Senator Sherman proposes MAX
ing a set speech at on early day to
show how ridiculous that portion of
the President message which treats
of finance really is. . Speaking on
the subject, Senator Sherman said:
"From January /, 1880, when we
resumed specie payment, until Mr..
Cleveland assumed the Office of
President there was no difficulty in
maintaining the gold reserve. Dur
ing that period it never cost one
dollar to get all the gold necessary
for the reserve fund. Gold patu-
rally came into the treasury in ex-
change for United States notes or
other forms of money. At one
period when l was secretary of the
treasury | bought sixty millions Of
gold for sixty millions of silver
certificates. No difficulty could
haye arisen at this time except for
the fact that by the Wilson German
tariff bill duties were so reduced as
to be insufficient to pay the current
expenses of TIE government"

SEED DISTRIBUTION.
Secretary Morton and congressman May
Clash on the Subject.

Clash on the Subject.
Washington, Dec. 9.-There bids fair
to be an interesting contest in this con-
gress between Secretary of Agriculture
Morton and the members who have
agricultural constituencies over the
distribution of seeds.
By virtue of an opinion rendered last
summer by Attorney-General Olney,
the secretary has practically done away
with the time-honored system of seed
gratuities to the public. Since his
course was made public members have
been planning to take action to compel
the secretary to carry out the law ac-
cording to their Interpretation of it,
which was made plain in the course of
a long debate on the question by the
last house.
In anticipation of the congressional
request for an explanation which was
initiated by Mr.. Baker of New Hamp-
shire the secretary of agriculture has
had printed a circular explaining his
course, which is being distributed to
members.

indicate yield 80 or 81 per cent small

movement is very slow.
Northern spinners have taken about
third less than last year. Wool has
been slightly strengthened by the Lon
don sales, but the average of quotations
by Coates Bros is only tenth of l per

463,1O0 pounds for the week. OF which
90 per cent was foreign. Manufacture
ers have much machinery idle at pres
ent and orders thus far are not encour-
aging. Dress goods are in less demand
and Atlantic all wool cashmeres were
reduced 10 per c.nt.
Iron and its products are lower. The
average of all quotations is 81. per cent
below the highest point in September,
but actual sales are frequently made be-
low quotations. Proposed combination
of lake ore producers has not yet been
effected and with the fall in the price
of iron is less probable. Rails have not
changed, while Bessemer pig has de-
clined s. and billets Sc per ton, and a
purchase of 10000 tons for San Fran
cisco from England is noticed, with a

for lake, with narrow demand, and tin
a quarter weaker, with the visible sup
ply here and abroad 29,231 tons, against
22,445 tons year ago. Anthracite coal
is weaker and sold at $3.50 here, against
$4.15 according to circular.

TURKISH DIPLOMACY.
SULTAN STILL HOLDS OUT
AGAINST THE POWERS.
Policy or Procrastination Is n Success
Not Point Gained by the Ambassa-
dors-DetaIls OF the Sivas Massacre
Armenians Starving.

Constantinople, Dec. z, via Sofia, Bull
garia, Dec. 9.-The situation here on
the question of the extra guard ships
OF the powers remains unchanged.
Statements are constantly reiterated of
the continued accord of the powers and
their unyielding determination to in
sist upon compliance with their de-
mands.
Less is heard, however, of the rumors
which were of frequent occurrence in
the early period after the demand had
been presented, that the sultan had
at length decided to grant the neces-
sary firman to permit the passage of
the Dardanelles, or even that he had
actually issued 1t. Neither is there
such explicit announcement any more
of the period which is to elapse before
a movement of the war ships of the
powers is to commence, to enforce the
demands made upon the sultan.
Since the return of H. r. S. Dryad to
Salonica Bay, no word has been heard
OF any actual order or movement to ad-
vance upon the Dardanelles. Opinion
continues divided as to whether the de-
lay in taking any action to enforce the
demands is due to fear of causing a
fanatical outbreak against the Chris
tians by the Mussulman subjects of the
sultan or to a dread of clash ensuing
between the powers themselves. The

fight of Said Pasha and his refuge in
the British embassy are the subject of
the most sensational interest, and the
almost frantic efforts made by the sui
tan to induce him to return to the
Yildiz palace, indicate his fear either
that he has lost his most powerful in
termediary that he could hope for be-
tween himself and the powers in evad-
ing the uncomfortable demands they
make upon him or the most dangerous
adversary he could fear having in coun-
sci with the powers.
Explicit instructions were again re-
ceived yesterday by all the ambassa-
doris to insist on the admission of the
guard ships, as has been stated, with
out effecting any change in the situa-
ton. Russa's hesitation has ceased. 1t
is currently reported that M. Nelidoff,
the Russian ambassador, has given the
sultan the cars message, insisting
upon the entry of the guard ships.
Authentic details have now been re-
ceiyed Of the Siyas massacre. They
show that the slaughter began on Nov.

ing. 1t is known that 1900 Armenians
and ten Turks were killed before there
was a cessation of the bloody work A

clares that the massacres were the de-
liberate work of the sultan's ven
geance for having been compelled to

THE TRADE REVIEW
SLUGGISH CONDITION OF BUSI-
NESS REPORTED.
Markets Are Crowded with Stock Bought
at Low Prices-Larger Demand Looked
For After the Holidays-The Weeks
Failures

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
Business is still sluggish, as If
gorged by excessive Indulgence OF the
appetite for buying when prices were
advancing. In nearly every branch
stocks not yet distributed to consumers
stand in the way of new orders, and
competition of a producing force
largely exceeding the present demand
puts down prices that decline, retarding
purchases yet more. After the holi-
days men look for larger demand. For
the present the springs Of new business
are running low, but enough is doing
on old orders to keep most of the works
employed in part and good proper
ton fully. Financially influences have
not hindered, and rarely has the open
ing Of session Of Congress affected
business so little.
Wheat has advanced about a cent
for the week, though Western receipts

1885, 93, against 1,SS7,737 bushels. The
best Western estimates of the crop have
been raised again. Corn comes from
farms less freely than a year ago, the
low prices hindering. but exports were
1,293,774 bushels, against 1883 last
year. Cotton has been weak again, de-
