LIVERPOOL MOVEMENT FOR THE WEEK END

New York, Aug. 24-Clapp g. Co., in their
weekly review Of the market, say of cotton:
Strikes at some and resumption of opera
tions at other mills In New England, and crop
reports and prospects are the all-absorbing
topics. Cotton men have not yet felt the re-
cent speculative impulses of traders on other
exchanges. Small sales in Liverpool caused
many traders to think Manchester merchants
and spinners are very sanguine that America
will raise one million bales more cotton than
required the coming year. Others look at the
advancing silver market with much hope and
courage, Many small traders are reported
short few hundred bales each in the differ
ent markets, while exporters are said TO have
sold for future shipment, and continue liberal
Should either or any OF these par.
ties become alarmed by bad crop reports,
now and heretofore unusually good, an upturn
in the market is quite possible. Reports
from Texas claim liberal planting has Deen
done on early wheat stubble lands, and the
crop Is looking fine. New cotton is arriving
in much larger quantities than usual at this
dute. larger movement would likely have
taken pla had it not ceen for recent rains.
Print cloths, now in liberal supply, have been
sold more freely for future delivery and at
full prices previously prevailing. About this
season OF the year, especially after the mar
ket has been lteless for a long time, pri ces
are apt TO improve. Legislation is about TO
cease. The war with China and Japan may
AID an advance IN silver already commenced.
In a general way, our PEOPLE are more likely
to turn their attention each to their own bust
ness, rather than Longer watch each other and

or yetoes the bill, IL one or the other becomes

Minnesota was enlisted in August of
that year, and when the officers were
formally announced Sept. Is. following,
Mag. Strait was declared to be the cap
tain of Company |. He was promoted
to major in October, 1861. for gallant
services upon the fields Of battle.
lu the report of Col. j. +. Marsh, COM
mander of the regiment. of the battle of
Guntown, known also as Brice's Cross
roads, he uses this language concerning
Capt. Strait: "fhe conduct of Capt. ID.
B. Strait at this point was especially
commendable and worthy of notice" !"
In view of the fact that this was one of
the most desperate and bloody of all
the small engagements of the w&r, and
the further fact that Strait was the only
captain who received special COM
mendation, this remark of Col. Marsh
speaks very much. Col. Marsh, III his
report of the work done by his regiment
in the battle in front of Nashville, Dec.
10 ard 10. 1864, again commends the con-
duct of Maj. Strait In high terms.
1t is evident from the many special
mentions made of Maj Strait by his
superior officers during the war that he
was one of tine braveSt and most faith
full officers in the service. He served
to the end Of the war. and was never
known TO shirk duty or dodge danger
where courage was in demand.
After the close of the war he engaged
in the banking business with the late
ID. u. How. of Shakopee. and, aside
from his political work, that has been
his life business. So successfully did
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-02-26

he conduct the banking business that
at the time of his death he was presi-
dent of the First National Bank of
Shakopee, and of the Scott County bank
at Jordan, and vice president of the
Lyon County National bank at Mar
shall, Minn., as well as stockholder
and director in various other state
banks. He succeeded eX-Gov. Ramsey
as president of the Germania Bank of
st. Paul in 1890, and only retired from
that position on the 15t of January last,
when his health became such as to
| render business relaxation an impera-
tive necessity. In fact. for several
! months previous. his health prevented
his giving but little attention to the
bank.
When Maj. Strait left st. Paul about
five weeks ago for trip to Washington
and other points, there were many
friends who had torebodings that he
might never return. There was almost
a deathly pallor on his countenance, a
! dimness in the eye and lack of elasticity
in the step, which sadly, but all too
truly, told that his years of activity
were drawing to their close.
AS politician he was one OF the
! most successful in the state. He was
first elected to congress on the Repub-
lican ticket in November, 1872, from
the Second Minnesota district, his term
beginning March /, 1873 He was twice
reelected, serving until March 4, 1879.
| The congressional districts Of the state
were then Increased from three to five,
and in the reap portionment his resi-
dence was in the Third district. The
political complexion of the district
was sufficiently changed by the
! reapportionment to cause his de-
feat i'll the fall of 1878.
when candidate for the fourth term,
Henry Poehler, Of Henderson, Sibley
county, being elected. In the fall of
1880, however, he again ran against Mr..
Poehler and that time defeated him, and
again three terms fell to his lot, making
an aggregate congressional career of
twelve years. Though continuing active
in politics, presiding at conventions, and
| doing much quiet political work, his
! official public career terminated OH the
4th of March, 1887. Prior to going 10
congress he was for many years one of
the trustees of the insane asylum at st.
Peter, and held loca! public positions at
his home.
He was so loyal to his political friends
| and so courteous and obliging to his
political enemies that he disarmed
opposition, and made his career phe-
nOmenal his election hejuD Savaral
times secured by his personal Demo
cratic friends.
In addition to the family mentioned

WAsHIN GToN, Feb. 25.-It is the in
tention OF the senate finance committee
to report the tariff bill to the senate to-
morrow unless the Republicans offer
some strenuous objections. Following
this, it is expected that Senator VOor-
hees will give notice that he will call
up the bill on the following Monday
and ask that it be kept before the senate
until disposed of. 1t Is a part of the
programme that the bill shall be taken
up every morning Immediately after the
morning business and kept before the
senate to the exclusion Of everything
else. 1t is intimated that if there is
any disposition TO prolong the debate a
move viii be made for extra hours and
longer sessions. The Democratic sub.
committee will consider the bill for a
short time tomorrow morning before the
full committee meets. The bill, which
was sent to the printer last night, will
be changed in some particulars before
it Is finally submitted. AS it stands
now there are three propositions
which have not been wholly
agreed to, and whatever is done
will neces3itate alterations. But,
as showing how near complete
the bill is, one member of the Subcom-
mittee said tonight that he saw no
rea son why it should not be reported
tomorrow; that the full committee
would not change single thing, even
to the dotting OF an SIP or crossing of
IT" He thought that no prepared re-
port would be made on the bill by the
committee, the bill itself standing for
report. The Democrats will offer to
allow the Republicans week in which
to submit their views, either in the form
of bill or report. 1t is not believed
that the Republicans Will consent to
report npon the bill tomorrow, and this
may interfere with the Democratic pro-
gramme and delay tha reporting OF the
bill. The Democratic members of the
committee do not attempt to conceal the
feeling they have that the caucus called
for tomorrow morning at the same time
the committee meets is antag oniStic to
the benefit of some Of the features Of
the bill. 1t is said to be unlik ely that
any members of the finance committee
will attend the caucus. Fri day morn

particular items could not expect to
sway the other forty"
1t is probable that whether the bill is
ordered reported to the senate or not
that the bill as submitted to the full
committee will be made public during
the day. 1t is said by a member of a
committee that several important
changes have been made in the bill as
1t came from the house. A large num-
Der of minor changes also have been
made, including changes from specific
to ad Valorem rates.

New YORK. Feb. 25.-The British
steamer Moonstone, which arrived last
night from Pernambuco, sailed from
that port Jan. 26. Capt. Lavery brings
no news of a special nature, and had
nothing to say concerning the state of
affairs at that port. The city, as already
reported, is still under martial law.
The torpedo boat Destroyer was the
only war vessel in the inner harbor. the
rest of the fleet having gone south some
time previously. The people dare not
openly express their opinions on shore,
being fearful of arrest by tie authori-
ties. The prisons are already full of
prisoners, arrested for talking on the
streets, and with others who appeared
to take sides with the rebels. Previous

laborerS, longshoremen and others were
seized and put on board these vessels to
man them. There had been no conflict
on shore. Business was fair. The peo-
