Review Of the Market,

Henry Clews in his Financial Reuiep issued
today says: The speculative situation shows
more uncertainty than two weeks ago. Two
causes are responsible for this: first, the rest
and reaction which were necessary after rise
Of 8a20 points within few short weeks and,
next, the developments concerning Missouri
Pacific and Union Pacific, which have brought
down storm of indignation upon the heads Of
the directors.
The solid facts are more in favor of improve.
ment than ever The harvest has now passed
from the range Of possibilities into certainty.
Plenty and profit are already in the grasp Of
the farmer. Debts will DO paid. mortgages
wiped out and new enterprises started on a
scale hitherto unknown; all OF which means
expansion of business and increased traffic for
railroads.
Gold is coming this way with unexpected
freedom. This tends to lessen the possibilities
Of very tight money, which has been question
OF doubt to bulls of the prudent sort The
other view of this gold movement is that it
causes frmer money abroad, where stocks have
been carried Oh American account and discour-
ages speculation; to that extent depriving this
market OF important foreign support. Still
the immediate course OF the market, however
seems now more promising again on this side
for the bull side as reaction from the recent
depression. For the next few days we look for
an active market, with good opportunities for
traders.

Col Eilder writes as follows concerning the

The presidential election was held on the
9Th, 7th and sth instants and resulted in VIC
tory for Gen Leiva by an overwhelming ma
3ority. He was the candidate of the progressive
party, OF which Gen. Bogran has been the iesdsr
Tor many years. and believe that his election
insures continuance Of the enlightened and
liberal policy which has distinguished
the present administration in the eucour-
agement OF foreign immigration, and friend
snip toward American enterprises in particular.
The opposition was well organized, active and
persistent and political excitement ran high.
The government however. gave the most per-
feet liberty both of the press aud At the polls.
Inc result. think, speaks well for the country
as the election was conducted throughout the
country with perfect order and without the

This Information from 50 reliable authority
is OF more than usual importance, because Of

secured the choice Of his successor BY the use

Two Reports Have Been Submitted 10 the
Secretary Of the Interior.
In the opinion Of q majority Of the members
Of the Ctah commission, whose report has
Just been submitted TO Secretary Noble, the
recent action in Utah Of disbandinr the
peoples or the Mormon party u a
step in the direction Of educating the
people to think for themselves politi-
cally. Whether. says the report, this action
be in good faith. rs is claimed by some. or
merely ruse, as asserted by others. by which
to get rid OF the power and control Of the ma
tional government, the commission expresses
no opinion. They think that IL would be wise
to wait and see just what the Mormons mean
by this move. They consider that the
present safeguard for the enforcement
Of the laws should be continued and that il
would not be wise at this time to confer state
hood upon the people. The report is signed
by @. L. Godfrey, R. 8. Robertson, Alvin Saun-
ders and A. B. Williams.
In a minority report signed by John A. Nc
Clemand reference is made to the decrease in
polygamous marriages, to the dissolution Of the
Mormon party and the decision of the
members to Join with the democratic or
republican parties and the general progress
that has been made toward an improved con-
dition. He refers to needed changes in the
election laws.
