+ New YORK, March 12.-An improvement
took place in stocks this morning, which was
somewhat of a surprise even to many who
were on the long side. New York Central
started upward Immediately after the open
ing and was followed by Delaware & Laca-
wana, which rose from 1867 to 12S; the
grangers responded, and by midday the mar
ket was decidedly firm. Louisville & Nash
vile was well bought at about 4S, and is
spoken of as likely to do better. There was
steep advance in Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati & Indianapolis to 671a. Pullman
seemed dull at 1O9 New York Central
closed to-day at 4, Union Pacific fat. The
export Of gold amounted to $150,o00. The
feature of the last hour was rise in New
York Central to 21I-the first rates were
at 11S.
The following earnings for the first week
in March are just received: Northwestern
decreased $4,000; Canadian Pacific in
creased $4,000; Alton $4,000, and Northern
Pacific increased $4S, 900. Stocks were all
strong at the finish with indications of still
further improvement.
Henry Clews & Co., wired Schwartz &
Dupree: The market has had forced
strength to-day, led by New York Central
which was bid up to 121A, an advance of
AZ per cent. since yesterday. The large
number of sellers of sixties now watering are
said to be what manipulators in this stock
are cunning for and the advance is based
thereon. A sympathetic effect was naturally
produced ON the balance of the list, which
held strong front in consequence.
"Much hope is INDUCED in at the prospect
of favorable result to come from the meet
ing tomorrow of various representatives of
western roads, who convene for the purpose
of endeavoring to settle the long-existing
difficulties. Many moderate lines were bought
to-day by parties who anticipate favorable ac-
ton as an outcome of this gathering. The
business of the day was confined largely to
the professionals who apparently bought for
speculative quick turn. The tone at the
close was certainly of more encouraging
character than any previous exhibit for past
days. A good deal of manipulation OF the
market to-day suggested that Gould in his
cruise had reached some point of the COM
pass, where he could communicate freely
with New York by cable, the use of which he
is supposed to monopolize between the hours
of 10 and 3 O'Clock.

POSTOFFICE APPLICATIONS.
A Lively Time in the HOuse---OppOsed
TO Cutting down POstmasters'
Salaries.
Ispecial Telegram to the Glohe. !

WASHINGTON, March 12-Mr. Davis of
Illinois lead the Republicans to-day in a
gallant fight against the reduction of postal
appropriations proposed by the Democrats in
the bill ofwhich Mr.. Townshend has charge.
lie made telling speech this morning carry
ing his amendment to leave the salaries Of the
postmasters of the nine large cities as they
now are. The committee on appropria-
tions had proposed to reduce them to $4,000
each and Davis amendment was stubbornly re-
sisted by Mr.. Holman and Mr., Townshend
Davis was fighting for Chicgo and won by large
majority vote. Townshend says he will demand
a reconsideration vote when the bill comes mp in
the committee of the whole. Mr.. Holman Of
fered to except the New York office from the re
duction provided by the bill, but the Republicans
failed to take the bait. Mr.. Hoar said he could
not account for Holman's partiality to New
York, unless it was because it is the home of the
New York Sun, which has recently published
Mr.. Holman's picture.
Reed, of Maine, remarked that under these
circumstances something ought certainly be
done for New York. The nine postofices tha
will be benefited by Mr.. Davis amendment is
% per cent. of the postal business of the United
States and only receive about per cent of the
aggregate salaries paid the postmasters. Instead
of $1,000 each the postmasters at New York will
get, if this amendment finally prevails, $4,000,
the postmasters at Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
ST. Louis and Cincinnati, ST, 600 each, and at San
Francisco, Baltimore and Washington s., 1000
each.
Upon the item relating to the salaries of other
postmasters the two parties got into tangle that
resulted in a loss Of an hour and half over the
question of how much time should be allowed for
debate on it. Mr. Horr, representing the Repub-
licans, asked for forty minutes to debate the
ton and amendments. Mr.. Townshend was un-
willing to give them more tnan fifteen minutes.
The vote on limiting the time showed
that quorum had not voted, many of the Ret
publicans refusing to vote. Then there was q
call of the house and several roll calls and finally
the Democrats got a quorum and had things
their own way. The Democrats are getting into
better fighting trim for the battles that are to
come. An effort viii be made tomorrow to in
crease the appropriation for the free delivery
service.

CHICAGO, March 12.-The grain and provi-
sion markets were fairly active in the way Of
speculative trading for future delivery, and
while the feeling was nervous stronger un-
dercurrent was developed. Prices Of all arti-
cles aver; ged higher, and on the whole there
was more confidence shown on the part Of
bidders than during either of the preceding
days of tlP present week. There was, how
ever, persistent pounding of prices by the
tbig four' throughout the entire
session and the fact that closing fig
ures for all leading articles were at nearly
or quite top prices indicate that there was
more than ordinary confidence felt among
the general trade. The resistance which
that grain showed to the efforts to break i
was the more remarkable from the fact that
there were no united efforts on the part of
the bulls to sustain prices while the bears
were lead by their most determined chiefs,
