NEW YORK. Feb. s.
The market to-day was little more than Sc
ries of bear raids followed by frequent recove-
ries which finally left prices hardly changed
from last night. The attack begun at the close
yesterday and continued in a smaller way to-
day has not provoked no long selling, and prob
ably the outstanding short interests increased
Unsettled fluctuations characterize the indus
trial stocks, especially in Sugar, which was
swayed by many, and contradictory reports as
to the probability of amendment to the tariff
schedules by the Senate finance committee. 1t
may be difficult to establish any positive tone to
speculation so long as the tariff bill is under dis
cuSsion but there is no reason for believing
that there will be important changes in the VIII
son bill, except on the line of more conserva-
tism. General business will move cautiously
while legislative conditions remain undecided,
but the indications still point to an improving
tendency The agitation of the silver question
in Congress is unfayorable in its influence, but
if is not probable that any disturbing measure
will become law. Railroad earnings Will be
watched closely from now on, but as unsatlS-
factorv returns are generally expected, the ef-
feet of anv more favorable showings will be the
better appreciated. 1t seems wise in the unset
tied condition of legislative matters at Washing
ton. and the absence of outside INTEREST," in the
market to pursue prudent policy in opera
lions. But unless the revival which is slowly
taking place in trade and industry shall receive
an unlocked for check WeNdo not believe that
the bear faction will achieve more than temper
ary successes On any reaction we are still in
clined to advise discriminating purchases.

Selling Gold.

During Wall Street'sgoldspecu
ton era when gold was at a high
premium and importers were pur-
chasing the yellow metal to pay
duties on imports the government
had accumulated a surplus at one
time of gold above what was neces-
sary to pay interest on the bonds
of some forty million dollars. If
the secretary of the treasury had
offered that gold for greenbacks at
par it would have broken the gold
market and brought the greenbacls
all over the country to par, but the
secretary Of the treasury was on the
side gold gamblers as every one of
them have been for the last 80
years, and he assisted them to pro
long their netarious business by
selling the gold to the importers at
the market premium. This act
was a most infamous betrayal Of
the trust conlided to his hands.

Road Mending

The road members have got to
work repairing the roads which will
be apt to insure plenty of mud if
the winter or fall should bring
rainy weather. Repairing roads,
after harvest is in most eases a waste
of money. In May is the time for
road mending and that is the season
of all others farmers cannot take
the time to devote to the roads,
which is one of the most potent
reasons for taking the business of
road mending entirely out of the
hands of farmers. Tens of thousands
of dollars have been wasted by this
miserable system or want Ofsystem.
This waste will continue till the
practice is abandoned and a sensible
system is inaugurated. This will
never be till the roads are located
by competent engineers, laid off in
sections, and specifications giving
details of grade, materials to be used
and the manner the work shall be
done. Armed with such necessary
information the county commits
sioners could let the roads by con
tract to men competent and pre-
pared to do such work. Having
specifications on which to base CON
tracts, the contractors would be
bound to do the work exactly lis the
specifications require This is the
plan adopted by all corporations
which build railroads, turnpikes,
tramways or any manner of roads.
And there is no other sensible or
economical way such work can be
done. One survey and the specifica-
tons would be all that would be
required for years.
