Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. January 3O-Opening prices
this morning were irregular, but in the
main steady around last nights closing
level. London. sent over a lower range or
prices for the active issues, with the ex-
ception of Nashville, which was up a half
point.
The St. Paul deal was not discussed as
factor and the general market seemed the
better for it. Attention was given to
known quantities, and the net result of the
days business is quite satisfactory In con-
sequence. st. Pauls dividend is almost
certain of an increase to per cent. and
present prices are not far out of the way
on merit. -.-.--
The floating supply of stock has been re-
duced and whatever may be the fate Of the
deal the stock will find support in the mar
ket. Rock Island was feature OF the
morning trading, selling up over 126 under
a good demand, which seemed to have
sprung up over night, and which lacked
definite explanation.
Burlington was strong and higher prices
are predicted for 1t as the result of the new
stock privilege. Atchison issues developed
better demand than usual and held well
at higher prices. The earnings OF this
property are keeping up to record limits
and dividend talk on the common shares
may be expected to assume prominence be-
fore long.
Louisville and Nashville was well bought
by conservative houses and favorable de-
velopments are expected to materfalize
shortly. The absorption Of Mobile and
Ohio is among the possibilities in this con-
nection. The strength of Nashville is taken
as an indication of important plans, the de-
tails of which are withheld from the public
The southern and southwestern groups
were strong, good buying on all declines
being recorded. Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, common and preferred, were in
good demand and the manipulation has lost
nothing of its previous effectiveness. South
ern Pacific had to contend with heavy real
fzing sales. but the offerings were well
taken by inside interests.
Baltimore and Ohio advanced sharply
during the afternoon under what appeared
to be hurried covering movement.
The postponement of the dividend on
American Steel and Wire had been dis
counted pretty thoroughly, and the stock
rallied under a mixed demand from the
ROOM
strong after the morning hour and trade
conditions are now supposed to favor higher
prices for these issues. American Smelt-
ing common declined per cent under what
appeared to be profit-taking by the pool in
the property. No significance was attached
warranting such action. The total gold en-
gagged for export by tomorrow's steamers
is s., 100000.
No attention was paid to this outward
movement the banks being entirely will
ing to surrender the specie. The call money
rate was under per cent during the active
borrowing period, and the supply was abun-
dant at the rate quoted The exchange will
adjourn Saturday, as a mark of respect
to the late queen.

Conference Report on Reorganization
Submitted to the Senate.
SUBSIDY BILL DISPLACES IT
Lively Debate Over Agricultural
Bill in the House.
NEEDS OF THE FARMERS

In the Senate today. Mr.. Clapp, the new
senator from Minnesota. presented the
credentials of his colleague. Mr.. Nelson
Mr. Burrows (Mich) also presented the
credentials of Mr. Mcmillan as senator
from Michigan. each for the full term of
six years from the 4th of March next.
The Senate agreed to a resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Jones (Ark.), requesting the
Secretary of War to inform the Senate
whether the executive council of Porto
Rico has agreed to guarantee dividends to
corporations doing business in that Island
The conference report upon the army re-
organization bill was then presented by Mr..
Hawley.
Mr.. Hawley explained the report and said
the committee on conference had introduced
no new legislation in the bill.
Question of Increase of Officers.
Mr. Hale asked especially whether there
had been any increase of officers in any in
stance over the numbers permitted by the
bill, either as 1t passed the Senate or the
House.
Mr.. Hawley replied In the negative. but
Mr. Butler On. c. insisted that there had
been an increase OF color sergeants in the
artillery provision.
Mr.. PettiErew Objects.
Al o CLOCK the shipping Dill was ialu De-
fore the Senate as the unfinished business,
but as the army conference report was still
proceeding Mr. AIdrich asked that the ship
ping bill be laid aside temporarily.
Mr.. Pettigrew promptly objected. This
created a parliamentary blockade. which
compels either the subsidy bill or the army
bill to give way. Mr.. Hawley, in charge OF
the army bill. concluded to yield. but gave
notice that he would call up that measure
the first thing tomorrow.
Amendments offered.
Consideration of the subsidy bill being re-
sumed, Mr.. Aldrich gave notice Of two
amendments. one providing that applicants
for subsidy shall contract to build a new
vessel within the United States within three
years. and a second providing that the ut
most limit of subsidy shall be fifteen years,
instead of twenty years, as provided in the
bill.
Mr.. Turley (Tenn.) then spoke against the
bill. pointing out the large expenditures in
Volved. He declared that already the ship
ping interests had unusual privileges under
the tariff. the postal bounty laws and in
many other ways.

The opening in wheat was steady and
trading was light with no special features.
The market was influenced most by the
stronger tone to the stock market, due to
the more favorable reports from Buffalo,
which induced two prominent local longs to
add to their lines. a smaller increase in

Rain, which retards the ripening of corn
and thus increases the chances of damage
by frost, was the chief strengthening in

fipally from commission houses who later

Treasury Statement.
PRIVATE WIRE ADyICES.


Meyer & Kisers telegram
NEW YORK, Sept. Except during the
first half hour. when the market hesitated
owing to the execution of selling orders
which had accumulated over Sunday, to-
days market was extremely strong and
with pronounced rising tendency. The
initial cause of the upward movement was,
of course. the extremely encouraging ac-
counts that were received from Buffalo in
regard TO the condition of the President.
Another encouraging feature to-day was
the comparatively light calling of loans and
the failure of money rates to go above 6
per cent. That they did not reach any
higher figure was due to the concerted
action of leading banks in the street and
to the knowledge that preparations had
been made to enhance the supply of money
i'm the street should it become necessary
Bankers are hopeful that rates will be
maintained around per cent, as ii is be-
lieVed that that rate would attract con-
siderable sums of gold from Europe. The
leader of the market was st. Paul. In the
early dealings there was SOME pressure to
sell on the theory that the unsettled condi-
tionS resulting from the attempted as
sassination of the President would induce
the directors at their meering on Thursday
to declare only the regular dividend. The
subsequent character of the buying was
such as to destroy faith in this theory and
to create the impression that the directors
might, the contrary take this oppOr-
tunity of showing confidence in the sitUa-
ton by increasing the rate. Other strong
stocks were Atchison- Union Pacific and
Erie the buying of the latter being to
large extent by Morgan brokers' The mar
ket generally symDathized with the
strength of st. Paul and during the after
noon sharp advances occurred. which i'm
many cases brought prices almost back 10
the level of Fridays closing. The per-
manence of the upward movement is
however. open to doubt. Although the re-
coverv of the President seems to be well as
sured. the position of the banks is by no
means such as TO warrant any sustained
bull movement
