New York.

e New YORK. Oct. 21.-A fairly active
speculation was carried on in the stock
market during the two hours of bust
ness today. Discouraging news from
Washington caused some slight selling
at the opening, resulting in some frac-
tlonal declines. but the dealings quickly
gained strength when it was figured out
that there was really no change in the
senatorial situation. Until The close
decidedly firm tone prevailed, which
was most marked on the publication of
the very excellent bank statement. A
fresh selling movement was organized
on this splendid showing of the banks,
the increase in surplus being greater
than was anticipated. The market was
buoyant at the close, tbs best prices
of the day being made in the final deal
lngs. Sugar was sold up on reports of
out on call loans sufficient cash to pay
II per cent dividend on the common
stock at the end of the fiscal year with
out infringing on its working capital.
Buying orders in Delaware, Lacka-
wanna u Western caused sharp adj
vance in these shares, owing to the
small supply of stock on the market.

TALK IN THE HOUSE.
What Democratic Leaders Think
OF the Compromise.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The terms of
the proposed compromise were the sub
iect of great deal of discussion in the
house this afternoon. The fact that an
authorization for bonds was not feat
ure brought relief to many of the Re-
publIcans and Western Democrats. The
Democratic leaders, Speaker Crisp, Gen.
Catchings, Mr.. Cultivate, Gen. Sayre,
and Judge Culberson are in favor
of the bill when it comes up
from the senate, and. should
it come into the house before the
bankruptcy bill, which will be made
continuing order on Monday. there will
be suspension. in order to give the
right of way. The Democratic leaders
express general satisfaction with the
bill, and seem to feel certain that 1t
will find favor with both wings of
the party in the lower house. The
ultra silver Democrats OF the house,
like Bland, have no opinion to express
for publication, but the prevailing opin-
ion is that, IN view of the necessity for
a show of party harmony, they will
content themselves with voting against
the measure. A goodly portion of
the silver Democrats will proba-
bly,. however. vote for the compromise
if their votes are needed to secure its
passage. The Republicans have not
yet decided about the course they
will pursue. They will be governed
largely by what their political brethren
i'll the senate do. There are two feat
ureS of the compromise to which they
object, the failure to provide bond
issue and the coinage of the seignorage
in the treasury. The coinage of the
seignorage would replenish the treasury
to the extent OF $50, 600, 600. and tide the
| administration over for the next year if
the deficit should not be larger than is
at present estimated,
Mr.. Dingley said there could be no
seignorage. The object of the coinage
OF the alleged seignorage was. he said,
to make up the deficit. Should the Re-
publicans, fTee-silver Democrats and the
PopuliSts unite in their opposition to the
terms of the compromise, they could de-
feat it, but this is not anticipated.
When the bill reaches the house it
will 20 to the committee OH coinage,
weights and measures unless there is an
indication that an attempt will be made
to hold it i'll that committee for too long
a period, in which case motion to con-
cur in the senate amendments would be
made without its reference at all. The
consensus of opinion, however, is that
it Will be referred under the rules and
returned to the house within two days
at the most. Four days after the bill
reaches the house it is expected that it
will have passed and congress will have
| taken recess for two or three weeks.

A DULL HOUSE.
The Treasury Deficiency Causes
Some Discussion.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Mr. Pendle-
ton withdrew the McGarrahan bill,
there being no quorum present, thus
saving it from going 10 the foot of the
calendar. A bill to divide the
eastern judicial district of Michigan
in northern and southern divisions
was passed, an interesting discussion of
the financial condition of the treasury
and the country followed. Mr.. Nc
Millin said that it was no longer
possible to consider the financial
straits in which the treasury was.
The treasury was running behind
every month. Nothing had been paid
on the sinking fund for some time, and
it was notorious that the treasury had
been driven to the use of portion of
the S100.000.000 gold reserve maintained
to redeem outstanding greenbackS to
meet current expenses.
Mr.. Sayres supplemented Mr.. McMill-
ms statement by plea for the urgent
necessity of economy in view of the de-
ficiency in the revenues. He declared
that the deficiency to he provided by the
postal service alone would be fully
S15,O00,0O0.
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, insisted that
the reason for the failure of the reve-
nues had not been stated truthfully.
This was sufficient under the last previ-
Gus year to meet all the demands made
by the ''eXtravagant legislation to
which Mr.. McMillin had adverted.
The revenues, in his opinion,
had fallen off on account of
the general financial and industrial con-
dltion of the country. The deficit had
already reached $50, 100000, and would
reach S50,000,000 by July 1. 1894. He
maintained that there was absolutely
no authority for the secretary of
the treasury to trench on the
gold reserve fund to meet cur
rent expenditures, and he warned the
house that it was a dangerous precedent
which would inevitably lead to trouble.
Ii the secretary had the authority to
issue bonds it would restore confidence
here and abroad. A bill to construct
revenue cutter for the Great Lakes to
replace the Andy johnson, which
has been doing the service on the lakes
for thirty years, led to further financial
discussion, but the second morning hour
expired before action was had. The
house then resumed the consideration
of the printing bill, which was COM
pleted, and as amended 1t was reported
to the house. On the passage the vote
stood II to 8. Mr. BeltZhoover made the
point Of no quorum, and the ayes and
nays were ordered. 1t resulted 13S to s.
No quorum. ThereupOn, at 3:05 the
house adjourned.

men will vote against the amend
ment and for the bill. The ma
joritv of the ultra-repeal Republicans
would probably accept the bill if it
made bond provision, and on account
of its omission may oppose it as party,
1t seems more than probable that Demo
Gratis will get the concurrence of their
entire party in the senate: the K epub-
licans will make no effort at united &C
ton. The silver men, if all parties are
pleased, will accept the bill.
THE SILVER MEN
made strong effort to extend the Sher-
man bill to the next congressional cleo
ton, but found it impossible to secure
executive approval for date later than
that mentioned. In fact. this date.
October. 1894, is compromise within
compromise. July l, 1894, and JAM l, 1895,
1t is understood that the treasury de-
partment took the position that it would
be impossible to preserve the gold and
silver parity without bonds if the Sher-
man law should remain in force
more than year longer, and that it
yer men to yield as they did for the eX
tension until Jan. l, 1895.
AS at present arranged, the bill will
expire in the midst of the next congress
sional election, and it is going to be
very difficult to keep it out of the cam
paIgn. As it is. there will probably be
an effort to amend the amendment in
the increase Of the purchasing time
year, and the silver men think it pos
sibIe that they may get Republican sup
port to put this through. but, all circum-
stances considered, this is hardly prob
able.
One of the advantages which the
silver men find in the committees
amendment of the original bill is that it
gives them ground to stand on while
the silver fight shall be waged in the
future. They say that the silver fight
has in reality only begun; that the
present bill is only stipulation for
brief time, and that it will be presented
vigorously in the regular session.
