The one thing nnlful to bring out an ImiHMtant Investment dtMiiaiid from tii'i'man.i Is the etuutnieivt of a law tlia.t would wH"d out Ihc weak elements In our I'UiTenoy aystent and put our paper money upon a broiul basin of gold redemption. They and Euro pean Inventors generally acknowledge an 4mHirtaiit Improvwnont In the quitl Ity and tnwtwortlilnensi of (Hir corpo rate uuuiaKenient, but they wait for morn conclusive evidence that the pay ment of our obligation in )i!d or Its reprenentatlven will be InMiired. It Is much to bo hoped that congrwa will siHin set thks muitter boyond all doubt. The Increajiliig abundance of lillo funds at this center was Illustrated by lont week's bank statement, which shown! a surplus of 07.000.000 over the legal reserve. It might Indicate a more active commercial condition If this money found employment In the ehan enls vf trade; but of one thing there can be no doubt that tho effect of this accumulation of idle capital must have the effect of Increasing the demand for securities and thereby enhancing prlc. Moreover, It Is not entirely Just to reason that this plethora of money Is due alone to commercial Inaotlvlty. The large dllne In the prices of merchan dise ha very materially reduced the amount of money needed for trans acting current buslnemi, and oouso iiuently money accumulates In the bank reservoirs. Put however this may be, It seetiis quite posaible that this local abundance of money may be In creased by a renewal of Importations of gold. The export bills hold here tor tranxli-nft Investment- are now begin ning to mature freely and are going forwanl for cojlecitlon. It Is estimated that about 110.00.000 dollars of this ma turing exchange has been shipped this week, and a steady sLreaun of It Is expected from this time forward. Lon don Is Iberotnlng alive to this move ment and Its dream of receiving gold from the Tnlted Suites has been dis pelled. Thcue liquidations will place to our credit a great masa of gold; ami what portion of It may come this way must depend principally on what In- 'iu''tii"iil may exist for allowing It to remain abroad. The iMuilrig rste In the op n mnrket U so m-arly th same at IMxIon and New Vork tlmt It Is not easy to see what Induoemi-rit tl-re Is to draw It hither, especially as Its ar rival would still fun foer ditpress the lo cal rate of Interest. It had beem ex- t.xl that. In vie of the Hank of Kngland rat being W fx-r oent above tlw iM-n tnarkHt rate, th Ijsnk would reduce Its rale Thursday; but the? furl treat It kept It at Vk per rent seems to It-eply chat fch maiiaarers desire to prevent the export of gold and to cre ate? a rate which would encourage loans by New York t Ixmdon A few daya nvre will develop this sltuntl'm more fully. In the meantime, the course of our foriilgn trade shows little tendency iiwarls any rwawtlon from the- large surplus of rxxerut over ImiKirts which Ihwi precolled for the past Ave nvmths. On rlM- t.-mrtrary, the- Import at New Vrk for Urn nrst rhree w.-eks of this month arvrted to only ;)i,'"i,0'i0, agulrurt f4S.3M.oi-n for the same p-rlod iw. ruifr-AiriB; a u-w-iine ttf a.i per j cent; and the movement at this port Is generally proportionate to that at others. In gemeral buiein-ss, tleough th'Te Is no active bosn such aa sotne have un riuiiaMy expected, yet there la a fair aggregate of transae:tlons. After such a profound shock aa the Ouuntry expe rienceel lat year, thnr. ts. howener, a j r-4nnevnt f e-autlon w hlJi induces a luuxl-lo-mouth method of buying that in-oduces me dlsipt-tntmrnt among "Hers, although the aggregate of trans action I undoubtedly larger than their llllpreewlntui lead thetn to suppose.

Uoth branche'S of the K'tflshnure after a session con suming the e'tulre day, adjourned this afternoon till Monday at 2 o'clock. The meetiem In the house to adjourn till Mon day was tppotd by the miildle-of-the-rond l'opulists, but tlnally prevailed by a closee vote. They claimed that the henise sluiuld Ik 111 seneion each day. In the senate this jnornlnK, Stmator Taylor tmule a bitter sieech In denun clatlem of the statement made by Sen ator Squire before the seinaterlal Inves tigating committee last evening that he was ene of the men whom Warner claimed were ill the combination that could bo hainlUd with money In the sen atorial fight. Taylor referred to Squire as a "cur," and dtunanilexl the apiolnt nnnt of a oommlttee to Investigate the matter. The committee was appointed and at Taylor's rexpjeet was composed of three Republicans, all thus being of opposite iHilKlcal faith. Mewt of the day In liot'h houses was devoted to the sicond reading of bills, and no Import ant mea.iuiv wre passed by either bewly. THE MARKETS. Portland. February 5.

THAT QUARANTINE STATION Approved by Commission Kenny 8eU ee Mr Klnley Kate on Wood Re stored by the Committee. . WashingVrti, February 5. Senator Al drlch, and the-r frltnvl of the Nicara gua canal bill, had a conference with HM-aknr Reed and other heeuse leaders during the day regarding the possibility of Uu Mil Mint brought up In the house In case It should pas the sen ate. The result Is" that the bill will be abandoned In the senate next Monday and the bankruptcy bill brought for ward. , The friend of the Nicaragua bill, while In the majority, doubt If the sen at" can be brought to a vote, but they know the futility of their efforts unless there is some assurance that the bill will receive t-onstderatlon in the house. Nothing but a physical teat would bring the bill to a vote now, and a large number of those supporting the bill will not subject thcmaelve to such a test when t will not even be taken up In the house. The coruTerenoe today convinced the senators that the Nica ragua bill will not receive considera tion in the house, and they decided H wad better to withdraw It. The senate today admitted Richard O. Kenny to the Delaware aeat vacated man)' ntomUia ago by Higglna and which hem since been the subject of continuous controversy. This augment ed the Dern'cratlc membership to 40, and for the first time raised the full membership to its proper quota of M. It effect no present change In the par ty strength, however, the divisions be ing: Republicans, including Independ ents, 44; DcmeTorata, 40; Populists, 6; to tal, 5. ' -' --' All oppe-eitiun to th. seating of Ken ny was withdrawn, the Republican sen ator oonce-vllng that his credentials from Geivernor Tunnel, certifying that a regular legislature had chosen him In due form, gave him a prima facie right of h.lml.-enmn. Chandler and Hour expressed! this view and stated that Kenny's title would be attacked hereafter on the titjHiml thait his credtntials, while pri ma facie ceerree t. came from a legisla ture fraudulently elcted. Hoar made the further statement that the Duiont cam muld not be re-opened, having eenoe ben-ti nted uiKin by the senate. The result ef this course is to leave J. K. Addleks as a conteeslant for the seat held by KeMiny. Wahlngten, February 5. The house iSemmlitee on e?ommerce today decided ti favorably reiwrt the bill f.r the es tablishment of a quarantine station at Asteiria, Oregem, carrying an approorla t ion of 30,0i0. The Itepulbican members of the ways and mean cotiunlttee devoted their at tention today to the schedule of wood and manufactures of wd and decided to reetre tlie McKinley rates practical ly in full, with the Important exception of white pine. In resiKineee to a general demand of the representatives of the lumber lntenvet, who complained that the Canadians were capturing the American market for white pine, this wood was raised to its old rate, In the act of 1SS3, which is 2 per thousand feeH saw?d. Manufactures of pine, clapboards and shingles are raised correspondingly, so that all forms In pine will pay the same eluty as spruce. Pine was dutiable at $2 undtr the law for 1SS3. but when the McKinley bill was framed the rate was reduced to SI. The Wilson act placed lumber, and nearly all forms of woed on the tree li.it. I'nder the revived McKinley .H'hetlule, timber, squared or sided, will pay one-half cent per cubic fexet; saw ed boards, planks and other lumber of hemlock, ' white wood, sycamore, and bnsa wood, 1 per thou.iand fe;et, board mtiasure; and other sawed lumber $2 per thousand feet. Lumber planed or llnlshed will pay fifty cents a .thousand feet in addition, for each side planed or finished, and fifty cents per thousand feet when tongued and grooved. The conferees on the Immigration bill which was yesterday recommitted to them, reached a second agreement to day. The requirements In the first re pert that Immigrant shall read "the Kngllsh language, or the language of their native or resident country," Is changtd so as to require them only to rtad "the English language, or aome other language." This section was also amended so as to admit the Illiterate wive and minor children of Immigrants who are otherwise qualified and capa ble. Senator Lodge, manager of the bill on the part of the senate, says he think it will now. past without any serious oppewitkin, as changes have been made to meet moat of the material objection.

Would It Be Affected by the Adoption In America of Free Coinage? Washington, February 5. Senator Sherman, chairman of the senate com mittee on foreign relations, ha given notice that he will aesk the senate to go Into legislative session Monday, Im mediately after the dbrposal of the rou tine morning business, for the purpose of taking up the arbitration treaty. It I expecrte-d the motion will be antag onized by those who desire to have other measure eonldered. While the silver senators deny that they are opposing- the treaty, the fact leaked out today that Senator Daniel raised the point that In case the United State jihould adopt the free coinage of silver, England would have a claim under the treaty for the difference be tween the principal and Interest of American debt herld In England under the new systm with a double standard. and under the old, or present system with the single standard. It was sug gested that If this question should become the subject of arbitration H would lead to many ompllcatlons. While the senator did not contend that such would be the case, he argued that the position was one which deserved serious consideration. R. G. DUN'S REVIEW. New York. February 5. The R. O. Dun V Co.' Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: "No Important change In business ap pears, but the number of manufactur ing establischmetvts starting much ex eeus the number of those stopping during the w eek; so much that the cur tailment of working time in many cot ton mills probably does not leseeai the aggregate amour t of wages paid. Th.-re Is a di.itin.it increase In orders for woolen goods, some gain In silk manufacture awaiting condition, with a gain In the one branch of boots and shoes and the ineiication of bettw tiines i-oniin In Iron and ste?eH manufacture. All the symptoms are faorat:e in the money market, and the large eale of tiecuritles in conne?ctkn with the Nor thern Pacific and Oregon Railway and Navlgatkm Co.'s interest to European purchose-rs put ofr the still further pos sclbllity ef mure gold exports. It is a cheering evidence of confidence among European investors. To many It is a moest perplexing- feature of current events that w heat does not rice much, though it has advanced lc for the wee-k.
