A Tariff Bill.

NEw YOEk. February IA Wash
ington special to the Post says: The
tariff bill of Mr.. Morrison will be about
Is printed pages in length, the ordinary
size Of bill This is short tariff bill.
II is nearly completed, except as TO
some minor details. Columbus DelanO,
Of Ohio. who represents the Association
of Western WOOlgrOwers, has become
convinced that the bill will propose a re-
ductiOn ia the rate on wool. and in an
tlcipation OF this he expects TO call a
convention of wOolgrowers, to meet
here to use their influence with Con-
gress to prevent the adoption of such
recommendation. But there is pretty
good reason to believe that Morrison
will propose no reduction in rates on
wool. Ii Is almost certain, however,
that the bill will reduce the rates upon
carpet woods. MS these come into cOmpe'
titiOn with no wool grower in the coun-
try. Ii is probable that there will be no
opposition to this proposition, but it
will be welcomed by the carpet manu-
tacturers of Philadelphia and Lowell
with very bitter contest.
1t now seems probable that lumber
and salt and some OF the metallic ores
will be put on it. 1t is expected that a
large vote will be cast for free lumber
from the agricultural States, and West
ern cattle growers and packers will be in
earnest in favor of free salt.

Rradstreet,s Report.

Ngw YORK. February Especial tel
egrams to Bradstreet's repeat the Previ-
Gus weeks adyices respecting the I'M
favorable weather and more or less I'M
passable country roads, both of which
have had marked effect in depressing
trade. The feature reported Is that OF
= moderate improvement in business at
Norfolk, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Milwau-
kee, Kansas City and Dubuque. This is
not particularly significant, inasmuoh as
the gain at Cleveland is characterized as
O fair movement OF goods only, while
that at Pittsburg Goes not appear to be
any more pronounced. Kansas City fur
nshes the most emphatic statement as TO
better trade, with increasing activity.
Beyond these more favorable features,
the tirmness noticed in brown and
beached cotton goods at fractional
advance in prices calls for CON ment.
Concessions of higher wages by Eastern
mills are announced. Dry goods COM
mission houses report fair trade and
firm market. At Chicago there is an in
crease in the volume OF sales over those
at the corresponding period of last year.
Ii appears to be generally held, however,
that the spring trade will not open be-
fore March |. In the wool market there
is a continuance of tirmness OF holders
and steadiness in prices heretofore re-
ported, but no new features. Spot cot
ion at New Y Ork is of abOst I cent, and
the market generally is weak, owing TO
light demand, declining of exports and
resistance of Liverpool to domestic
views as TO prices. There is no change
in pig iron prices or demand. Old rails
are lower and less firm. Steel rails are
quoted lower and 81 below late extreme
high prices. Grocery staples are mac
tive, the movement of sugar, tea and
coffee being that Of last year. Prices
are unchanged. Dairy products NOM
inal, with the export movement checked.
Wheat has developed unexpected
strength in the face of the light decline
in visible supply. and an increase in
quality afOat or in Europe where de-
crease was expected. The condition Of
the winter sOwn crop has now become =
more active pTiCe-makiRg influence.
Late adYices point to some damage
done in southwestern winter wheat
States from OyernOws and other causes.
Definite reports are wanting. Indian
corn is strong, and the attempted
squeeze OF February shorts is attract
ing attention. Flour is moderately
steady only.

Silver bullion has advanced in the London market from A pence an ounce in July to 44s in October. The best opinion of financial writers is that silver has touched its lowest point. In 1872 silver was worth 60i pence in London and at 43 in July, nearly one third of it's value has dis appeared. It has recovered one fourth of the loss, but is still about one-ffth below the standard of equality with gold on the basis of 15.S8 to 1. There is general disposition now in gold circles to compromise with silver on a basis that will leave the latter the status of money within certain limit It is proposed, for example, to coin no gold in England below the sovereign, none in the Latin Union below the 25 franc piece, none in Germany be low 20 marks, and none in the United States below five dollars. This would employ about sI,0O0,00O,000 of sub sidiary coins, and the increased vol tune in circulation would naturally tend to an advance on prices. -Ex.
