for a change, land some local operators, who feel
very bearish, took the hint and made great
efforts to break wheat prices, and, at the open
ing, it looked very blue for the bulls, but every
time break was established all the offerings
were taken, and away up prices went again.
1t appears to me very clear that we are at such
a low point that any decline brings money to
60 under the stuffs The old opinion that to
buy under one dollar and stick to it will never
bring loss is bound to hold good.
Corn-It is said that the agricultural bureau
makes out the Western States over loo, ,000, 900
bushels short, Southern and Eastern States,
better crops, making the crop only 10000, 900
bushels short of last year, but the shortage is
in the. corn district.
Provisions-Very steady and rather better
tone. There were but limited number of
outside orders in to-day, and most people
seemed to be kind of high mixed The re-
suit was rather small trading. May be the
holiday carousing is having its effect now,
as people get sObered down. Our markets are
now of a holiday character and scalping is the
word Whosoever understands that business
please step forward and let lis see the con-
tents of your pockets and we will play game
of bluff with you.

more importance than the funding bill or an.
othermeasure before Congress.

Mr.. Frye inquired whether the Interstate
commerce bill would gain advantage by being
taken up to-day.
The Speaker-It will be unfinished business
tomorrow.
Mr.. Frye-Will it take precedence of the
funding bill.

was in committee of the whole, and that a

preference at any time to motion to go to
the House calendar. The Interstate COM
merce bill was finally reached and taken up
for consideration

visions He had offered substitute to be

the matter in shape for debate. He proposed
to explain the provisions of his substitute,
and he would then call the previous question
on the adoption of that substitute.
Mr.. Regan then explained the provisions of
his substitute at some length, at the end of

that when it next came up one or two days

troupe, organized here last September, aban-
doned the company a short time since at st.

him Louise Lester, prima donna of the troupe

The article says: Nathal sold $50 worth of
music, which belonged to the Pickwick
theater here, and also spirited away the libretto
of Planquiths opera, Les Voltigeuro, which
had been translated for production at the Home

relating to the retirement of army officers.

quested him to proceed with the appropriation
bills. The House then went into committee
of the whole, Mr. Harris, of Virginia, in the
chair, on the army appropriation bill. The
bill was read by sections for amendment.
Mr.. Warner offered an amendment providing
that no officer on active duty in the field shall
be retired without his consent. Mr.. Warner
stated that he was induced to offer that amend
ment in view of the late retirement of q dis
tinguished and grand officer who had been in
service in lhe field ever since the close of the
war; His retirement had been made, not on
purely military considerations, but on political
considerations. He believed it due to Gen.
Ord, the officer to whom he
referred, that the country should understand
that his retirement in place of Geu. Mcdowell,
wasn't under the circumstances in harmony
with the merits of the two officers He, Warner,
had heard rumor that Gen. Mcdowell had
drawn his mileage for going to New York
to vote, and he inquired whether
this bill contained an appropriation for the
payment of that mileage.
Mr.. Cleymer replied mileage had been pro-
vided for in the appropriation bill for the cur
rent year.
Mr.. Kiefer-Does the gentleman state as a
fact that Gen. Mcdowell did draw mileage?

all meetings were proclaimed, he said tn
branches of the leagues would be summoned

which would remain would inevitably point il
the direction of illegal means. If the habeat
corpus were suspended he was firmly convinced
that violence and outrage would usurp the
influence of the league.

Besides these frst.class bills there will be bills
