FINANCE AND COMMERCE.

New York, May 19.-The improve.
ment in the stock market made further
progress to day. The reactions result
ing from realizations or from bear raids
were less pronounced than of late and
seemed to stimulate purchases by those
who have recently espoused the bull
side. The engagement of So, 600, 600 in
gold for shipment by to morrow's steam
ers had little or no effect, money on call
being extremely easy and funds for the
time being offered more freely than of
late.
The advance was equal to M@4A per
cent, aid everything on the list par
ticipated in the rise. Manhattan,
Pacific Mail, the Vanderbilts, Lacka.
wanna, Changers, Sugar and General
Electric were the real leaders of the
market, and closed at or near the best
figures OF the day. Commission houses
had more orders than for some time,
and the bears covered freely. Distillers
yielded 23S at the opening to 14N on
proceedings instituted by the attorney
general Of Illinois for the annulment Of
their charter, but subsequently, rose to
is. Tho demand during tho last hour
was more active than at any previous

BUSINESS NONSENSE.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The bias of party prejudice is shown
most conclusively in the causes assigned
for the present depression in trade.
With few exceptions, and those in
modified form, it is claimed by the
Democratic press that prospective tariff
legislation has nothing to do with it,
while Republicans attribute ii chiefly to
this cause. The administration and its
defenders have thrust the Sherman law
continually before the public as the sole
cause of the lack of confidence, while
Republican papers maintain that only
minor share OF the responsibility should
be charged to that ACT. This latter
theory is supported by the fact that the
law has been in force since 1890, during
which time The country was
never more prosperous. 1t is
unfortunate for the Democrats
that reverses came and confidence de-
parted so suddenly after the change of
administration. Primarily, there is
nothing political in the question. Poll
tics or party interests have no bearing
whatever upon the subject. 1t is simply
business proposition "a condition
brought about by causes entirely for
eign to party politics. If parties advo-
cate financial heresies. SO much the
worse for the parties. The fundamen-
tai laws which govern the trade and
commerce of the country ara fixed,
and the violation of these laws
by individuals, corporations or ma
tons bring the penalty with
unerring certainty. If the Sherman law
has destroyed confidence il has done 10
independent of politics. Ii prospective
tariff legislation has closed half the
mills of the country it is because of the
possible net results III dollars and cents
to the manufacturers. But here the ia
consistency is manifest. What propOr.
ton of the voters will ignore party plat
forms and treat the matter purely from
business standpoint? Ii it be true
that tue Democratic policy or the
Republican policy govern, it follows
that before engaging IN any business un-
dertaklng a man must first determine as
to which party he belongs. Logically
If he is Democrat a given enterprise
will be a paying investment of capital:
if lie is q Republican the same venture

results. In other words the probability
that two and two make four depends

view the problem. This NAV be politics,

In Illuminating campaign lies the full
minators rarely show any reggrd for
consistency. A glaring instance in point
Is the accusation laid by the Democrats
of Iowa against the Republican candi-
date for governor, Jackson, of having
at some time been engaged in some sort
of pension swindle. If Jackson's ac-
cusers had any regard for consistency
and their own party record on the

may be of interest to know that while
only 325 pounds of powder were ex-
pended in the discharge of broadside

in firing the broadside of the Victoria
