The market today showed underlying
strength that was most encouraging for pur-
chasers, and as there was no sign Of any dis
turbance In the money market higher prices
were looked for. Foreign houses bought
Louisville. st. Paul and Atchison freely, and
the special from London TO Sullivan, Riley
a. Co. states that the market there is in an
excellent condition. The approach of the
Christmas holidays has not retarded the re-
viying interest in American rails They We're
particularly strong this morning at advances
extending TO y per cent, and there was ex-
cellent buying of all active issues. In Europe
the feeling prevails that Cleveland's conserva-
tive policy will rsgulate al the anticipated
troubles at Washington.
Joseph's advice today is to buy on every
bear demonstr ration against the active stocks,
and in this be IL supported by the opinions OF
most conservative spectators, 1t is also be-
heved today that the proceedings against
Manhattan are almost entirely Of a speculative
character. which, il true, would mean the early

higher merely because our present state OF
affairs is to be continued, which il what Mr..
McKinley's election means. No laws can be
passed, because the Senate is averse to so
doing, that will positively commit us, as a

DISAGREE WITH OLNEY.

press Views on Cuban Resolution.

press views On CuDan ISesoiution.
Cincinnati, Dec. 21.-The Commercial
Tribune prints the opinions Of several
senators on the question raised by Sec
retary OF State Olney In regard TO power
of congress TO recognize the indepen-
dence of Cuba.
Senator Davis says: "I think that Mr..
Olney's position is untenable. In my
opinion, congress has the power by stat
Ute or by joint resolution to recognize
the independence OF Cuba. II the presi-
dent approves the measure there can. OF
course, be no controversy. IL he disap-
proves IL. and IL Is passed over his veto,
II becomes law as effectually as IL he
had approved II. and his duty TO execute
IL is equally imperative in either case"
Senator Sherman's views are as fol-
lows: There is no foundation for the
statement that congress may not. IL 1t
will, recognize the Independence OF new
nation, nor do / think Mr.. Onley con-
tests IL, but he, thinks the matter ought
10 come from the president. II, however,
congress should pass a resolution, and
the president should veto 1t. 1t can be
passed by q two-thirds vote of each
house, aud would become a law which
the president must respect and obey"
Senator Daniels OF Virginia also dis
agrees with Mr.. Olnoy.
