FINANCE AND COMMERCE,
New York Stock Merket.

NEW YORK, July 12.-As was ex-
pected, after the sensational rumors in
circulation yesterday, trading on the
resumption of business at the stock ex-
change this morning was attended with
considerable activity and excitement.
There was a perfect rush to sell, the
result of the continued circulation of
reports affecting the standing of certain
capitalists prominent in the railway
world. Names were banded about
freely, but no one in a position to know
the operations of the parties in question
could confirm the story put afioat. 1t
cannot be denied that there have been
heavy liquidations, and that, too, in the
best class of stocks, but, at the same
time, considerable proportion of bust
ness consisted of selling for short
accounts.
The failures at London and orders to
sell from that center added to the feel
ing Of depression. The prices declined
to 81 per cent. and wore the lowest
touched for very long time. Towards
the close, despite repeated efforts to
demoralize the market, frmer feeling
took possession of the list and in a
majority OF instances stocks sold higher
than last night. There were several
causes for improvement. chiefly among
them being the return flow of currency
to this center. easier feeling in money,
further decline in sterling exchange
and the probability of additional gold
imports. The sum OF $500, 600 in gold
will probably arrive from Havana to.

next; influx would be larger but for
difficulties of obtaining round amounts
Of gold from bank of England and bank

is that If exports of grain continue to

importations feasible. The adyane in

Having passed resolution to pay
the members from the upper peninsula
So q day, the house has broken q pre-
cedent established years ago Of post
poning such action until the end Of
the session. Just why this has been
apparent, unless it be to remove the
cot well founded apprehension that 1t
might be overlooked in the hurry and
rush CT the closing days. Whatever
else may be overlooked. salaries and
mileage never escape the eagle eyes Of
legislators.
As q principle of equity this in
creased allowance is professionally
wrong. There is no good reason why
the members from one section Of the
state shall receive q greater compensa-
ton than the members from any other
section. In the days Of stage coaches
and interrupted travel such extra per
diem compensation was unsuitable in
lieu OF an insufficient mileage allow
ance. That condition Of things Is now
changed. The member from the ex-
treme north can reach the capitol by
uninterrupted lines of travel. He is
paid an ample mileage, based on the
same rate for actual miles travelled Is
paid to members in the lower PENN
suls. He is fully compensated for the
differences IN distances.
The extra allowance therefore
amounts to q premium paid for the
services of the members from the north
and is totally and inexcuseably wrong
in principle and In operation. Re-
duced to an easily understood PROPOSE.
ton it amounts to this: The member
from Gogebic is paid $500 and full mile
age for gwen term, while the men,
Der from Kent receives only $500 and
mileage, each returning to the state
precisely the same service. This is SO
manifestly wrong and discriminating
that the practice ought to be aban-
doned.
