grades were in better demand, with the offerings
small and market frmer at slight advance. Fat

Arrivals OF hogs were $500, against Il, 500 one
week ago and 10000 less than for the same time
last week. The demand was improved, shippers
buying fairly and the competition between buyers
forced prices up. Skips and light sold at $3.50

Shepard g. Peacock, say: ''There is no doubt
that considerable lines of wheat have been
bought by brokers who usually trade for Armour,
but the most prominent shorts do not appear to
run well, and aside from the few prominent
shorts associated with the ''big two, the market
is well evened up, which makes it so much the
more difficult to bull. The clique are evidently
holding their pork and ribs, confidently relying
on natural advance bye and bye"
Milmine, Bodman & Co. say ''We think it not
impossible that the shortage in the wheat mar
ket here is now large enough to cover some
temporary advance, but see nothing more than
this in the market now. The reports Of the
growing crop from the south and west to-day are
quiet and we think they will continue to show
well.'
Grossly & Co. There is no particular character
to the trading and the rally does not represent
any change in the situation and values are so
low that the trade is nervous under Csc and
whenever the market acts stubborn on decline
shorts are inclined to cover. Their nervousness
was increased to-day by the circulation Of ru-
mors of deal, ETC., OF which
have any foundation in the trading so far as we
can read it, but the bulls are so generally sus-
tanned by diet at that, that they see spectre Of
Armour in every buying order on the floor.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 2O.-At the meetin :

ReSolUed That the Democratic state commit

threatening the Democratic party in the country
upon the tariff and feel at liberty to express their

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


NEW YORK, March 20.-The granger stocks
opened strong under the peaceful settlement of
yesterday. The low priced stocks seemed to do
better and looked as if they might be moved up
among the fancys. Maxwell and Graves were
bulling Indiana, Bloomington & Western, and re-
ports were very busy predicting 30 for 1t. AT
the same time Vanderbilt brokers were talking
very bullish on Nickel Plate bonds. At an ad
vance of u in st. Paul and q in Northwestern,
these stocks began to drag and the bears COM
menced operations against Union Pacific,
showing strong determination and q great
deal of bitterness. From this time, until
the close the market was feverish and
hesitating without any material concession
and with little encouragement to the bulls. The
prospect for an amicabe adjustment of the diff
ferences between UnionPacifc and Chicago, Bur
lington 6 Quincy is very favorable. Jamison,
Smith and Getting were quietly buying Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy during the afternoon. Con-
solidated Pacific was strong without any quota
ton. A new loan has been placed to its credit
to be drawn against as work progresses. During
the afternoon Philadelphia was low buyer Of
Northern Pacific. The market closed with the
Northern Pacific stocks the main feature. Rail
road bonds were very active and in better de-
mand than for two years past. Only $500, 900
gold was shipped to Europe to-day.
Henry Clews & Co. wire Schwartz & Dupee,
Chicago: The virtual settlement of the Western
Trunk Line railroad difficulties, which informa-
ton was Immediately proclaimed by the press,
impaired increased confidence to the market, and
created more general active trading than has
been witnessed for some time past. A favorable
change from the state of inactivity of the past
week was hailed at the exchange with satisfaction,
and created the hope of better things which are
now likely. We recommend buying active stocks
on weak spots, hereafter, which, in our iudg-
ment will admit of fair returns for such ventures
Low priced stocks which have been so inanimate,
such as Northern Pacific common, Texas and
Pacific Mail, Missouri, Kansas s. Texas, have the
appearance of mounting upwards.

representatives from the health boards in all

THE MEXICAN PENSION BILL.
Republican Representatives Decide to
Try to Get ii ThrnnaI the Enuaa

Try to Get it Through the House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IO.-At a caucus of the
Republican members OF the House of Repre-
sentatives tonight the following resolution
was unanimously agreed to:
ReSOJCed, That the bill known as the Mexi-
can pension bill as amended by the Senate is
entitled to our hearty and active support. and
that we will use any and every effort to have
said bill considered and passed at the earliest
possible day.
1t was also decided that all practicable Par
liamentary means should be employed to
bring the bill before the House for final ac-
ton. 1t was represented that because of the
rulings made by Speaker Carlisle when the
bill was under discussion at the last ses-
sion of Congress, it would be exceedingly
difficult to reach this measure,
but it was hoped that the difficulties
might be overcome. As a consequence of
these rulings portion of the bin is on the
Speakers table, and a portion in com =
mittee of the whole on the state of the Union.
EX-Speaker Keifer, Representative Can
non, and other prominent parliamentarians
among the Republican members. were
directed by the caucus to endeaVOr to devise
methods of relieving the bill from its en-
barrassments.
The 40 Republican members of the House
who met in caucus tonight all agreed to sup
port it and all the Senate amendments, but
they also agreed to support motion to send
the bill now on the Speakers table to the
calendar. This motion would. if carried, kill
the bill, for it would place it at the foot of the
calendar with l25 bills ahead of it. OF course
it could not be reached. therefore it NAV be
inferred that the bill has few sincere friends
on the Republican side of the House. The
Democrats propose to pass 1t if Mr.. Towns
hend, who has charge OF it, thinks he can get
it through. 1t is House bill with Senate
amendments.

TARIFF REFORM TO BEPUT OFF
Legislation at This Session Daily Be-
come More and More Improbable.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lott becomes more
and more probable that there will be no tariff
legislation this session other than that in
yolVed in the possible ratification and execu-
ton of the Spanish and the Mexican recipro-
city treaties. This is not because Messrs.
Carlisle, Morrison and the other revenue re-
formers do not desire such legislation as
would reduce the tariff, nor that they ignore
the advantages given them by the recOmmen-
datlOnS OF the President and the Secretary of
the Treasury, but because MANY Of them see
that 1t Is practically impossible to put q tariff
law on the statute books at this
be gained by another unsuccessful attempt at
legislation. Messrs. Hurd and Hewitt and
others do not hold these views. They think
that something might be DONE and that
!t Is wrong not to make the attempt. Yester-
day Messrs. Hewitt and Hurd tried to get the
ways and Means Committee to report Mr.
Hewltts tariff bill to the House. The COM
mlttee refused. Mr.. Hewitt offered to make
any amendments that could be termed rea-
sonable which might be suggested, but the
committeeman were Obdurate. The Republi-
cans did not want report at all. The
at this time. There the tariff question rests
so lar as the Ways and Means Committee is
concerned. The fact is that the disposition
among the revenue refOTmers is rather in
laV0r OF waiting to see what the Senate does
with the spanish treaty and what the House
does with the Mexican reciprocity bill before
any further action is taken in regard to the
tarln. The chances are that no formal con-
ference OF the revenue refOrmers will be held
for some time. 1t is now believed by the men
possessing the best information in both houses
that the Mexican treaty reciprocity bill will
be passed by the House, whereas the Spanish
treaty Will not be ratified at this session by
the Senate.

THE ''TINIEs'" STATEMENT CRITICISED.
sHEKMAN's ATTACK ON DAVIS.
The Charges Made Before Frank Blair
Post Virtually Admittad


ST. LOUIS, Dec. l0.-Gen. Sherman this
evening, in reply to a question by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press as
to whether or not he intended to reply to the
letter of jefferson Davis, recently published
in this city, said that he might do so at some
future time, but that he should consult his
own convenience, that Mr.. Davis had not ad-
dressed him, but the st. Louis Republican,
and that if he made any
reply it could only be through the War
Department. He further said that he did not
suppose that any reporter was at the meeting
of the Frank Blair Post on the night he spoke
as the Grand Army Is an organization only
for the social interchange of personal memo
ries. Still he admitted that the reports pub
lished contained much of the truth, but not
all. He has most of his Louisiana papers, he
said, to make good his assertion that the civil
war was forced upon the people of Louisiana
by conspirators in Washington, and that dur
ing the progress of the war Mr.. DAVIS changed
his views of the doctrine of secession, and
threatened to use force in case any State of
the Confederacy should attempt what was
then known as separate State action" Gen.
sherman has already sent to Washington
some letters and papers bearing on the case,
but as to their publication he stated that the
authorities there must be consulted.
