his certificate secured, may put out his sign and

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

FOR THE WEEK ENDING FEB. %.
There is very little change to report in the gem
eral merchandise market. Business is good and
prices well sustained. and all that is now need
ed to put trade in active operation is the removal of
distractions to transportation which have been the
great drawback for several weeks past Stocks are
greatly reduced in all the leading distributing cen
tres, and with fine weather and clear roads we
shall witness revival that will tax the capacity of
our producing agencies to their utmost limits There
has been an enormous consumption of goods in all
sections and with the general prosperity which pre-
walls, it is not unreasonable expect that the legt
innate demand for new supplies will be far ahead of
previous years. Stocks are light in Pork and Lard
and quotations show an advance Eggs are still on
the decline. Lemons have advanced soc. Sugars
are steady and unchanged. Potatoes continue ca
with some shipping demand; the schooner - G.
Knight is being loaded by j. 1. Libby for Philadel-
phia, and will take about 5000 bush, mostly Early
Rose. Grain is unsettled. There is an advance in
Morphine and Canary Seed. There are slight
changes in Turpentine, Ligonia and Lard Oils.

Fixing the Number of Representatives
Ra1nW 40


WASHINGTON, Feb. %. A caucus of Repub-
llcan members was held in the hall of the
House of Representatives this afternoon. Mr.
Frye, OF Maine, presided. The discussion was
opened by Mr.. Lappan of New York, who
made a stalwart speech, and counseled opposi-
ton to any apporliopment bill which would
disturb the relative strength of the two parties,
particularly any basis of apportionment by
which the Republican States of the North
would be affected disadvantageously. He
urged resistance to any proposition which
would fix the number of Representatives at
any figure below 49, He was followed by Mr.
Briggs of New Hampshire, and Mr.. Butter
worth OF Ohio, both in favor of the PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Haskell of Kansas, advocated 800 as the
most satisfactory number to the Western
States. but was willing to mpromise upon
319.
A resolution was finally adopted that the
Republicans refuse to vote for any apportion-
ment bill which fixes the number OF -Repr a.
sentatives at less than 319.

UPRIGHT PLANO.

The New Upright Pianos now manufactured by
this firm are instruments that really stand without
a rival. They are the result of totally novel i'm
provement, invented by the firm, whereby all the
finest points Of the celebrated Grand Pianos re re-
produced. The worst enemy of the piano is damp-
ness Numerous devices have been EMPLOYED to
counterfeit its baneful effects with but little success
II has been the good fortune of this firm, after
long experiment, to solve this enigma by substtu-
tanning centres. This is one of the greatest
Improvements in pianos made i'm this CEN
tmry. The new patent Upris hi Action of the
Chickeriug pianos is the only pis-o action
made i'm the world thai is insea.ible TO nt-

Deposits in Trust Companies.

We publish with great satisfaction in this
issue communication from one OF the
ablest finance lawyers in the state on the
subject of the liability to taxation OF de-
posits in trust companies. We commend
the communication to the careful perusal OF
all parties interested in the subject which
our correspondent ably and conclusively
discusses. We had supposed there was no
question as to the liability Of a depositor in
a trust company to treat his deposit as taxa
BILE property If the trust company did not
pay to the state the tax of one-half of one
per cent on its deposits but, being requested
to call attention to the matter, we included
a statement of the facts, as we supposed
they exist in our article on "Making out
the Inventories" We have the greater
pleasure in publishing "Depositor's letter
from the fact that our position on this sub
iect has been sharply disputed. We are re-
liably informed that the listers OF Orange
county have, with single dissenting vote,
decided to treat such deposits as taxable
property, and that Governor lIinckley, In
spector of Finance Dubois and Secretary of
State Nichols, who, from their official posi-
tons should be measurably familiar with
this subject, take similar view of the
question.
