and minor outlets was inactive. This lat

sued by merchants here than TO unhealthy
conditions abroad
There WAS a general inquiry for yarns,
which did not improve. Spinners are press.

stu without any dehuite plan Of action for

present week will witness greater display
Of activity In tho senate committee rooms
IMAM In the senate chamber. There are
very few matters of Importance on tho cal
endar, but enough 10 engage attention foi 4
lew hours each day Until Thursday, when
the senate Will probably adjourn for ;he
week
Among tho measures which there viii he
enort TO get ont Of committee during the
week are; The Nicaragua canal bill. the
philippine tarih bill and the ship subsidy
Dill The Indications are that the Nicaragua
hill will lie reported practically ms it passed
the house and that the shipping bill will
hot be materially amended, but the 'cpub-
lican leaders have practically decided to
make material reduction of the tariff
on Philippine Imports 1t Is not probable
that the discussion OF either Of these qucs-
Uohs VIII begin for some time The ut
most th0t Is to he expected In that direc-
tion Is preliminary arrangement for con.
sheraton Which Of the measures shall
receive first nttention Is not yet deter

measures will be debated Mt some length
when taken up in the senate.
