a General Recovery.

NEW YORK, November 15.-The general
feeling in the street has undergone marked
change for the better, and the opinion of
the habitues of the street is that the objects
of the influential combination of capitalists
which has forced the recent decline has been
accomplished, and that with the affecting of
the reforms in the railroad business now
proposed, there will come general improve
ment in values. The late reaction from low
prices of two days ago is rngarded as princi-
pally the effect of the covering of shorts, to-
gether with some buying by some who had
thrown their holdings over on the scare.
There were no further failures or bank sus-
pensions, but the bears demonstrated the
fact that they had not gone into their holes,
and are still very much alive. The natural
tendency of prices to advance, after the late
severe drop, was checked, and while the
fluctuations were on a comparatively small
scale, they we're in some cases very material,
though the final changes are in most cases
for fractional amounts only.
When it was known that the fortnightly
settlements in London had been completed
without failure, and that the Bank of Eng
land rate of discount remained unchanged at
8 per cent. instead of being advanced to q,
as was feared in London, aud also that Rates
for money in the open market there remains
steady at S1 per cent, there was a general
recovery,

Assets of an Insolvent Corporation.

TOPEKA, KAN, November 1s.-The motion
to dissolve attachment in the case OF Kahn,
Schoenbrun l. Co VS.. the Alma Coal Mining
company, in the United States circuit court
was overruled, and the attachment sustained.
The decision is an important one. The ques-
tions involved in the decision were the right
of a creditor under the attachment laws OF
this state to attach the property OF defend
ant domestic corporation, and further, the
right of an insolvent CORPORATION, or one In a
failing condition, to prefer creditors.
The court held that the capital stock and
assets of an insolvent corporation Is trust
fund, and preference cannot be given to par
ticular creditors. The case has excited WIDE
spread attention among large mercantlie
houses in the east. An important bearing of
the case Is that it upholds the doctrine that
though voluntary preferences cannot be
given by an insolvent corporation on the
ground that its assets are trust fund, yet,
nevertheless, a creditor may secure prefer
ence by process in attachment.

sherman on FINANCES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 19.-Sena-
tor Sherman, discussing the financial unrest
caused by the prospect of legislation in the
next congress, says he presumes the extreme
silver men will insist of free coinage.
''They may do it at this session." said the
senator, "but I regard it as very unlikely
that the house will stultify itself by agreeing
to such legislation. The present purchase of
four and one-half million ounces of silver
monthly is very satisfactory. We might as
well offset the retirement of our bank circu-
Iation, which is about S36, 100000 a year,
from that source as from any other. Free
coinage, however, is different matter. The
effect of this, in my Judgment, would be to
lower the price of silver bullion. and also to
drive gold practically out of the market"
''Why should the silver men desire free
coinage if the effect would cheaper the
price?"
''They don't think so, isSenator Sherman
replied. 'They believe it would enhance
the value. Maybe it would, but it is an obvi-
GUS fact that silver bullion is or per cent.
lower to-day than it was before the elections.
Our only course as republicans is to main
tain and strengthen our industrial policy on
the line we have pursued, in the hope that
by the next election the people will become
convinced by the test of time that the tariff
act will not advance prices, but will advance
home industries"
