cial committee Of the national com

COMMERCE
Wall Street.

New York, July 1S.-Another SUP
~stantial uplifht put prices Of stocks to
the highest point of the week and in
some prominent cases, to the highest
of the year The closing tone was
very b%uoyant and animated. United
States Steel was a conspicuous in
stance and large absorption of this
stock had a material sympathetic eff
feet on the list. This sympathy was
especially marked in the case of Penn
sylvania owing to the large proportion
of iron and steel products in the traf-
fc of hat road. 1t was affected also
by the statement given out for pub
LEGATION by the president of the con-
pany in which he favored the general
policy OF advances in freight rates,
thus altering a previous impression oil
the opposition of that company to that
policy. The question of freight rates
advances still occupies a foremost
place of interest for the speculative
world. The belief in progress toward
hat end was confirmed by the days
news of a determination to advance
rates by the Southeastern Freight as
ISOLATION and the Southeastern Mis-
sissippi Valley association. The in
tended increase in freight rates Is a
stimulating influence in the demand
for securities. The effect did not seem
to be modified today by the express
ed opinion of Interstate Commission
er Clements that a general increase in
freight rates such as had been report
ed as in contemplation. would consti-
tute a violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. The strength of United
States Steel was fostered by the OPP
Aim faff, NFfnKKFr .AF ftn. nIngt1nnt az re-
ported in published interviews An
adjustment of the wage scale with its
employees by the Republic Iron and
Steel company helped the steel indus
trials. Mercantile agents reported a
moderate but steady advance in busi-
ness activity which Is shown also by
the country's bank clearings. Another
decrease in the number of the idle
freight ears for the two weeks end
ing July rs strengthened the continue
ton of improving business conditions.

Democratic Success.

ttt VCbudu, tnC ooiC SVAAtCpoD-
dent of the Chicago Record Her
aid, who has been in Denver study
ing the political situation, states
the rather interesting fact that
hope for success is strong with all
Democrats except the Southerners.
While the Northern Democrats
are Telling and saying that their
party is going to win great vie
tory in November, the Democrats
of the South ara lacking in conf
dence. This is not surprising
condition, however, when we re-
call the fact that the Southern
Democrats were badly buncoed by
the Parker fiasco in 1904, and that
for the last three or four months
the South has been flooded with
the emissaries of the refractory
forces in the East, all declaring
that Bryan hasn't a ghost of a
chance to win." These tactics
were employed to defeat the nomi-
nation of the Nebraskian, and
though they failed conspicuously
the effect was to fill the South with
doubt and misgivings. However,
there is reason to believe that the
Southern delegates will be Impress
ed by the enthusiasm that prevails
at Denver among the Democrats
of the North and West, aud will
return home in a more cheerful
frame of mind. In commenting
Oh the situation as it developed in
Denver, Mr.. Wellman says:
"As it looks now, the Democra-
cy will this time go into the presl-
Dental battle more than united,
more harmonious, more hopeful
than in any struggle since 1892.
One of the noteworthy features OF
this convention is the confidence
of many Democrats in their ability
to carry the country. Bryan him.
self has inspired them with bis
own indomitable lighting, conf
dent spirit. 1t is well known that
in way Bryan is fatalist. He
set out years ago to make
himself President of the United
States. He believes way down in
his heart that the third try will
prove the charm. And it is moi
only Bryan that feels that way
The Democrats who come from al
parts of the country are full OF en-
thnsiasm and hope and even conf
; dence-all except those from th'
South. They have not yet risel
to the appreciation of the oppor
tuuity which lies before their par
ty. They still look upon Bryan a
a magnificent leader of hopeless
cause. They hear the Northern
democrats say that this time sue
3 cess is sure, aud they reply: w
are from Missouri"
In examining the reasons OF tn
confidence manifested at Denve
Mr.. Wellman found that it wa
based on the belief of the fighting
element of the party that anon
