THEN AND NOW.

Mr. Berry Oem., Ark). in an ex-
tended speech, declared that the pend
ing resolution was precisely the same
as that for which the senator from
Iowa (Allison) voted 20 years ago. If it
was not violation of public faith then,
he added, it could not be so now. One
OF the reasons why Mr.. Berry was de-
sirous of the passage of the resolution
was that it would disprOve the charge
brought in 1896, that the Democratic
party was composed of reDudiatiOnists
and dishonOrable men.
Mr.. Aldrich--DO you desire to take
frop the secretary of the treasury his
discretion TO pay government obHga-
tons in either gold or silver?
Mr.. Berry.-The trouble is the secre-
tary of the treasury has turned over
the government option to the bondhold-
ers.
Mr.. Aldrieh.-Would the passage of
the resolution by the senate or house
act as instructions to the secretary OF
the treasury?

BRADsTREETs FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Bradstreets Financial Review will say tomorrow Transactions in both stocks and bonds this week have been active and the market shows a broadening tendency. Influenced by investment purchasing prices in the bond list have advanced, while dividend-paying stocks or those which are ex- pected to take that position also being absorbed to some extent by permanent holders. Public and foreign participation on the bull side renders the market as whole less sus- ceptible to professional manipulation but in spite of its generally strong tone the move ment of prices during the week leaves the impression of irreguarity. The securities which ordinarily lead the market less were supplied by specialties and stocks which have held a subordinate position. The specu- lattve undertone has been very strong, how ever, and any slight depressions seem to de- velop renewed buying power. London shows increasing favor for American stocks and it's purchasing has been sufficiently steady to give material aid to the bull side. The ease of the money market here facilitates buying by the public, although the fact that stocks are being carried to an unusual extent call loans does not escape attention. It may be added that the activity and advances in many low the proportion of such securities carried on margin or in loans, but as yet no danger is apparently apprehended from that score The market at large is impressed only with the favorable foreign trade situation, the encour- aging business outlook. the abundance of capi- tai seeking investment and the excellent earn ings which railroads are generally reporting Actual and possible dividend payments by rail- road and industrial coal companies also play a part in sustaining the decidedly bullish feel ing Of the market and the more prominent operators are generally active on that side of the account, or. if they take profits in one part ot the list. do so to transfer their atten- tion to other stocks
