Washington, March 11.-Chairman
Payne of the ways and means commit
tee and Representative Grosvenor
were among the presidents callers
yesterday. Although both maintained
great reserve as to their calls, 1t is
known that the Cuban reciprocity sit

ciates in the contest express the be-
lief that the reciprocity plan woult
prevail in some form. Others who
talked with the president said he was
in some doubt as to just what had
been promised 4 ;ubans, but seemed
to think that the islands product:

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, March GA notable
speech was made in the senate by
Mr. Hanna (rep., o. on the shipping
bill, which he discussed from the
standpoint of a business man. Early
in the session Mr.. Frye (rep., Me-
in charge of the bill, obtained an
agreement that the senate should vote
on the measure and all pending
amendments at p. m. Monday, March
II. Mr. Hanna said that 95 per cent.
of the cost of a ship was purely la
bor The cost of con struction in the
United States against that in foreign
countries simply measured the diff
ference in wages and efficiency of
American labor The merchant ma
rine was the only industry of this
country that had not received the fos-
tering care of the government. If
the United States failed to profit by
the experience of Europe it would
make a serious mistake. Over there
every ship constructed was meant to
be a ship Of war in time of need. 1t
was an economic policy to carry with
the expenditure for building up the
navy one for an auxiliary navy and
merchant machine There was some
thing more in this transportation ques-
ton than merely carrying mail let
ter bags-more in it than dollars and
cents to the United States. He spoke
of the benefit the passage of the bill
would bring as the result of increased
trade with South American countries,
saying that that trade now went by
way of Liverpool and Hamburg in
foreign ships, and thence was trans
shipped to South American ports. By
carrying American goods in American
ships there would be an increase of
American trade In closing Mr.. Hanna
adverted to the question of the cost
of labor, maintaining that wages of
America averaged so per cent higher
than those in Europe, that the cost of
ships built here was higher than there
and that the cost of operating Ameri-
can ships was higher than European
because wages here and on our ships
were higher

Washington, March 7-On account
of the indisposition Of Mr.. Vest
(dem., MOI and Mr.. Mallory (dem.,
Fla.) who were expected to speak on
the pending ship subsidy bill, that
measure was not considered by he
senate. The diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill was passed AMI
then the senate took up the measure
for the protection of the president or
the United States. Mr.. Bacon (dem.,
Ga.) continued his speech in opposi-
ton, making an extended constitu-
tiOnal argument against it. The
senate agreed to make the bill UNI

the consideration of the ship subsidy
bill. Senator McLaurin (dem., MISC

law.
The bill to classify the rural free

vices were disappointing consequent
ly our market opened points lower
subsequently advanced 6@10 points
from the bottom on heavy buying by
Wall street, but eased off slightly near
the close, making the net gain eos
points on late months.
The stubborness of the market in
the new crop options, the value of
same being practically now what they
were three months ago, is due to the
ttmidity shown by operators to sell
them short, owing to the existing dis
counts. The present crop outlook is
favorable and points to a large yield,
but it Is nevertheless contended that
the most critical period of the plant
must be gone through during the next
six weeks and that marked change
for the worst may materialize during
this period. 1t is also claimed that as
the consumption this year of Ameri-
can will range from 10, 800 900 to TO- 700,-
OOO, that next season at least II 900, GOO
of the American will be requisite in
consequence of a number of new mills
being built, therefore it is essential
that the growing crop should be a very
large one to meet these requirements,
and leave surplus at the end of next
season. With this view in mind, many
are buying on the theory that prices
are cheap enough, even If the yield
is large, whereas if any serious disas-
ter were to overtake the crop in the
next six weeks sharp advance is ex-
pected. On the other hand European
textile trade is not good, and it is
claimed that these spinners are car
rying large stocks of manufactured
goods which will preclude their enter
ing the market on the present basis
The crop prospects could hardly be
better on the whole, and it is contend
ed that it is hardly possible that any
serious disaster can take place to the
crop so late in the season. We have
presented both sides of the question,
and our friends can see the daily
weather conditions and the demand
for spots and the movement will con-
tinue to regulate the future course of
values.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 13.-There was no
improvement in the activity of the
trading in the stock market to-day,
but the tone was firmer and did not
reflect the disposition to liquidate on
oil advances which was feature of
yesterdays market. For the most
part, however, the representative
stocks were neglected and sluggish.
The Gould stocks were the most con-
spicuous in the trading, Missouri Pa
cific leading in point of activity. There
were heavy dealings also in all of the
Wabash securities and in Texas and
Pacific. The Southwestern railroads
are expected to gain special benefit
from the large corn crop, and the win
ter wheat crop in that territory is also
in high average condition. The Wa
bash stocks were especially affected
by reports of aggressive steps being
taken to secure terminal facilities.
both in Pittsburg and in Baltimore for
the use of Wabash eastern extensions.
There was a fitfui speculation in the
soft coal stocks based upon the benefit
felt by that trade as an incident Of
the paralysis of the anthracite trade.
There were perslsting rumors as well
of an intention on the part of the Nor
folk and Western directors to advance
the dividend rate on that stock. The
settlement of the elevated railroad
troubles helped Manhattan and the
Goulds as a group. There was a nota-
Bile show Of strength in a number of
minor railroad stocks, especially in the
Granger region.
The brokers employed by the specula-
tive interest which accomplished the
Louisville and Nashville transfer were
conspicuous In these operations. The

Consumption will be so large this COM

it will soon be thoroughly exploited,
and as we always have bad crop adj
vices at this season, they can be eX-

vents the large early movement of the

a few buying orders. Spinners have
