IN The WORLD Of FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS

New York, Dec. 10.-Until the Cuban
resolution agitation ut Washington is
over, prominent security holding in
terests declare that they will not commit
themselves in the market, and for this
reason spells of intense dullness are
noted. n contributory influence is the
indisposition on the part OF the bear
leaders to extend their obligations ma
tcrially while it is SO difficult to shake
out long stocks. The last mentioned
faction continues to work against the
high priced specialtes for effect upon the
general list, but is careful TO lose as few
stocks as possible i'll its operations. Re.
gartlless of other considerations the atlvo-
Gates Of higher prices for securities are
chilled by the continued unfavorable
character of the exhibits of earnings
made by II number of the Leading lines
and by the material contraction in gen
eral trade rs partly indicated by the
abnormal ease in money and scarcity of
mercantile paper. London also fails to
figure to any noteworthy extent as IL
buyer of our securities and in fact in
some shares continues IL seller.
The railway bond market was fairly
active, and with the exception of hcavi-
ness in some of the speculative issues the
tendency of prices was upward Union

County Representation.

Representation according to pop
ulation will do in some States that
are more thickly populated and
whose population is more equally
divided but here in Delaware-where
Che city of Wilmington has more
population than any county in the
State except the one III which it is
situated and whose population is
equal to half of the balance of the
population of the State-it will not
do. We, with the great majority of
the people of the State of all parties,
believe, however, that the city of
Wilmington should have her repre-
sentation in the general assembly,
increased. 1t would probably be
near the proper thing to give Will
mingtOn about the same representa-
ton that rural New Castle, Kent or
Sussex counties have. What would
probably be better still and more sat
isfactory to all would be to
allow Wilmington one representative
to each ten or twelve thousand of
population end the rural districts one
to each five or six thousand. If
representation according to popula-
tion should be embodied in the New
Constitution in a few years Will
mington would have more represen-
tation than all the balance Of the
State and she would be careful to
legislate in her own behalf as against
the interests of the State.
Such state of affairs would be
equivalent to Wilmington ruling the
balance Of the State and when such
a condition of affairs should arrive
there would indeed be a great cry
from the rural counties for the in
terests of a big city are often indeed
dlametrlcaIy opposite those OF an
agricultural community. There is
much danger, indeed, in increasing
the representation of the city of
Wilmington to any great degree. If
she is allowed one representation to
each two of population that the rural
districts are there certainly should
not be any discomfort lurking in the
breasts of our friends in Whining
ton. Allow WILMINGTON one repre-
sentative to every ten thousand of
population and all other sections one
representative to every five thousand !
and for the present at least there will
not be any danger of great moment.
