NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Feb. 1G.--The Improvement

covery in American securities in London
had strong influence on theAearly trad
ing on the exchange to-day. The higher
cables were accompanied by buying or
ders in Northern Pacific, ST. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville. This added to
the bullish sentiment. Local operators
who were free sellers yesterday changed
front and their purchases had much to
do with the advance of ! PAP 1.2 which
followed. Sugar was the feature and
figured for %, 700 shares in IL grand total
of 11G,JS9 shares. The price opened ut
112, rose IA IS, and left off at ia 3.S.
The result of the LcXow committee inves
tigation up to date has been to create IL
bullish sentiment on ti.c stock. a rumor
that Il decision in the Wooson- Arbuckic
case will be in favor Of the sugar company
led to purchases.

date for the assembling of the confer
ence agreed upon. 1t is therefore i'm por-
tant that the preliminary work should be
entered upon as early as possible, if any
thing is to be accomplished in that direc-
tion by this Congress.
The situation is just this. The regular
session OF Congress will not begin until
December and will not get regularly to
work until after the New Years holidays.
ANY business which is postponed for that
session can hardly get under way before
the middle OF the winter of 1898. In the
pressure OF the other business that will
be upon the House there will then be a
difficulty in getting any monetary legisla-
ton adopted by that body before spring,
and as it will then have to 60 to the Sem
ate, it may be late in. the summer before
any action is taken at all.
The result will be that the Republican
party will have to face the people in the
campaign of 1898 with one of its most i'm
portant pledges unfulfilled. 1t needs no
great political sagacity to see that such
neglect would be tactical bunder of the
worst kind. Some immediate action on
the silver question is therefore impera-
tive. The House should put an end to it's
idle adiournments and meet to do
hpsiness
