Dun's weekly review of trade tomor-
row will say: The year has opened
with a very satisfactory prospect 1t
is all the better that there is no wild
excitement in the speculative markets,
and while stocks advance little grain
yields little.
Earnings of all railroads in the
United States reporting for December
(S43, 1854, ,219) indicate substantially the
same rate of increase, exceeding last
years by 100 per cent and the earnings
of 1892 for the same roads by 1.3 per
cent.
No little stir in the market has been
caused by the announcement that the
Western Union has purchased the tele-
graph lines owned by the government
Of Mexico, and that the Manhattan
Company will equip it's plant to run
trains by electricity.
The stock market has not been wild
but strong, the Vanderbilt properties
showing especial strength, the average
for the sixty most active stocks rising
81 cents per share, although trust
stocks have declined. So cents per share

distribute large profits in Sugar fore

''We bought about $4,000 shares of var
ious stocks today, and had one of the
largest days in the history of our firm.
1t was big, strong market, and prov
ed its strength by the resistance shown
to the Cuban scare during the fore
noon. Traders sold stocks and ham
mered prices, but tremendous buying
power came from the commission
houses. The buying was good in
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Manhattan,

The Illinois legislature, at it's last
session, passed a bill materially chang
ing the school law as applied to ex-
penses and assessments for building
purposes. The old law allowed 2 per
cent of the valuation for purpose of
expenses and 3 per cent for building
purposes. The change in the law al
lows 21s per cent for running expenses
and the same amount for building pur-
poses. This change will prove very &C
ceptable to the school boards through
out the state, as many of them have
been unable to meet current expenses
on the per cent. This latter fact was
due to the very low assessments in the
state.

Washington, April 12.-In the SEN
ate every available seat, both on the
floor and in the galleries, was occupied
when Vice President Hobart's gavel
called the session to order In the gal
lerles the people had been waiting for
hours, but the arrangements for
handling the crowds were so admira-
BILE that not the slightest confusion ex-
listed. The attendance of senators
was unusually large, indeed every
member Of the body in the city was
IN his seat. Scarcely had the senate,
peen called to order when Mr.. Quay Of
pennsylvania precipitated the Cuban
question by presenting some petitions
and making startling comments upon
them. He took the strongest ground
for immediate and impetuous action.
Even while Mr.. Quay was speaking.
Maj. Pruden, the legislative secretary
to the president, entered the chamber
bearing the longexpected message.
He was recognized as soon as Mr..
Quay had concluded, and when he
lad presented the message the vice
president Immediately laid it before
the senate. In stiffness that was al
most breathless the message was read,
the reading occupying just forty-two
minutes. At the conclusion of the
reading there was hum of whispered
conversation in the galleries but no
demonstration. Mr.. Davis of Minneso-
ia, chairman of the foreign relations,
committee, at once moved that it be.
referred to his committee, and Mr..
Stewart, taking advantage of the op-
portunity, briefly addressed the SEN
ate in favor of recognizing the indie
pendence Of the Cuban insurgents.
Without further debate the message.
was referred as requested. 80

Vast AssemblaEe Listens to the

The presidents message was read in
the house in the presence of a vast
assemblage and referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations without
debate. There was absolutely no
demonstration either of approval or
disapproval from the crowded galleries
throughout or at the conclusion of the
reading, but there was sharp burst
of applause from the Republican side
when, toward the close OF the message
the president said that war in Cuba
\must cease. At the conclusion of the
reading about half the Republicans
appaauded and several of the Demo-
crats>groaned. After the message had

contrary, the insurgents are vigorous;
there is little disease among them.
