ARE CONFIDENT OF A VETO
Wall Street Expects the President to
Kill Bland's Bill.
CLAIM THAT A DEAL WAS MADE
Purchasers Of the Late Bond Issue Say They
Were Assured of No Adverse Silver Legis-
lation-Railroad Reports Discouraging.
General Tone of the Market.

New YoRY. March 21.-In view of the rec
ognized narrowness of speculation, tie stub
born resistance displayed in to-day's market
was decidedly encouraging. The belief in
veto of the Bland bill is again predominant,
and for this reason traders ielt justified in
marking up prices. The conviction has be-
come so general that the bill will never be-
street will take the official announcement OF
that fact without any further demonstration
OF approval. The telegraphic dispatch au-
thorized by the President to the members oil
the chamber of commerce committee, advising
them not to visit Washington, as intended, to
advise him against signing the Bland bill, was
construed to mean that their wishes would be
respected without their presence being neces-
sary. 1t is claimed that the subscribers for
the recent government loan were assured that
in consideration of their subscription no ad-
verse silver legislation would be allowed dur
ing the present session of Congress.
In the hope of influencing the Presidents
action in the matter and to assert their claim
to consideration u committee of seventeen
was appointed to visit Washington and make
determined stand against such superficial
financial legislation. The above telegram is
considered as positive evidence that the orig
inal promises are in sate-keeping and that
neither condolences nor implied contracts will
be in the slightest degree impaired.
Railroad earnings published during the day
were not encouraging, but officials continue
to talk in most coniiden: tone and assure

in consequence of these predictions, and prices
are in many instances several points higher
than even casual examination Of their

roads as Atchison, Nashville and Northern
Pacific are manipulated SO as to disappoint
every trader who interests himself on the side
justified by their own official figures.

Of increase in both branches of traffic and
traders are generally builish on them. Bur-
lington shows surprising strength and gained
j per cent TO 81 on covering and rumors Of
an improved outlook. The gains in the re-
mainder of the regular list were not conspic-
uous and need no analysis. Sugar again was
the center Of attraction, and was extremely
erratic IN its movements.
The trading in this stock has lost all char

advices III regard to tariff changes which
hourly arrive from Washington.

NEW ASSESSMENT BILL.
C. b. Hemingway Thinks 1t VIII Only Per
petuate Unjust Discrimination.

petuate Unjust Discrimination.
To the Editor of THE TINES:
In April, 1892, select committee to investigate
tax assessments in this District appointed
by Congress. The primary return Of the assist
ant assessors as estimated by the committee,
was S272, ,635 900 and this was increase of
sI25 600 over the previous assessment, and
nearly all the increase was made after the in
vestigation began.
Afterward a board of equalization was ap-
pointed, and the law providing that the cor
rected" and "equalzed" assessment should be
not less than the original return was repealed.
The board of equalization then reduced the as
sessment about S75,0C0,000.
Nearly all of this reduction was on business
property and vacant lots, and very little of it
was on homes. The board of equalization was
practically an instrument of oppression to the
home owners.
Had the original assessment been permitted
the home owner would have had much less to
pay The market value of all real estate in
this District is about S5O0OO0,0OO. tax of one
half per cent this would raise an
amount equal to the present revenue from real
estate
a $4,000 home is now taxed $50 Business
property of same value is taxed 81 30
Vacant lots of same value are now taxed Sl5.
If all real estate was assessed at its market
value and a tax of one-half per cent. levied such
a home would have $40 less to pay; such business
property would have S12. 80 more to pay, and
such vacaut lots s35 more 10 pay.
The board Of trade assessment bill, now IA
vorably reported by the Commissioners, is a sup
stantial re-enactment of the laws under which
uate the present discrimination against home
owners. c. b. HEMINGWAY.

LithOgraphic Stones.


1t is a curious fact that, while lithography
has made immense strides in recent years,
especially since the Introduction of steam
power presses, the photographic stones used
in such great quantities all come from one
quarry at Sohnhofen. in Bavaria. Though
other quarries have been discovered. notably
in Canada. none has been found equal. in
compactness of grain and in point of rccep-
tivity TO the touch of the artist pencil to the
Bavarian stone. Neither. it is said, are the
stones now imported equal to those obtained
thirty years ago. Nearly all the lithographic
artists prefer to draw upon a repoished old
stone rather than on a newly quarried one.
The present cost Of the best slnis is about
twenty-five cents a pound, and they weigh as
high as 800 pounds. Philadelphia has always
been a strong center of the art. and an inn
mense amount of lithographic work is done
in this city for ail parts OF the country.

AGAINST BLAND'S BILL.
New York Bankers Lay Claim TO Special
Interests and Privileges.

New YORK. March 21.-The meeting of sub
scribers to the bond issue TO protest against
the seigniorage bill assembled at 1 o'clock.
There were present about twenty-five bankers.
The proceedings consisted in the approval of
a resolution citing various reasons why the
seigniorage bill should not be signed.
The resolution refers to the dangerous re-
suits OF the bill becoming a law. among which
an increase in the prevailing distrust abroad
and gold exports are prominently mentioned.
1t concludes as follows:
"Whereas, the officers of the financial insti-
tutions, firms. and corporations of New York
became subscribers to the last loan negotiated
by the government with the belief that the
marketing of the bonds would prevent the
further imitation of the currency by the coin
age of the so-called silver seigniorage and
feeling that as the loan was made a success
because of their efforts, they have claim
upon the administration for a veto of this
bill therefore be it
Resolved. That in the opinion of the rep
resentatives of the financial institutions of
New York who subscribed to the $50, 900 900
8 per cent. loan and made it success the
coinage of the seigniorage would endanger
the financial stability of the government and
would inflict upon a suffering people perni-
cious and unnecessary legislation, which
would be far-reaching in its disastrous conse-
