DEMOCRATS WILL SING SMALL
No Really Serious Attempt to Get Any
thing Through.

Washington, Dec. 16-Leading DEM
ocrats of the house CT representatives
say no aggressive action is anticipated
to carry out the declarations OF the re-
cent Democratic house committee on
Cuba, finance and bankruptcy. The
caucus action will be allowed to stand
as showing the policy of the minority.
1t is said, however, that IL would be
useless to force the Cuban question be-
fore the house, as the rules would not
permit the minority to bring the ques-
t;on to vote. The senate Cuban reso-
luton, which was endorsed by the eau
Gus reposes in the committee on foreign
affairs and there is no power under the
rules TO get ii from that committee.
Representative Livingston OF Georgia
has suggested that a resolution be pre-
serted directing the foreign committee
to report the Cuban resolution at once.
But this procedure will be ineffective.
as the resolution directing an immediate
report would be referred 10 the commit
tea on rules II is not doubted that
this body, representing the majority,
would not act favorably on a motion of
this character. All parliamentarians on
the Democratic side concede that it win
be impossible for the minority to force
an issue on Cuba.
They are more hopeful of giving ex-
preston &c the caucus action on finance.
The majority will doubtless bring for
ward financial measures on the line sug-
gested by the president and Secretary
Gage and the Democratic caucus policy
will be given effect by the casting OF
the solid Democratic vote. numbering
125. against these measures.
On the bankruptcy question, " Is ex-
pected that the minority will frame a
bankruptcy bill calculated to meet the
caucus declaration for a wise and just
measure OF this character. The bin when
framed viii be offered as a substitute
10 the ore TO be urged by the commit
tee on judiciary after the holidays.

DRY GOODS MARREr3

New York, Dec. 16.-The feature OF the
dry goods market Is the reduction in sta
pie cottons, which, after long delay. has
been at last made public. This has result
ed in increased buying on the part of the

prices are sufficiently low to enable would
be purchasers TO fill in depleted stocks with
out expenditure of large amounts OF mon
