UISSULT OP NKW ISSUES. The llnanclal situation Is complicated by the fact that the .preliminaries to the elec tion have developed political surprlBeB which are profoundly unsettling. Previous to the conventions , public Interest centered entirely In the silver question. The dem ocratic convention , however , contrary to an expectation , has sprung upon the couiitrj n set of now Issues of a fundamentally threatening nature. The Chicago platfprn : has exhibited a condition of widespread discontent seeking remedy In > nensurca threatening to our Institutions ami hostile to the federal constitution. With Home modification of expression , the socialism , nnd anarchical tendencies which have taken HUch deep hold across the Atlantic have found bold utterance by our party leaders. So pointedly and so violently have these tendencies found expression In the Chicago nnd pooullst platforms as to produce wide party ruptures and Introduce into politics n new set of Issues of the gravest charac ter. It would not bo prudent or safe to treat this Irruption of revolutionary Ideas ns a mere transient outbreak of Ignorant discontent. It Is that ; but It Is also some thing more. Lying beneath It Is the great Industrial revolution arising from the In troduction of steam nnd of machine Instru mentalities of production. That chance has been , attended with n largo and uni versal reduction In prices , which has fallen with some Inequality upon the different classes and has been especially severa upon the farming and planting Interests. The complicated operation of these causes has not been perceived or understood ; am their effects have been blindly attributed to the cessation of the coinage of silver nnd to mere party policies. Instead of waiting until , this , prcat Industrial develop 'ment has worked out lt benellclal results nnd until all Interests have found their true relations In the new conditions , the millions -of the west and the , south , , who Know little of economic conditions or ques tions. have been misled by a false diagnosis nnd' nnd In the industrial revolution noth ing better than an occasion for polltlca revolution. Thus , the first effect of a great economic change Is to arouse ni Ignorant resistance to Its progress , and to defeat a higher organization within the Industrial world by Introducing dlsorgnn izatlon Into the political world. CAUSE OP THIS ALARM. "This Is the significance of the revolu Nonary * tendencies In politics which have found expression at the democratic am popullstlc .xonventlons. Few comprchom these aspects of the situation ; and there foru there Is a general alarm at the signs of the times and moat men arc nnxlouslj asking what next ? Thoughtful men , while feeling carnestlj that these new political drlflp must be promptly met by discussion and by. the dlf fusion of Information , are yet beginning to iiak whether the situation really warrant the extent of alarm to which the public is yielding. So far as respects the sllvc question , competent Judges have found no reason for changing the estimate so generally orally conceded Immediately after the con elusion of the St. Louis convention namely that the maintenance of the gold stand nrd will bo assured by the election of Mr JIcKlnlcy. As for the other Issues spruni , upon the country by the Chicago plutforn and nominees. It should hardly be a matte for surprised alarm If the rovolutlonnrj politics which have made such extenslv headway In Kuropo should find sympathlz crs In this country also. VKRY LIKE ANARCHY. What the Chicago utterances really mem Is that socialistic and anarchistic Idea have already found n lodgment among n certain class of our professional politicians nnd that those men deemed the dlseonten fostered by the agricultural depression favorable vorablo to the launching of their theories Wo have to thank these people for thl revelation of the lowest depths of their dc Htructlvo policies. The worst Is known , and sound patriot TV-Ill bo all the hotter able to protect th best , nut Is the discovery of these demor nllzlng elements In our national politics suf tlclent reason for the Htnto of fright Int which our men of llnanco nnd men or com mcrce have yielded themselves ? Does th eltuatlon of the hour really mean anythln moro than that wo nro going to occup ourselves with a new Bet of political Issues "When It takes long years of discussion t lirlng n sober-minded nation to rovolu tlonlzc Its political Institutions Is It nol rather premature to Instantly fall Into pan. Irliy alarm at the crazy utterances of the Chicago convention ? Kuropo Is pi'rmeatci with various forms or organized hostllltj to Its existing political Institutions , bin Imvo tins plottlngs nnd gatherings or these malcontents ever caused n rail or 1 pet cent in the price of consols or rentes ? A llttlo more confidence In the stability of oui institutions nnd In thn patriotism of out citizens would save us from a great deal of needless discounting of our Investment ! nnd from much needless abstention froir the development of our wealth. Homo ol these days wo shall look back upon these current spasms of alarm nnd wonder lion wo could have so far lost our sclr-conlldenc < and self-respect. COUKAfii : AMI COMMDKXOi : IlliTUllA irN SiitlnlliMl Unit Free Hllvvi Cii n not roNKllilf AVI ii , NEW YORK , Aug. 1. Wall street had i wild manncrvd week , compared with m cent preceding actlvlly. With scarcely ai exception the net changes of the week an declines , though In few Instances are the : of any special conseriuenco. A great ma Jorlty of the changes arc fractional merely Over 3i .000 shares of Sugar trust stocl weru dealt In during the week with n Una filftcreneo between the today's closlni prices nnd the price a week ago of onlj a single point. Them Is just the sanu change In liurlliiBton & Qulncy with trad lug In about 70,000 shares or the stock , whlli Hook Island. Just about half as active , aim changes Just about 1 per rent. St. I'au vn s the most active railroad stock dealt In transactions aggregating about 100,00 shares , showing a ilccllno of utiout 3 pe cent. It has suffered more than any othc : of the granger stocks. All of the Indus trials have been weak , though the decllnei have not been consequential. During the week the bear contingent liai not been particularly aggressive. Us lead crs have madu less nolso than usual. Oi two or three days they huvo seemed ti be Intent upon tumbling over one. nnothei to cover outstanding short contracts , li seme stocks the short interest hail becomi Wg and unwieldy , and the clearer hcadvi of the bear crowd saw the danger of t The arrival of Mark Hnnna to start tin MoKtnley campaign vigorously has boei nn Inlluenco of consequence. The conllden why In which Mr. Hitnna talks of victor ; has given courage to the rank and Illo o sound money people hero. The men win were despondent a week ago have hecoin < not only hopeful but really convinced tlui Iho danger of itrynn'a success has pnssci nwny. This Is a fuctor of the ut in 03 Importance qulto ouuido of polltlca , It gives courage to Investors , who. how ver ( icnKplesaly , have been n nrly fright- ned to deftth. It hn put nn end nli"o o the reckless and swiiRRcrlng ways of tcnr tpeculnlorii , who Imagined they could nlk iwurltlM down without any ponMbll- ty of cjipoiltlon. The vntiio or InspIrluK ourngo nnd cnnfldenco In Inventing clr- lea nt this Juncture cnnnot bo ovcKstl- mated. The fnlluro of Ihc comptroller of the city f New York to Ret bids on municipal sold icntls fthowB to what extent the npprchen- lens of the Investing public hml gone. ilmllar fnl'ures ' imported from other parts of the country liftvc shown that the New York experience IB only fairly reflected of he general Htunllon elsewhere. Hut there tfttiH to be Indications that the lack of ccnfldence Ptid the feellntr of depression ugRrnted by this icfusal to invest fit low , ilres In Rllt-odKe Investments Is not gdmr o be permanent , or Indeed last for any i eligth of time. The Incident was made much of by the bear manipulator of the lock market , but the apprehensions were ranclent. The fact that Mr Hnnna speaks confidently of national republican cam- ) al n success" plvcs quite ns much cheerful- less to Investors us to the politicians of his mrty. Kuropo linn been doing llttlo In Ihls mar- ft--nlmoBt nothing' . There tins been nn entire nbsciire of sales of slookB on any- hlng like a big scale for the account of orelgu Investors. The bend of ono of he most Important International bank- ng houses In Wall street' said to me today : The fact Is , Europe Isn't scaled ns much ibout America an America Is Itfelf. Stocks mil bonds of American corporations held ibrodd nro not likely to bo thrown on the nnrltct upon any new apprehension that hist country Is going upon a sliver basis. "Confidence 1ms been lately growing stronger and stronger nt London and at Jetllii that the common sense and patriot ism of the American people arc. bound to vln a. sweeping victory this fall. And , as a further matter of fact , the creation of he present silver Issue Is really looked ipon In high foreign circles ns most de cidedly encournplni ; . The Europeans have convinced themselves that the pernicious schemes represented by llryanlsm are eer- nln to be fully and qulnkly slumped out 'or good. AVIth Kiich a feeling prevailing t Is easy to understand that foreign In- : eresls will bo Inclined rather to buy thane o pell our stocks nnd bonds. Moreover , cable dispatches sent abroad this week by the most Important bankers In America nen who have taken great pains to flud out the real situation have all tended to make It clear that honest money Is sure : o win. " It Is stated on what seems to be good au thority In Wall street that Itarnoy Uarnnlo mil other millionaire foreigners Imvo en- ered Into Iho pool to buy certain Amor- can stocks on a big scale. It has been de clared that such n pool has nlrondy bought and paid for approximately 110,000 shares of Louisville and St. r.iuf stocks. These stocks are said to bo transferred Into the names of new owners and nro to bo locked up In London until after the election In No- vcmbur , when , according to the conlldent anticipations ot these millionaire Investors , stock market quotations will bo given a tremendous boom by the triumph of the republican national ticket. The Wall street bankers' scheme to con trol the sterling exchange market Is still In evidence , but to nn unprejudiced observer It really wems to bo overmuch hlppo- dromcd. If It accomplishes n'l ' that Is aimed at Its services will bo of Incomparable magnitude , while If by miscalculation the syndicate performance would fall short of what Is sought there might be a sequel not pleasant to anticipate. Its purpose Is In every son. o most worthy , but It is Just as well to be frank and admit that there are some people In Wnll street who seldom go Inlo big deals Just for patriotism sake nnd who need to have careful watch- Ing. A cash commission In Wall street Is sometimes a very fetching persuader. General trade returns have few new fea tures ot consequence and business waits. Conditions are much the same as they al ways are In a national political campaign. Railroad reports are not very encouraging. Crop news Is generally cheerful. In the mercantile world there Is complaint of slow collections. Managers of banks are disposed to take what the" call a con servative position and cut down loans. The report or the Now York clearing house today shows that loans in this city were reduced by the banks during the week nearly JTi.000,000. This , however , Is no whim upon the part of bank managers , for the deposits held by the banks have shrunk during the week between $ S , < XW,000 and fil.000,000. This looks as though the scheme of hoarding money on a pretty big scale was under way. During last week and this week over $20,000,000 have been withdrawn by depos itors from New York banks. In the New York banks there Is now a margin of only 3 or 4 per cent mirnlus of deposits above what Is loaned out. The exact figure ? are : Total deposits , WS3.000.000 , while the banks have loaned $470,000,000. These flg- Ures are dangerously close together. 11 this Is 'continued and depositors during the next fortnight show a desire to draw out as much as has been drawn during the last two weeks the present amounts loaned by New York banks would bo 55,000.000. or more In excess of deposits. One year ago there was a margin on the right side ot something like $7.i,000OCO between loans am deposits In these same banks. An clement In the situation not too encouraging Is n fact that while the batiks nro now loaning practically 97 per cent of their' total de- nnslts the rates they arc getting are rela tively small. Probably less than 10 per cent of the loans in New York banks arc drawing at much as C per cmt nut per annum , \.niic GO per cent ot the loans are probably at : per cent or under. Ono significant feature in the New Yorli banking situation Is disclosed In a currcn review of commercial conditions sent ou by one or the leading mercantile agencies which says : "Many Interior banks advised their cor respondents that funds would shortly b < taken out of New York deposit accounts for employment on Northwestern tcrmlna elevator loans on wheat , rates for whlcl were slowly advancing , but the New Yorl Institutions sought to keep these with drawals as small as mlpht be by notlfylnp of n small Increase In the rate of Interes paid on balances when they thought I would bo effective. " Thus there may bo some foundation t ( expect tight money during the next te\\ mouths.1 Dut In u period when nil business men seem quite content to go slow then are. I apprehend , no substantial reason ; Tor nervousness on this account. As I hav < over and over again pointed out latelv , bar gain counter prices are being made thli summer In Wnll street. A prominent utocl exchange firm summarizes what seems tc me the right sentiment In a dispatch thej sent today to out-of-town customers , say Ing : " \Vo bellevo thnt Jir. McKlnley will bi elected. Wo believe that between now am election there will bo a dally Increaslnt number of people or the same opinion n ourselves. \ \ o cannot see how this cai have any effect but one , nnd that is to In erenso confidence , stimulate credit , rcvivi business , nnd Incidentally very greatly nd vance stocks. We have never seen nn on portunlty that offers more attractions to In vestors thun those offered by thn seeurltj market loday. It seems to us that Investor nro certain to make largo prollts on so curlt cs bought now on reasonable mar gin , In reasonable qunntltv. nnd with rea sonublo patience. " _ H. ALLAWAY.

There was nn un- usunl wheat market. It sold up He early on rnlny weather , then turned weak nnd closed nt uSHc for September , or V c below Friday. Corn nnd ontn each lost a trlflo of their previous values and provisions gained n little. lliilhcr n dull day wan noted In wheat , the market exhibiting but llttlo life nnd nurltmtlons kept within Tkc. The feeling manifested wus rnther easy nnd final fig ures showed a loss ot Vc. The steadiness early was altrlbutnblo largely to the wet weather In most of the winter wheat states. Country acceptances were again small und Insignificant and St. Louis strong and higher and Imparted some strength to the situation. Argentine Rhlpments were larger than IntU week , but mill small. The small trade and the absence of foreign advices , owlutf to tin : bank holidays In Knglnnd , wire rather against the prlco and then local arrivals exceeded Iho estimates. Northwestern receipts , too , showed u mod erate Increase. Crop prospects were not very favorable from the northwest. The local out Inspection was moderate and Rea- bonrd clearing ! ! fair. The closing Paris maiket was unchanged for wheat and Hour lOo higher. Ucrlln was unchanged , ns was also Antwerp. There was not much of a trade In corn , the market keeping \vltliln pncc of the transactions principally between room oper ators. The opening wan a llttlo Irregular and after selling up % e broke ' .4c , changed porno and cloned with Vic decline. The late heavy lake engagements , small acceptances from Iho country and action of wheat were productive of the early slrcnglh. Onls were stronger cnrly , but weakened.
