IT is understood in Washington that
no radical changes will be recommended in
the forthcoming report of the Tariff Com
mission. The abandonment of compound
duties, 1. e., ad valorem rates combined with
specific rates, will be urged, and it is also
probable that important changes in Custom
House regulations as to clearances, consular
invoices. duties or charges, and such mat
tiers, will be suggested. No change will be
made in the duties on Chinaware. The re-
importation duty on quinine will not be adj
yised. The duty on raw wool will remain
practically as at present. The action of the
Cresson Convention, OF persons engaged in
the steel and iron business, in favor of in
creasing rates Of duty on iron ore, and on
iron aud steel in their various stages, will
hardly be Endorsed by the Commission.

The stock sharps are elated and rub
their hands in glee. Those who have been
frozen out by the long line Of assessments
are cursing their luck, while the timid
romancer thinks be has missed q fortune
by not having bought them when they
were Glow" There was hardly anything
talked of yesterday IN the streets but
stocks. 1t seemed like old times to hear
the familiar terms, "She's a booming"
GA good buy all along tho line" It's a
deal, sure" etc. But those who deal, or
have dealt, in stocks are persons of san.
guine temperament. They see a deal in
every fluctuation, and grow wild over a
dollar rise. While the market is showing
symptoms of recovery from the general
~stagnation, there is no news from the
Comstock to justify a marked advance.
The present activity may be merely a
movement to create confidence in order
that shareholders will pay the pending
assessments. Yet the upward course Of
the market for the past three days has
been general, from Utah on the north to
Overman on the south. The rise has been
gradual and well sustained throughout.
Stocks that sold for 20 cents a share last
Saturday sold for rs cents and a dollar

yanced rates.
