NEW YORK. Dec. 6.
The principal speculative interest today
again conferred in sugar refining, which
suffered sharp decline on the inference
from the statement accompanying the divi
dend declaration that the company had
drawn on its surplus to make the payments.
A depressing Influence was also exerted by
the expectation that the management would
make public a statement of the condition of
the refining industry, which it was feared
would be tinged with President Hayey
meer pessimist. The general list was strong
whenever the bears sought to reduce their
lines. but the advance was checked by the
removal of offerings for short account in
he afternoon. General news was of Il
colorless character. The question of gold
export is still to be decided, but it is
doubted by some good houses that an i'm
portant sum will be shipped this week. The
lower price paid for gold at the bank of
France and the bank of England renders
higher level of exchange necessary for the
profitable export of the precious metal. The
legislative situation at Washington con-
tinues obscure, hut with the possible excep-
tion of measures antagonistic to the sugar
industry there is little prospect that Con-
gress will take any important action. The
best opinion appears to be that legislative
apathy and inertia will preclude any
changes in the sugar tariff. The situation
among the western railways is unchanged,
and the speculation is waiting upon the
developments of The future as regards bust
ness revival and railway earnings. Pending
q change in the aspect of affairs the market
is likely to remain irregular. but subject to
frequent rallies when the short interest be-
comes unwieldl y. The bear tactics are at
present marked by indecision, and the short
interest remains heavy. covering being
effected early by the supply of new con-
tracts by other bearish interests. Should
any favorable developments occur the bears
would be embarrassed decidedly in cover
ing, and we still think it is safe to buy on
the weak days for quick turns on the rallies.

4 Tariff ~COmmissi0n.

The suggestion comes from Newark.
n. J., that the tariff be taken out OF
politics. This is not n new idea, but it
now assumes for the first time some
practical form. with an outline for pro-
cedure by Mr.. Samuel B. Archer. who
for the full and proper advocacy Of his
suggestions has Published this week the
FIRST number Of u weekly paper called
The Tariff Commission.
As the name of the paper implies. the
idea Of Mr.. Archer is hat the tariff Of
the United States be under the entire
control OF q commission of Is members.
This commission, it is suggested. should
be divided into three parts OF five mem-
bers each, one part to represent the gov
eminent, one to- represent labor, and the
third TO represent the manufacturing
and commercial interests of the country.
G. Our new tariff contemporary explains
its ideas very completely, and we advise
all our readers to send for a copy Of the
first number. The subject is one fraught
with the utmost Importance. There can
be no doubt that the establishment OF a
permanent protective tariff, that would
not be subject u continuous petty tin
kering at the hands of incompetent mall
efactors. would tend to the progress and
advancement of the American nation to
a degree that we have hitherto never ex-
perienced. Business could be establish
ed permanently and continue in an even
course irrespective of politics and the
fear of what may be the result of our Pc
riodical congressional elections. Much
can be said in favor of the project. which
Gbould not be lightly cast aside.

The Cheeky Catches Two d.
vines on n Simple Proposition.
Abashed at nothing. a commercial
traveller in b south OF epropounded a
question to a Couple of clergymen,
whom he encounters Z on a railroad
train. which illustra - how easily a
man may be tripped n a simple little
catch problem. Thu drummer entered
into q conversation with the minis

bones belong TO male infants and the
black to female, or vice versa: That is
the problem that now excites the dis

train. Just as it was about moving of

to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
the hand of one a card, upon which was
written the words:
Excuse me if | suggest that you
read your Bibles hereafter with greater
care. Had you done so in the past, you
would have known that boy babies only
were ordered slain by Herod. New
