Tne Bank OF England gained 2197, 200 sterling on
balance to-day the London market for consols

change. This Is put forward a. in some sort cor

Premier Of England has earned his Punch dimin-
utive, and that ever since he wrote "Lothair" he
mas been--not to put too fine q point upon It
''weak" upon the subject OF Q pending great re-
iigtous struggle. The question is still an open
one, however, and how 1t is now regarded on the
other side may be better determined by the action
OF the Bank Of England at its next meeting.

STOCKS
were weak, with general decline In prices In the
carly dealings which showed decline Of u to az
per cent. Ohio and Mississippi led the downward
movement going on from "a to 21X per cent upon
large saes The principal dealings after this stock
were in Union Pacific, Western Union, Pacific
Mall Wabash and Lake Shore. The explanation Of
the break in Oht0s is thus given in an evening
paper 1.-THE decline in Ohios was caused by un-
favorable rumors, one being to the erect that the
company would default In It's next interest pay
ments. and another that the concern borrowed
the money to pay the last interest The next In
terest, we believe, is not due until October We
do not attach much importance to these rumors
as being the cause OF the decline. Ohios are
probably drifting into the same rut as
O., @. and l. @. and other kindred shares" In
quiry respecting the announced default on interest,"
payment failed to reach source OF positive inior-
nation. Poor's Manual, however gives the follow
ing information respecting the road and its
financial condition that may help to an under
standing OF the value OF the stock. The main line
is sos miles, with 80 miles OF branches:-

questioned, Is as folows:-

The investor and dealer In the stock can draw
his own conclusions from these figures.

and authorized the following denial: that

WASHINGTON.
TIE FINANCE QUESTION IN TIE HOUSE,
SI00, 100000 BILL PASSED.

| TIE FINANCE QUESTION IN TIE HOUSE
Si00,O0O,O00 BILL PASSED.
WASHINGTON, March 90.
Mr.. Dawes, chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means, in pursuance of no
tice given Friday, called up to day the
bill to fix the amount of legal-tender notes
at S400,O00,000 BY an arrangement
agreed upon in the Committee of WAYS and
Means, Mr.. Roberts, of New YORK, moved
an amendment striking out $500, ,U0O, 600
and inserting S3S2, 600, 900, the amount of
legal tenders outstanding at this time.
Mr.. Dawes moved as an amendment that
the sum "be fixed at 2[%.,56, 900, 900, and that
the Secretary of ne Treasury be directed
10 call III So much of the S44, 900, 900 as are
outsta -.ding as soon as the exigencies of the
.easury shall permit" The rules were
suspended by two-thirds proposition to
allow the bill and these amendments 70 be
considered.
Several gentlemen desired TO submit
amendments, none Of which were permitted
by Mr.. Dawes to be read consequently the
votes taken were confined to the bill, the
amendment of Mr.. Dawes, and the substi-
tute therefor presented by Mr.. Roberts.
No debate WAS in order except oy unan-
imous consent, which could not be obtain
ed and thus this, the most important bill
of the session, which was originally report
| ed by The Committee of Ways and Means,
with the announcement that the committee
were considering other provisions 20 be
submitted as amendments, was before the
| House for action.
The $3.50, ,000,000 aIeendment received
but 20 votes, with l72 against it. The vote
on the S3S2, 600, ,000 amendment was very
| slightly different. The amendments hav-
1 ing been thus overwhelmingly defeated,
the question required or the original bill.
Again, many gentlemen attempted to get
in amendments, and numerous parliament
ary questions were submitted to the Speak
er, but the previous question having been
ordered, and not having been exhausted,
shut them out, and the bill passed by vote
of los yeas to II nays. The bill was sent
to the Senate. The minority is mainly
the Pacific coast, New England, New Y York,
and few money-lending districts.
Secretary Richardson was upon the floor
for some time watching the current of
events, and seemed quite surprised at the
large and determined demonstration for
more currency. The action of to-day has
unquestionably strengthened tine imitation
lists in the Senate, and they now feel quite
confident that they can carry the House
bill without amendment.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their f;lmi-
ly physicians, one with dyspepsia, another
| with palpitatlon, another with trouble OF
the breast, another with pain here and
| there, and in this way they all present alike
to themselves and their easy-going and in
different dOctOrs, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which lie precribes his pills and
potlons, assuming them to be such, when
IN reality, they are all symptoms caused by
some uterine disorder; and while they are
thus only able perhaps to palliate tor a
time, they are Ignorant Of the cause, and
encourage their practice until large bills
are made, when the suffering patients are
no better in the end, but probably worse
for the delay, treatment, and other COM
plications made, and which proper medi-
cine directed to the cause would have en-
tirely removed, thereby instituting health
and comfort instead of prolonged misery.
