THO PRESIDENT AND TnE NOM
DEAL,

DEAL
Mr. ]. ]. spToul. writing from Tay-
Tor. objects to the severity OF The Ca
Eette's criticisms OF the late bond trans.
action OF. tho government and OF MIR.
ClevelHnd'B connection herewith. He
thnks that:
"A great newspaper should manu-
faoture ard lead public sentiment, and
not pander to tho hasty lll-temper OF
hnlt-witted people In distressing times
IKE these. Amy newspaper of any par
W forfeits lite right 70 public confidence
when II aasails the honesty or In any
way impeaohes tho integrity Of any
chief executive OF those United States"
1t is tho misfortune OF MIR. sproui
and of the people OF Texas in general
that there Ia but ono daily newspaper
In the state that has admitted 70 Its
columns the facts concerning the Cleve-
Iand-Rothsohild bond deal. There is a
vast deal OF ouclSooiam In Texas daily
Journalism, and 1t Ia not unnatural that
Mr.. sproul should be astonished to dis
cover criticism of any action of Prsai-
dent Grover Cleveland In a Texas morn
ing newspaper.
We will, for the benefit of Mr.. sproui,
of this bond transaction.
The president made a secret sale OF
government bonds TO a syndicate head
ed by the Rothsehilds without giving
the public a chance. as is the custom,
to bid for the bonds
He sold the bonds to the RothsohIld
syndicate at 10 Ia cents ON the dollar
less than their market value at the
time of the sale. Less than one week
after their sale by the president in re-
Spouse to call by the syndicate. there
were bids aggregatlng over $500, 900, 900
by American and English capitalists,
attesting this fact.
The commission In profits paid to the
Rothschilds and their allies In this
transaction was over s7.5OOOOo. when
$4,000 would have been an extrava-
giant allowance for brokerage.
The Transaction was negotiated by
the presidents late law partner.
These constitute the main features Of
the bond deal No comment OF The
Gazette is needed to emphasize It's dis.
creditable features. The Gazette is a
Democratic paper but first It Il for
the honor and dignity OF tho republic.
There is. We almost regret to say, no
other incident in Its executive history
that parallels. this in wantonness OF
disregard OF ordinary prorrieties.
Our correspondent attributes The Ca
Eet,e's criticisms to antagonism to the
president The New York World ala
more than any othor journal in 1889 to
secure the denomination and reelection
OF Cleveland. 1t has been his fast
friend and is. an advocate OF the gold
standard. This is wnat It has to say
Of tho late bond deal;

criticiae tho late bond operation are

Al all markets pig iron has been
quiet, and elsewhere as at Pittsburg,
structural orders account for large
share OF the new business reported,
though activity In wire. wire rods and
barbed wire still continues. Bar iron
Is firmer at Pittsburg. but without
change In quotations, and on the whole
the reduced consumption in January
does not seem to more than have
matched the production. In the minor
markets there Is more business 10 lake
copper at 50. 60 and forced sales have
depressed lead to S3.0l Tin In also
weaker at $500, with heavy importa-
lions. The market for cotton goods is
fairly active and the demand improves
In some grades, but Is on the whole
decidedly disappointing, though this
week there has been no sensational re-
duction in prices, Undoubtedly the
accumulation OF goods continues and
Is the most dangerous feature OF the
trade. The sales OF wool at the three
chief markets during the past month
have been 70, 203,6 $50 pounds, against
iS,4ti,l3l last year and %, $4,000 for
the same week two years ago, and
while the mills making low grade goods
are fairly supplied with orders, It Is a
most unwholesome feature that numer-
Gus cancellations are reported. indicat-
ing that-the goods supplied at eXcep-
tionally low prices do not meet the
expectation OF buyers.
ON the other hand, the demand for
goods OF better grade seems little
better than expected.
Failures for the past week have been
$50 In the United States. against 26i
last year, and in Canada IS. against AZ

r. q. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade, which Issues tomorrow. will say
No gold goes out. though sterling eS-
change has risen close to the exporting
point. and It does not appear that the
syndicate has yet made any effort to
control the exchange market London
has sold about 10000 shares OF stock
during the week, and the market Is
distinctly lower for railway shares,
though shade stronger for trusts.
Tho stock market waits abjectly for
London. and foreigners thus far show
more disposition to sell than to buy.
Withdrawals OF gold by redemption Of
legal tenders have not ceased. but
since the closing of the syndicate con-
tract have averaged about 100000 per
day.
Wheat Ia 1 1-2c higher, but clearly
not because western receipts are trliie
less than a year ago, but because vN-
ports are small. Spasms OF actlvity
must be expected during every season,
and when prices are at the bottom
such spasms can only mean nm i'd
vance. Nothing Is seen to Justify any
material rise, as supplies In sight do
not decrease more than they would
naturally on account OF bad weather.
Corn is only a shade higher, with
western receipts much smaller than
last years.
Cotton dropped n week ago to 5.58c.

crn classification was adopted, ana has
not yet risen. though the talk Of u

however, also somewhat affected by the
absence OF the expected gold shipments
and by the approaching adjournment
~ congress.
The closing Of the subscription for
the new four per cent government loan
with applications on this side Of the
ocean for about $500 0OO,OOO and the
fact that bidders received only small
proporiion OF the amounts asked for,
mas. Of course. been one Of the chief
matters OF interest Its cnect on the
market. has, however, been neutralized
by the unexpected strength Of eN-
change and the probability that gold
might be taken from the treasury and
shipped abroad even before the syndi
cate had carried out Its bargains The
exchange was certainly nervous and
strong with ratcg at a level which
would allow " gold shipments, At the
same time II is evident that the syndi-
cate controls the situation and that
while Il connot prevent rates from
rising It is able for some time TO come
TO check shipments OF specie.
London was not disturbed by the
action of exchange here, but took the
passing Of the Canadian Pacific diyi-
dcnd as another reflection on American
securities. This, or course was unjust
as the stock has never been Il favorlte
