were unconfirmed rumors after the
close of business of additional heavy
imports impending within day or
two. 1t was announced that the
bank presidents, whose conference
was reported yesterday, had decided
that concerted action to secure gold
from Europe was not called for in
the existing circumstances. In we'll
formed circles the impression pre-
vailed that the imports of gold were
for the express purpose OF atfording
much needed financial relief to the
mercantile community. There was
also a conhict of opinion among eX-
perts as to whether the S2,000,000 en-
gagged was or was not a special
transaction.
The market was only moderately
active and prices moved irregularly

Railroad bonds were irregular with

toward the close was downward. The
sales were S538,000. Silver certificates
were steady on dealings OF $4,000.

New York. August 20.-The cotton
market opened steady at 4Q5 points
decline on the cable advicSs, which re-
ported Liverpool several points lower,
but after the opening our market paid
attention to home news. AdviceS were
very unsatisfactory from the cotton
region There were some reports OF
rain in Texas and some predictions OF
more rain. Unfavorable reports were
received from Oklahoma, and the Ala
bama Commissioner of Agriculture
reported the cotton condition the worst
in thirty years. The South was quite
a liberal buyer and the market moved
steadily upward in the afternoon,
closing at 24(d2S points net advance
and very steady.
HUBBARD BROS. 81 co.'s. LETTER.
New York, Aug. 20.-(SpG ciaD-
Showers were reported at Tyler. Texas,
and at Little Rock and Batesvflle, Ar
kansas, before the opening OF our mar
ket this morning, creating the belief
that rains were spreading Throughout
the southwest and that Texas would
soon find relief from the protracted
drought. These showers we're regarded
in liverpool, however, as only temper
airy relief and buying orders from
that market quickly advanced prices
about the quotations of last evening.
Locally the feeling has become bullish,
and little inclination exists TO antici-
pate decline from present prices des-
pite the recent showers and the large
receipts. 1t is noticeable that trading
has fallen to a small proportions after
the close of the Liverpool market,
showing that American speculation is
not in evidence as factor in the situa-
ton at present. Under the covering of
the short interest made this morning,
our market closed firm at the highest
prices of the day and year. The feeling
here continues bullish and higher
i market is looked for in Liverpool to-
morrow unless rain should fall in the
southwest during the night. Receipts
are on an unprecedented scale, but
are without influence on prices. Octo-
Der closed 8.13, last year 1886.

Speeches by Senator's Vest, Allen,
Sherman, Teller and Others.

The bitter debate came on in an appar-
emily innocent way when Mr.. Vest called
up the Dingley bill, on which to submit a
few remarks. There was no warning of
the storm to come. especially when he
stated his appreciation of the fact that he
was about to speak on dead issue. The
bill he regarded as a remarkable piece of
legislation, born Of the presidential warn
ing to Congress that the country's finances
were in such dangerous condition that
the usual holiday recess might well
be abandoned. The bill had not
come from the wool growers or
from the iron interests. The produc-
tion of tin plate. said Mr. Vest. had in
creased, Notwithstanding the decrease of 1
cent pound on tin secured by the present
law. And yet that reduction had been Sc
cured only at the point Of the legislative
bayonet.
This brought on a spirited passage be-
tween Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.. Vest. The for
mer declared that IL was Well known that
the iron schedule of the Wilson bill was
protective in character, and that if iron
and tin had been treated as other articles
had been, they, too. would have been
struck down. This production was due first
TO the original protective duties on tin and
10 that partial remnant OF duty maintained
in the present law.
THE senator from Rhode Island does not
seem to agree with the President-eIect Mr.
Mckinley, on this tin question: responded
Mr.. Vest. The senator said he had read a
recent interview with Mr.. Mckinley at
Canton. in which he said that the increased
production OF tin was due to the use of the
natural oils OF Indiana in the manufacture
of the tin plates. But Mr.. Mckinley must
be mistaken, said Mr.. Vest for he found
that Indiana had only five tin works out of
seventy-seven in operation. No" said Mr..
Vest, "this can be answered only by an a b.
solute surrender II the senator from Rhode
Island of the contention that the enormous
duties of the Mckinley law are necessary
to the domestic industries OF the United
States"
habit had no more deadly hold on its VIC
tins than this advocacy Of protection. He

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 16.-Passengers
arriving here tonight from Havana report
that Antonio Maceo is alive and we'll and
is in the province of Matanzas These pas
sengers say that all of the festivities that
were going on in Havana TO celebrate his
death have been ordered stopped since it
has become known that he is alive.
1t is also reported from Havana that on
Dec. the insurgents entered the village
of Placitas, in Santa Clara, well-fortified
point where they remained from IL o'clock
at night until o'clock in the morning
without firing a shot. They plundered all
the stores, carried away great booty and
burned a fine mixed store belonging to
Hernandez Brothers. 1t is supposed that
the officer of the patrol of the night guard,
who is the parent of the insurgent leader
Chucho Monteagudo, sold out the town,
that being the leader who entered and at
tackled the town.
The war ships Raleigh and Newark came
in this noon having failed TO find the Three
Friends The steamer City of Key West
was overhauled by the Raleigh as she was
creeping along near the shore, but the war
ship let her alone as soon as she was iden-
titled. The Spanish consul here has been
frantieally wiring to Havana about sending
a vessel to interfere with the expedition,
but it is said by the Cubans that the Ber-
muda and Three Friends can take care of
themselves. The spongers coming in to-day
say that Spanish war ships numerous in
the straits between here and Havana, three
vessels and six large launches having been
sighted.

ILLEGAL WARRANTS.
Nebraska Sugar Manufacturers Cam
not Collect state BOunties.

LINCOLN. Neb., Dec. 16.-The Supreme
Court has decided that the payment by
State Auditor Moore of some SAC, 900 in war
rants for sugar bounties to the Oxnard
Company is illegal. The opinion was writ
ten by Commissioner Irvine and was handed
down this afternoon. There was no dis
senting opinion filed. The bill passed by
the last session of the Legislature pro-
vided for the payment of 5s cent per pound
by the State as bounty for all sugar
made by new manufactures started subse-
quently TO the passage OF the law. This
bounty was made contingent on the manu-
facturers paying for sugar beets at the rate
of 50 a ton. The bill carried no appropria-
