EASY FOR BRYAN.

Wisccnsins decision TO support Mr.. BRYAN as
q candidate for the Democratic Presidential
nomination will dash the hopes of those who
have been counting starting an ant-Bryan
movement in the Northwest and the Middle
West The success of such a movement would
depend on the creation OF nucleus OF opposi
ton In those sections pledged 10 the candidacy
OF some promising Middle Western or North
western leader. Colonel Watterson thought last
summer that a leader had been found in Gov
ernor John a. Johnson of Minnesota. Mr.
johnson had carried Minnesota twice-in 1904
and 1So6-and his two administrations have
proved successful and popular. He has a large
personal following among the Scandinavians
who have so largely populated Minnesota, North
Dakota and Northern Wisconsin. Politically
and personally, therefore. he seemed to be
highly eligible candidate for the Presidency, If
any other claims than those of Mr.. Bryan were
10 be considered next July at Denver
Colonel Watterson soon abandoned the effort
TO push Governor Johnson to the front He says
that the Eastern opponents of Mr.. Bryan failed
10 cooperate with him when cooperation might
have been fruitful, waking up 10 the opportu-
nifty only when it was too late The editor OF
The Courier7Journal" recognized, however that
no Democrat could be nominated for the Presi-
dency with The slightest chance of election who
did not have the Endorsement of AIr. Bryan. SO
long as the Nebraska leader himself held off.
any campaign for his elimination would be
hopeless. Governor johnson also realized the
existence of that Limitation, for though he has
appeared at times to he passive candidate
be has never put himself in the attitude of
seeking 10 antagonze his overshadowing Ne
6gasks neighbor. In the last month or two
H. New York World" and THE CharIesto ton
Nows and Courier have been conducting q
vigorous pro-Johnson and anti-Bryan agitation
But they can prc1rce no evidence TO show that
Mr.. Johnson has any intention of making an

THE BOND SALE.

The large ovoIsubScription of the city Dond
issue was to be expected. -Four and one-halr
per cent municipal bonds with fifty years TO
run at triie over par are an unusually at
tractive investment. AS they are had at ABOUT
the average price which in years past the city
has been able to obtain for Its 31a per cents,
they will yield TO their fortunate possessors l
per cent more interest than is ordinarily OBJ
tained on SO high class an investment The
holder of them is nearly one-thrd better on
in the income he will receive than the holder of
other city stock bought In recent years, before
the advance in interest in 1906.
The chief interest in the results of the auc-
ton lies In the light it sheds upon the con-
dition of the money market Viewed In this
respect, the sale indicates that there has not
yet been any such accumulation of capital re-
sulting from the economies practised after last
falls smash as to bring about normal cond1-
tions in the money market or indeed to pro-
duce much greater ease than existed ID sep
tember The September issue brought an aver
age price of 1OoO63. 1t is expected by the
Controller that this sale will average about 1O4
During 1906 and until September, 1907, per
cents sold readily at shade above par. ana
before that 31a per cents used to sell above par.
The actual average percentage on investments
in CITY bonds from 1900 to the beginning or
1906 was always less than 31a per cent, being
only 293 for the issue Of January, 19Ol During
1906 when the scarcity Of capital Degan 10
show itself it was less than per cent Last
September's brought 439 per cent ana the
present issue will yield only shade less. From
tnese figures it is evident that capital Is still ab
normally scarce and the interest rates In conse-
ouence are abnormally high. If economists are
right in assigning the recent panic to shortage
of LIQUID capital it is obvious that considerable
accumuations are still needed before business
will once more be easy. The results OF the
sale will be studied with interest by the large
corpora tfons, for railroads and INDUSTRIAL com
panies face refundng operations in their bonds
and short term notes to the extent OF S1o2.-
600 900 hafore .Iuly 1. This of course, is exclu-
siye of the demand for new capital.

landlords are up for examination and doing
their lovellest to prove themselves eligible
