FINANCE AND TRADE
Dizziness Dominated All Depart
ments in Wall Street.
BANKERS WILLING 10 DEPOSIT GOLD
Looking for an Advance in
Stocks.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 9.-The transac-
tons in railway shares this morning were
ccrfired almost exclusively to the room,
hut the main features Of the situation con-
thued to reflect improvement. Dizziness
was dominant in all departments. the natu-
raj outcome of the procrastinating features
of the bord issue.
Bankers are somewhat concerned over
the depletion Of the treasury's meager sup
ply of gold by individuals believing in the
allotments of small bords
The banks are willing to deposit as much
gold as can reasonably be spared to coun-
teract the effect of such Withdrawals. but
the coin available for this purpose is ex-
tremely limited in amount. The time limit
is generally conceded to be of unnecessarily
large proportions, as 1t holds all specula-
tive and investment enterprises i'm abey-
ance during the active contract-making
period or the year. Financial institutions
have recently sustained large losses in
cash holdings, and are not disposed to as
sumo extensive liabilities. while the present
doubtful situation continues.
The tension of a week ago has been ma
terially relieved, but caution IL pro-
nounced feature of all large transactions.
The demand for money is reduced by the
same causes which inspire its cautious
lending, and all that is needed for specula-
tive purposes is to be had at rates ranging
from to 8 per cent.
Inc action OF the market during the last
two days has encouraged a belief in the
probabilities of an advance on the an
nouncement of the success of the new loan.
In the meantime a dull hesitating market
confined within narrow limits is all that In
likely.
Manhattan was an active feature OF .hs
day on sales by interests recently identified
with the larger operations on the opposite
side of the market. The customary ru-
mors of unsatisfactory earnings due to the
competition of surface lines accompanied
the decline
st. Paul was well supported, in spite of
sales of upward of 5000 shares for London
account. The buying of this stock has of
late been largely superior in character to
the selling, the average operator regarding
1t as the logical leader OF the market upon
the restoration of normal conditions.
Rumors Of further decline in the price
OF English consols were responsible for an
effort to depress local prices, but the move
ment was abandoned after several unsuc-
cessful attempts. The market for foreign
exchange is practically unchanged in its
main features There is no special de-
mand from remitters. and the supply Of
bills is well up to the recent average.
The industrial shares attracted fair VOL
ume of business as the result of special con-
ditions. Sugar was strong on buying in
on the tariff BILL and the several leather is
sues were depressed en- rumors of no diyi-
dends.
The market acts as we'll as any market
could be expected to when condemned to
inactivity, and purchases on concessions
have a trifie the hest Of all prevailing
arguments.

THE HOUSE.

An echo of the Associated Press dis
patches from Venezuela was heard in the
House today. AS soon as the journal had
been read Mr.. Livingston ga )-sent to the
clerks desk and had read the following
resolution:
Be 1T resolved by the House of Represen-
tatives, the Senate concurring, That the
President of the United States is hereby
requested to forthwith ascertain whether
Great Britain is advancing her outposts on
the territory in dispute between her colony

fore established with troops. police or ord
nances, and should the President become
coSnizant of the fact that British military
or police force is advancing to invade or
reinforce, or since the 18th day of Deem
Der last has invaded or reinforced posts
formerly occupied within said disputed ter
ritory, he demand the immediate with
drawal CT said soldiers and the reduction
of the police force in said territory to not
a greater number than occupied the British
cutposts on the aforesaid 18th of Deem
Der, 1895.
No Explanation Allowed.
Mr.. Livingston asked for unanimous con-
sent to make a brief explanation of the
resolution, but Mr.. Boutelle (Me.) objected,
and the resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on foreign affairs.
December II is the date upon which the
President sent his Venezuelan message to
the House.
A favorable report was made by Mr.
Bingham Pa.) from the committee on ap-
propriations of resolution recently intro
duo ed by him asking the Secretary of the
Treasury for information as to why the
construction of the new Philadelphia mint
building had been delayed. The resolution
was agreed to.
Mr.. Brumm Pa) corrected statement by
a Philadelphia paper that he had lodged"
a vote on the recent bond bill, explaining
that he had been called home by the ILL
ness of son, and asked colleague to ex-
plain that he would have voted for the bill
if present.
Mr.. Henderson Qowa) gave notice that
the report of the committee on rules of the
House would be called up tomorrow, and

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md, January 9.-The arrf-
val of Mr.. George NJ. Russum of Caroline,
this morning, completes the roster of
prominent senatorial aspirants. Messrs.
Wellington, Westcott and Mullikin have
opened headquarters, and when not at the
state house their rooms are thronged.
The presence of Wellington has greatly
solidified the sentiment against the repeal
of the eastern shore, law, and not few
heretofore have not identified themselves
to any degree with either the movement to
ignore or sustain the law have arraigned
themselves against the Allegany county
nan. Coupled with this is the opposition
Of Speaker Mudd, and the likelihood Of
the vote of the Gary faction being thrown
soldly to some shore candidate.
The publication of a statement attrib-
uted to the governor, in which he declares
himself as favoring Congressman Yelling
toms election, aroused considerable COM
motion today. and deputation called on
Mr.. LowndeS to gain authoritative
statement from him.
He received the delegation, and defined
his attitude as follows: Il am a personal
friend of Mr.. wellington. and If the can
didate is to come from the western shore
would naturally prefer him. 1 have never
said 1 was opposed to the eastern shore
law. I would not use the patronage of this
office to further my own personal ambi-
ton, or of any other man in the state.
Il would respect the wishes of the dele
gates from the different counties in regard
to appointments without regard as to how
they voted On the senatorial question:
The admirers of Mr.. James A. Gary have
apparently transferred their strength to
MIR. Charles T. Westcott of Kent, with the
understanding. however. that in the event
of Mr. Gary's signifying a serious inten-
ton of entering the fight, they will reas-
semble in his behalf.
Mr.. Phillips Lee Goldsborough of Dor
chester is also in town, and, although he is
making no conspicuous struggle to win
votes, he unquestionably has his lightning
rod in place, and in the minds of not a few
will be able to command quite a following.

CRESPO WILL NOT YIELD.
Will Not Separate the Uruan From
the Boundary Dispute.

LONDON, January "a letter from Car
acas. Venezuela. to the London Times says
it is evident that it is the present intention
Of President Crespo not to give any salts
faction for the Uruan incident, and that he
is determined to combine the Uruan and
frontier questions, regarding them as one
dispute.
The Times correspondent adds that this is
directly contrary to President Crespo's pre-
yious assurances to him, and he reeites at
length how the change was brought about
by President Claveland's message to Con-
gress, and arrives at the conclusion that by
some hook or crook President Crespo and
his friends intend to entangle the United
States, and that they will not leave a stone
unturned to accomplish this end

1t may be that the players In the
First Regiment team believed when
they went on the diamond on Saturday
that they would win the game. Nobody
else did. There had been changes made
In the nine, but too late for the new
members TO practice to any advantage.
Baker, the new catcher at the game the
week before, was made captain of the
nine, and he promptly detailed him
self to look after the first bag. Cunha,
the portly young man who composes
difficult compositions for the piano,
rides a wheel and plays tennis with
equal facility, was put behind the bat

young man on the eye and he went
home But Saturday it was different.
When he started to knock flies for the
boys he did it with wonderful. ease, the
highest tap on the ball sent 1t TO the
fence. Mr.. Cunha was looked upon as
hot stuff, and at the end of the first
inning he was written down ''phe-
nom"
Woods either did not equal his game
Of the week previous or the boys were
on to his down shoots. The Stars got
him for eleven base hits. Patsy Gleason
at third was valuable addition to the
team as a fielder and batter. When he
went TO the plate he was sure for a
base hit or more, and during the game
got one three-bagger.
The Star team played quite as good
a game as usual, but they met better
nine than they have been accustomed
TO play against this season. In order
that they would not be weakened by the
loss Of players going to the bike races,
the game was delayed until 4 O'Clock.
In the first inning Willie Wilder hit
to short and the ball was thrown TO
Baker at first and fumbled long enough
to let the little fellow get TO first Hart
hit TO short and went out at first. Har-
~ Wilder's hit past short brought VIII
lie home and gave him first, but in
