COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Stocks and Bonds inj New York The
Grain and Provision Markets
ot Chicago. I I
New YoaK, Oct. 24. It is a long time
since the Stock Exchange presented such
a scene of excitement as it did to-day.
The transactions were on a heayy scale,
figuring up 452,874 shares,and the excite
nient ran high. The bears lost heavily
yesterday through the phenomenal rise
in the Coalers, and were ill prepared for
to-day's developments. The news from
"Washington came in the nature of a sur
prise to them and when it was finally
announced that the silver Senators liad
at last abandoned the field to their oppo
nent a sort of panic seized thei shorts.
Prices bounded half a point at a time in
the case of American Sugar and it wa)s a
common report that a leading operatjor,
noted for his fine manipulation of Indus
trial properties on the Stock Exchange,
had been caught short of the btock' and
had been - compelled to cover at; a
heavy loss. This, it was said, accounts
for the jump in this stock to 104 : near
the close. After the operator iH'JUf
tton had been forced to cover the stopk :
dropped back to 99 Early thisi morn
ing it sold at 07. Lackawanna ' was
also erratic in its movements. It opened
1 point lower at 168, dropped to 162, ral
lied to 166 and receded to 16-H to 16-).
Tiie break to 1G2 was due to repbrts that
some of the shorts had - made 1 private
settlements "with the bulls. It was
claimed that the basis was166i The
general list opened somewhat irregular,
but soon afterwards Reading loomed
into, prominence and rose on enbrmous
transactions to 31. The advance w&a
accompanied by intimations that the
Vanderbilts would- take hold of the
property and extricate it from its dilli
ciilties. The whole market moved Uj) with
great : rapidity in the last hour of
business and when Sugar sold at 104 the
excitement was intense. This as tlie
high water mark for prices.. The extra
ordinary high price for Sugar brought
oat a deluge of long, stock and, jas the
short interest had been squeezed" out, the
stock, lacking this important ele-nent of
'support, quickly receded to 99 J. I While
the market closed strong, the leadhig
shares were not up to the best of , the day
by any means. Still the net gain k-an god
from -i to 2 pe-cent. In the ' specialties
Nickel Plate, hist preferred, rose 7 points
to"; 67, Evansvilie and "Torre Halite 4 to
7v and Minneapolis and St. Louis, pre
ferred, 2i to32.V. Toledo, Ann Arbor and
North Michigan rose 2J to 11 -on reports
that Lake Shore 'would secure control of
the road. .People here who "have- been
interested in the property for some tiaie
tli not credit the rumor. Sales of listed
stocks were 373,000 shares; unlisted, isOj

This inquiry prompts a reference o the
facts of the situation as they standi The
Wilson bill, which the House passed
August 28th last,providing for thejjrepeal
of the.silver purchase clause of th! Sher

repeal shall not impair, 6r in anjfl man

present legal ratio or such other 'rftio as
may be established by law." - Ii
The Yoorhees bill, which' was reported
to the Senate from the Finance! com
mittee as a substitute for the Wilson bill,
replaced that proviso with the following
substitute. "And it is hereby declared
to be the policy of the United Sijtes to
continue the use of both uold and silver ns
standard money And to coin both gold and
silver into money of equal intrinsic and
exchangeable value, such' equality! to be
secured through int( r.iatiohal agree

Should this bill pass and be sent over
to the House, Speaker Crisp says li'ihere
will be two motions in order--one t& con
cur in the Senate amendment or substi
tute, the other to refer it to a committee.
Tlie expectation expressed was thai tlie
former motion would be made! and
adopted. The declaration in the foor
hees bill is so far satisfactory to tln, re
pealers in the House, thai, in ordel to
get prompt action on the bill it isbe
lteved they' will, concur in it witut

Mr. Bryan, the Nebraska Silver chati
pion. saul wien the question was put to

among the silver men and h-e did not.
know what they would do.
Mr. Pence, of Colorado hal definite
ideas on the subject.'- "How can you ob

he asked. "There-is no freedom of de
bate in the House: that much I've learned
since coining here. If necessary to se
cure prompt action, the Committee on
Rules will report an qrder for a vote."
The necessity of having a quorum in
the House to act upon the billT has been
one of the questions, considered. At

this week if possible, and the Speaker
anilTup Committee .oU Rules will do all
in their power io bring it aoout. if the
matter comes within their jurisdiction.
But adjournment does not rest upon the
Silver bill alone. The Senate must first
dispose of the McCrearv bill to amerd
and modify tlie Geary Chinese Restiic
tien and Registration act, before the ad
ministration will accede tq an .adjourn
ments but tli.-it bill can bei acted upon in
the Senate white the IJdusi-s - disposes of
tlie silver question. If " the Senate so
wills, and if both bodies earnestly pursue
the purpose which prominent members
of each express,' an adjournment of the
extra-sesHjan is not only aipossibility but
a probability.. Everybody is very tired
and ready to quit and coiiie back again
-in regidar session with strong resolu
tion to do betiej;. ' 1
The condition in the Senate can best
be set forth inthe following statements
which have been made tdj a reporter of
the Southern Associated ! Press by the
Senators' named who represent the two
factions in eaclr of the parties: .
Senater -torliee3, chairman of the
Finance committee and mjinage- of the
bill: . "The end is in sight, and it will be
unconditional repeal," I believe the vote
will come tins week and i hero may be a
probability of it coming even earlier.
The vote will be taken on the bill now
before the Senate and 1! am sure the
House will concur." k
Senator Harris, lender ;of the silver
Democrats on the Finance committee
"I am all at sea. but believe that the
end of the light is neat. ' j will nut be a
party to obstructive tactic. I am anx
ious for a vote on the ainfndments and
would take it to-day if pdssible. Then,
wljen thev .tre out of the.vr'ay, I .want to
see the vote taken on the ill itself as
soon as possible." .
Senator Aldrieh, Republican, repealer:
It, looks as if the St -natei would come
to a vote within a very slipt'C liine. lhe
Eeiublicans will be found where they
i i - . . i . i .i :i 1: - n
rooa ai ine outset, reauy auo uuii iu
otd for the bill as reported to the sen
ate by Senator Yoorhees." j r
Senator- Jmbois, Republican siivnte
and one of the most earnest workers
airaiiu.t repeal: "The silver Democrats.
having seen fit to abandon the light, I
hardly think the silver Republicans, will
feel "justified m resorting toolistructive
mettiods. 1 hey will probably insist that
debate shall be continued until we have
spoken who so desire; also that there
shall be full debate on I the various
amendments." j
The Populists were heardi from to the
following: Senator Allen, cof Nebraska;
"It begins to look as if the era w as
coming. I, for one, will never give up
until the -ycasTon runs over me. Ul course
I recognize the fact that I fcannot carry-
on the light alone." -i
It is the intention icf those m
charge of the bill, now that tlie struggle
has been abandoned, not - Xo push the
measure to a vote with unseemmg haste.
Senators Jones, Teller and: Stewart will
finish the. speeches they- have left unl
completed, and it is not improbable that
one Or tvo others m;v he made, lhe
belief is that very little will be. said by
tlie silver Democrats. A-quiet canvas:
was made this morning to ascertain ho w
lohg it would take for th2 delivery of the
remainder of these speeches, and from
that inquiry grows the opitiioh that tiie
votes on the amendments wdU be taken
by Friday. The vote on tlie ,: bill itself
will probably not be taken! until Satur
day, unless there should ibe: an uncx
ected disposition manifested not to con
same any- more time in debate.
There are twentv-seven amendments
to the Repeal bill which have been intro
duced in the Senate as "intended to be
offered." It is not 'generally believed
tliat a very large ter centige cf them
will.be ottered. Upon thi3 contingency
will depend the time of the disposal of
the bill aftir the voting is begun.

" j --... SENATE.
Washington, Oct. j 24. The Senate
was supposed to reassemble at 10 :30 o'clock
this morning to go on with the Legis
lative day of Tuesday of last week, but
it was a quarter of an jhour afterwards
that forty-three Senators, a quorum, had
made their appearance jin the Chamber.
The consideration of the Silver Purchase
Repeal bill was resumed, and Senator
Stewart continued his speech begun sev
eral weeks ago and taken up at various
times since then. After' he had spoken
an hour the absence ofa quorum was
suggested 6y Senator Power, and Sen
ator Stewart suggested mat there ought
to be a quorum present, ;as he had many
important things to say. The roll call
was answered by forty-six Senators, three
morej than a quorum, but before Senator
Stewart resumed the floof a motion was
made, by Senator. Kyle! that when the
Senate adjourned to-day, it adjourn
until to-morrow at nooni
Senator Voorhees hopejd that the mo
tion would not prevail, and was informed
by tup; Vice-President that the motion
was not open to debate, j
Senator Teller called for the yeas and
nays. ! The vote resulted yeas 5 (Cam
eron, Coke, Peffer, Stewart and Teller);
nays, 36. There was no. quorum voting,
as several Senators present withheld
their votes. The roll was again called
and lorty-eight benators responded.
Then the question was agaiu taken pn
Senator Kyle's motion and it was re
jectedyeas, 4 (Teller not voting); navs,
41. j : j
Senator Stewart then hvent on with
his speech against the Repeal bill. At
12:03 o'clock Senator Stewart, without
finishing his speech, yielded- tho floor to
his colleague, Senator Jones, w ho re
sumed his speech where he had left off
yesterday. In the course of his remarks,
a dialogue was carried on jbetween Sena
tors Jones and McPherson, as to the
causes of the recent depression in busi
ness. ; 1
Senator McPherson contended that one
of the chief causes was the! fear of the
free coinage of silver, and Senator Jones
repelled that suggestion and reminded
the New Jersey Senator that there had
been no talk of free coinage of silver
since three or four months iago, when the
panic began. The existence of the Silver
Purchase act, Senator McPherson con
tended,; had the same effect a3 free (Coin
age, because if that act i continued in
force long enough the result would be
that the value of that kind of money.
which was not par with good money,
was going to upset values,; He drew no
distinction, he said, between free coin
age an4 the Sherman act, except as to
quantity, lire Sherman! law would
bring the country to a silver basis . with I
the same certainty, though not so rapidly
as tree coinage. . j. -
Senator Jones replied to that by show- I
ing that the increase of circulation
through the operation of the Sherman I
aci nau not Deen sumcient to keep up the
range oi prices. jie nad the assurance
of the Senator's colleague (Smith) him
self a business man that business had
been stagnant and unprofitable for the
last fifteen years in this country.
Senator Jones yielded the floor, savins
that he j would conclude hia sueech at
another' time, perhaps' to-morrow, and !
that it vas not the intention, of any one
connected with his side of jthe question
to prolong the discussion any longer than
was necessary for them to give their
views entirely to the Senate and to the
people, i : j
Senator iTenes hd a much larger and
more attentive audien-Te among the Sena
tors to-day than he had yesterday, lie
did not confine himself to his prepared
speechr but occasionally broke out into
extempore remarks, which! were much
more interesting. The whole speech was '
delivered with great nergyj
Senator Faulkner said that, as he was
satisfied I that Senator Jones' closing re-
mark stated correctly the position of the
- Vf,,: 11 -
agreed to, and the Senate at 4 o'clock p.
m. took a recess until 11 o clock a. m. to
