A BROKERS' OPINION.

A prominent broker said yesterday in speaking
of the market:
Many stocks have been sold in the last six months
and many wash transactions have also taken
place but have yet to find a well known investor
who has reduced his lines of securities. Certain
people appear to believe that stocks sold nave
been thrown away, and that one has been ready
to pick them There are just as many stocks
to-day there year ago, but the character
of holdings has changed materially in the last
twelve months. Stocks have passed into strong
mems hands at bargain prices, and they Will stay
there until the next bull movement carries values
further up the speculative scale. They are held by
men who hold them through any kind of a
panic. Just at present we are having panic or
fear, doubt and pessimsm This situation may be
with us throughout summer. but the time Will
come when there will be much sunshine in the
Street that bear traders will need extra heavy sun
shades to keep from melting. Stock values have
discounted all the uncertainties in the situation
and good issues ought not to lower. even ir
railroad earnings fall off this 1t will take
several years of Dad earnings to cause a general
reduction in dividends but such period is not in
view. The days of plenty not done, and the
time of famine is far off.

AMERICAN LINsEED COMPANY.

An officer of the American Linseed Company
says that the demand for oil is good. The deliv-
cries of oil between 20 and 80 per cent larger
than they at this time last year. In April the
deliveries showed increase of 80 per cent.
Prices firm. Oil is 63 to 64 cents per gallon
of Buffalo and 65 cents in New-York. In
June and July the demand generally slackens. but
trade conditions in the last year have been alb
normal. it is hard to forecast the beginning of the
summer duness. The business the books
will the companys mills at their present rate
for time.

No SEAT FOR ROBERTS
The Special Investigating Committee
Reaches Conclusion in Case of
the Mormon Congressman.
Unanimous Decision That Brigham
H. Roberts is Polygamist- The
Facts Recited.
Two Reports as to Procedure-Ma~
jority Favor Exclusion, Minor
ity For Expulsion.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE speciai
committee OF the house to investigate
the case Of Brigham II. Roberts, OF
Utah, today reached a conclusion. On
the polygamous status of Roberts the
committee is unanimous in the affirm
ative. on the question of procedure to
be adopted the committee is divided
The majority, consisting of all mem
bers except Littlefeld. of Maine, and
DeArmond. Of Missouri. favored exclu-
sion at the outset Littieneld and De-
Almond viii make minority report
favorable To ssaung Roberts on his
prima facie rights and then expelling
him.
The statement of facts found by the
committee is as follows:
I'VE find b. n. Roberts was elected
las a representative to the Fifty-sixth
congress from the state of Utah and
was at the date of his election above
the age of 81 years: that he has been
for nlore than seven years a natural-
ized citizen of the United States and
Was an inhabitant of the state Of Utah.
we further find that about 1878 he
WAS married to Louisa Smith. his first
ard lawful Wife. With whom he has
ever since lived as such. and who, since
their marriage, has borne him six chill
di'sn
ABOUT 1855 he married as his plural
Wife Celia Dibble, with whom he has
lleveI since LIVED as such and who since
Fsaeir marriage has borne him six chill
+ Dire. Of which last We're twins, born on
4 Aug Ii, is97.
That some years after his said mar
/ riagc Is Celia Dibhle he contracted an
other plural marriage with MargaretHC.
4 Shipp. with whom he has ever since
liked in the habit and repute of mar
4 riage.
Your committee is unable TO fix the
enact date of this marriage 1t does
Il not appear that he held her out as his
awife before Jan l. 1887. or that before
. that date she held him out as her hus-
bard. or that before that date they
We're sreputed 70 be husband and wife.
That these facts were gererali,
knawn in Utah and publicly charged
against him during his campaign fol
election anJ not denied by him.
That les 5imony on these facts was
taken in the presence Of Roberts; tlal
he fully cross examined witnesses, bu1
declined II place himself on the witness

ANXIOUS ABOUT BuLLER.
Absence of News From Gen. Butler
Causes Uncnstness in London.

London, Jan. 17--Anxiety here regard
ing Gen. Buffers movements is intense
fled by the total absence of authorita-
tive information. l is Well understood
that press communications are rigidly
censored and that nothing will be all
lowed 10 come thru until Cen. Butler
himself reports the result of the COM
bined movement. Rumors are plenti-
full enough. but of authentic news
there is practically none, while isnor-
ance of precise conditions prevents
even an intelligent forecast of the trend
sof events.
While the public is in the dark, there
lis every reason for saying the war Of
flee has not only received news from
Gen. Butler, but that the news has
been of a most satisfactory nature
am told on good authority that since
Sunday morning the war office has
been in possession of news which it
cannot give out until the aim Of the
combined movement of Gems, Bule.s
and Warren has been accomplished.
What is patent to all is the change IN
the defneanor of high officials of the
war office in the last few days. An air
of suppressed exuitation has replaced
the worried, serious mood. A little
straw which perhaps shows in which
way the wind is blowing is found in the
extreme gayety of Lord Wolseley at q
dinner party on Monday evening. |
am told that those present thought that
such levity was rather inappropriate.
all the more so as the open talk is that
Gen Wolseley should most certainly be
lcalled TO book for the plan of campaign
which caused SO disastrous begin
ming.
| AS matter of fact, some of the in
Formation that reaches Cape Town ev-
I i6eiitly is designed purposely to mis-
lead. Thus Charles Williams. the Daily
chronicle's correspondent. who L
| known to have an entrance to certain
sources of information denied to others
declares that Gen. Warren, with more
than division, yesterday was five
miles northwest of Springfield, where
/ is Gen Buffers Headquarters. 1t is
/ said that his main movement was made
by the left wing, cmbodying his CHIEF
strength, tho the cavalry and light ar
i jtillery are declared 10 be far away or
! the right. where he would have mad.
i his main move if he had had a mobile
transport earlier. His plan, further, il
.lsaid 10 be to win the heights north ant
northwest of Colenso and TO compe
their evacuation. and then to attach
the Beers between him and Ladysmitl
i and eventually to join forces with Gen
White.
