NEW YORK Anc .

NEW AOhh. Aug Z.
The speculative wheel brought the tariff
question to the front again as factor to-
day and under the lead of sugar the market
rose sharply on coverings of shorts on the
theory that there would be no new bill at
this session of Congress. The caucus in the
House of Representatives will probably de-
termlne the chances of an agreement with
the Senate, and it looks as though a day or
two would determine that new bill can be
passed or that the whole question shall be
deferred for the present session of Congress.
In sense, even the settlement by the
abandonment Of projected legislation might
cause some revival of trade and industry.
but we do not believe that it would be per
manent as the agitation of the subject
would be maintained through the autumn
political campaign, and probably at the
winter session of Congress. On the other
hand positive settlement by the adoption
OF moderate tariff bill would prove of de
clded benefit to the country. The situation.
however, under either contingency is NOT
one to justify buoyancy or the improvements
OF business. and at the best will probably be
slow. The railway situation is complicated
by considerations as to the crops. and if
will be some time before the exact facts re-
garding the shortage of the corn yield will
be developed. 1t is encouraging to note am
easier tendency to the foreign exchanges.
but The sentiment of European capital and
the low prices of our exportable produces
are to be remembered i'll any calculations as
to the probable cessation of the outflow of
gold. Before solicitude on this score can be
iald aside it will be necessary for the state
OF the treasury's finances to show improve
mene. We are not prepared to see a radical
change IN the character of the market, and
would still counsel conservatism in ven
lures. For the present the magnitude of
the short interest affords security against
any severe decline and favorable develop
ments would stimulate a sharp rally. 1t
seems unwise to sell shorts except on bulges,
ana we believe that it is safe to buy on the
raids for quick turns.

From a window Of a crowded apartment
house situated in the business district OF
great city woman with a pale. wistful
face was looking down into the street be
low.
In spite Of her shabby black dress, there
was an aristocratic air about the tall tlc
urc which impressed one that she was
lady born. and IN the face new worn with
years ef sorrow could be detected traces of
what must once haze been a radiant
beauty.

Were rafting Hoisilv over the cobblc.
stones and groups Of small urchns were
adding to the festive din by footing Justify
on their ear splitting Christmas horns
But the pale woman at the window
neither SAW nor heard all this confusion.

not been able to spare a penny from her
small earuirgS, and this year dear faith

just then the door Was pushed open,
and her sad reterie was interrupted by the
entrance Of TWO children. a tiny girl with
