From Wall Street Today.

New YORK, Feb. l0.-The stock market this
morning, though narrow, was active and wider.
The opening prices as compared with the final
figures of Saturday were from Is to y per cent
lower, and further losses were sustained over
the entire list in the early dealings. Rock
Island and sugar again became the weak
features, each losing IL, though the drop in
sugar was sudden. while in Rock Island the
downward movement was slower and followed
by no reaction OF importance. Sugar recovered
from 5912 to 601s but failed to hold all of the
rally. Heading was also very active. but
fuctuated within the same narrow limits as
the remainder of the list, In which the range of
prices was generally about "a per cent Col
orado coal was inclined to advance in the first
few minutes, but gave way later. The market
was less active toward the end of the hour and
small fractions under the opening prices.

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
What Congress Will Do After Adopting
the New Rules.

1t is expected now that this will be a short,
sharp session. The liberality of the new rules,
which give promise Of promt action on all
measures reported, has excited to great ac-
tivity all the people who are seeking special
legislation, whether for claims, pensions or
what not. The friends Of every one of the six
thousand bills that have been introduced
are encouraged by the hope that fair consid-
Grafton will be accorded the measures. OF
course many Of the bills proposed, if passed,
would greatly reduce the surplus in the treas
ury. While it is the purpose of the majority
to dispose of proper legislation and do justice
to those who have right to demand legisla-
ton. it is not to the party interest to let the
appropriations mount up too high in one year.
In order to prevent excessive appropriations
1t Is proposed to set all the important measures
well advanced ahead of the great mass of
matter, and when they are disposed Of to Sc
cure an early adjournment.
The committee on appropriations have been
working hard to get their bills out of the way.
and they believe that it will not be their fault
II a final adjournment is not had by the 10th of
june The subcommittee on the pension bill
has practically finished with the bill, which
carries $4,000. 600. and the work ON all the
other bills is well advanced.
AFTER THE VOTE ON THE RULES
1t is proposed to have a vote on the rules by
Wednesday evening After that the contested
election cases will be disposed of as promptly
as possible, and the appropriation bill, the
tariff and other important matters may be
brought in in quick succession. Under the new
rules, however, every committee's rights are re-
spected, and the question of priority of consid-
GRAFTON will depend upon the activity of the
committee and on the temper of the House re-
garding the measures proposed
If they succeed in getting all the measures
that are of importance out of the way early
they will probably adjourn soon as possible
thereafter. There would be several advan-
tages in an early adjournment besides that of
cutting off unnecessary legislation. An early
adjournment, with all the necessary work done
up clean, would necessarily give the republicans
a boom in the next elections

The defendants dispensed cider and drink
known as ''B." and held United States reve-
