Affairs on Wall Street.


New YORK, Feb. 5.-The Evening Post
says: ''The intimation to-day that Commits
sioner Fink had decided TO resign his posi-
ton seemed to have little effect on the trunk
line stocks. The various corporations began
to see that they must act differently and look
to their own interests and their own profits
and not depend so much upon pooling agree
ments. When it is fully recognized that
each road must fight its own battle without
taking shelter behind some prstext or pool
agreements, there will be less disposition to
begin wars on the rails. The Mail and Ex--
press Wall street report says: THE upward
movement in values on the stock exchange
made further progress to-day aud the deal

dence than at any previous time since the
opening Of the year. The number Of out
side buyers is steadily increasing Many
outsiders who formerly took An active part In

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The opposition and
dissatisfaction growing out of Secretary Nc
Culloch's recent whisky extension in bond
order has by no means abated aud the talk
still continues of passing a resolution con-
ming the action of the secretary, although
the chances are that this will not be done on
account Of the time which would be con-
sumrd in discussing it. Representative
Randall is among those who sssail Secretary
McCullOch for his action, and who expresses
regret that the session of congress is
so near its close. At the
recent meeting between Secretary
McCulloch and Mr.. Randall there
was considerable display of temper on the
part OF both gentlemen and very strong Ian
guage used. Mr.. Randall told the secretary
that the early expiration of the present con
gress was the only thing that saved him from
being impeached for his action on the whisky
matter, and that if there was time he IRAN
dalD would bring into the house articles of
impeachment and move for the appointment
Of a proper committee. The gentlemen
separated not in the most amiable mood to-
ward each other.
