Senators Kellogg, Jones New Window
and Cameron Wis l. in favor OF the bill,
were paired with Senators Farley Williams,
Davis w. Val, and Jackson against. SEN
ator Brown was paired with Senator Sanders.
The bill provides for the appointment by
the President and confirmation by the Senate
of a commission OF seven persons, not more
than fonr OF whom shall be of the ssme
political party, to be advocates of prob bi-
ton, to hold office not excee ding two
years, who shall investigate the alcoholic
liquor traffic, lis relations to revenue and
taxation, and its general economic, criminal,
moral and scientific aspects in connection
with pauperIsm, crime, social vice, public
health and general welfare, and who shall
inquire to the principal results of license
and prohibitory legislation. The commits
siorers are to serve without salary, and re-
port within eighteen months after the passage
of the act. An appropriation of $4,000 is
made for their expenses.
A protracted struggle for precedence of
consideration of pending measures, in which
the respective merits of the tariff commission
bill, japanese Indemnity fund and the presi-
Dental count measures were detail ed at
length and occupied the remainder OF the day.
The charge by Senator Beck that the pro-
tecionists were seeking TO delay action on
the tariff, ard that the journals owned by
them had made avowals to this effect, was
met by counter charges.
The Chair ruled the discussion out of
order, as involving the merits of bills not
under consideration.
a motion TO proceed to the Japanese in
demnity fund was negatived-yeas, IA; nays,
33-and then the motion of Senator Bay ards
tariff bill was taken up and informally laid
aside as unfinished business for Monday.
Senator VOORHEES, introduced bill appro-
priating S125,000 for the improvement of
the Wabash river.

NEW YORK,
General Trade Fairly Acttve-The Out
look Satisfactory.


New YORK, March 10.-There is a steady
demand for staples at remunerative prices
and in general merchandise the volume OF
the spring trade, so far present indications
go, is likely to be satisfactory all around
with profitable results. The grain market at
the commencement of the week opened bare
ly steady, followed by a sudden break, which
invited into the market buyers for export,
but the recovery was so rapid that but little
was done in that line, and the market closed
strong at prices nearly equal to those of a
week ago. In lard and pork the market was
quiet until there came a sudden and unex-
pected rise i'll values, with rapid fluctuations
for day or 20 and the subsequent loss of
portion of the advance, the market closing
steady at something above week ago. In
cotton, with the exception of one good rise,
about Is to Is points, the market has been
steady and lacking animation. Estimators
now think that the crop of the present year
will be less than 100000 bales, and the bulk
of the estimates are now within a range of
$500, 900 to $500 900 bales. The iron trade
was dull in every department, and the de-
mand for American pig was very light.
Transactions in the market indicate
that buyers are only supplying immediate
wants. In Scotch pig trade has been insig-
nifcant and prices lower; rails inactive and
weak. The hardware trade continues fairly
satisfactory demand for foreign hardware,
and prices are strong and unchanged. The
spring trade in boots and shoes is opening
very lively and orders coming in in
goodly numbers Buyers are cautious, how
ever, and are not taking heavy lots till they
see how trade is going to shape. In coff,e
the demand is moderate yet, though
fair distributing trade is being done; prices
a shade frmer. In sugar no great amount
of business is being done and trade is wait
ing for commands from refners, who are do
ing a moderate business for the season. In
the finer grades of tea prices are firmer, but
for the lower kinds concessions are made TO
buyers. Trade anticipates better prices
soon and a steadier demand. The general
dry goods business is fairly active, and job
bers say domestic goods are in better d.
mand than last week. Transactions, while
not as large as expected, will yet reach a
nrnnd total

The Speaker laid before the House four
memorials from citizens of Utah. one from
1896 young ladies, one from 1905 young
men, one from $4,000 women, and one from
1888 men, for the suspension of further

affairs in that Territory,
Mr.. HiscOck, chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations, reported a joint resolu-
ton making an appropriation OF $4,000 to
be Immediately available to enable the
Lighthouse Board to meet the extraordinary
expenses consequent on the flood in the MIS-
sissippi river. Passed.
The House went into committee on the
private calendar.
The first bill on the calendar was one for
the relief Of Charles II. Cotrean, and gave
rise to some discussion, pending which the
committee rose informally, and the House
passed the Senate Joint resolution authoriz-
ing the secretary OF war to use government
vessels for the transportation and distribu-
ton of ratiOns furnished by the United States
to sufferers by the Mississippi overflow.
The committee then resumed its session.
Debate on the Choteau bill continued at
great length. The committee finally agreed
to report the bill to the House with the
Recommendation that it be recommitted TO
the Committee on Claims.
The committee rose, and few bills OF a
personal nature passed
A report was received from the secretary
of state touching the imprisonment in
Mexico of Thomas Shields and two other
American citizens. The report states that
the resolution OF the House calling for infor-
nation relative thereto was transmitted 10
Minister Morgan, who, it was alleged by
Shields, took no steps to procure their re-
lease, and the following telegram was re-

General Trade Fairly Satisfactory
Money Less Active.

General Trade Fairly satisfactory
Money Less Active.
ST. LOUIS March 10.-The weather has
been quite variable the past week and not
altogether favorable TO the transaction of
business. Trade, however, has been fair in
some branches, while in others considerable
dullness has been manifest. les expected,
however, that when the spring trade fairly
opens, about the middle of the month, there
will be a satisfactory activity at profitable
prices. The demand for money has fallen
off somewhat and the bank reserves have in
creased, causing an easier tone; but funds
are not plenty enough yet to reduce the rate,
which remains about steady at per cent
Collections are not quite satisfactory and
applications for renewal are frequent. New
orhiexchange is firmer at 50@75c premium
Cotton advanced during the week and sales
increased, closing with a strong feeling for
spots. Leaf tobacco offerings were mainly of
low qualities of new crop, which were not
specially wanted; in fact, the movement was
slow throughout with but little strength in
prices. Manufacturers are not expected to
do more than supply their actual wants
pending the agitation of the tax question,
therefore free operations are not looked for.
Groceries are fairly active. Refined sugars
advanced .c and New Orleans raw was
firm. Choice grades OF coffee were firm and
wanted. On Change business has been
generally slow. On Monday and Tuesday
wheat declined, with free sellers. On
Wednesday prices stifened up, and to-day
under favorable advices from othor markets
and European war rumors, there was sharp
advance and active trading. Corn ran in
sympathy with wheat, but neither the early
decline nor the later advance was as great as
on wheat, nor was the trading as large. Pro-
visions ruled very slow and business was coz
fined to iobbing trade, filling Southern or
ders which, for bacon, were quite numerous,
but in pork and dry sailed meats transac-
tions were yery few

CHICAGO TRADE.
wheat Active and Hfsher-COrn and
Oats in Fair Demand.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Wheat ruled active
and again higher, though the advance was
[ not 20 marked as on prev ious days. There
was strong feeling throughout, however,
with the Improvement most marked in June
and July delivery. Foreign advices gave
strength, and domestics were stronger. The
effect of yesterday action of the board of
directors in fixing the price of April wheat
Tor marginal purposes at 81 % is that the
seller may call upon the purchaser TO mar
gin down 10 per cent. below this price, that
Is down to 81 10; as compromising privi-
lege the buyer may compel the seller to
margin up to 10 per cent. above the current
price. Ii the price at the time the deal is
made is 81 3d. the seller may be required to
margin up to 81 43. The purpose, of course,
Is TO allow parties TO protect themselves and
their customers from rapid and unforeseen
fluctuations, which are always likely to &C.
cur when deal is in the condition of the
present April option.
Wheat opened 891c higher, advanced an
additional 14c for May, 24c for June and
July, receded trifle, and closed lie higher
for April, 1sc for May, 2sc for June and lie
for July than yesterdays latest figures. Such
irregular prices are seldom recorded. Sales
were made at 81 284@1 3O4 April, 81 146
| 163 July, 81 2St(91 242 May, ST 173@
l 20 June. On call the sales were heavy
aggregating 100000 bushels, and prices
were very strong; March sold up Be, April
&c, May 4c and June &c.
Corn was in fair speculative demand and
prices were }@5c higher, the improve
ment being well maintained. The move
ment small though sales were pretty
fair. The range was 59l@592c April, 635@
6ffc May, 634@64!c June. On call sales
were large, 100000 bushels, and prices a
little better.
Oats were very well sold up and cash ad-
vanced a cent while options were little
higher. Sales were made at 41@41Ac April,
435@144c May.
Pork was in fairly active condition, with
trading chiefly by spectators. Prices
ranged up 20(925c, and closed steady with
some reaction. Sales were made at $40 35(9
Is 40 April, $40 6O@16 S21 May.
Lard was active and, though offerings
were free, prices advanced 10@124c, closing
at medium rates. Sales were made at
$40 25@1O 40 April, $40 422@1O 573 May.
On call provisions advanced somewhat,
and lard was very lively. Sales 5000 tierces.

Money fn Active Demand and Light
Supply-GeneraI Business Quiet.

CINCINNATI, March 10.-There is no better
evidence OF a sluggish state of general bust
ness than the condition of the money
market. There is continued active demand
for money, with correspondingly light sup
ply, hence the rate of discount has gone up
as high as s per cent, though in some in
stances the rate is low as per cent;
this, however, is the exception. This strin-
gency arises largely from the difficulty OF
making collections from the country, and
hence discounts are required TO enable mer-
chants to carry these customers. Eastern
exchange is in active demand, buying at par
and selling at 1-20 premium. Dry goods
are without much animation, but prices
are well sustained, Groceries continue act
i've and prices are firm. Iron is less ami
mated, and some slight concessions in pig
iron have been made, owing to a falling
off in the demand. There is not, however,
much accumulation of stock. Manufactured
iron remains firm. In boots and shoes there
is not much improvement, though the pros
poets seem TO be some better. Whisky re-
mains steady, with fair demand, and no
fuctuation in prices In the grain market
there was considerable depression at the be-
ginning of the week, but both wheat and
corn have recovered from &c to SC per
bushel, and the week closes with strong
market for these grains Rye has declined
to 90c. Barley remains steady with tair
demand. Flour has declined materially, but
is irmer to-day. Provisions are much firmer
with an advancing tendency, holders are I'M
willing TO sell at the low prices which fol-
lowed the recent decline, and consequently
transactions are limited. Some dealers are
getting supplies from other markets, and thus
meet the demands of customers.

Money Firm and Higber-GeaeraI Busi-

NEW ORLEANS, March 10.-The money
market is working smoothly, and rates are
higher than usual at this season of the year.
Business in general throughout the city is
quiet, merchants not being disposed to sell
to the country in the present state of the
rivers. In cotton the week has wit
messed continuation OF activity in spot
trade; holders have realized further
advance of &c, the market closings trong, with
the weeks sales at 81, 200 bales. The export
movement has been liberal and large; the
excess of stocks at delivery ports and in
terror towns has nearly disappeared. In
futures, business has gone along very
quietly this week; there has been no
excitement, and fluctuations were light
until to-day, when there was consider
able improvement. The market closed
very firm at 16 to % points dearer than last
Friday. Sales for the week, 100000 bales
Sugar has ruled quiet, with a good local
demand. The crop prospects are good where
not affected by the overflow. The estimated
loss from the Point Coupee break is 10000
hogsheads. Molasses is firm, and stocks
firmly held at full rates. Rice continues
active, with scant supplies, and prices fully
lie higher

who didn't want to pay any Of the debt He
had wrestled with the question in great
agony, and if the compromise had gone a
cent higher there woul4 most surely have
been death in his family. He was willing
10 go halfway between nothing and one hun
bred 'Ehe name repudiator had no terrors
for him. The old obligations Of the reyOlu-
ton had all been repudiated. Mississippi
had repudiated years ago. He had some OF
the money Of his forefathers now. He liked
to look at it, but it was no good. He sup
ported the resolution because it was COM
promise" On the other side, Mr.. james
PheIan, high-tax Democrat, said: "a public
debt was a public honor. II the State
owed 500 it should be paid. He WAS not
like Colonel Gantt-he did not have to 90
higher and higher, but found himself CON-
PEELED to go lower and lower. When he
tired with the committee he felt embarrassed
to think that every shade of opinion was
represented there, and he had resolved that
it was no longer question Of principle, but
one OF expediency. The people had assem-
bled on question OF expediency rather than
able to settle the debt. The question then
was placed upon the shoulders OF the De-
mocracy. 1t would be impossible to get the
full amount of the debt, and he thought that
every man ought to concede some, and if they
could not pay the whole, why do the next
best thing and pay part" Here were two
extremes meeting upon the same platform,
and the bondholders must select between half
or nothing. Other Southern States have |
settled their Indebtedness by compromise, |
and why should it be considered dishonest |
Tor Tennessee to propose the same terms. If |
it was right in 1873 to settle at 50-4, why is |
It reputation 10 propose the same terms !
again? Such settlement would now be in |
lorsed by the people, as the low-tax Demo |
rats, whose vote defeated the proposition, |
rave signifed their willingness to vote for
he compromise which the bondholders
ayored three years ago.
