New TTorfc Stock Market. ! New York,! February 24. When busi ness was resumed at me siuc. ex change this morning, the bullish feel ing, was in the ascendant. The opera tors for a rise ignored the fractional decline reported from London and were inclined to take a more favorable view of the situation, especially as the St Paul statement for the third week of February showed an increase in earn ings as compared with last year, ana as it was announced that the orders for steel rails had reached such pro portions that the Pennsylvania steel works were I refusing new orders at anything less than $20 per ton. Those who were running the marlcet,, and they are generally men of small cali bre, bought with more freedom than of late and succeeded In lifting prices to 1 per cent. In a few instances, the rise was still more marked, Minnesota iron moving up 4, Consolidated Gas 2 and Leather preferred 1 per cent. The last mentioned was favorably in- nuenced ror a time oy tne annual re port submitted to the stockholders at their meeting today. The shorts be came nervous because of their inabili ty to force I out stocks held by weak hands and they' too, started in to buy with the result of stimulating the rise The ' upward movement was checked during the afternoon by the introduc tion in the senate of the resolution de manding the prompt release of San- guilly, now imprisoned in t Cuba. This gave speculation a chill, as it was im mediately suggested by the bears that the resolution In question meant a fresh batch of disquieting rumors about the Cuban situation. The mark et developed increased weakness as the session grew to a close and not only was the early improvement lost, but a number of ileadmg stocks like Man hattan, Burlington . and .

Previous to that hour business was extremely dull and uninteresting. The war news from Europe was the bull argument all through last week, and now that things over there have assumed a less aspect, holders are begin threatening ning to display discouragement, it. was "long"! wheat which was mamiy responsible for today's break, although the bears helped it along. Cash wheat was weak and lc lower. The confidence shown in the corn market yesterday was absent today. A St. Louis operator of considerable prominence who has recently been doing some heavy -buying was not in the market to any extent today. A big "short"! line was covered yester day, thus removing the support which would naturally come from it. Under these circumstances, little life and not much strength was apparent. Wheat being easy was another adverse factor. There was a decline when wheat broke later, no support being accorded prices. Cash corn was c lower for No, 4, but other grades were steady, Most of the trading in May oats dur ing the morning was at 17 to 17c a fractional loss from yesterday's close. Weakness was partly due to heavy ar rivals, but the action of wheat and corn was of more importance as any in fluence. Prices declined further," when the other1 markets collapsed. Cash oats were c lower. A fair improvement in product prices was quotable, but the trade was cey tainly devoid of interest or aptivuy. First reports from the h.Q8 market gave an advance ot &o and subsequent ones added another 6c. This was the con sideration i affecting product May pork; closed 10c higher.

Every one, both bulls and bears, seemed anxious to liquidate the re maining Interest in March contracts and ' this liquidation again furnished the bulk of the day's trading. Deliv-r ery notices circulated freely all day, but exerted no depressing influence on prices. The Liverpool market was un inviting this morning and our opening was 1 point down.

The Sun's cotton review says: Spot cotton here, was unchanged, with sales of 1,116 bales for export and 203 or spinning. The cotton market was devoid of new or interesting developments. The trad ing was moderately active, but the fluctuations in prices wera confined within a narrow range.' At the opening- prices declined slightly. 'The Liv erpool news was disappointing i and tired holders sold. March notices for about 25,000 bales were circulated, but were quickly stopped. Toward the close the market became firmer by buying by some of the early sellers, and at last prices in the general list showed a net advance of the day. Liv erpool was a small buyer here, but the trading was almost wholly local and of a switching character. There was a fair demand for spot cotton; the south ern markets were firm; the exports from ports were liberal; the receipts were small, and the estimates for New ripans and Houston tomorrow light. , I . . . were "A Pinafore Cane In Onr Navy." Washington", ' February 24. Admiral Ramsay has j cabled Captain Yates Sterling, of the Lancaster at Monte video,, to! restore Sailmaker Jones to duty, quashing all proceedings against him .thus terminating a case at "Pin afore" principle that has caused no end of amusement in the navy. ; According to the ship's log, Jones had been susDended ' for heine- rirunt arly last December, following this ac tion six I days later with a trial bv court-martial upon the customary spe cifications of unbecoming conduct c-to Tones set up as a bar to the proceed ings that, first, the captain, was not commander-in-chief of the United States naval force Jn the South At lantic, and, second, that he had been nreviously punished for the offense.

The fire worked down wards to the fourth, and third floors. but the firemen managed to confine the flames to the northeast portion of the building.; The immense trading hall was protected from the flames, but was badly damaged by the immense "inn. tity of water poured in on the upper loors. At' 4 o clock the fire was under control. The fire was caused by defective electric light wires in the elevator shaft. '. .

Sherman, the coming secre tary of state, says he thinks congress should amend the civil service law, so as to prohibit the senators and repre sentatives from applying for the ap pointment of any person to an execu tive office. Why did he, a law maker for forty years, endeavor long ago to bring about this prohibition, instead of persistently taking advantage of the pryilege of applying for appointments. Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier. Mr. Cleveland Is to blame in a great measure for his unpopularity with the senators of his own party. He has refused to consult them about matters concerning which they have been ac customed to be consulted, and he has ignored their suggestions when they have offered! them. In other words, he has treated them as if he did not have the fullest' Confidence in their desire to advance the public welfare, partic ularly in instances in which their in terests and those of the public come in conflict. Naturally they are not dis posed to assist him ' in any way. On the contrary, they, are ever ready . to oppose him and hid wishes, Savannah News. One hundred and one years ago, Washington's farewell address was read by the public for the first time. Whatever assistance Washington may have had in the phrasing of his farewell address, the substance and sentiments are all his. He was a man of robust intellect, and rarely failed to Impress his views upon others. And though, ih the drafting, elaboration, criticism, and revisuon of the address he had first and last; the help of Madison, Hamilton, Jap, Pick ering, Wolcott, and McHenry, the pa per never ceased to be the embodiment of Washington. "Finally, Washington revised the whole and it was then made public." "My wish," said he, "is that the whole may appear in a plain style, and be handed to the public in an hon est, unaffected, simple part." Rich mond Dispatch. That idea of man-woVship, which would wreck the entire Amercian sys tem of government, in order that the stubborn views of one man may pre vail, is one full of danger for the fu ture. Under our system we have three departments of government, all of which should command equal respect and equal consideration. No one dis putes the rights or attributes of the president. He has the right to veto, and upon him devolves the execution of the laws. Congress has the right, riot only to make laws, but to orignate them and ' pass them over the presl dent'sveto, without any regard as to whose "ox is gored thereby." It is when the president and his friends" presume to belittle congress because it performs its duties that the right to criticise comes in. It is a weak argu ment to say that the senate, in the ex ercise of its functions, is guided by the "personal interest" of the members. It is just as easy to answer by saying 'that the president is equally interest ed by personal motives. The fact of the matter is, dismissing all these pros and cons, that Mr. Cleveland, through some defect in his mental make-up, could not realize the metes and bounds of the presidency, and he tooK uyon himself the airs and attributes; - of an autocrat. The members of his cabinet were but as clerks, and not advisers. Congress existed 'simply as an obsta cle in his way. Atlanta Constitution.
