A decided improvement in the general
tone of the market was evidenced at yes
terday's meeting of the Stock Exchange.
A number Of issues registered sharp ad-
vances and all showed firmness.

not in great demand.
Capital Traction opened at 129, dropped
to 12S ga, and regained the opening price
again before the close. SeVenty-one
shares were sold altogether. Railway
common still held at 40 on a ten-share
sale, and the preferred was steady at IS.
Gas opened at Sc 3-4, and held that
level during the sale of 164 shares dur
ing the regular call. After call a ten
share sale raised the price to Sc IS.
Mercy sold thirty-siX shares at 22S l-2'
continuing its climb back to the high
level of one month ago. Ten shares of
Union Savings went at 2S7.
In the bond list a $1,000 Gas per cent
bond sold at 10. a 500 Traction went
at 100 SIS. and a $1,000 Telephone went
at 103 9

Oscar w. Underwood for Vice Presi-
dent on the democratic ticket is the latest
suggestion in national politics. The prop
osition is regarded as being more than
complimentary mention" since 1t is not
handicapped by the geographical limita-
tions to which candidacy for first place
on the ticket Is subjected. Mr.. Under
woods friends are inclined to consider
the suggestion as being in high degree
complimentary-a tribute to the man, re-
gardless of section.
1t has been customary in the past for
each party to select the candidate for
Vice President to strengthen the ticket in
some particular section or state or to Sc
cure the adherence of q faction or ele-
ment- In this case no such motive would
govern, as the south is safely democratic
no matter who is nominated. 1t results,
therefore, In the opinion Of Mr.. Under
woods friends that talk of his nomina-
tion must be based upon appreciation Of
mis- qualities as a statesman and man.
Regarded as Cool aud Capable. Il
No one will deny that Mr.. Underwood,
through his leadership in the House dur
ing the last session. following long years
Of distinguished service In the minority.
won sincere praise. He was pronounced
q cool, capable. "level-headed'' leader,
and the unanimous support accorded him
by the factions in the democratic party
in the House was recognition. 1t is claim
ed. of confidence in his qualities.
Only one dissonant note has been heard
sounded by William j. Bryan. echoes of
which are yet being heard from time to
time. AS far as that is concerned, some
of his friends say, I'VE love him for the
enemies he has made.
1t Is assumed that Mr.. Bryan would
oppose the selection of Mr.. Underwood for
second place. since Mr.. Bryan considers
Mr.. Underwood too conservative. Some
Wilson is man after Mr. Bryan's own
heart. and that if Woodrow Wilson is
nominated for President it would
strengthen the ticket to put up con-
servative" prop.
1t is known to be a fact that the most
thoughtful and prominent democrats in
the councils of the party are intent upon
choosing their ticket in 1912 with the
greatest caution and circumspection and
10 not allow the party to be swept
INTO selection Of their candidates by any
tidal wave of emotion or '.cross Of gold
and crown of thorns" tactics.
Care in Making Choice.
They are moved to this determine ton,
they explain. by the sincere conviction
that the coming contest will present
their golden opportunity of success. the
most promising since the first Cleveland
campaign. They do not propose to de-
stroy their prospects by unwise selection
of candidates.
Some of these democrats 80 on to say
that they believe the eyes of the busi-
ness world are upon the democratic party
and that there is n promising outlook of
winning back to the democratic ticket in
1912 the voters who have drifted away
since 1896 in successive campaigns. If
the democratic candidates are wisely
chosen.
