Europe and Asia. AS a matter of
speculation, therefore, this silver sit

uncertainties. Employers are encour

NOTEWORTHY REALIzINGs

here on London account; there is some
buying of our gold-bearing bonds and
also of the cheaper speculative stocks;
but these transactions are not large
enough to make themselves felt in
the foreign exchanges. On the whole,
it may be concluded that the atti-
tude of London towards American in
vestments has undergone a distinct
improvement. The late unusual fluc-
tuations in the price of silver have at
itracted considerable attention. The
ups and downs have been largely
speculative; but it is not easy to salts
factorily explain the motives of the
speculation. The movement has been
chilly confined to London, and has not
caused any important operations here,
the supply on the market being too
small to admit of large transactions.
The prospects of a bimetallic conven-
ton being called naturally suggests
to some the hope of a nearer ap-
proach being made to the settlement
of the silver question. The price, too,
has, for some time, been exceptionally
low; and, in some quarters, it is be-
lieved that the product of the metal
is declining; but on that point there
is considerable difference of opinion.
Again, many take it for granted that

NEW YORK, April NATURALLY
there has been during the past week
some reaction from the revived ac-
tivity and the advance in prices pre-
vailing within the two preceding
weeks. Some considerable realiz-
ing has been done in the stocks
which had advanced most, and for
the moment there is a disposition to
let prices settle upon a new natural
level. 1t is not, however, to be
hence inferred that the revival of the
speculative spirit has exhausted
itself in. the late recovery. 1t means
simply that the market is still con-
servative and disposed to treat
stocks on their merits rather than
force an advance of prices by mere
manipulation. The important adj
vances have been mainly in a few
stocks subject to special improve
ments in their condition. There still
remains the large mass of grangers
and Southern and Southwestern
shares, which have participated but
nominally in the recovery of prices.
and besides those a miscellaneous
group of low-priced stocks. The
market has undergone none of the
evening-up that usually attends an
active movement in a set of spe-
cialties. And yet it seems reason
able to anticipate such a process.
For, in the first place, it is now
evident that the
SPECULATIVE SPIRIT
has sufficiently recovered to follow
an upward movement, and in the
next place there are distinct condi-
tions that warrant the expectation,
of an early Improvement in the bust
ness of the railroads at large. The
spring rains in the wheat sections
have laid the basis for good crops,
and that in various ways tends to
improve prospects OF. Western traffic.
The marked improvement in trade
conditions referred to below also
lays the basis for an enlargement
in tonnage of the kinds that pay
the higher rates of freight. Thus
we must now be close upon a stage
of Improvement in the earnings of
the roads at large, and one or two
weeks of increases in the weekly
statements of traffic would give a
strength to this expectation that
could hardly fail to make a recov-
cry. of prices general throughout the

pressed their opinions in two days!
With this magnificent showing Is
not too early to predict glorious sue

instigated the cowardly theft OF the old

their act would prevent the pressnta-

COMMISSIONER INQUIRE

says He Is Pleased With the Decision
Fish Commissioner Mcclure, who has
been on a vacation at Long Beach, spent
few hours in town yesterday, taking
the evening boat for Portland.
To an Astorian representative he eX-
pressed himself as we'll pleased with the
decision OF the supreme court on the
salary question and stated that he was
personally out many hundred dollars for
expenses incurred In travelling and en-
forcing the laws.
Mr.. Mcclure called attention TO the fact
THAT after the tenth inst the laws of the
concurrent jurisdiction were effective and
officers of either state might make ar
rests on the shores of the other.
In speaking of the article in the Ore
gonian of the 9th regarding the Indian
difficulties, he said that Vt put him in
the light of ridfcule and was not in ac-
cordance with his position or ideas upon
the subject. He claims that Indians have
no more right to fish, under the cir
cumstances, than others, and he was
simply engaged in seeing the law OBJ
served.
The immediate matter calling Mr.. Me-
Guire to Portland is the case against
Metzger, THE hide and wool dealer of
that city, for handling deer skins unlaw-
fully. 1t was discovered thai the animals
were wanItonly slain, the skins taken and
the carcasses left to rot. The suit Is
test case and the decision will be looked
forward TO with some interest.
