cnue Only Platform Plans.

ST. Louis, July 2.-'No compromise with the
radical silver element, halfway plank in
the platform in attempt 20 pacate the radicals
but straightforward declaration for sound
money" This is the statement with which the
tonight. Ex-senator David b Hill will repre-
sent New York in the committee on resolutions
and Will present the sound money PLANK. Its
adoption. which Mr.. IIiu considers certain. will.
in his estimation. sound the tocsn for the nomi-
nation of Judge Parker.
Ex-senator HILL x-United States Senator Ed
ward Murphy. State Senator Patrick II. McCar-
rem, William F. Sheehan. Jacob A. Cantor, Elliot
Danforth and other leaders arrived here this
evening. On the way 1t decided that Mr..
Hill should be the New-York member of the
committee on resolutions William F. Sheehan
the member OF the committee credentials,
and that ex-senator Murphy should cast the
seventy-eight votes of New-York for Parker and
a sound money plank.
Norman T. Mack will be supported for
the question of a tariff declaration. Senator
Hill believes that the plank should be tariff for
revenue only.
While not desiring to talk for publication
night Mr.. Hill has to-day expressed the belief
that Judge Parker viii he chosen on the second
ballot, and perhaps the first. There is grow
ing belief among those of the party arriving to-
day that the Tammany delegates, approaching
the strength OF Mr. Parker and having no ar
guineHt 10 present against his fitness viii re-
frain from opposing him. II is insinuated by
some Of the party that this harmony NAV be
accomplished by promising the nomination for
Governor to Mayor Mcclellan or some other
man acceptable TO Tammany.

Opposing Forces.

ST Louis, July For the first time since the
delegates to the Democratic convention began TO
collect in this city. a movement looking to united
action the part Of the ant-Parker forces

league. Senator CockrelI. and in conference
several times to-day with leaders Of what is
known the Bryan element. and with repre-
sentatives of W. r. Hearst, Senator German
and other possible candidates.
No details of these meetings were obtainable
and Senator Stone refused to discuss them. lie
talked freely however Of the necessity of
united action saying among other things;
1t is evident that Mr.. Parker will enter the
convention with the votes of a majority OF the
thousand delegates, and any reasonable man
should be able to that if there is not an
understanding among the opposing delegations
he is likely to secure the two-thirds vote neces-
sary to nominate soon as his strength IS
made manifest. 1 do not believe that two-thirds
Of the delegates are naturally favorable to MI.

Senator Cockrers availability will become so
evident tn the convention 10 take him
up and give him the nomination.
Members of the Missouri delegation express
no personal aversion to Judge Parker. but they
say that his candidacy would greatly weaken
the ticket in this State, largely because Of Bry-
ans opposition TO him.
\ little light as shed to-day on the many
conferences that have taken place i'm the East
between German. Guffey, Mclean. Smith and
Murphy. a delegate who has been cognizant Of
what took place at these conferences said that
at their close one of the men participating in
them remarked. We'll. nearer a con-
Clusion thaD when We first commenced to talk.
In going the situation they found that
even il they should enter into combination TO
defeat Parker they would be no nearer results
than before, and some of them feared that the
defeat of Parker would afford opportunity to
nominate Cleveland To this some OF the men
in the conference were opposed, while others
were somewhat favora BILE.

The Financial World.

The close OF the fiscal year finds Wall Street
in a state of lethargy. IL is not merely thar
speculation is inactive-there is no speculation
Yet the events of the year have been favorable
the worst that can be said is that industry has
suffered some depression from the phenomenal
standard OF 1923. though compared with any
other period it is unsurpassed. And exports
are ahead of the preceding year-also the ex-
cess Of exports over imports. Agricultural con-
ditions have been excellent. Satisfactory crops
were harvested and marketed at satisfactory
prices-notably cotton. The result is enor-
nous addition 10 National wealth and buying
power. The production of gold has been on a
large scale. resulting in immense addition to
actual money in circulation.
Yet, with all these facts patent. Wall Street is
gloomy and the public holds aloof Students of the
market. however, think to discern signs of ap-
preaching change. 1t is evident that liquidation
terminated some time ago. which puts an end to
bear power. for there is money in selling
stocks short unless real holdings can be dis
lodged. Actual holdings not coming on the
market. nor have they been for the last six
months: speculative holdings can scarcely be
said to exist. as evidenced by the cheapness OF
money. Where are securities lodged? Evident
ly i'm the strong boxes of owners. or locked UP IN
the great banking houses. Hence the market is
Indifferent TO bear rumors or to such actual bad
course Of events. In the words OF a leading
bank president. indifference to scare is the
predominant market feature.
