Wholesale Selling Is Some

New York.-R. G.. Dun e Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade said:
Retail holiday trade is brisk, but
conservatism prevails in wholesale
transactions, buyers purchasing for
Immediate needs, but displaying cau-
ton about accumulating stocks for fu-
ture demands. Supplies in the hands
of distributors are therefore generally
light, and this fact, together with the
absence of speculative purchases. af-
fords ground for anticipating an ex-
pansion in demand in the very near
future.

STIRRED BY PINCHOT.
Minnesota Convention Likely to
Renounce Taft.

St Paul, June 19.-Gifford Pinchot
speech at the Roosevelt Club dinner here
week ago has resulted in putting the
delegates 20 the State convention to be
held on June 81 entirely up in the air.
The old-line machine had planned to
adopt a soft-pedal platform. indorsing
the administration. approving the tarin
commission plan, and omitting every
thing elxc of a national character. Fol-
lowing the Pinchot dinner there was such
a revival OF the insurgency spirit that
il is now. a matter of guesswork as to
what the platform will be. In the Ram
sey County convention (St PauD, the In
surgents kicked over a sidestepping plat
form approved President Taft's pa
triotic efforts in behalf of legislation
for the benefit Of the American people,
and then pledged cts unalterabie reaf-
firmation Of and adherence to the poll
cies promulgated by Theodore Roose-
velt." Since that action. reports are
coming in from all parts CT the State in
dicating that the progressive spirit has
been aroused among Republicans. and
that there will be a fight in the con-
vention for a platform denouncing the
Payne law as a reputation OF the par
tvs national platform pledges. 1ndica-
tions are that the convention VIII be
compelled 10 adopt a platform patterned
after the Indiana declaration. There is
but little light on State nominees, Gov.
Eberhard having no opposition for re-
nomination

smoothing the burning garments.

big touring car. while the physician was
working Diver was carried TO the ma
chine and with P. X. MauDins holding
