ED SILVER BILL.

Cases.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.

The action taken by the Senate Fl
nance Committee on the silver bill to-
day. clearly fore~hsdows that 1t will he
reported TO morrow, with a econ
meniation for passage. and in a snaps
which. while ohvia,ing one Of the
most general criticisms on the House
measure. at the same lime will not
ALLEVIATE its supporters. One practical
effect of Ailisou's amendment, IL en-
acted, will he tn enable bullion holders
to sill their stock at metal for cash, in
stead OF awaiting the slow process Of
coin aye. and there is also reason to he
lieve that the assured purchase by the
Government of at least W million dol
lars worth of silver each month for an
unlimited future time. will soon enable
large producers n capitalists to con
troi The market sufficiently tn advance
the price of silver bullion. The amend
ment SEEMS to- be to the advantage of
mine owners, by reason also of the fact
that under its workings the silver
would GO directly into general circula-
ton from the hands at III Cover
ment, a. paid out for current ex penses
ETC., instead of beng perhaps shipped
tn Oriental countries, with the effsct of
lessening the demand for and he prce
of silver in the London market. sen

general opinion. however, is that the
Senate will notify the amendment
which has been made to-day 10y the
Finance Committee, and that the
House will also concur in it. No
doubt seems to he entertained that in
his shape it will certainly ecure the
Presidents approval.
