The American treasury, which is the ul-
innate holder of the American reserve,

the last three days inconceivably large
purchases we're made through brokers.
Capitalists bought great blocks OF Amerl-
can stocks, and innumerable small mves-
tors made limited purchases. Other
securities were somewhat depressed, be-
cause SO many people were anxious to
realize in order to exchange for Amerl-
cant SOCKS.

good prospect of overhauling the desper-

New York, May 1S-Ex-Secretary
Benjamin H. Bristow, now practlclng law
in this city, said to-day:
It seems to me that the republican
party all over the country has been act
ing with strange inconsistency. This IS
the first time in our history that the ad'
ministration of vice-president, called to
fill the executive chair, has been compll-
mented and endorsed by the eunited voice
of his party, and can't understand the
sophistry by which hearty nomination
is denied. In my Judgment Arthur has
displayed the very sort OF executive tai
ent the country now needs, and this con-
sists chiefly in having the practical COM
mon sense to let we'll enough alone. The
business men of this city are universally
t for Arthur. 1t looks now as if the leaders
would be killed off by the third ballot,
and some dark horse carry off the prize
[ don't mean some obscure man whose
name is scarcely ever heard in public
for the situation points to and demands
a nominee with we'll known name, but
%. too well established reputation on
liz ''aaues. predict that this more
national L.. '--k horse will not be sc

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-It is the D..

cratic side of the house to adjourn some
time the last Of June, or by the 1st Of
July at the latest. Speaker Carlisle says
SO far as he is concerned congress shall
not be in session later than the 1st of
July. 1t is the determination of the
democratic side to attend to the legiti-
mate and regular business of the session,
and adjourn several days before the dem
ocratic national convention. To do this,
much Of the business mapped out for the
session will have to be abandoned. This
