FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York Stock nIarkot.'

New York, March 27.-The stock
market was irregular in it's course
throughout the day. At intervals
speculation was strong in certain parts
OF the list, while positively weak in
others, and the market closed with a
number OF stock higher and others below
the final quotations OF Saturday. The
pears were not active in their efforts to
depress prices owing to the ease in
money, tho fact that only half O million
dollars OF gold will be shipped to Europe
tomorrow and the talk of the probable
advance in freight and passenger rates
by the Western railways operating
against them.
Throughout the day tho general
market advanced 4 to II per cent
but subsequently Missouri Pacific and
Lackawanna were attacked The for
mer sold down 21S to 5o% and the
latter IA to 1441S. simultaneously
there was drop of ~ In United
States Rubber to 5iA and IL in Man
haitian to 16794. Other really active
shares yielded 4 to Ia per cont. under
sales to realize profits and also for short
accounts. The volume OF business,
however, was small and the selling of
far less Importance than of late.
During the last hour Manhattan sud
denly shot up to III on rumors that the
company would be granted privileges
asked for by the rapid transit com mis-
sion which meets to morrow. There
was good buying OF Sugar, National
Cordage, National Lead, Amerlcan
Cotton Oil, Chicago Gas, Consolid atod
Gas and Northern Pacific, all OF which
improved to rs per cent. Chicago
Gas led with rise to ssh; Western
railway shares and Coalers recovered
a to Is per cent, and the market left
OIL firm in tone with most OF the indus
trials at or near the top figures. Sales

The most hopeful event of the week
in Congress, says Bradstreets, has
been the adoption of ar agreement
between the silver and the anti-silver
men in the House to limit debate up
on the question of repeating the COM
pulsory purchase clause of the Sher-
man law. Under this agreement de-
bate is to be limited to fourteen days.
A vote is first to be taken on a free
coinage substitute at the ratio of 16
to l, and, if that should be defeated,
on substitutes providing for ratios
ranging from II to l to 90 to l, then
on the Bland-Allison act of 1878, and
finally on the original measure. The
repeal bill was introduced by Mr..
Wilson yesterday, and almost imme-
diately after the free coinage substi-
tute was presented by Mr.. Bland, and
debate at once began. The repeal bill
provides that so much of the act of
July Il, 1890, as directs the Secretary
OF the Treasury to purchase silver
bullion and to issue Treasury notes in
payment therefor be repealed, but
that the repeal shall not impair the
legal-tender quality of the standard
silver dollars heretofore coined, and
that the faith and credit Of the United
States are pledged to maintain the
parity Of the gold and silver coin OF
the United States at the present legal
ratio, or such other ratio as may be
established by law. The danger OF
delay is, according to present indica.
tions, not so great IN the House as IN
the Senate.

The harm done is not alone to the
banks from which 1t is taken, but TO
every department of business IS injury
wrought, and ultimately it strikes the
very person who has flattered himself
that he has made himself secure by
his precautionary measures in taking
his money from the active channels
of trade and placing it where it can
either rot or grow moldy through in-
activity.
Because of this boarding the efforts
now being put forth by the Govern
ment and the banks have as yet not
made the impression upon the public
mind which ultimately must result
from them. A percepuble change
should be apparent shortly, for within
the coming week more currency will
be issued upon bonds deposited to
secure circulation by banks than in
the same period of time for some years
1.-The showing of the month Of July
in this regard was consided quite re
markable, the increase having been
over So, 100000, but August ought to
double this increase. Already this
amount has been passed, and the
month is not half over
at cannot but have a reassuring
effect upon the public to know that
from August l to II s23, COS, $50 Of
currency was ordered printed, bonds
to the amount of s12,111,35O depos-
tied to secure circulation, and curren.
cy to the amount Of s5,575. 405 actu.
ally sent from the Comptroller's office.
When to this is added the fact that
S20,000,000 Of gold is ordered from
abroad and soon must be here, there
certainly is good ground for hope OF
relief from a condition which is
wholly the result of unreasoning fear.
"The people in large measure,
can give the relief needed by unlock
ing their deposit vaults, untyiBg their
old stockings and making the banks
Of the country the places for the safe
keeping Of their money instead of
their beds and cellars. II they refuse
to do this they certainly ought not to
complain of inconvenience which
they can but will not remedy.

A Strong Summing Up.

The silver convention which has
been in session at Ketchum, made
this strong summing up of the situa-
ton in behalf of the white metal in
its address and appeal to the people /:
Free coinage of silver VIII enlarge
the volume of basic money; it will
stop the fall of prices and establish
them upon a much higher plane; it
will add to the rewards of all who
toll; it will make the burden of life
easier in the homes of the masses, it
will Tighten the sky Of industry; it
will make music among the spindles;
it will put thanksgiving in the hearts,
and songs on the lips of millions; it
will overturn the bondholder's con-
spiracy and take the yoke of hopeless
poverty from the necks of those who
have been ground into the dust be-
meath the wheels of this juggernaut
of gold. Moreover, we want to say to
those who own factories that are
standing idle, that free and unlimited
coinage of silver would at once create
new and almost boundless market
for them. Free coinage in the United
States at a ratio of Is to / would at
once bring food Of orders for goods
from Latin American countries since
fluctuations in exchange would be
done away with. This trade would
amount to tens of millions of dollars
annually; it would permanently turn
the general balance Of trade in our
favor, and would oblige Europe to
pay its balance to US In gold-aye in
gold. While drawing the silver of
Mexico we would draw the gold of
England, and the bi-metaliic United
States would become the money cen
ter of the world.

the feasibility Of his theory, but with
one exception, he received no encour-
agement He had also been in cor
respondence for some time with DR..
McGuire, who was inclined to take a
more hopeful view Of the case than
the New York surgeons. He said he
had found two life conyicts in Sing
Sing Prison who had consented TO
part, one with his right and one with
left forearm in consideration of gain.

before Governor Flower and succeed
ed in prevailing upon the Governor to
pardon the conyicts when the condi-
tions specified have been complied

An Early Vote to be had.

The agreement which has been ar
rived at between the friends and enc
mics Of the unconditional repeal of
the silver act to reach vote in the
House on the question in fourteen
days after discussion begins will be
pleasing to the country. 1t is hoped
that the Senate will not be far behind
hand in disposing Of the issue. There
has been a general desire among the
people that this question be settled at
the earliest practicable moment. The
suspense and uncertainty which the
country will be in until the vote IS
taken will be harmful to all interests.
The sooner this feeling is removed
the better it will be for all concerned.
Lengthy discussion of the matter was
needless, because il had been discuss
ed in its general phases in Congress
exhaustively in recent years, and be-
cause it has been discussed in its de-
tails and IN every phase by the press
Of the country within the past few
months.

GOVERNOR Mcconnell, if reported
correctly from Ketchum, stands with
his hat in his hand ready to bolt his
party. He is quoted as saying "The
time has come, or will soon, if this
Congress does not restore silver to
its rightful place, when there will be a
party which has for its guiding prin-
ciple the free coinage of silver alone.
We must move in solid phalanx in
this direction and be prepared to up
hold the New PARTY"
The governor then seems to have
lost faith in his own party in Con
gress and is holding himself in readi-
ness for the new party in the state.
The coming party must be- the
present Populist party, for indications
point to the fact that it will drop its
"Populist" name and come out under
a new name and under new banner
as "The Silver Party" If all these
things be true the governor viii part

leagues and comrades in arms. Shoup.
Dubois, Sweet, Edgar Wilson, Wood,
Beatty, Richardson, Borah and all
that class Of men will not 90 with
him. They are supposed to be as
strong for silver as the governor can
possibly be, and, if we understand
them correctly, they win contend for
silver from behind their own party
Notifications and under their old par
ty flag. The action of Congress
seems to be the only salvation Of the
governor to his party and it remains
TO be seen how he will read that &C,
ton touching the restoration of silver
to its rightful place and what the
metes and boundaries of the rightful
place will be. Governor Waite of
Colorado did not go far beyond this
in his Denver speech.

So FAR since the meeting of Con.
gress no partisanship has appeared on
the surface. The press Of the country
has uniformly shown disposition to
keep it down. Mr.. Cleveland, in his
message, sounded the key note and
the commentators given the message
for its freedom from partisanship and
its spirit in that line, by the leading
journals, bespeak their patriotism and
tagacitY. The kickers, who are few
in number, would have kicked at the
emanations of an inspired pen. Kick
ing and faultfnding is the stock in
trade of some and to deprive them Of
this would be in the line of paralyzing
the hind legs of an unbroken mule.

STARVATION AMID PLENTY.
Comptroller Eckels Thus Sums Up the
Currency Situation.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug, IL
Comptroller Eckels has the following
to say about the currency situation ::
"The situation as it stands to-day
might very appropriately be termed
starvation in the midst of plenty, for
such is the exact truth. The volume
Of currency in the country is greater
than in any recent year, vet none is
to be had except as it is bought in
the market as commodity pure and
simple Remarkable as is this money
buying and selling upon the streets of
New York and elsewhere under exist
ing circumstances, il IS accomplishing
results quite unlocked for when first
entered upon. IL is bringing out of
hiding places the money drawn from
the banks by the timid, and as a con
sequence the ensuing week will I'M
doubtedly see money sink to its nor
NAL value. When this point is reached
there will be no demand for it as an
article of merchandise, and the owner
will undoubtedly return it to the bank
from which he drew it.
cit seems to me our people gener-
ally do not appreciate the great harm
that is being done by the continuous
withdrawal Of money from the banks
that it may be boarded in safety de-
post vaults or ip places less secure

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-Comptrol-
Ter Eckels thinks the currency situa-
tion will be considerably improved
this week by money sinking to its
normal value. The premium paid
for the use of currency is dragging
money from its hiding places, and
during tho coming week more cur
rency will be issued on bonds depos-
tied by banks than for the same period
of time for many years. The cur
rency was increased by this method
during July s5,5OO,OOO and more
than this amount has been issued al
ready in August When to this the
$20,000,00O ordered from abroad are
added there is certainly strong
grounds TO hope for relief.
