NEW York, jan. 81.
Tho general sentiment i'll financial
circles in anticipation Of the passage
of Blnnd's bill despite the veto. is ex-
pressed by ihe Tribune in an article
showing that gold goes up and silver
down because that measure will drive
gold out Of the country, but insures the
reconciliation OF silver without adding
materially to its use here; paper will
become q promise to pay silver. and will
exclude silver from use. The silver
will fall, and paper will sink below 1t in
value, rs the promise surely falls be-
hind the thing promised. II must be
plain to every man who knows how
business is done, and where active cap
ital is found TO conduct it. that the
pending bill, il passed, will cause :
time Of frightful disaster unless bust.

Time, London special z 4. II. 3lst.
The situation does not tighten my.
this morning. The secresy concerning
the delay in concluding an armistice
still continues. There are singular
contradiction in official and semi-oficial
statements; one from the Porte is TINT
the Turkish Enjoys accepted terms and
concluded peace eight days ago. since
which time nothing official has been
heard from them.
Another is from Russia, and is semi.
official. that everything is all right,
hut that there has been delay in trans
mission Of results. Something il
wrong; oue explanation is that u secret
understanding exists between the Porte
aud Russia, aud that the %uounc
ment Of an arnistice is being delayed
to allow Russia to complete her mill
tary preparations necessary to carry
the agreement into effect.
There has been large and swift con-
centration OF troops south Of tho Bal.
