They are beginning to feel that Johnson is the man who can win, that he can carry States that even the most pronounced Bryan man will not claim for him, and that Is why they want their States to 20 to the convention uninstructed.
 The leaders of the party feel that thor delegates. if uninstructed. after conference with the delegates from the Northwest can get some idea of the strength of the different candidates in these sections and that they then can make wise choice and from the way things look here now Johnson will be that choice.
 Governor JohnsDr was here this week attending the Conference of Governors called by the President to discuss the conservation of the resources of the country, and the reception he met here from the leaders Of the party must warm the cookies in hts heart
 Mir. Bryan was here too, to attend the same conference and he must see that there has been a decided change in the sentiment of the leaders Of the party In the past few weeks. He can't help but see 1t, and he sees also. that ell the sentiment leans toward cover nor Johnson.

COMMERCIAL INTERESTS

Tokio, May 17--The negotiations be- tween the United States and Japan relating to conventions which shall secure protections for American com mercial interests in Japan and Korea. including patents, copyrights and trademarks, have just been brought 10 what is believed a satisfactory con clusion. The papers have now been transferred from Tokio to Washington where 1t is hoped the final signatures will be appended.
 The question of American rights has been under discussion for three years and the American Ambassador. Thomas J. O'Brien, recently actively called the attention of the Japanese officials to the matter and since then he has had numerous conferences with them. with the result that the two countries have reached what, 1t Is understood, both sides regard as a satisfactory agree ment on all points, thus avoiding future differences. which periodically, for many years have caused irritation

 The effort to carry Alabama for Johnson for nominee for President of the United States though apparently backed by unlimited money, has been most complete failure. although it was worked quietly by personal letters to the Individual voter before the ex- tensive headquarters were opened and a strenuous campaign started which has been carried on mainly by corpo- rate representatives during the past two weeks.

TRADEsMAN's REVIEW.
Iron and Steel Conditions in South are
 ImDrOVfug

Iron and steel Conditions In south are
 Improving.
 Chattanooga, Tenn, May 17.-Review- ing iron and trade conditions in the South. The Tradesman says today:
 With the statement made in more than one iron company ofhce that the monthly make is being disposed of right along, local smelters announce ing that their trade is picking up some and recently some good orders have been booked, together with the posi- tive assertion that there will be no slashing of quotations of iron because there is no need for 1t, the Southern pig iron market can be reported as be- ing in splendid condition, the panic considered. The Southern iron manu- lecturers are still smaEting to some extent over the accusation that was made in the North that a large tonnage of iron was being offered or was about to be offered at a rate of $2 under the steady quotatign, in other words. at $1250 per ton No. 2 foundry. The general denial that any such proceed ings was in effect Is reiterated.
 The SIoss Sheffield Steel and Iron Company the second largest iron pro- ducing company in the South, has blown in No. 1 city furnace in Birm- ingham. This furnace has a daily out put of 200 tons. The Birmingham Coal and Iron Company has blown in its new furnace at Vanderbilt near Birm~ ingham, and the other furnace of this company is out for repairs. The make for the month of May promises to ex- ceed that of the previous month. Ala bama being given credit for only 95.- 900 tons against more than 114,000 tons during the month of March.
 Southern cast iron pipe plants have recently secured some healthy orders which promise to call for large melt this year.
 Foundry Company has been started up with curtailed force. The indica- tions point to a steady operation In this~tfade for some time to come. The demand for steel is reported a little ouiet. As far as can be learned no cut in Southern steel prices has been made.
 The repairing of blast iron furnaces at Attalla Gadsden, Thomas, Wood ward and Anniston has progressed so far that the completion is but a short time removed now All depends on the demand for iron. The furnace com pany officials seen express the opinion that it will not be long ere there will be A change for the better and that conditions will improve rapidly when by the people.
 iron has been selling in the South under SIP per ton No. ? foundry. Some of the larger companies assert that they have made sales as high sa SIP 50 per ton, No. foundry.
