WAsuIxoroS, January 27.-It Is not
probable that the bill to create u tarifrcom.
mission will be reported from the Commit.
tse on Ways and Means until after the
Senate has taken action on the bill now
pending before 1t. The SUBJ Committee
appointed to consider the subject was to
have held a meeting this afternoon, but it
was postponed. 1t is now believed that
there will not be in the Ways and Means
Committee more than three votes against
the commission plant although there has
been much discussion pro and con, and
considerable eyidcnceot larger opposition
to the bill than is above indicated.
Congressman Randall said to-day that he
was in favor Of reducing the tax on all arti-
cles that contribute to the internal revenue.
He will advocate reduction Of the tax on
whisky to fifty cents a gallon, on beer sixty
cents barrel and on tobacco from sixteen
cents pound to eight cents pound, His
idea will be embodied in bill, which will
be introduced in the House at TN early
date.

CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, January 27.-Busincss the
past week has been fairly active in nearly
all the departments OF trade, although there
has been no special animation in any
quarter,
In the banks, while business has not
been heavy, there is strong feeling Of con-
fidence in a good spring trade. The tone
OF the money market is easier under q
good supply ofloanable funds, and slight
falling off in the demand. Still the rates
OF discount kept up to Q and Z per cent.
Eastern Exchange is strong Mt par buying
and 10 per cent premium selling.
Groceries fairly active, and in some lines
OF goods there is brisk business. In all
prices are well sustained.
Boots and shoes dull and not so active Us
u week ago, still there is encouragement
that orders will soon come in more freely.
The dry goods trade il in satisfactory
condition. Orders are not Overwhelming,
but are fully upto the expectation at this
time Of yeaI. Prices are well sustained, ex-
Cept that prints have not regained the de-
cline Of short time ago.
In grain there was an advance, particu-
larly wheat, which was not sustained. The
stock was increased nnder high prices until
drop was inevitable. Corn has been fairly
steady, though slight decline has come.
Oats steady and prices firm. Barley has
been dull, but holders are firm.

making the business Of the older ones less.

Saturday estimated) for the week were
S44,O00,0O0. Securities are pretty firm.
The general trade has been moderately
active considering the soft weather and
muddy condition Of the country roads.
Sales were mostly made through mail
orders.
Fuel is weak in price and tends to lower
rates as the chances OF colder weather slip
away. Int he two months OF winter there
have been barely half dozen wintry days.
This reacts on the ordinary business OF The
northwest which has fallen Off from ex.
pectations, though owing to the generally
satisfactory condition OF affairs It is larger
than the previous year.
The grain markets have been more
active than usual during the week owing
chiefly to the rumors OF exciting events ia
come, including Corners" and u general
boom or break, bid by strong syndicate
from abroad. Wheat tended to better
prices, but the advance during the week
was small, the closing prices being Of a
higher range, but not as high as the best
OF last week. Corn was erratiC and followed
its own course; sometimes higher, some.
times lower in proportion than wheat.
The closing prices were pretty firm. Oats
were very firm, and kept up well at the
Provisions showed good, steady
advance, but the closing was not outside
