WEEKLY MARKET lErrER.
Downing, Hopkins& s Company's Review
of Trade.

OF Trade.
Buyers of wheat have been slaughter
ed this week and many holders have
loosened their grip on hitherto we'll
held lines, believing rs they did, in
the many crop reports telling of damage
in the Southwest, and more particularly
in stories from Indiana and Eastern
Missouri. Their faith appears TO have
been misplaced They received no as.
sistance from the general public, and
people who are chronic sellers saw the
opportunity and persistently fought
the campaign, and their efforts have
met with success. The result has been
severe liquidation of the previously
existing speculative interests, and there
can but be little doubt that the mar
ket at the close of the week is more
nearly evened up than at any time in
several years past. Wheat has lacked
good cash demand for some time, and
without 10 there is only the conclusion
to be drawn that value should decline.
The fact that red wheat commands a
high premium has not had the slight
est effect in preventing or even staying
the depression that set in early in the
week and which caused loss of cents
in the future deliveries and proper
tionate break in the cash grades. A
great many inclined to the belief that
the break was due to manipulation and
not from legitimate causes. This theory
is rather doubtful and can be ques-
toned. The market is always more or
less subject to manipulation, but to the
extent of the decline that has occurred
this week does not seem probable We
are of the opinion that the current
weakness is due to disappointment with
the rate of -four consumption, which
is smaller than had been expected, and
with the larger arrivals than had been
looked for, and, although the public is
suffering this disappointment, it has no
need to despair, for, at the slow rate Of
current consumption, the world ends
the crop season lower in supply than in
any season before since the price was 80
cents bushel for an average of sea-
son.
For various reasons it is apparent
that the present price is to be tempof.

TARIFF SUGGESTIONS.
Senators Gave Their Views to the Sen,
ate Subcommittee.

SENATORS OANe 1neff views to the sen.
( ate Subcommittee.
Washington, April 17.-The Repub-
lican subcommittee of the senate COM
mittee on finance held an all-day session
at the capitol to afford an opportunity
to other senators to make suggestions
/ on the tariff bill. Among the senators
/ who called and had conferences with
! the committee were Messrs. Quay,
Sewall. Elkins, Platt, Wellington, Per-
kins, Shoup, Pritchard, Baker and
Harris of Kansas
Senator Quay urged a rate of duty
upon carpets and mating, which would
! insure protection to the industries of
this country against the products of
China and Japan.
Senator Perkins was given an ex-
tended hearing on the fruit schedule.
He presented the committee with sam
Piles of both California and foreign cur
rants and raisins, and asked for an
increase of the rate on Zante currants,
bringing it up to az cents per pound.
He also suggested duty of | cent
pound on oranges and lemons, instead
of three-fourths of a cent, as fixed by
the Dingley bill.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Perkins by
some of the members of the committee
that the fruit schedule had already been
attacked, and the rates charged to be
too high, but the California senator
contended for thorough protection.
MIR. Perkins suggested substitute
schedule on beet sugar, providing for
duty of cent pound on sugar testing
10 by the polariscope and increasing to
IL cents for the 80 per cent test. The
committee promised to give this matter
due attention, but gave no further indi-
cations Of the probable result of its de-
liberations.
A more pronounced favorable recep-
tion was given to suggestion for
drawback duty on imported tin cans, in
which fruits and salmon are exported.
This suggestion appeared to meet with
favor.
Senator Sewall's suggestions per-
tanned to almost the entire list Of New
Jersey manufactures, and he filed briefs
bearing upon all of them. He present.
ed request of the silk manufacturers
for uniform so per cent ad vaIorem
duty.
Senators Baker and Harris asked for
duty Of 81 per ton on gypsum, and for
decrease of the duty proposed on
Mexican cattle. They reported that
there were immense beds of gypsum in
the West, sufficient to supply the wants
of the entire country. With reference
to cattle importations, they represent
ed that the cattle We're needed to con-
sume the grass crop of the West. and
that it was more economical to move
the cattle than the grass,
Senator Elkins and Senator Yelling 4
ton appeared in support of the Dngley
tariff rate on coal, which there is an
effort to have reduced.
During the day, number OF the Re-
publican senators from the inter-
mountain states met to agree upon a
plan OF cooperation. They reached no
definite conclusion, except to stand to-
gether in their demands on wool, hides,
cattle, lead ore and otheE Rocky noun
tain products.

Gladness Comes

WITH better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts--gentle efforts-pleasant efforts--
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is wiiy 1t is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t Is therefore
all important, In order to get it's bene.
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If In need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
led andgives most general satisfaction.

was infringing upon executive business.
Upon which Morgan replied that if this
was so he was SHINING most grievously,
for his recollection was that the seal of
secrecy had been removed and everything
e!ating to the Clayton -Bulwer report had
been printed for the information of the
Senate and the public.
Hale (R.) of Maine explained that until
this afternoon neither be nor any of his
associates had known anything about this
complaint OF the Government OF Near
aqua.
Neither did l. said Morgan, with ID uch
emphasis. he repeated his assertion
thati if tn bill were recommitted and the
arbitration treaty were ratified the United
States would be shut out and he intlmated
that the delay asked by this Rodriguez
protest was instigated by Great Britain, a
country which never failed to push its
way, but had one glorious characteristic
in that it never failed to protect its sub
jects, whereas the graves OF Cuba were
filled with those who had died simply be-
cause they were American citizens and
their Government had failed to protect
them.
Morgan concluded by saying he wanted
| to hear the Senator who would move to re-
commit this bill.
Replying by indirection to this chal-
lenge. Hale (R.) of Maine suggested that
the Senate should adjourn until to-day,
| so as to give an opportunity for obtaining
| further lnformati n before the motion to
recommend was made
Morgan reported that he hoped in such
cases the Senator from Maine (Hale)
would make the application 10 Secretary

CABINET GOSSIP FROM CANTON.
Judge Nathan Gof sits the President
Elect and Has Very Satisfdc-
forv lnferyjew

CANTON, OHIO, Jan. 22.-Judge Nathan
Golf of West Virginia left for that place
this evening. He said: "My visit has
been a charming and satisfactory one. I
had not seen Major Mckinley for several
years. and we had a good many things
besides politics to talk about. In politi-
cal way our discussion was pretty e1haus-
tive concerning the Southern situation.
Major Mckinley is looking remarkably
well and is in the best of spirits
"Are you in the Cabinet?" was asked.
81 cannot say that l am," answered
Judge Golf.
The understanding here is that Judge
Golf will be rendered portfolio and that
he will accept. At present his status In
respect to the Mckinley administration is
not unlike that OF Ex-Governor Long of
Massachusetts and Judge Joseph Nc
Kennn of California. Judge Golf will
PROBABLY be either Attorney General or
Postm master-General.
Ex-Governor Cheney of New Hampshire
and S. M. Weld and Charles Fl. DoIton of
Boston talked with Major Mckinley to-
day about 7. jefferson Coolidge of Boston
for the Cabinet. but there is no reason for
supposing that the New England member
of the Cabinet will not be Ex-Governor
Long of Massachusetts.
A new Cabinet possibility was suggested
by c. L. Magee, who stated that the
friends of P. c. Knox of Pittsburg would
suggest to Major Mckinley the expedi-
ency of making him Attorney General.
Mr.. Knox is a successful lawyer of large
means who is eminent in his profession.
Mr.. Magee said he did not come to Canton
TO discuss the Cabinet and remarked that
while he was personally friendly to
Charles Emory Smith he would have to
support Mr.. Knox, the local Cabinet pos
siDility.
There has been much speculation here
to-day regarding the New York member
of Major McKinley's Cabinet, and the
suggestion has been made that the Presi-
dent-elect may decline to appoint any
one from that Stale If the factional pres
sure is too fierce.
Congressman F. II. Wilson OF Brook
lyn was to-day suggested for the navy
portfolio.
Lyman J. Gage, the Chicago ban ker, has
not been off red the treasury portfolio,
and aside from the fact that he is one of
many who are being considered by the
President-elect, there is as yet no suffi-
cient reason 10 think he will be.
Miss Helen Mckinley, sister of the Presi-
dent-elect, fell on slippery sidewalk this
afternoon and broke her arm.
