GAGE AG4IN UNDER FIRE.
SuIzer Declares Mandate Has Gone
Forth to suppress Investigation.


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE house had
another inning to-day over the sale Of
the New York customs house by Sec
retary Gage Mr.. Sulzer of New York,
the author of the resolution for an in
vestigation Of the secretary's transac-
tions with the New York banks, start
ed the ball rolling by charging that
the mandate had already gone forlll
to suppress it, Mr.. Sibley, Pennsyl-
vania democrat, formerly a radical ad-
vocate of free silver, who is now out
of sympathy with the democrats Of
the house, warmly commended Mr.
Cages course.
These two speeches. precipltated de-
bate which lasted about three hours.
MI. Grosvenor OF Ohio explained that
the committee on rules to which the
Sulzer resolution had gone had not
acted because no evidence had been
produced before the committee TO war
rant the ordering of such far reach
ing investigation. Not a single person
had appeared before the committee to
press it. Mr.. Hepburn, rep. Of Iowa,
assailed Mr.. Sulzer for some Of his ex-
travagant statements and declal ed
there ought to be some way to rebulSe
a member for slandering honored Of
ficials.
Later in the day. during the discus
sion of the appropriation FOR the array,
Mr. Cannon, in charge of the bill, chal-
lenged any member to move to strike
it ou. Mr. William, dem. of Miss ssip-
pi replied to Mr.. Cannon in an elo-
guent speech in which he affirmed the
loyalty of every American citizen to
the flag and charged Mr.. Cannon with
shrewdly issuing challenge that he
knew would not be accepted. He main
tanned the right, however, Of members
to criticise the policy of the govern
ment, asserting that loyalty 70 the fleg
was often confounded with loyalty to q
policy of the government. The urgent
deficiency bill was passed with only
one unimportant amendment.

 Short Time. ON AN UNF0UNDED RUM0R To the Effect That the Directors Had Held a Meeting and Passed Divi- dend-Stock Then Became
 Strong Again.
ON AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR

New York, December 12.-Activity in a large number of usually dormant securities was taken by traders today to demonstrate increased interest in the stock market on the part of outside public. Gains in these properties were more extensive than in the usual market leaders, and extended to 4 points in some cases Generally speaking the market during the forenoon displayed great animation and strength with specula- tive interest radiating from one group of stocks to another. Factors which contribu- ted to the days rise included traffic state ments for the first week of December, em- bracing all sections of the country and showing substantial increases.
 With the absorption by the treasury on internal revenue collections and transfers to the interior, banks have thus far this week lost $3,200000. Rates for sterling ex- change continue to yield, 60-days' bills de- clining S4r It is understood the question of Imports of gold is being considered by a prominent institution on the basis of allow ing interest on the money while In transit With this relief apparently in sight, con- ditions become softened in the money mar ket. speculative people become active and forced coverings of short lines appear Market for Americans abroad was decid- edy weak compared with other half weeks. Demand was primarily responsible for the weakness in sterling exchange.
 In the final hour a raid was made in Tennessee coal and the stock broke 4al per cent on a rumor that the directors were in session and had passed the quart erly dividend on the stock This move ment unsettled the entire market and T1ripns fell r1Did1V.

COTTON REGAINED @
 SOME OF LOSSES Market Was Strong Enough to
 Scare the Bears TRADING WAS VERY ACTIVE At the Close the Market Was Steady, With Prices Net to 12 Points Higher-Estimates on Receipts
 Smaller Than Expected.
TRADING WAS VERY ACTIVE

New York, December 12.-The cotton mar ket made long stride toward recovery of late severe decline today. At the start weak Liverpool cables, large foreign selling orders; larger receipts than expected and liquidation gave the market an easy under tone and forced prices off to 10 points. After a slight additional decline the mar ket quietly steadied on room proft-taking. By Il o'clock the undertone was bordering on firmness with prices back to last night s final bids. The market continued to exhibit sufficient strength to make bears suspicious of a sharp upturn.
 Smaller estimates than expected for to- morrows receipts at New Orleans and Houston caused spurt of heavy general buying and prices rushed upward until a net rise of 13QN points was established Not few traders joined forces with the bulls after having covered over sales, while the winter houses came into possession of numerous buying orders from parties who have fought shy of the market for long time.
 The nesr months were the strongest on the list owing to the small stock of cotton in New York on which shorts could count to make deliveries on contract and the fact that the local market is so far below par fty with other markets that cotton can be bought here only at a loss. Trading was acive much of the day. At the close the market was steady with prices net to F points higher.

ment is quite liberal, but this did not have much effect, as the approximate figures were already known yesterday. We be- lieve that today's advance is simply a reac- ton after the sharp decline we had lately and that the bureau will continue to have it's depressing effect on values, especially If receipts turn out to be large, which is very probable. On any good declines, how ever, from now on we would advise pur
 chases, as we firmly believe in higher prices in the long run. Cotton bought from SAC down looks to me like a safe investment.
