Binghomton, N. Y, Sept ~
Charles E. Hughes motored over muddy
streets. thru the first rain storm ne
has experienced since he began his
campaign, to address an audience at
the opera house here today.
It had been arranged to have him
speak at railway stations but at the
last moment it was decided to have
local speakers so that Mr. Hughes
might conserve his voice.
In his speech here he said:
ut is no time to be talking OF
tariff for revenue only. We need pro-
lection tor our Industries, and there
is no man who can tell you where the
democratic party stands in regard to
protection of American interests.
1T takes all of us, too. to make the
United States and make it prosperous,
and we will never do it unless labor

He declared he would like to see an
eighth hour work day, but that he stood
squarely for investigation before legis-
lation, and would not yield an inch
to labor or capital on that principle

FROM TRADE ORGANS
Coal Prices Declining

In spite Of several days OF rather
cold weather, prices in the speculative
anthracite market have softened still
further since the middle of last week.
This is accounted for, not by any In
crease in the present supply, but by
the promise of relief soon after the
first of December, when a part Of the
tonnage now being shipped TO the
lakes will be diverted to Eastern mar
kets. While coal will continue 10 q
West all-rail when navigation closes,
there will undoubtedly be more avail.
able in the East, and that is countei
upon to ease the situation. But what
ever the outcome may prove 20 be, u
is fact that the retail trade Is refus-
ing to buy any more coal at the high
prices that were being paid a few
weeks ago. Premiums Of two 70 three
dollars are still being obtained on
limited tonnage, but prices are down
three or four dollars from the high.

Com I'M Odities

on the 18th Of the month, traders are
Gisinclined to make noteworthy vent
ures on either side Of the market
Hence, it is not likely that there will
be much done except small scalping OPP
erations, which was the case yesterday.
The majority of traders contented
themselves with evening up" on their
deals, and as result prices generally
moved within narrow radius, the
widest range between top and bottom
figures being only II points.
AS might be expected, quotations for
different deliveries showed consider
able irregularity at times. but in the
main the general trend was downward,
and small net losses were reported at
the close, although a fairly spirited
rally in the late trading carried prices
temporarily slightly over Fridays clos
ing levels.
There seemed to be considerable local
professional and uptown liquidation
going on, and one prominent local
trader sold 10000 bales of January and
March at the opening. There was also
little short selling for Wall Street
account. On the decline there was
scattering demand from short sellers,
who seemed especially eager to buy
when the list was on a parity with
20.30 for March.
New Orleans was fairly heavy
buyer, and leading local professional
bought about 10000 bales Of January.
There was little especially noteworthy
in the news, although the report from
Fall River was considered dsappoint-
ing, placing the sales of cotton goods
for the week at only 10000 pieces,
against 10000 pieces in the previous
week.
Practically no advices were received
from Southern spot markets, and, Of
course, no cables were received, as the
Liverpool market was closed The
quantity brought into sight for the
week was 6l7,43s bales, against AL ,66l
bales for the same week last year, and

SuStenance

Wheat.-At one time early in the
session yesterday wheat was again
conspicuously weak, prices breaking
sharply. In Chicago December was
down 4Sc, May &c and July sac. Sub
sequently the market became much
stronger and nearly all the loss was
recovered, December being ic net down
and May and July each &c down. The
initial depression suggested no par
ticularly new developments, being
caused by influences already mentioned
during the week.
Il Is true, however, that cable ad-
vice, were discouraging, European
markets being depressed slightly by
decline Of &c to SC in Rosario, but this
was partly Offset by the expectation of
light worlds shipments, and espe-
cially outside Of North America; and
hence there may be a decrease in the
quantity on passage Monday.
Further allusion was made TO the
embargo on several railroad lines,
which would serve TO check confidence
temporarily, and there was also addi-
tional agitation regarding the placing
of an embargo on exports, and con-
tinued rumors respecting early peace
in Europe. But il was the consensus
Of opinion among unbiased dealers that
both of these rumors were without
solid foundation. The subsequent par
tial recovery was cons.cered largely CT
the natural reaction" order, it being
generally agreed that a rebound was
warranted after so many days OF re-
markable depression.
As usual at such times-when one
extreme has followed the other-the
decline has been as much too rapid and
great as was the preceding advance.
in other words. there are great many
unprejudiced merchants who believe
tina. prices are down 20 a safer and
more solid basis. In their judgment, a
large part Of the wheat now in sight
in this country will be shipped to
Europe as soon as freight room can be
secured, and, therefore, we have only
a small quantity to spare for export.
Therefore, it is assumed. the scarcity
in this country will become more acute
late I'M the winter or early in the
spring.
II was asserted that fairly large
quantity of hard winter wheat had been
bought late yesterday, in part for Hol-
land, the grand total being estimated
at about 100000 bushels. In addition,
il was asserted that agents Of the
Greek government were in the market
for about 2,250,0 bushels. but this re-
port was at first generally ignored, It
being feared that the necessary finan-
cial arrangements could not be con-
summated; but subsequently 1t was
thought that the outlook was brighter
for financing the proposition when the
King of Greece surrendered TO the Al
lies. Hence it would create no sur
prise should contracts for the wheat
be made next week.
