LONDON. July 12. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) More Indi
cative even , because of Its comparative ab-
slcntlon from criticism ot AmoJtans aa
& people , has been the enthusiastic fashion
In which the English press has treated the
visit of the Yale boys and ot the Doston
'Ancients. In fact , the reception of both
by the English pcoplu has left nothing to
bo desired , I am tnlJ that such public
civilities and what are accepted here as the
highest social honors extended to the Uostoii
visitors liavo not been conferred upon for
eigners within the memory of this gene
ration. The prlnco ot Wales has led In all
this. His tactful desire to nil ay any ani
mosity between the two peoples was first ,
nude evident In his letter to the World.
To this day Englishmen and women still
ipcalc with awe of that unprecedented act ,
and with glorification of the motive which
inspired It , The prlnco has exerted himself
this week In attentions to Americans to a
degree which surprises his own pcoplu. The
fact that ho not only reviewed the Ancient
and Honorablcs at his own private resi
dence but that he went down the line nil-
dressing some remark to nearly or pcrlmps
to every member , was , I am told , unparal
leled. It was to his Influence that his aged
and Infirm mother also personally received
the visitors at Windsor. At Thursday night's
banquet he conversed cordially with sev
eral members after coming down from
the table to a dais. It Is chron
icled of thn princess , too , that
at the Marlborough house reception
"uho expressed n wish to Inspect
the stars and stripes on the Massachusetts
Btandards , and when she went forward to
them she placed her hands on tlxlr ; folds
nnd touched them , It Ecomcd to their grat
ified bearers , caressingly. "
MORE POINTS FOR YALE.
W. B. Woodgato , the greatest of English
sculling experts , says , by the way , that
"Yale's piston action , unsupported by loin
nnd back-work , Is too much for flesh and
blood to maintain for more than four min
utes. As soon as the thigh tired the ma
chine began to run down until It came to
little moro than n paddling pace at the end
of five minutes. If the Yalcs come litre
again wo shall hold them In dread , for they
produce heavy and well-made men , who work
with marvelous precision , and who only
need to learn correct body work In order
to hold their own. The club Is fully alive
to the fallings of their homo style , and arc
not too proud to pick up points from op
ponents. " The Chronicle prints an ad-
mlrnblo poem , concluding with these lines :
The losers they was Ylle , which ain't Hlng-
llsh by n mile ,
An' tcr break my ornry customs I am loth ;
But when loners lose llko that any man
tikes orf 'la 'at
And busts Mmself with cheering' of 'em
both.
Tomorrow will be rowed the great cham
pionship sculling match for 1.000 ( $5,000) ) ,
between Harding Little , an Englishman , and
Btanbury , the Australian champion.
The World's Fashion Crypt furnishes the
following Items about Americans : The
young duke of Marlborough made his first
appearance as a driver of four-In-band nt
Thursday's meet. Ho was accompanied by
the duchess and by two of his sisters. The
duke drove bays , making up seven teams of
that color. The duchess was dressed In
white muslin.
Miss Collins Is In London , and dines every
evening with Mr. Chauncey Dcpew and his
family. The report of his engagement
gathers Btrength.
Genial little Marshal Wilder bas had an
unusual success In his London season this
year. Hla quaint fashion makes him the
most popular of American parlor entertain
ers. Having appeared before the prince of
Wales last Friday , he felt It was hardly
proper for him to accept an offer from the
Palace Musln Hall to appear there afterward.
Robert Hllllard will produce at Lord Fran
cis Hope's theater ( the Court ) , next Wednes
day , his dramltlzatlon of Harding Davis'
story , "Her First Appearance. " He will
ploy Von Bibber. May Yohe will not appear
In this Idyllic ploy.
Mrs. John Makay leaves for Switzerland
next week to meet the Princess Colona there
She has accepted no Invitation this winter.
Though not able to accept for the queen's
garden party In honor of the marriage of
Princess Maud , she has sent as a wedding
present a mother-of-pearl opera glass set
With rubles and diamonds.
Miss Van Wlrt Is to give a birthday party
to the daughter of Lady Lawrence on her
twenty-first anniversary.
MRS. WINANS' SWELL PARTY.
It Is computed that Mrs. Walter Wlnans
must have spent at least $5,000 on her party
yesterday. To begin with , there was the
Jacobl band , for which $1,260 was paid.
Holmann and Wolf played several solos , and
Downshlre House was made exquisitely
pretty with masses of pink roses In the
handsome hall , while In the refreshment
room the tables were a mass of all kinds
Of the costliest orchids , arranged In tall
pyramids with banging baskets and out-
etandlng spray , pale mauve and white and
brown and orance yellow. Besides many
English People of fashion , there were pres
ent Ambassador and Mrs. Bayard.
Mrs. Arthur Paget gave a large tea last
vrook In honor ot Miss Kussner , the Amer
ican miniature artist. Her miniatures of the
duchess of Marlborough , Mrs. Paget , Lady
Dudley , Lady Foe Stuart , Mrs. Balfour
and Mlsa M. Wilson were exhibited. The
duke of Marlborough has ordered two rep
licas of his wife's portrait. Miss Kussner
lias orders among many others from the
duchess of Sutherland. Portland and Dovon-
uhlro and from Mmo. Melba at JGOO each.
The English papers are commenting freely

LONDON , July 12. Out of the hurly-
burly of Chicago , on a high treble , comes
a note that has startled. Englishmen , That
note Is the policy of repudiation. They
perceive with amoretnent that tbo demo
cratic party , which has stood for English
ideas , eucli as the Income tax and tariff
for revenue only , U now pledged to what
the Economist bas pronounced "the most
predatory set of proposals for dealing with
the public currency ever set forth by a
body of public men. "
Englishmen are not enamored ot McKln-
leyvhose triumph they clearly forctcc
will Involve tariff legislation hostile to their
Interests , but they recognize In Bryan the
candidate of a demoralized party which
represents the principle that the debtor
shall pay his creditors 10 shillings on the
pound and demand a discharge In full.
Since the democracy Involves a flagrant
bleach ot the clrjitb commandment , English
opinion condemns It as a party of dishonesty
and Immorality , whose BUCCCES would be a
catastrophe. That U the tone of every Lon
don journal today. While England shud
ders when It hears the name of the respon
sible author of the McKluley tariff It re
calls from the election ot Bryan on a plat
form of repudiation as a. crlmo against
jiiextern civilization ,
Since American news la more fully re
ported In the London press than ever be
fore , the proceedings ot the Chicago con
vention have been rehearsed In detail , and
the American reputation for common sense
and sanity hu been Impaired , The nomina
tion of the demagogue who cried out
"against the cruclltxlon of mankind on a
ernes of gold" has Impressed the English
critics as a demented act of revolutionary
frenzy , and the convention accounts read
to them like scenes from Bedlam.
The effect of such recitals U moat damag
ing to America's prestige abroad. Investors
holding American bondi are frightened by
the revelations of deep-seated discontent
and unrest In many sections ot the union ,
and are anxloux to transfer their Invest
ments to other lines of securities , There
can be no market In Europe for American
securities until the battle for morality nnd
flnnnrlal honor Is fought and won.
That It wilt be won nearly alt the English
Journals agree In assuming to be a foregone
conclusion , but there arc ominous warnings
from the Spectator , A review not unfriendly
to the United States , that owing to the dis
tress and anxiety ot the farming classes the
populist-democracy may not be defeated , and
that , with the volcanic forces now In revolt
against property , an explosion which may
shake the republic to Its foundation Is not
Impossible ,
The democratic convention has deferred
Indefinitely the restoration of European con
fidence In the future ot the republic. The
American people arc now on trial on the
plain Issue ot morality and sanity , and noth
ing short of the election of McKlnley by an
overwhelming majority will convince Eng
land and Europe that the union Is not ex
posed to another secession movement ending
In nodal and political anarchy.
The sliver fanatics of America have com
pletely paralyzed the blmctalllst movement
In England and Germany. There has been
an Influential group of blmclalltsts In Eng
land , with a great following In Lancashire
and the agricultural counties , which has
been nctlvo for several years nnd steadily
gaining ground. Four or flvo members ot
the present government have been pro
nounce blmctalllsts , with Mr. Baltour ns
their lender.
In Germany the blmctalllst movement has
been strong and the Imperial government
ban only waited for encouragement from
England to Join are United States , France ,
and Italy In calling an International con
ference for settling upon a new ratio. These
natural allies ot the Amcrlran blmctalllsts
arc disarmed by the monometalllsts silver
movement of the democratic-populist party ,
revealed as a revolt of the debtor class
against the creditor class , with the repudia
tion of honest debts as the main motive. The
Chicago fanatics have discredited the blmet-
alllst cause throughout the world and Irre
trievably damaged It.

GREAT ARMIES OF THEWORLD

There Is a treasure of condensed Informa
tion In the "Notes on Organization , Arma
ment and Military Progress" just Issued by
the Military Information division of the
adjutant general's office at Washington.
The work Is most creditable to Its compil
ers , and Is ot public as well as professional
Interest.
In glancing along the list of countries re
viewed , says the New York Sun , the cyo
naturally rests , nt this time , upon Spain.
To this country Is ascribed a population of
17.GGO.OOO , with nn army strength proper , In
rank nnd fllo alone , ot 84,000 tor the year
1895-00. But this last docs not Include the
"guardla civil , " or gendarmerie , or the col
onial forces ; and according to the army list
for January of this year , the rank and flic ,
Including the guardla civil , etc. , numbered
113,051 ; the flrst reserve , all trained , 63,212 ;
the second reserve , of whom a little over
one-third have had military Instruction ,
548,234. This would give an aggregate of
724,997 trained and untrained , taking the
army and Its reserves. But an estlmato by
"a foreign staff officer" Is added , which puts
the total of trained men at 414,676. Includ
ing both reserves , with about 175,000 for un
trained men , "conrilclonalea. "
In any case It appears that the first reserve -
servo has been heavily drawn on for Cuba ,
because the Notes say that "over 100,000
men" were sent thither In 1895-96 , and
presumably the permanent forces wcro not
absolutely derived from the peninsula.
The normal strength of the permanent
army In the Island Is put at 981 officers
and 19,199 men , but volunteers and militia
are said to have Increased the total
strength to 59,000 , apart , from the heavy
forces sent from Spain. Finally , the total
"army of operations" In Cuba on Decem
ber 1 , 1895 , Is put at 92,413 , while about
March 1 , 1S96. Including perhaps 20,000
sent thither February 12 preceding , It was
about 118,730. It Is added that 4 or 5 per
cent may bo deducted tor losses.
Taking other countries alphabetically ,
the Austro-Hungarlan army is found to
have a grand total of 349,000 ofllccrs and
men on Its peace footing , while Its war
budget for 1895-96 was $56,100,000. Little
Belgium's budget for 1893 was $9,115,322 ,
while her available peace strength at a
recent date was estimated at 3,505 ofllccrs
and 48,648 men , with a mllltta ot 43,359
men. England , Including India , showed
recently 368,846 effectives of all ranks ,
while army reserves and militia brought
the establishment for 1895-96 up to SC5.-
421 , with effectives amounting to 810,853.
Her annual military budget Is put In
round numbers nt $89,000,000.
The war expenditure of Franco for 1895
Is put at $123,090,000 , and the total net
effectives ot her active army at 624,768.
Germany , according to this authority , has
the still heavier peace strength of 584,731
officers nnd men of all grades. Then comes
a great drop to Holland's home army of
21,500 men. However , the Netherlands also
possesses two colonial armies , the East
Indian and the West Indian , the former of
which numbers about 1,400 officers nnd
34,000 men. The war budget amounts In
round numbers to $9,132,000. The average
effective peace footing of Italy , as limited
by the budget for the year ending Juno
30 , 1895 , was 222,275 of all ranks , counting
employes. The full organic strength , how
ever , was about 276,000. Kussla heads the
list of enormous military establishments
with n peace footing of about 880,000 ot all
ranks , to which may be added 30,000 frontier
guards. Her budget for 1896 amounts to
nearly $230,000,000.
Switzerland furnishes an example of a
different , yet effective system. Tills small
republic , whose constitution prohibits a
standing army , adopts a military system
pure and simple , but carries Its military
training as far as that of some standing
armies. From the age of 10 until they
leave the primary schools all boys receive
gymnastic Instruction , which Includes drill
In the manual of arms. Then further gym
nastic Instruction Is given , until their
twentieth year , and there are also volun
tary cadet corps of schoolboys. Of the regu
lar military service first comes the elite ,
lasting from the completed twentieth
through the thirty-second year ; then the
landwchr , through the forty-fourth year ;
finally the landsturm , through the fiftieth
year. It also Including youths between 17
and 20 years of age. Last year there were
137,049 In the elite , 80,602 In the landwchr
and 270,363 In the landsturm , of whom , how
ever , only 61,224 were armed. This estab
lishment was kept up on a budget which for
1895-96 carried 22,769,529 francs.
Turning to countries on this side of the
water , we find that our neighbor , Mexico ,
has a regular army of about 23,000 officers
and men , Including the National Guard and
some auxiliaries and employes. The recruitIng -
Ing Is done partly by voluntary .enlistment ,
partly by conscription in the states , and
partly by sentencing criminals to army serv
ice. The budget for 1895-96 appropriated
$9,130,649.08 , reckoned In Mexican dollars.
Colombia's peace establishment was for
merly about 6,000 men , but It Is said that
this force has since probably been doubled.
The soldiers are all Indians , recruited by
Impressment.
The notes on small arms form a valuable
part of this work. One table , obviously
compiled with great euro from official data ,
gives the weights and dimensions ot the
various Infantry weapons. It shows in gen
eral that tbo smaller states , which have
but recently rearmed their troops , have very-
generally taken to decreased calibers. Thus1
Mexico , Brazil and Chill have the .276
Mauser , Holland , Sweden and Roumanla
the Mannllcher , .256 , and Norway the Krag-
Jorgensen , ,256. This last Is Interesting , as
wo have the Krag-Jorgensen , .30 for our
army. Spain has the .276 Mauser , and Italy
the .25 ? Parravlclno-Carcuno. Tbo smallest
caliber Is lu our navy , .236 Lee.
It Is suggested that , should these small
calibers show their superiority , countries
like Germany. Franco and Russia will have
to rearm with them in spite of the coat.
But voices from various quarters are heard
against further reduction. China In her last
war used mostly Hotchklsg .45 magazine
rifles , made by the Winchester Arms com
pany ; but there were various other rifles
employed , besldee old-tlmo wall pieces , pe-
tronels , tridents and arrows , Japan had her
.315 Murata magazine rifle , but It seems that
up to March 1 , 1895 , the single-leader .433
was In use.
The countries of South America have
shown tbemEJlves alive to modern small
arms , and statistics are given to show that
Brazil , Chill and Argentina are far better
provided with them than the United States ,
One Berlin company has delivered to Ar
gentina 150,000 Mauser rifles and 10,000 car
bines , while Krupp has delivered 300 field
pieces. Brazil has 145,000 small caliber
rifles , 5,000 carbines and 300 Krupp field
pieces. Chill bas , or will soon have. It Is
thought , 120,000 Mauser rifles , 10,000 car
bines and 2&0 field guns ,
Our northern neighbor , Canada , bas pur
chased of the British war office 40,000 Lee-
Enflold magazine rifles and 2,300 carbines ,
twenty-four 12-pounder guns , fifty Maxim
guua , with 6,600,000 rounds for the Utter
and 18,000,000 of rifle ammunition , etc. The
cost ot these and other Items was $2,000,000 ,
Turning to Europe , a new Austrian rifle
Is spoken of , of about .196 , or far smaller
than even our Lee navy rifle , but It Is not
yet adopted. In England enough magazine
rifles have been completed to arm the en
tire regular forces and also the mllltla.
Very full accounts are given of the com
parative trials of the Martini-Henry and the
Lee-Metford. Germany is said to be add
ing to her rifle a device to prevent the
danger of double feed. Holland bag armed
her troops , as has been noted , with the .266
Mannllcher. Italy presents a rifle Invented
by Captain Cel for which great claims are
made. Russia Is content , like ourselves ,
with a .30 rifle , hers being known as the
Monzln. Of course enormous sums will be
required for her supply. Turkey has re
cently ordered 200,000 Spanish Mausers of
calibre .301.
Specially interesting to us are Spain' * ex-
perlments with small nrms. She formerly
had the ,301 Mauser , but la credited now
with adopting the . Jd. The larger caliber ,
however , has been , sent In quantities to
Cuba. A few months ago a proposal was
made to transform lttitjncmlngtons | now In
use to the .276 calieei'Hbtit ' without maga
zine , thus giving uniform caliber throughout
the service , but the > Jectlon wan made that
too many of thomjhvcre service-worn. In
conclusion It Is saldthat "about forty bat
talions of Spanish Infantry of the nrmy ot
operation In Cuba Mawmccl with the Mau-
Bcr. Most ot the caTnlt - In Cuba Is armed
with the Mauser carbine. The battalions
which sailed for Cuba. In November , 1895 ,
were , however , nrmc3 Ith the Remington.
The Jast battalions sent1 to Cuba In Febru
ary. 1896 , were also armed with the Reming
ton. "
A list of service , revolvers nnd pistols
shows a general cljnging to calibers over
.40 with a correspondingly heavy bullet

ot the points Insisted upon Is that the bullet

NEW YOIUC , July 12. Henry Clews. hond
of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. ,
writes of the situation on Wall street :
following the "bcnr" nssnults ot the
nrst week of the month , Wnll street hn
fallen Into n Htixte of virtual Inertness. The
Into spcculntlve Hellers ficcm to luvc ox-
Imtmtcil their force ! tuid. on Ih3 other
liniul , buying on l onJpn account hr.-j ill-
mlnlshcd. The market Is thus left to drift ,
little affected by cither bad Inlluc-nres or
Kood. Outride of the disturbing polltloal
factors thuro Is the usual MUIIIIUCI nb * nec
of operators , many of w join have el' * * "
up their accounts until the i-roKivsa t-f,1'10 '
election canvass has tl.OkVii new llsnt
upon the prospect.
Tlio extraordinary excitement connected
with the Chicago convention hits lintl less
effect than tnlfiht have been uxpccU-d. It
lias been enough to surest sum > prove
thoughts to rellcctlng men ; hut It 1ms not
been regarded aa lending lo complicate or
ondangiT wound money prospers. Un
doubtedly It la no small mutter to see
such a large mass ot our peop.o given over
to the wildest conceptions and the most
passionate resolves upon utiostlony r.bout
which they have no rational < onccplcn !
and which most of them ire uiiablo to
understand. Hut It Is felt that this ex
aggerated excitement must Imvo ll-j ro-
aclion , and tliat It will tend to swell the
vote of thu sober majority , who hf vu no
sympathy with deimiKo&lc and tomtnunia-
tlc vagaries. The Chicago convention lias
plvcn the country to understiind that the
democratic party has now < > spoui > : d popu
lism among Its Issues. That v : haroly
expected to be the outcome ; but the plat
form Is nothing If not popill'Htle. ' Sober ,
Intelligent , order-loving people can now
understand what lies under Ihu pievalllng
discontent and the baseless sectionalism cf
the South and west ; and the fact that one
of the parties In the election will bo Iho
open abettors of revolutionary tendencies
will only tend to swell the overwhelming
majority that In November will show these
malcontent elements what Is their real
standing among the Amcrlca'n people.
RECEIVED AS A BLOW.
The spirit of the Chicago convention Is
an affront to every conservative and patri
otic sentiment In the heart of our pee
ple. It Is the sort of temper out of which
come lawlessness , conspiracy and revolu
tion. The classes whom the planks are
Intended to Inflame know nothing of the
real ends of their leaders. The more In-
naming and revolutionary the party pro
gram Is the better It suits the militant
mood Into which these unreflecting masses
have been worked. There Is no mistaking
the real tactics of the party leaders. Con
scious of the danger that their selllsh
scheme ofl making a homo market for
silver may be overwhelmingly voted down
at the election , they marshal a host of
Hide Issues out of which they may excite
popular discontent and awaken the mob
spirit and frighten the ordeilj- supporters
of sound money Into surrender. Their
game Is transparent and well understood
and excites no concern pmong the classes
against whom It Is directed. They stand
unmoved upon the foundation of common
sense and common honesty , which has
never failed to shield the country from the
shock of civil discontents. The more ojcii
the temptations or the threats of dema
gogic leaders , the more ready our people
have ever been to come to the resr.ue ; and
the spirit and the dictation of the Chicago
cu'entlon ! were Just tl.e Incentives iiunlcd
to rally the friends of American principles
end Institutions for overwhelming uofe.ise.
Hence tne public readily perceives that ; ie ;
d ucciatlc convention has made cei Klsi
luf election of the party ot sound mon-
and honest finance In November. In this
senSe the political situation Is both clearer
and safer today than It was a week ago
and confidence Is more solid.
The greenback craze twenty years ago had
many features In common with the silver
furor of the present day. It appealed to
the weak spotsiln human nature , and Its
crafty managers played upon the feelings
and prejudices of the working man and the
poor artisans and the skilled laborers par
ticularly , who arc very easily persuaded
that they nro greatly underpaid for their
services. The promises of abundance of
money and higher waires with employment
for everybody willing to work were the al
luring baits held out to every man who had
a vote. How the flat money was to bo got
Into circulation after It left the printing
press was a part of the subject too remote
for Inquiry , or was regarded as an Im
pertinent question presumably put by a
hard money crank. The Idea of something
for nothing always appeals forcibly to the
Imagination of those who have had to
struggle for every dollar they have ob
tained. \
AS TO FIAT MONEY.
So far as the flat money Is concerned , the
enterprise of the old greenbackers had some
points of superiority to that of the modern
silvcrltes. In the latter case It Is part
flat and part Intrinsic value ; and the solonn
of the modern sllverltes propose to create
an Inverted pyramid and expect the lower
part to sustain the entire weight of the top-
heavy structure. The scheme of the old
greenbacker was more scientific ; for 150
made the nation at large the Immense bAse
of his pyramid , leaving Illimitable space for
Its height even to the moon and the stars.
There are some Interesting points In the
parallel between the financial managers , the
men with "boodle" who ran the green
back Utopia , and those who nro now sup
plying the sinews of war for the promised
land of silver In prospect.
Peter Cooper was easy ot approach and
had a ready ear for every tale of woe
Upon this weakness the crafty tricksters ,
the needy agents who attended to his can
vass played with never-falling success. It
was pitiable to see , as an eye-witness of
some of those scones during the greenback
campaign has told me , the grand old man
being fleeced by those political harpies
through the relation of some story of dis
tress In the west , until the check was
forthcoming to relieve It.
Jones of Nevada , I am told. Is very simi
lar In his yielding propensities to Peter
Cooper , and will "give up" quite as easily ,
with this difference that ho may become
utterly oblivious afterward as to where It
has gone or to whom ho has given It.
It Is said that Silver King Stewart Is al
most of the same stripe OH his royal brother
Jones. I allude to these facts In no un
friendly spirit , but simply to show the en
ticing Held that Is open to these modern
adventurers In politics ; these parasites of
the silver kings whose great anxiety Is to
make use of the unlimited resources of
the millionaires for their selllsh purposes.
nut , seriously speaking , though the sil
ver movement has out n broader swath
than the greenback adventure , yet when the
wind gets out of It. after the convention , It
will be found that It has very little more of
the quality of durability In It than the older
scheme of Inflation.
The solid educational campaign tried the
old scheme and found It s-ul'y wanting. The
balloon collapsed long before November ,
1'J7i ( , and the scheming ndVenturers retired
Into private life , leaving their candidates In
the consomme. With the memory of a few
months' excitement and sod walllngs over
departed rash.
The historic nmilogv In finance and poll-
tics will , | n all probability , preserve Its
parallelism to th f-nd of the chapter. Me-
Klnley will undotlbtcd'y ' bo elected , In which
event the gold standard will bft maintained ,
our Inteinational credit will be sustained ,
our securities will find strong holders both
at home and abroad , panic will be averted
and a boom will bo Inaugurated , not only
In Wall street , but throughout our broad
land , with which no old time revival can
compare In point of prosperity.

NEW YORK , July 12. The stock market
stands sturdily superior to nil the nttacka
made on It , ' Attacks there continue to bo In
abundance. Still all the talent of the Stock
exchange Is on the bear side , and the
campaign to depress prices has back of It
aggressive-neon and ability. The moat adroit
manipulators In Wall street now , as they
have been for a long time past , are leagued
actively In endeavors to smash quotations.
Tlila week they have been more energetic
than ut any time hitherto. At the same
time they have become wary.
A. big short Interest > mn been accumu
lated , and Iho bear contingent has found
that Increasing the short Interest IB much
eitPlir than the putting down of prices.
Taking the closing figures of the stock
market at the end of business for the week
today changes are utmost uniformly upon
the side which shows betterment. Excep
tions to this are Isolated and Incense
quential.
The bear campaigners certainly have had
all the iwslHtunce that an anarchistic hub
bub at Chicago could produce. In Wall
street earnest efforts have been made
to hippodrome the Alteeld-Tlllman crazl-
ncss as Important , but tne rank and
fllo of the Investing community has
stayed sane and utterly refused to
be stampeded by the rampant Idiocies
crystallized In the national demo
cratic convention , So far as Investors In
the east are concerned , or at least so fur as
their concern reaches Wall street and la
reflectc-d In transactions here , the result
nt Chicago Is InslnnincntU nltoRpther.
The fact proven to bo Just n for weeks
past has been predicted In these dispatches ,
the Investment world Is convinced abso
lutely thnt the sound money principled nn
nounced nt St. Louis will win overwhelm
ingly.
It Is not any lonccr n matter of partisan
ship or Indeed of politics in any way what
ever. Yesterday on the Now York Stock
exchange there wns n scene In exldence of
this significant to the utmost degree. A
national flag was brought In by one of the
most conspicuous democratic bankers of
Wall street n man who , four yearn ago ,
WUH on the democratic electoral ticket of
this state. Not only wan It hailed with
cheers , but buslnpsfi being suspended the
banner went round and round the exchange
In n furore of excltbd applause , one Inci
dent of the Procession being thnt more than
a hundred democratic members of the ex
change fell Into line and pinned McKlnlcy
badges on their breasts.
This scene Is representative of the feeling
which pervades the whole eastern business
vorld , the entire Investing community of
the country. It Is not mere enthusiasm , It
Is calculating confidence.
It Is easy to find hero and there some
shnky soul worrying over the apprehension
that Bryan will sweep the country , but
such examples of uncoopcd lunacy am
easily lost In the crowding multitudes ot
rltlzctiB who realize that at last snprrtno
Issues' between honesty and dishonesty are
met citizens who are glad flnallv thnt the
light Is equal Hy nt the front , because they
are confident that In the United States to
make the fight for honesty Is to win It ,
When the innrchlntr of the stars and
stripes nrouml the exchange was over
the whole security maiket look n
wholesome spurt upward. There were ad
vances all through the list and tonight
predictions abound that we arc In for
a much Improved market beginning at the
opening of business on next Monday.
Under the circumstances , however , It Is
easy to IIP n trlfln too optimistic. The time
for n bull boom hardly Is nt hand yet. The
long national campaign ahead will not
proceed without an assortment of disturb
ing Incidents. There will bo days before
November when the cause of sound money
and honest politics will seem to be lagging.
There may even bo times when the tri
umph of the anarchistic ticket may seem
almost probable. Abundant reasons of a
professional Wall street sort will bo at
hand to make these disturbing appear
ances. The cleverest speculative manipu
lators on the Stock exchange will sec
profits In trying to demoralize the market
by creating such apprehensions. Inconsequential
quential factors again and again will be
exaggerated grossly for scarecrow pur
poses. Hut I do not believe that the tried
Investors who have withstood the wrecks
and sensational threats that have crowded
so continuously upon ono another within
the last three years will be panic stricken
newly within the next three or four
months.
Artful manipulators will try to make It
appear , of course , that Investors are llqul-
datlntr , but cm of til observers will not be
swindled by such representations.
During the gloomiest talcs which came
from Chicago this week London and Am
sterdam came Into this market and bought
American securities largely. The same
thing Is llki-ly to happen again whenever
similar foolish scares culminate. The people
ple of the United States have their record
established for doing the common sense
thing whenever crises como.
To buy stocks of well managed corpora
tions during professional Wall street
smashes has never yet failed to pay hand
some profits. Investments which can bo
had on concessions made In prices on ap
prehensions of approaching political calam
ity will bo investments with a minimum
of speculation In them. This iinay not bo
the time to load up with lines ot long
stocks. It certainly is not a time to make
sacrifices of securities already owned. It
Is a time when the Investor with courage
ought to take advantage of bargains that
speculators may offer In Carrying on n
game ot manipulation for demoralization.

CHICAGO , July 11. Wheat was helped
today by the Improved export demand. Bet
ter prices prevailed throughout , Septem
ber closing with nn advance- Uc. Corn
and oats showed decided Improvement nnd
closed about % c higher each. Provisions
advanced 12i c.
Wheat showed a little more life , the con
vention news being less of n disturbing
element. The opening was steady. The
government crop report showed a condition
of 75.6 tor winter wheat and 93.3 for spring
wheat , which reduced the percentage as
reported In Juno 2.3 for winter nnd B.G for
Hprlng and Indicated a total ctop of under
145000.000 bu. This , if anything , was en
couraging to tliu bulls and some advance
followed. Northwest receipts wcro again
free , us were local receipts of new wheat ,
and a reaction followed. Near the close the
reported engagement of thirty boat loads
of spring wheat for export gave the mar
ket an upward tone and the llrmncss was
maintained to the close. September opened
unchanged at fiom E5c to 55c , advanced
to CClic , declined to 55c and rallied ngntn
to DGc. where It closed.
Corn was helped throughout by the bet
ter feeling In wheat nnd the expectation
that lake rates would be reduced , following
the example of eastern rail routes. There
was good buying for both country and local
account. September opened unchanged at
2Cc , advanced steadily and closed nt 27V4c.
Oats were active. Crop reports from all
sections were unfavorable. The country
bought largely on that account. Shorts
also bought freely and prices ruled higher
.from the start. September opened un
changed nt 1594(1 und advanced to 15c ,
where it closed. Provisions were In better
demand. Better prices at the yards exer
cised a favorable tnllucnco and with mod
erate buying by shorts prices advanced
from the opening. September pork closed

MANCHKSTKH , July 12. There has been
practically no chance In the market dur
ing the week , It being quiet and very llrm.
Business was hindered moro by lontr en-
KauemcntH than by want of orders. Orders
were plentiful for China , India , Java , South
America and other smaller markets. The
limits were somewhat reduced , but wcro
generally returned for Improvement. The
KnclUh limited companies published very
eood quarterly returns. Continental spin
ners were more quiet. CJhul Ash watt rather
tabler. Ilouen wits very steady ,

LONDON , July 12. The Henley regatta
and the cricket mutches proved superior at
tractions last week , and the stock market
was neglected , the chief business being
rcnllrlnga on the evening of ucttlement. Uen-
erally the tendency wuu downward. Home
railways fell on the Impending coal strike.
Foreign securities and mines were druop-
Ing , The American market Is stagnated ,
The Chicago convention had little effect.
Luke Shore was down 3 and other American
securities all showed a fractional decline.

CATTLE Oinnha had only CGI cattle to
day , the usual light run for a Saturday ,
but that was moro than any other market
had. The most of the cnttlo here wcro
corn fed beeves , with n very slight sprink
ling1 of cow stuff nnd stock cattle.
The market was without any Important
feature , the cattle selling at about the
snmo figures as prevailed yestctdny , steady
to strong would pcrhnps best express the
situation. The demand was good and the
olterliiBS wcro all taken early In the day.
The general run of the cattle In respect to
tiuallty wns not overly good , and there was
nothing choice In the yards , the best prlco
of the day being $1.00.
Cows anil hclfctH nlso sold nt about
stoaily prices , no quotable clmngo In values
taking place. , The oncrlngs were all taken
In good season. As high as $3.00 nnd $3.70 X
wns paid for some corn fed steers nnd >
heifers.
There w-ero no feeders among the fresh
receipts of any consequence , and the mar
ket was as dull nnd quiet as usual on the
last day of the week.
HO S Today's receipts were very moderate and
the lightest of uny day since Monday , the rapid
bienk In values on Thursday ami Prlilay evi
dently tending to stop slilpmcntB. The market
opened Be nn < l In most cases lOc higher nnd
the trade soon became active nt the advance.
The pens were soon clearcil ami the market
closed sternly Ht the ndvnnca.
Aa high UH J3.20 wiia pnhl for choice Hunt , aa
against J3.10. the top > estenlay. A row rough
nml heavy lions sold down to J2.K2ltif2.S5 , but
the general run of the heavy and mixed loads
brought J2.90G2.95 , as compared to J2.SOS2.S5 yc - w
tenlay.
The past week has wltncfcod n rather un
even hog market , prices havliiR been up and
down. The lowest prlco of the season , with one
exception , was touched during tlie past week ,
and at the same time the highest price ulngo
Juno 18. The \\fp\t \ opened with the market
n little stronger than the pievlous week cloned ,
nnd on Wednesday the bulk of all the hoes sojit
above J3.00. That proved to be the turning
point , \nlucs going donn 15c In tlie next two
days. The advance at the close of the week
carried the market nearly back to whcie It wa
at the opening.
BHIJEP There were plenty of sheep here today ,
eight loads being reported in. The market wa
not materially changed. I
