fo far ai the Senatorial ' contest ia con
cerned. 'TW-fitoitHaWl! i f Cy Thompson
tor BwatorMiy h; Populist majority
caucus ast night was a bold stroke; Dr
Mott terms it a bombshell.
i The remark was made to your corres
pondent lust week by Dr. Mott that lc
very calculation of the Senatorial mat'
ter the Democrats always entered as an
important element. He spoke'' wisely.
. Today': Populists and Republicans art .
asking the question.: r Will the Dem
crats vote solidly for. Thompson ?". . The
.Democrats in the caucus : last weel
unanipiously voted to support any good
silver man named by the Populists. Tha
was a masterful stroke. Tho Democrat
hold the key to the situation. They art
the balance of power. - -
Republicans were today declaring thai
Some Democrats would not f ote foi
Thon(ou.Tlie Democrats when aske(
this, said no one had' the right p to make
'the assertion.'
The fight for supremacy between But
ler arid Pritcbard has almost reached iti
. highest 'point. The Republicans : wen
wrong to have Congressman Skinner at"
their Populist Coadjutor and worker.
They also erred in 'allowing the Popu
list bolters to bolt too soon. The , br 1
ought not, according to good politics, U
hare occurred until next - Monda)
evening. The Populists have had twe
days tOjwor,k on the 19 Populist bolters
and 6 W IWm have already 'returned to
the Populist caucus.. Two more will dc
so, lfcCaskey and Fagan.
It is said Representative Brower, Re
publican, will not Vote for Pritcbard foi
Beuat&r, but will vote for some prouounc
ed gold man. Brower has ail along hoped
the Seoatkrufc igtyning - would strike
aim. ? - 7 ;'

The Speaker of Bouse has appointed

Republic are! asserting today tha
it is Senator 'Butler's icariirst desire It
. have a dead lock in this Senatorial Dial
ter and prevent an election. They say
he and Cy. Thompson are both from the
east and that Thompson will in 1900
- overshow Butler, They also say that If

saanent ewl ail' Swieii of Republicans
and Populists, and; that Itbe DemocraU
will save about one-third of' the oSoea

Populists will abide firmly by the caucus
and vote for Thompson.

Nsw Yokx, January 15, 1N07.
Deak Sir: The market has declined
some from last week's prices; but not on
aceouut of any weak development in the
situation. At the close of last week the
price liad advanocd because the market
had taken on a hopeful aspect which en
liBted the sympathy of the ' locat- trade,
but wlieu these holders tried to realize
on Monday, the demand waa so limited
that great weakness followed, resulting
in a very disappointing market. Hince
then the prices have not changed nmtei t
We have heard reports that Kastern
ills would resort to short time in order
to curtail production as a method of re-
lucing present excessive stocks of goods
inch a condition would not materially
iffeot prlce.4, while foreign trade con
tinues so good. Receipts are now con-
liderel by far the most important
element affecting the futures of prices.
Between Neill's and two other recent
rop estimates, there ia such a wide dif
ference as to arouse unusual interest in
the outcome of this crop. The movement
this week is moderate. The large exports
continue and their effect is felt in higher
prices at the South, and in the reduction
if stocks at interior points.
Market closes at decline of VI to 1.1
points from last week's prices. March de
livery closes at 7.04,
