THE POSTAL CONGRESS.

Indications That Committee Reports
Will BE Conservative In C6afncter.
The only commission Of the postal con-
gress In session today was that having
under consideration money orders and the
proposition to make post ,Offiees receiving
places for subscriptions to newspapers. The
commission was still engaged settling the
preliminaries of the questions. preparatory
to taking them up as a whole
There seems to be no likelihood of an
carly reassenrbling of the congress as
body because neither OF the three commits
sions have reached conclusions on any
of the subjects under discussion of a def
mite character enough to make a report
II Is said that the knowledge of the eX-
istence of an antagonistic element of great
power in the congress will prevent the ma

would like, and that the reports will be
drawn. as far as possible. with view of
meeting approval when presented for final
action. 80 a.
Many of the delegates who would oppose
to the last moment some of the reports
that have been expected have let 1t become
known that conservative action upon the
vital propositions affecting the future of
the postal union would meet their appro-
baton. and 1t is believed that this course
will be taken to prevent trouble. which. it
Is asserted by some high authorities, might
dead to a partial cisintegration Of the

1t is a matter of general knowledge that
threats have been made by the representa-
tives of both England and Belgium during
recent committee meetings. that their coun-
tries would withdraw from the Postal
Union II certain questions. especially those
affecting intermediate and maritime trans
pOrtation were settled In a way to sert-
ously affect their respective interests. and
it is consequently believed that reports on
all subjects Win be made with a view of
securing the favorable consideration OF
the congress.

NEW YORK, May 15.-A proper regard
for the possibilities of next weeks Cuban

duction of speculative risks this morning
Traders were in undisputed control of
prices and made every effort to force
more genel al recognition of the significance

Rumors that the administration would
take a somewhat advanced attitude on the
subject of the Cuban insurrection were
freely circulated, but lacked confirmation.
Sentiment was mainly opposed to improve
mert in the general list. but. except in one
or two instances. the volume of business
precluded important net charges
The international and granger shares
were freely sold by the room. In the belief
that they would be especially sensitive to
legislative action. Should executive action
be postponed the street Is assured that res
olutions Of some sort equal to the require
me nts of a traders turn will be passed by
a; least one branch of Congress
In conservative circles the belief in ma
tertally lower prices does not exist. The
market has frequently during the present
weed demonstrated its stubborn resistance
and TIE belief prevails that II left TO the
influence of natural causes higher prices
would result. 1t does not follow. how
ever. that Immediate activity is essential
to future profit.
The coming week may eliminate the evils
OF patriotic demonstrations in the interest
