Wall Street Mem Think Parker Can
not Be Elected.

Wall Street sentiment was somewhat mixed yes
terday as a result of Judge Parkers oelated teIe-
gram to the Democratic Convention, but a ma
iority OF traders expressed the opinion that the
candidates statement to his position on the
money question came too late to help the Demo
Gratis. Many said that it was distinct reLe1' so
far business interests were concerned 10 kno"
that at least the candidate was for the present
standard but few could be found who thought
there was a chance of Democratic victory
The stock market reflected little news of impor-
lance It opened firm, but later declined on proht
taking. Most Wall Street men took the stand
that Judge Parlers late avowal of his views would
have small effect on the result of the election That
it somewhat improved his chances they acknowl-
edged, but that it would endanser Republican
victory they denied
The final outcome of the Democratic convention
resulted In shading Of the betting offers.

Hamilton Fish Assistant Treasurer st the Sinh
Treasury said:
do rot think the Republican party need be dis
turbed at all by the action of either the Democratic
convention or Judge Parker in sending his dispatch
coming out for gold. Oven Judge Parker's most
earnest advocate cannot count with any confidence
upon the result in either New-York. New-Jersey
or connecticut, and to win he have only
those states, but two others Of the Northern
states in addition 10 the solid South.
Among other Wall Street men who consented TO
be quoted were A. II. Curtis. cashier OF the Ma
tonal Bank Of North America. who said that while
Parker's dispatch ought TO make him strong with
the gold Democrats, and weak with the advocates
or free silver, 1t did not give 10 him possible
chance OF defeating Roosevelt, and Henry Clews,
who SAID that Parkers action, while partial
remedy for the mistake OF the convention, left a
strong doubt IN the minds OF business men about
