RESOLUTIONS.
Business Review.

New YORK, January 19.-R. u. Dun &Co .'s
weekly review of trade says:
How far the situation auu prospect may
be changed by the passage of free coinage
bill by the senate is as yet mainly matter
of conjecture. Reports of the state of trade
at different points reflect mainly situation
prior to that vote and show general improve
ment in the volume of business. easier money
markets and more cheering outlook. The
exports of merchandise heavily exceed I'M
ports in value. The excess of exports IN
December was very large in spite OF the de-
cline in movement of breadstutfs, which
higher prices tend to prolong.
The reports from other cities show that the
situation and outlook had been improving
and feeling of greater confidence prevailed.
The money markets have grown easier and
banks are able to help customers more lber-
ally, but at the east the difficulty of making
commercial loans have not entirely ceased,
though money on call is very abundant. In
other words, those who have money want
their funds at immediate command in case
of an emergency.
The treasury output of cash, including ST.
800, 600 more new silver notes, was about
$4,000 more than it has taken in during
the week.
At the west and south all the money mar
kets are easier, though rates are not lower,
and caution in regard to character OF loans
is most frequently noted.
In general, the course of prices for manu-
featured goods is not helpful to producers,
while the cost of living and production Is
enhanced by speculative advances in the
prices OF many farm products.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the past seven days num-
Der All, as compared with total of 4O3 last
week. For the corresponding week last year
the figures wore :s36.

A Good DAVIS WOrk

ToPEKA.-Mr. Drake, of Morris county,
proposed by resolution to authorize the ser
geant-at-arms to employ such help as he
might need; which, upon motion of Mr..
Webb, of Shawnee, was referred to the COM
mittee on retrenchment and reform.
Messrs. Brown. Webb and Dunbar were
named as committee upon what action
should be taken by the house concerning the
delegates sent here from unorganized coun-
ties.
When the journal was read it was referred
to the committee on rules that all superfiu-
Gus matter nigh: be pruned from it.
While selection of seats by lot was in Or
der, the usual permission to deaf members
to first make choice was given and twenty
one members claimed to be eligible to that
privilege.
On motion of Mr.. Gable, of Leavenworth,
it was ordered by vote of l9 to 4S to put a
check upon the free drawing of stationery
by members.
The house dispensed with hearing the en-
tire message read.
On motion OF Mr.. York, of Rawlins, a
committee of seven on irrigation was added
to the regular list of committees.
Douglass of Sedgwick, Rice of Bourbon,
and Webb of Shawnee. were the first to get
i'll on the ground floor when introduction OF
bills was first in order, getting forty bills
into the hopper between them. Other men,
bers got in thirty-one more. They covered
multitude of subjects, all of which will be
noted in this report from time to time as
they are acted upon or before.
There is also resolution before the senate,
introduced by senator Moody, concerning
the shortening of the journal of that body,
| also by cutting out unnecessary repetitions
of redundant matter.
Senator kimball offered concurrent reso-
luton providing for printing the journals
from day to day, which was adopted 10y the
senate.
The senate talked good while over the
customary resolution ordering copies of the
revised statutes for members of the legisla-
ture, and did not then settle the matter.
Senator Hardness, from the senate COM
mittee on revision of the statutes, was the
first to respond when Lieutenant Governor
Felt announced the order of Introduction
of bills" The senator put twenty-five bills
in the hopper Many of these are identical
with bills introduced in the house; so priority
of consideration may be secured by these re-
form measures in both houses.
The list of bills now before the two houses
is probably the largest ever introduced in a
first batch: the senate receiving eighty
against seyenty-one in the house.

The Nicaragua Canal.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., January l5.-The re-
port of the committee on foreign relations
on the Nicaragua canal bill, presented by
Mr.. Sherman. maintains that the proceed
ing of Great Britain at Balize. on the Mos
quito coast, discharged the United States
from its engagement with Great Britain in
1850. TO refrain from exercising control of
any part of Central America. Ghe report
says that the tota! cost OF the PROJECT will be
but one-third more than the Welland canal,
and that it will Toe compIet "a within six years.
The full cost of the work is set down at
Sl0000o,G00. The committee believes that
it would be the part of economy. aside from
the consideration of national policy. for the
United States TO guarantee the bonds of the
company to the amount of SloO,UO,Ouo, so
that they may be sold at par, with the result
of reducing first, the actual expenditures of
the company, and second. the tolls, which
would otherwise amount to 81, 10000 an
nuaily.
