 chandise Export Cause 

New York, March 13.-The stock market today showed very plainly that effects of the reduction of the short interest which accompanied yesterdays advance in prices. While yesterdays covering movement was in part the cause of the sharp advance, it was also the result of substantial buying which was attributed to large financial in- terests. The buying was not in evidence today. London also was disposed to take profits on the news of the arrival of the British forces before Bloemfontein.
 But notwithstanding the lack of aggres- sive strength in the market the bears show themselves timid about making fresh ventures. There was some pressure against that list at times, especially Metropolitan, Sugar, Peoples Gas, Steel Hoop and the New York City stocks generally. striking feature of the days events was the sharp break in sterling exchange. demand sterl- ing yielding 7sc and cables 14c in the pound. Considering the advance in London dis counts the selling of stocks for London ac- count here and the reported large subscrip- tions in New York to the British loan, the course of sterling was the more remarka- ble.

LAST DEBATE ON
 l FINANCIAL BILL
tcontlnued From First Page)

July 1. and with that leader-the incor- ruptjble, invincible and fearless tribune pf the people William J. Bryan, they will drive you and the cohorts of corruption from place and power Forever" (Demo- cratic applause)
 A1r. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee on banking and currency and one of the conferees on the financial bill, closed the debate in support of the Dill and report. After pointing out the points of the bill in establishing a stable system of finance, he concluded in part as follows:
 This measure is a long step toward the splendid pre-emnence we are achieving as q world power. American credits are af- fecting the finances of the world The British war loan and fine Russian loan have sought American takers and we supply these calls as we did the payment to Spain without strain, out of our abundant com mercial credits abroad. These are momen- tolis events They show the marvellous de- velopment of the United States and the power to command the markets and con- trol the finances of the world. Financial empire is before us and following in the wake of commercial supremacy New York will ere long have supplanted as the clear ing house of the world. This is but part of our great forward movement. It is but one terrace in the height of destiny this nation is climbing"
 The conference report was then agreed to, yeas 166, nays 120, present and not vot- ing TO- Nine democrats voted with the re- publicans to agree to the report viz: Clay ton, Driggs, Under'hill. Levy, Scudder, all of New York; Denny, of Maryland: Me- Aleer of Pennsylvania; Thayer and Fitz- gerald, of Massachusetts. In other re- spects the vote was on party lines The Speaker announced the appointment of MT. Clayton, of Alabama to succeed MT. Underwood, of Alabama, on the judiciary committee; MT. Brower to succeed MT. Clayton on the insular committee, and Mr. Polk, of the military committee.
 At 5:10 D. m. the house adjourned.

THE SENATE

Washington, March 13.-PersonaI expla- nations were made today in the senate by MT. Allen of Nebraska and MT. Butler of North Carolina of their positions on the financial question. Both announced their belief in the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to 1. The state ments were called about by reports to the contrary which had gained circulation
 MT Turner of Washington began an ex- tended speech on the Porto Rican bill He maintained that the pending measure clear ly was unconstitutional and expressed his belief that it would be so held if it were passed upon by the supreme court He de- clared that it's enactment would result in the debauchery of our citizenship or of our constitution. He presumed that the minor- ity in congress would be charged with fa- voring competition of American working people with the unfed and llnderpaid labor of Porto Rico and the Philippines, but in this connection he said, it would have to be remembered that the minority had op- posed consistently the acquisition of the islands Even now he believed the United States ought to let the F1lpinos go in peace. It ought to be the mission of this { country to give them a start on the road | to good government and then permit them to proceed for themselves, reserving such eoaling stations and hanoors as we might need. If the commercial interests, he Sdlu, must nave pnefr pound of flesh, this country might make treaties with the Fili- pinos anording us such advantages as their sense of gratitude to the United States might prompt them to give us.
 Thought Proposition Favorable
 Mr Turner though the proposition favora- Die to levy tariff on commerce between Porto Rico and other portions of the United States was a poor return for the ready &C., eeptance of our institutions on the part of the Porto Ricans and mo amount of sugar coating could disguise it's evil smell or nauseating taste"
 The evident purpose was to break down the system which had stood the test of 123 years. The bill was clearly unconstitutional and It was repugnant to every utterance of the supreme court bearing upon the subject MT. Turner feared, indeed, that the meas ure was one of those innovations against which the fathers had warned the American people, and he considered it wise to stop and consider where we were drifting.
 He did not agree with MT. Foraker that we have ''passed the law book stage" and quoted numerous decisions of the supreme court ito sustain his position, which was that the constitution must apply equally to all portions of the territory of the United States, and that there could possibly be no discrimination in favor of one section in the matter of taxation or otherwise in the in terest of another section.
 Without MT. Turner having completed his speech the senate went into executive ses- sion, adjourning at 3:2o p. m.

 to 8 Points
 
AND THE GAIN WAS LOST

New York, March 13.-There was an ac- cumulation of orders to buy when the cot ton market opened this morning. and the first call showed an advance of 1@1O points. This was the high mark for the session. Immediately after the call the local traders detected lack of public support and com menced to raid the market in a cautious way, and the opening advance was soon lost Subsequently business showed a loss of 1@4 points.
 The feature of the early trading was ac- tive selling on southern orders directed chiefly to new crop positions and accom- panied by private advices of bearish char acter regarding the next crop. Trading in the old crop positions became of a hesitat- ing character owing to the possibility of un- due changes by means of manipulation. The market was helped a little in the after noon by strong cables. Just before the close the market rallied on covering and was finally steady at net advance of 49 points. Is
