SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Stanford Argues for Loans ON Land
Stewart Against the Elections Bill

WASHINGTON Cry, Dec. l9-In the
Senate after routine business Stanford
spoke on his bill TO increase the circulating
medium. He said that money was the
most important factor in the business
relations of the country. There was a limit
to the quantity of gold and silver metals,
and that limit could not be exceeded by
any effort on the part of the government.
Ii was therefore a great mistake for the
government to contlne itself in the issue of
money TO material outside Of its control
and limited in quantity. On the suf-
tlciency of money depended very largely
the industries of the country. An illustra-
ton OF its Importance was to be found in
the present depressed financial condition.
Never was the country more prosperous,
yet, owing to want of money, upon
slight disturbance of credit there
was distress all over the land.
30 general was the uneasiness and
apprehension that money which ought to
be in circulation was being boarded. The
bill he was now considering proposed TO
put the government in condition to issue
supply Of money equal substantially 10
the general demand. Legal tender notes
would be issued under the provisions of
hAaN Jill tifoiA tftdtildblS anu nTdcIl-
cally lnexhaustible security. Its supply
was TO be ascertained and determined by
the rate which she borrower could afford
to pay. Two per cent. was the amount to
De paid 70 the government for the loan of
Its money and so long as money was
worth more than , per cent, the security
being practically inexhaustible, il would
always he borrowed from the government.
and thus the government would be able TO
discharge its duty and supply the general
want The principle of the government
loaning money had been fully established
ny the advance it now had made on its
Own bonds
The scheme Of the bill is 20 supnlv an
ample amount of money for all business
purposes He had mentioned lands as
security. because they appear the best and
most certain OF all properties. and are suffi-
clent to furnish all the money needed.
The people, he thought, would have more
confidence in a financial measure that is
new and radical If il had at present land
only tor hesis. The rate of interest on
these loans on real estate is uxed at per

House Proceedings.

WAsHINGToS CRY. Dec. 19-The House,
after passing District of Columbia BILL
took up the conference report on the bill
amending the act for division of por-
ton of the Sioux Indians in the Dakotas
into smaller reservations. The only change
made is an authorization for the expendi-
ture of the appropriation of 100000 made
for the purchase of beef and other rations.
In speaking of the measure Allen of Miss
issippi took occasion tn criticise congress
for doing nothing to relieve the financial
stringency of the country, and expressed
his belief that the president had done
wrong and shown his littleness in at
tempting to bulldoze the Senate. He
quoted the remark of lady fond of deco
rating her parlor with sculpture. to the
effect that she was going To secure life
sized statue of President Harrison. The
report was agreed to, and the House adj

PORTLAND, Dec. l9.-On December
Charles r. Barnett, citizen of Kentucky,
tle d a petition in the United States circuit
court asking for the appointment Of a re-
ceiver for the Northwest Fire and Marine
Insurance Company, corporation ineor-

BRADsTREETs REVIEW OF TRADE.
Money Is Much Easier-Failures Due to
the Recent Panic.

New York, Dec. l9.-lSpecial. Brad
streets will say tomorrow: "Spare specu-
lation continues in very narrow and
waiting condition. In fact, the general
disposition OF the street is to defer activity
until after January, when it is expected
that not only will the money market and
the business situation return to its normal
condition, but that the proposed congress
sional action on currency and national
finances will be decided on and enacted
and the proposed agreement among the
railroads in the West carried into effect.
In the meantime, however, the market is
left in the hands of the traders on the floor
of the exchange. Fluctuations have con-
sequently been unimportant, although it
is TO be believed that prices have generally
been steady, with somewhat b ullish ten
dencies At times the prevailing impress
sion, in fact, is that the pending factors
are favorable rather than otherwise, and
in the narrow condition of the market the
bear leaders are unwilling to take action
that might readily excite them to the dan
ger of a squeeze.
The principal activity of the week was
grangers and coal stock. Lackawanna was
in fact one of the most prominent stocks,
and was quite strong. The rise in PaciiIc
Mail from 30 to over 81 was one of the
features, and there was considerable
trading in Union Pacihc. Atchison was
weak at one time on rumors of uniavor-
able earnings. Sugar trust and specialties
generally we're extremely quiet.
The various failures which occurred
throughout the country have very little
effect upon the market. Indeed they are
regarded as mere results Of the recent
manic. Indeed money has been fairly
plentiful and easy in Wall street during
the week, and there has been some relaxa-
ton Of the extreme stringency in regard
to time loans The arrival of 81 900. 90 of
gold from Europe has had a good effect,
although exchange rates are again at a
fgure which prevents further importation.
The wool markets are in a very strong
position. Quotations have not changed
for some weeks, although the demand has
been light Dealers have not pressed sales
and have shown an unusual amount OF
confidence in prices. The demand for Ohio
and Michigan fleece Is strong. Texas
woods are selling much better than year
ago. California woods and territories are
not active. but limited amount of stock
prevents any decline in prices. Pulled
woods are quiet and unchanged. Foreign
woods have shown less activity than for the
preceding week The London market
manifested considerable strength at the
close. Adviees from Melbourne state that
the market i unchanged, but that the
tendency is toward higher values.

banker, who assigned yesterday and was
arrested later on charge of accepting de-
posits when he knew the bank was insoly-
ent, made statement in court this morn
ing. He had q statement prepared three
days before the assignment which placed
the liabilities at S52S, 900 and the assets at
$604 900. The liabilities in this statement
were about 81 200, 900 less than that made
by Assignee Jacobs yesterday. He thought
it might not be exactly reliable. kean
said there was a large amount of personal
real estate in the hands of the assignee
which did not appear in his statement. In
summing up his statement his counsel
said it did not look as though the deposi-
tors would receive % cents on the dollar.
Among the petitions filed in court to-
day was one by Treasurer Pugh. of the
National w. c. T. T., who says Kean re-
ceived from her December 8 a note for
$1,000, and smaller amounts December Il
and II, while aware that the bank was in
solvent 4 petition was also filed by the
w. c. 7. U. Publishing Association to re-
cover amounts deposited.
John Farson, of the banking firm of
Farson & Co., made some interesting
statements in court. He was formerly
connected with Kean's house, but with
drew in 1889. When asked why, he said
he was dissatisfied with kean's manage
ment. In the course of the examination
it was learned that Wilson Waddingham,
the wealthy cattle man. last July thought
of going into partnership with Kean. He
got statement of the banks affairs from
kean and consulted Farson.
What was the result?" asked the at
torney.
"Well, Waddingham didn't go in," re-
piled Farson.
