BARNES FOR ATTORNEY James Brizzolara Gets Fort Smith Post Office. 6TCTTGART pLM IN ABEYANCE The Republican state executive committee was In session at Gleason's hotel until 12:30 o'clock last the result of the committee's deliberations tbe, following irccommendatloas were made to the president: United State' district attorney, West-, rn district of Arkansas, Jas. K. Barnes.

i Post waster of fort Smith, Janie Brlzzotara. Postmaster of Pine Bluff, Louis Alt-helrner. Postmaster of H. Gib We, The committee decided to refer the Stuttgart poettttasterehip to a primary election. 5' There Was a -content ot each of the plums awarded, lut in nearly every Instance the expected happened.

Although Ferd Havls (colored) had been relndors-ed by the RejHiSllean county central commltjee of Jefferson county for the Pine Bluff postofllce, his name was not presented for consideration anew at the committee's bands. Louis Althelmer, iwho wtll get the plum, was strongly Indorsed by Democrats. A recommendation by the committee Is all that is necessary to secure the favor of the administration, at Washington. A LONG LOOK AHEAD. The politicians, are even now beginning to weigh the possibilities Involved In the next presidential election.

The papers are full of electioneering gossip and venture predictions as to the future which ire; somewhat too self-confident.

THE WEEK'S TRADE. BradatreH'a Wwiktr fterlaw.

New York, April reefs weekly review tomorrow will says There has been some disposition apparent of late to attribute considerable more to the fear of impending hostilities than seeona proper. Reports have peeft given In the press of a large volume of cancellations ia different lines of trade, all duo; it ia claimed, to the fear of strained relations. Special and widespread fails to show anything like the reported volume of cancellations in the different lines of trade at' various Cities, with the sole exception of the woolen goods industry. These cancellations come chiefly from wholesale clothing manufacturers, and the percentage Is given as 50 to 75 per cent. A number of mills, are said to have shut down, and ibe evil of overstocking is thought to have been largely averted.

Careful Inquiry would Indicate that fully 60 per cent of the cancellations have beer due to clothing houses giving larger orders than they really requited. i Trade an I New York, April 23--Bradsf reefs tomorrow will say: General trade and speculation this week have exhibited most of the characteristics which have become popularly associated with the approach of hostilities, but th conditions are, being shape4 to the new order of things. There Is increased activity in many special jjnM at tiie gea. board accompanied by excited markets and heavy price advances, but the prospect of war hag not nearly as much ef-feet as expected. Commercial news this week shows much Interest and has been manipulated In the speculative and leading demand for staples, such as Wheat corn, oats, flour, coffee, Lmess pork, products and cotton.

A reflection of this active demand, which had its rise so far as wlwat and cotton are concerned, among foreign -buyers, who wish to anticipate any possible Interruption of supplies Is found In thVmove-ment of prices which for the flcst time for many weeks past shows a general upward tendency. The advances in coffee, sugar and rice ore dlrectlv tracea ble to war Influences, marking a de sire ny domestic Buyers to protect themselves against any possible interruption of supplies or the anticipated levying, of taxation to meet the Increased outlays. i i 1'iiielll 1 New York, April 22.
