For two hours and a half the Democratic members of the Senate caucus discussed the order of j business 11 lis afternoon behind closed doors and ut the expiration of that timej were unable to agree, and adjourned to meet sgain Thursday. TJ Sre was not ati any time a full representation of the ma4 ority present, and when the hour of 4 b'clock caiae the number had dwindled jto twenty- ;hree, hardly sufficient to take positive" action on any proposition, j The caujcus was called ostensibly tc consider ai order of business and to de cide what measures should be giyen preference in the work of the session. There w as a great difference of opin ion and almost before the caucus knew it, it was plunged into a discussion as t0 the advisability of attempting to change the rules Jbo as to provide for cloture anjl the counting of a quorum. The men who advefcated this are those who desire to tee thej so-called pop-gun bills of the House passed by the Senate. . j Senator Harris admonished his asso ciates tbt this was the short sessiop; that a vast amount of work was befo(e the Senate and it behooved their party to get together at the earliest possible moment nnd.sgree upon some plan jf action;.

X ! There & as seme very plain talk in re gard to the pop-gun Tariff bills and the sentiment wa3x pretty evenly divided. Senators ones and Harris agreed with SDme 6t tlieir colleagues that these meas ures ouglpt to be passed, but they very frankly told their colleagues of 'the dif ficulties that l9y in the pathway of. suc cess and asserted that the Republicans had informed them in the Finance com mittee that nothing touching the tariff should be enacted into law at this ses sion.

New Orleans, Dec. 4 There has been a great deal cf excitement on the floor of the Sugar Exchanged several days past over the report that the Sugar trust had been using its influenqle to the detriment of Louisiana sugar and was yirtually excluding it from the jmarkets inwhich it came into competition with the product manufactured by the trust. Thei cause of the excitemenl among the membersofthe Sugar Exchange in this city i3 found in the receipt f a let ter a day or two since by a prominent firm of sugar brokers of this city from abroker in Omaha j Neb., in which the fact became prom inent that the Sugar trust waslsvorking to the! detriment of xthe Louisianasugar by cohtracting with the associations tC wholesale grocers of that district to handlo only standard, or "trusf sugar. It appears that the wholesale grpcers of Omaha-have been "approached! bytbe agents of the trust, and overtures have been iniade whereby tb.8 .grocfers con tracted to list theLouisiana granulated s'ugarj which is lower than the trust sugar, at the same figures aske for the standard. This, accordingto the state ment of the sugar people ofthis city, virtually means the shutting oujjof the market of the5 , Louisiana product, as, owing to the fact that tb'se sugars are not widely known, the former product will bb exclusively handled. x The: trust in making xthe proposition above, requires of the wholesale dealers that they shall sell the standard granu lated at a certain figure. When; the pur- cbased etock is exhausted, sold at the figures named by the trust, the latter allows the dealer a rebate cn thej product sold and insures him a fair profit on his deal, j The proposition was favorably considered by the dealers, fol it gives them a profit on the transaction! no mat ter at what figures the sugar is sold. In addition to this the trust further! requires that the dealers refuse jto list Louisiana" yellow clarified sugars. The assent to this on the part of the dealers Excludes this grade of sugar from the markets oi the country. j ' j B. Kolb's Proclamation. Birmingham. Ala. Dec. 42 R. F.

Efforts to Get Jthe Kecaragua Canal Bill Before the House Its Advof .cates Consulting; Speaker Crisp A Courtj-Martial Sentence Reduced Decrease of Money in Circulation This Year. i Washington J Dec. 4. The first Free Coinage bill ol the session was intro duced in the I use to-day by Mr. Hart man, Republican, of Montana. The bill provides for a silver dollar of 412 grains of standard silver and authorizes the holders of silver bullion to the amount of $100 or more td have the same coined at any United States mint. The dollars coined are to be a legal tender for all debts public an d private. j This fripnn'n nf ti NipBrnonmn f,arta biU are making an effort to get it before the House. MrL Mallory, of Florida, who was ,the chairman of the special com mittee which framed the bill now on the calender, had a conference this morning with Speaker Crisp regarding the meas ure. The Speaker has been regarded in the past as being hostile to the proposi tion, but the impression is based upon his objection Ijo giving it consideration at the last session. In his talk with Mr. Mallory Speaker Crisp manifested no op position to tho measure, but on the con trary promise i to bring it . to the atten tion of the Co enmittee on Rules at their next meeting, The bill, under any! cir cumstances, rill meet with fierce antag onism from certain, democrats, who will oppose it on c jnstitutionaljgrounds. j Mr. Mallory says if the measure can be brought to a ifote it will pass. Secretary lerbert has decided to re duce by .one-half ,the sentence imposed by court-martial upon Lieut C. F. Norton, the executive officer cf the cruiser Adams, who vas recently tried at Mare Island for pei mitting that vessel to run on the Pribyloff islands. The sentence suspended hiijn from duty for one 'year and to loss of numbers during the time, secretary He: bert will reduce the time of suspension to six months. Since the Stewart syndicate was awarded the entire bond issue of $50, 000,000 only 2,100,000 in gold have been withdrawn from the treasury in ex change for legal tender notes. In the ten days preceding the acceptance of that bid and when it was under con sideration the withdrawals of gold in ex change for treasury notes amounted to only $5,000,000. The aggregate of gold withdrawals from the treasury in con nection with the last bond j issue has been 17,100,000. The go'.d I with drawal in connection with the previous $50,0C 0,000 bond issue was in the neigh borhood of $ao,000.000. Ihe circulation, according to the official treasury state ment issued to day, decreased during the month bf November $34,866,971, making the circulation of all kinds of money in thejUnited States on December 1st stand at f l,o37iasb,4ol, or fd.755 per Capita, based (on 69,010,000 of population.

Stocks and Bonds In New York The , Grain and. Provision Markets of Chicago. I Chicago, Dec. 4. The course of prices t the StocK Exchange to-day was very irregular, but an undertone of strength as noted. , At the opening there were moderately heavy sales of the Grangers, the result of the poor statements of the St. Paul and Rock Island for November. London was a seller of the former, the foreigners evidently fearing a suspen sion of dividends next spring. St. Paul Ml If percent, to 57$, Burlington to 91, Rock Island i to 6!jf, and North western li to 98. The decline led to purchases to cover short sales and the early loss was more than recovered, ex cept in the case of St Paul and North western, which rallied to 58 and 99J re spectively. After the Grangers, the In dustrials were most prominent in the dealings. Sugar dropped to 821 and, later, advanced gradually to 85. The dividend matter is much dis cussed in speculative circles. Usuallv teifwfv,16 8tlU to. I fininiOTl thftt thA 1 1 Q VCmOTOr intorecf mill opinion that the Havemeyer interest will succeed in bringing about a reduction in the rate. While the dividend meeting is scheduled for to-morrow, it is likely that action will be postponed until the effect of President Cleveland's message to Con gress is known. Chicago Gas gave every evidence of covering by an important short interest. - New firms were em ployed to buy in the stock.which rallied from 69 to 72. The general list, after the opening weakness, improved and closed strong. Sterling exchange was not as strong as on yesterday and money was decidedly easier, a broker having off ered $2,000,000 at 1 per cent, on call. The report of Secretary Carlisle had no influence what ever - on speculation, which closed strong, which prices anywhere from i to 2i per cent, higher than on yesterday. American Tobacco fell 1, St. Paul H and Bay State Gas i per cent. Total sales were 182,000 shares, of which 66,500 were Sugar, 36,500 St. Paul, and 27,500 Chicago Gas. The bond market was dull and higher. Chicago. Dec. 4. The opening of the grain markets to-day was a promising one. Wheat was up from to a 4c from the closing quotations of yesterday, the other cereals exhibiting equal strength. In wheat the advance was not substan tial, short sellers and holders alike taking advantage of the situation and selling freely. Among the noted local professional who disposed of wheat in liberal quantities were Ream & Linn and they naturally had a- good fol'owiog. Pardridge was also an active seller. BradstreeVs report of the world's visible supply brought about a spurt at noon, but it was evident that the rally it caused was being waited for, the offer ings multiplying at every slight fractional advance, until the market finally yielded, prices dropping back to the lowest point of the season, the decline being checked by buying against "puts." Cash wheat trading was at an advance of ic over yesterday, but the nominal close was weak with the futures. After previously resisting all efforts at depression, the corn market gave way to selling, in sympathy with wheat during the latter part of the session. Uash corn was firm and higher prices ruled in that branch of trade. The average advance was tc. ; Oats absorbed some of the weaknet s of wheat, but did no decline much, owing to the extremely light volume bf trade. Cash oats were firm. Trading was at an advance of I to ic, the close being nominally easier. j The product market was without fea-? ture, prices drifting downward from ack of support. The live hog market was weak and lower, which furnished the excuse for weakness early. Later, the direction taken by wheat was imi tated by provisions and the close was at the lowest point of tho day. The world's stocks of lard were said to have in creased 36,000 tierces during the past month, which was an item in favor of weakness. Closing prices were 224c low than yesterday for January pork. 10 to 121c lower for January lard and l5c lower fqr January ribs.
