Wednesday decided that the La Toilette

ment to the public giving his reason

Chairman Taggart Announces Judge
Parker's Course Of Action in
Present Campaign.

New York, Oct. 7.-Chairman Tag
CART at democratic headquarters gave
out the following statement Thursday:
Shortly after his nomination Judge
Parker set about the consideration OF
his course of action toward the conduct
of the campaign. He consulted many
men Of large experience in such mat
tiers and made an examination of the
course of every successful candidate.
That done he decided, as it was neces-
sary for him to do, what his course
should be, and he caused that decision
to be made generally known. It was to
the effect that he would not go upon
the stump; that such speeches as he
should deem it desirable to make
could be made at Rosemount, follow
ing in that respect the Mckinley pre-
cedent of 1896. That decision made
and announced he proceeded to work
along the lines he had marked out for
himself. He believed then-as he be-
lieves now-that he decided rightly.
anu no amount of entreating would
bulge him. His record during all his
life proves that clamor will not move
him one iota. The incident is closed
and those in charge Of the campaign
fully approve of the determination of
Judge Parker"

Trade Outlook Il Helped BY Many
Features Which Are
Favorable.

Weekly Review Of Trade. says: with
the crops almost beyond danger, prices
Of securities at the highest point since
May. 1903, and idle machinery resum-
ing at many factories and mills that
have been closed for months, the bust
ness outlook grows steadily brighter.
BY far the best feature of the situation
is the confidence manifested by an In
creased disposition to provide for fu-
ture requirements. This is by 10
means general, but it is noticed at pig
iron furnaces, wooden mills and among
dealers at widely separated points,
particularly those located in the agri-
cultural sections. Mercantile collec-
lions are also more prompt.
"F'ailures this week in the United
States are 222, against 223 last week.
225 the preceding week and 239 the
corresponding week last year. Fail
ures in Canada number Is, against Is
last week, 80 in the preceding week
and IL last year."
Bradstreet's says: Popular esti-
mates of leading crop yields continue
to enlarge, corn has passed out Of dan
ger of serious frost damage in the
west, and distribution, both at whole
sale and retail, expands as cooler
weather approaches. Additional fa-
vorable features are the continuance
of the good tone in pig-iron, freer buy
ing by railways of material and rolling
stock, and heavy general crop move
ment helping collections north and
