For the first time meu'who all themselves Democrats publicly and openly declare that unless the Kit national convention does so and so, and does what they want it to do. they will repudiate its utterances, and either make a party of their own or fall in under the standards of the Republican party which they had been ighting all their lives, provided. that party act more tor-tbeir likioy- I on one issne which has for some time been engaging the attention of the nerican people. ; 1. . - loan interview recently Hon. WT- t Whitney, of New York, declared that unless the next national Demo cratic convention pronounced'-for "sound money," that is, declared it self in favor of the present monetary system, it would be split in. two, which means that the minority wilt wede, and run candidates of Its own. Mr. Wnitney is a very distinguished Democrat, was Secretary ' of the navy under Mr. Cleveland's first ad ministration, and has. been promt I "tly mentioned as a candidate for party in 1896. His utterances e therefore more than the utter ces of an ordinary individual, "and I M lIe more significant on account of Ms standing in the party. ' tol. Henry Watterson. of Louis j iflle, said recently that it depended in the Democrats themselves whether they carried Kentucky, at j nett election or not, Xof if they wopted a free silver datform there were 40,000 "sound money1' Demo- wts who would refuse to vote 'with the with the Reonbtican - nartv.

It was ' ex pected that at the end of theWhitsnn tide holidays the English spinners would appear la the Liverpool 4 market ' as buyers of large" qaantities of cotton: to meet their - daily consumption, bur in this the trade have been disappointed,' as their takings have shown a disposi tion to encroachnpon the freserve sup plies; with which they provided them selves with at lower - prices.l. it Is a well known fact . In the. market that, since cotton crossed 6 cents on the first ad-: Vance, that the ' disposition of ; spinners at home and abroad has been to with draw; from . the "market and fall back upon : hitr reset vesuppltes.Whether they will - persist in - this course is. of courses qaestion which will be decided entirely j on advices, received ijom: tne S; owing crop." At the "present, time ey are, led to believe that the decrease in the acreage will be between twelve And fifteen per cent.; that the condition of the crop u materially worse than last year; and points to a yield of between even and a half and eight miHioh bales. This is nndoubtedly the.trne position 01 affairs as the crop now appears;, but H must be borne in mind that, the amount i - - . : . 1 . S..J of cotton which has been carried over from last season's crop is between 1.000.- 960 and 100.000 bales in excess of the consumption and therefore if that quan tity oe added to the estimated -yieio 01 1895- 5-96, the production on a basis-of 7,-- 1.000 bales would be sufficient tor the 500, requirements of the spinners. - It is this view of the situation which spinners take; and which naturally,- causes them to . fait ; back upon their ' reserve supplies. - Without the 'assistance of : a ? legitimate .. :ilemand 7? for consumption." , speculation to it-: is.: dimcuit t. tor i maintain the' price : oi J cotton after such a sharp advance." and therefore we see some tendency toward a reaction; no one however.; anticipates aav material decline from the present basis of values in. the situation of the 'growing crop.: ' Therefore tbe market re mains without a short interest; and the fluctuations which occur and which have tended to sltehtl reduce the value of cotton have been entirely due to the dis posal of their holdings by those who pre ferred to await the receipt of further bad crop accounts rather than to hold their cotton during a period when it- seems likely to them that they : nfight have to withstand the pressure of the actual cot ton, in case the spinners- were not at tracted to the market by "reason of ad vices irom toe suuiu. .. . : v - On the other hand it is to be noted that . the large New. Orleans operators who have been so successful during the past year in forecasting an advance in the market are united in a body -on the lone side, and maintain their position with a tenacity which is worthy of suc cess, and which, if crop advices should now become of such a nature as to war rant a redaction in crop estimates to be low those now current, would be crowned with success. The situation at the mo ment is therefore a waiting One on both sides. The spinner is waiting for better crop advices, while the speculator is waitinn for ooorer crop reports which be believes will certainly be received-daring tbe month of July, as that is a period when the cotton croD is entering a de velopment which requires good weather, In short it may be said that there ist a slight diminution In the bullish feeling which has been current . for the past month, but only of such a character ' to look for a slight reaction from current prices and from which "there- will be a farther advance later on in the season. 1 Death of Ber.
