Allison said he was opposed to MAX
ing a River and Harbor Act out of the
sundry civil bill.
Gray of Delaware advised Allison
that he had an amendment for the i'm
provement of the harbor of Whining
ton, Del, because the factories of that
city, which were working upon army
and navy supplies, were seriously en-
barrassed by the condition of the har-
Dor.
In reply. Allison said any measure
providing necessary means for the ma
tional defense would pass both the
Senate and House promptly. He be-
lieved that if the proposed amendment
We're necessary for the national defense
it ought to be passed upon by a com
nittee of the Seante, which had that
subject directly in charge He sug-
gested, therefore, that all such amend
ments should be submitted to the prop
err committee. Meantime, he asked
that the bill be laid aside, and the
whole question went over.
At > o'clock the Senate adjourned.

Bradstreet's review will say:

"A number of favorable circum-
stances and events present themselves
this week Perhaps the most notable
of these are the renewed activity and
confidence in the iron and steel mar
ket. accompanied by prompt and even
rapid advances in several grades of
crude pig iron and steel and the ad-
vance in the price of raw cotton long
predicted, but unrealized until the
present week. What might be regard
ed as minor feature of the business
situation is quite general improve
ment in distrbutive trade and demand
in the central and South. The unfa-
Vorable features of the week are the
sloWness Of spring trade in dry goods
to develop at New York and other
Eastern centers, except Boston. Al
though the advance in cotton has been
claimed TO be too rapid. it has undoubt-
edly impaired a much more cheerful
tone TO the Southern business situation
Wheat, corn and oats are all higher,
partly on speculation, as are also lard,
pork and beef, sugar and lead. Some
makes Of WOODEN men's-wear goods are
slightly higher.
Prices of lumber, boots and shoes
and tobacco hold recent advance"

vices Caused Rea lizing.

New York, Feb. H.-Further advances
in wheat and cotton Were gratifying
| developments in the situation today,
! and a large number of railway traffic
returns. covering various periods, were
encouraging showings as a rule. The
| statement made by the Union Pacific
| Company was particularly noteworthy,
! showing increases both in the net and
| gross returns.
The weekly bank statement was pub
lished today and showed a further
large increase in loans and n decrease
in surplus reserves. Cash holdings de-
| crease 81 10000 a reflection of the COW
ering into the treasury of the Union

The banks now hold So, 49,. $50 above
the lawful requirements. Today's stock
market was irregular. A buoyant
opening was succeededIby general re-
action and the markst subsequently
varied rapidly betweeH strength and
weakness. 1t was not possible at any
time to assign deflnita reasons for the
course Of prices.
The early strength Of the market
WAS ldlBely uuS lD-lilt renewed ncaNy
purchases of stocks by foreign banking
houses. which attained an unusually
large total, but simultaneously with
this buying and subsequently out
weighing it was ihe extensive selling
by local houses, particularly those with
direct Washington connections and
hence credited with exclusive informa-
ton upon the diplomatic situation. The
press dispatches contained nothing Of
an alarming nature bearing on the situ-
alton but the character of the selling
noted led traders TO infer that addi-
tonal surprises in relation thereto
might be expected.
The double holiday ahead has the
natural tendency to restrict trading
and in the afternoon there was mark
ed decrease in activity. Trade was
large in the grangers, with Burlington
in the lead, Louisville and Nashville
was also active. These stocks followed
the general course indicated. The mar
ket closed easy.

IAvISIA STORES HER CROWN
She VIII Not Wear 1t Again Until
she Comes to Washington.

New York. Feb. 11.-Lavinia l., Queer
of the Holland Danes. who was crown.
ed with all due pomp in the Waldorf
of royalty, has placed the crown fol
safekeeping in the Manhattan storage
vaults.
Her majesty's first day was spent
chiefly in the royal palace, or rather
the St. Cloud Hotel. During the after
noon Queen Lavinia Informed Brother
Dempsey, the Lord High Chamber
lain, that she had to go to Jersey to
attend to some mortgages. Then the
fear Of losing the crown manifested it
self with the result of the storage.
Queen LaVinia expects to wear the
crown again On March 90, when the Ma
tional Society meets in Washington.
Her majesty has had another shock
by the knowledge that a number OF
tickets Of admission TO her croWnins
had been stolen and some of the vulgar
saw the grand pageant.
Mrs. w. II. Taylor and Mrs. May
Banks Stacey, who, in all preparations
for the great event, We're close con-
fidantS of the Queen, had exhausted
their supply of commands TO the
crowning. The then Miss Dempsey at
once sent sixteen tickets TO the two
ladies, but they failed to reach their
destinations. Hence ii was that they
fell into other hands. They may have
been lost or stolen.

Outside markets were all higher,
Liverpool showing an improvement of

stimulating feature for the day was the
probability of the shipment mentioned
yesterday of a large portion of the
cash wheat held by the Letter interests.
If the short interest in May is as large
as estimated shipments of any Consid-
cradle amount of wheat now in store
would give quite a bulge in prices OF
options.
The strength in wheat and prospect
of light receipts encouraged liberal buy
ing Of corn nearly 2,000 600 bushels hav-

is of course in favor of better prices for

Dun's weekly review of trade will say
today:
Business is pushing toward spring
activity rather early. Events which
nave controlled are good buying of
iron by the largest makers, the rise in
cotton with strength in goods, the great
railway consolidation, and the Cuban
insurrection. The latter with it's posi-
Dllties, operates as d brake on specula-
ton. and foolishness of local traders
gave foreigners much-desired oppor-
tunlty to buy stocks on balance about
$4,000 shares. Thus, with consolidation
of Central and Lake Shore and others

ress or in prospect mean far-reaching
changes in railway management to
which investors are not blind The de-
clslon as to Kansas Pacific also has
Importance. The output of pig iron on
February l was 229,S23 tons weekly, the
largest In the history of the business
but the reported buying of 10000 tons
Bessemer iron by the Carnegie Com
pany and 100000 by another of the
largest steel concerns nevertheless
means decision by the ablest manufac-
turers that the unprecedented output
OF pig iron will soon prove too small for
the growing demand for finished prod
ucts. Rail contracts already cover, it
is said, more than last years produc-
tion, the railways buying earlier than
usual. The expected wire association
causes some increase in purchases.

lom presented to the Senate a petition
signed by II of the leading packing
and shipping firms of Chicago, asking
for retaliatory legislation against
France, on account of the rates of duty
on importation of lard and sausage re-
Gently imposed by the government.
They state that the situation is greatly
exaggerated by the announcement that
maximum rates are to be collected in
that country on both these articles, and
this ruling will, they say, have the eff
feet of absolutely prohibiting t,e ship
ment of those articles from the United
States to France. They assert that the
maximum duty on lard is about So per
cent. adj valorem, and on sausage about
81 per cent, and that these rates are
about 300 per cent. increase over former
rates.
