cause Of the shrinking in the sales Of

The whole field of woolen manufac-
turing II close to stagnation, which
causes a dull wool market. A slack
demand Is not d price-lifting factor.
The tone Of the market Is decidedly
against the owner Of wool and Is Iii

The platform upon which Judge
Parker was nominated did not con-
tain any plank on the money ques-
ton. However, Judge Parker teIe-
graphed to his manager In st. Louis,
(but not until after he was nomi-
nated) that they should have put a
gold plank in the platform. II
Judge Parker thought this why
didn't he say so before he was NOM
mated. But now the speakers can
go before the people with two faces.
When they are in New York they
will speak in favor ofgold, when In
Nebraska they will say money lie

managers seem to be for anything if
they think it will help 10 elect their
man.
