It was during the civil gervice debate
ia the house over the civil service par.
agraph in the executive, Legislative and
Judiciary appropriation bill. For many
days Republican members had been ad.
yocating every possible position relative
to the civil service system and had been
lambasting each other IN truly hostile
fashion. Some mad been defending the
system, others had been decrying it
and declaring for It's destruction. and
others wanted b modification that
would make it possible to remove some
80 900 Democrats covered into the sys,
TEN by Cleveland, and to fiji their
places with Republicans. It was a
wrangle such as seldom is seen. The
Democrats had been generally content

''Lows' usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high Tn the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast rain is probable: but when the low is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is i'm probable With g ''high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Cali fornie coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-Bredstreet's Financial Review tomorrow will say; Irregular spocu- letiVe conditions have prevailed during the week. Realizing of profits and bear attacks on prices have been seen the latter being based on the revival of the Cuban agitation in the House of Representatives at Washington and of silver measures in the Senate. On the other hand. at declines there were evidences of buying, and in one portion Of the market a normal degree of strength has been shown.
 This group included the stocks of the North ern and Union Pacific and the companies whose titles include the name of Oregon. The basis for their activity and strength was the growing belief that the companies In question VIII obtain enormous amount or trarnc in of the passengers and freight destined to the Alaskan gold fields The strength shown in this part of the market to some extent coun- terected the bearish demonstrations in other was very active, though not to such an extent as fast week, the features were also largely Furnished by this so-called 'kloncike group or companies Another feature was the local traction stocks, but Manhattan was subjected 10 more less realizing, and Metropolitan Street Railway, which advanced to l4s suffered a mid-week decline.

DUNs REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, Jan. N.-G. Dun Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade will say tomorrow: With & volume of business remarkable for the time of year, Ss per cent larger than year ago and 10.4 per cent larger than in 1892 in payments through the clearing houses. 1t is not discouraging that one two industries are tagging. The demand for most goods is more heavy for the season. manufacturing works better employed and orders booked and in prospect for the future more encouraging than at this season in any other year of which equally definite records exist.
 Exports of products continue surprisingly heavy, in spite of some rise in prices. Treas ury receipts from customs larger in twenty days of January than in the entire month of October or November, and appre- hension regarding the monetary future is no longer felt outside of speculative circles. Fail ures considerably smaller than were ever known at this season. both banking and trad ing less than half last year g. Railroad earn ings in January thus far reported have been 10.6 per cent larger than last year and 106 per cent larger than in 1892.
 The rise of wheat above dollar in regular sales was not accompanied by signs of specu- lative excitement In fact. the continut nee flour included. for the week from Atlantic ports. against L57s. 2l5 last year. and for three year, besides 4.0S6. $40 from Pacific Coast ports for three weeks would give an excuse for high enough to suggest foreign need. amounting to 9,270.1se bushels, against i0 "A, 2sS for three weeks. The fact that cargoes of wers shipped during the week to Egypt and Russia. the very countries upon which Europe most relies for breadstuffs next to the United States, affected trade not unreasonably.

BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Jan H-Bradstreets to-mor- row will say: large measure of activity
 In business and industrial lines, with, in some
 instances previous records surpassed. and very
 generally steadiness in prices of staples is per
 haps the most notable feature of the trade
 situation this week. Quotations of cereals show
 the most aggressive strength. while those of
 some makes of pgron betray rather a more
 decided weakness than they did week ago.
 Mild weather is frequently mentioned as an
 influence tending to check retail distribution
 of seasonable goods chiefly because of the
 effect on country roads. Spring trade opens
 slowly, as usual at that time of the year, but
 confidence is still unimpaired. As already in timated the immense current production of
 pigiron, amounting to fully 1000. GOO tons per
 month. has begun to exercise influence upon
 the price of that staple. but decreases reported are still only fractional. The outlook in the steel rail trade is reported as fattering one. Large orders for railroad account already booked have been increased within the week. an example of this being furnished by sales or l5.o0O tons reported from Chicago at full prices. Higher prices for wool abroad, based
 the trmness of domestic quotations although the demand. while comparing well with most
 paIeceuIng years IS smaller tnan IL was at this tune Tn lssi, when the tarin changes were be-
 ing anticipated. The industrial situation, with
 the single exception of the. cotton industry. Is one of exceptional strength.
 Business fs active on the Pacific Coast Cali
 fornia crop prospects have been improved by
 the recent rains and ship and boat building
 are very active along Puget Sound and at Portland
 Quite a shrinkage in cereal exports Is i'm dicated by reports to Bradstreet this week. Total shipments of wheat flour included from the United States and Canada amounted to only 3.s26. 900 bushels. against 522s. 900 bushels | last week. 2ei6. GOO bushels this week d year
