Financial

New York, April 4.-The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cabegram says:
 In the markets here activity began to revive today, particularly in Americans. There was a good general tone, but the Easter holidays are too near for a-sustain- ed movement.
 Americans began bullish. Baltimore and Ohio started below New York sensational parity, but steadily improved. There was a strong house tip to buy Union Pacific and Northern Pacific New York continued it's buying in the afternoon, causing a buoy ant finish near the top. London followed this lead but not very actively. Tintos scored new record at 60. Americans sym pathized up to 11a.
 No gold went out or came in Money was easy. The large sum due the bank was repaid this morning, but in the afternoon thefe was some fresh borrowing for the week or ten days, to the markets surprise, considering the heavy dividend distributions tomorrow.

Accept Tcrms OF Chinese Decree.
Washington, Nov. 17.-It is hoped by
officials here that the imperial Chinese
decree OF Nov. l3 for the degradation
and punishment OF Chinese princes and
leaders implicated in the Boxer uprising
Will be accepted as sufficient by the for
eign ministers at Pekin. The sentencing
Of Prince Tuan to life impris sonment is
an unusually severe penalty to be im-
posed upon a high prince in China, and,
in the opinion Of the officials, should be
q sufficient guaranty OF the purpose of
the Chinese government to comply with
the demand Of the powers for the pun
1shment OF the guilty. 1t is admitted,
however, that certain nations may de-
stroy harmony and prevent an agree
ment by Insisting upon harsher punish
ment thanit is within the power of the
Imperial government to impose.
Minister Conger at Pekin Is exercising
his influence with the other ministers at
the Chinese capital to secure the speedy
disposition of the preliminary steps Of
4 settlement with China. and may succeed
in bringing the negotiations to an early
conclusion.
Discussing the situation In China, Wu
Ting Fang said:
Prince Ching has been In Pekln more
than month, and Ii Hung Chang has
been there for some time. These two
plenipotentiaries have been waiting for
the terms to be submitted to them by
teh allied powers. Up to this moment
they have received nothing, and In the
meantime the country is in an unsettled
state. Riots have occurred. Business is
almost at a standstill. Surely 1t Is
necessary to all the parties that peace
be restored as early as practicable.
THAT the imperial government Is
anxious to meet the views of the allied
powers Is shown by the edict which
have received. This edict announces the
punishment OF nine princes and officials
who were accused Of completely In thu
outraEes, and who have been named bJ
the foreign envoys. Severe penaltie.
have been imposed upon those whom 4
d safe for the imperial government t
punish at this time. In Its present un
fortunate position China ought not to b.
pressed too hard.
