LEGISLATION Started ty tke V Coagrts Hi latpired Cualidctce of 1st Bataesita of tke Coaatry- New Ycn-k. March 20. HpeclaI to the Astorlan.) Ttie market for aecurltle shows a broadening and more active tendency omtt'ared with the condition noted In thee advice of last week. The movement 4s freer, and the under tone more confident. The feeling ha b"n strengthened through a consider able amount of stock oWng taken out of ttte market, sutiposed by a leading railroad capitalist, which la ie gardwl as a favorable Indication Of the prospects of that class of Invest ment. Another atrengthenlng' Influence has been the treasury report on fir elgn commerce, which shows an excess of export over imjort for February, amounting to .'4.500.000. Although this creditor balance Is considerably below the extraordinary monthly balances In our favor during the last half of tne year, yet It la murb more than suflces to aet off the debtor balances accruing outside the merchandise movement. and makes a atill further addition to the fund standing to our credit In other countries. Hill on Europe are still known to be held here to the amunot of t;'0,oOO.O(0. mostly representing re newals connected with export bills bought by local bankers several weeks ago; what may be the amount of un known holdings of the same character It la impossible to Judge. These assets will go far towards offsetting any In crease of imports arising from the prospective addition to customs duties, and to thou extent the effect will be to defer exports of gold from thi center which seem to be anticipated a lmedlate at London and Paris. An exaggerated, rojitructl.in .has been .put upon two small shipments of gold to Paris, which were made for some spe cial purpose and could not have been done from ordinary exchange coisld- I erat Ions except at a lose. The only thing connected wph the foreign exchanges calculated to su :ges; any misgivings Is the poslblllty thnt the political complications in i'ur.ipe may cause some of our securities to be sent home. It Is true that Amer ican stock and bonds have withstood the shocks of those complications In London better than other securities dealt in there; but London Is at pres ent much more sensitive than New York, and price yield less readily here than there, so that London real isations on this market are not fre quent. In this way we have taken from London stocks amounting proba bly to fully I2.50n.0i0 during the past week. A Tew doees of that sort, how ever. Is likely to put us more on the alert. ' So long as such a situation a now exists In Europe Is pending. It Is Im possible to suppress questionings as to what would result here In event of failure of the united powers to main tain peace. However Importable Buch failure may seem, yet the bare possl Ullty of It Involves such serious con tlngeiicltt first to Europe and next to us that prudent people will naturally discount the chances of the worst hap pening; and this fact tends to mod erate speculative operations and to restrain the rising tendency for which this nvarket stands. In other respects, well prepared. These factors, however, hold the "bull" spirit In check only very partially. How long this element of suspense may be continued It Is not easy to Judge; but at the moment there Is nothing to sugeot any proba bility that the political complications will fall of a reasonably early peaceful adjustment. One of the most assuring features of the International complications Is that, at least to the eyes of ordinary observers, there has been nothing to suggest any suspicion of bad faith between the powers. Naturally,, there has been a suspicion that some of the governments, Kussla especially, might turn the occasion to their ac count for purposes Incompatible with tha Interests of the other parties to the concert. That suspicion rests upon such radical grounds that it will hard ly be dispelled until a harmonious peace is finally established, and abso lute confidence is. therefore, at pres ent not attainable. It lsto be con sidered, how ever, that npne of the pow ers, not even Russia. Is now In a con dition favorable to the realization of any ambitions seriously Involving the relation between the European powers. All are m,ore concerned with Interests In Asia aiW Africa than with any redistribution of the map of south eastern Europe. It is to the Interest of all parties that Turkish, Balkan and Grecian questions should, for the pres ent at least, be patched up and left over; for more radical treatment at some more convenient season. This Is the great saving factor in the sit uation, and It strongly suggetsta a probability that the powers) will pull together and use whatever force may prove necessary to settle the position of Crete and prevent Oreece from pre cipitating war with Turkey and the Balkan state from Joining In the melee. Thla seems about the view enter tained by intelligent observer In Wall street; and London and Paris appear to regard thla as the direction In which the probabilities largely preponderate, t'pon thla baal operators here show a d Ik position to follow the strong drift of the market toward higher prtea. Hlnce Wednesday a much more buoyant feeling has been developed. There is a system In operation which seems to suggest a oo-operatlve effort to give the market a general lift throughout thn list. One stock after another is taken up In an apparently preron erted order. Large purchase by the Vanderbllt following appear to have given the cue to the market; and the readiness with which that lead la fol lowed by otlwrs indicate that the rising tendency which set in during the latter half of the week is some thing more than a momentary spurt. It receivw more support than appears on the surface from the opening of congress. The speolal seslon conveys the feeling that the new administra tion has taken hold of prartkal legis lation with a will and Is In earnest to remedy the evil conditions from which the country has been so long suffering. There Is something Inspir iting In the awiurarvcea thus conveyed that there will be a speedy end to the deficiencies of revenue and to the embarrassments of the treasury. The new tariff legislation, though electing sharp differences of opinion at the outset. Inspires confidence In the mer cantile circles by the promise that the outcome will be a revival of our Industries under the policy that, up to 1SS3, had made the country thriving and porsperoua The result of all thla Is to dispel the discouraging conscious ness of being surrounded by abnormal conditions and dubious pot Idea, and to produce that feeling of settledness which encourages the steady pursuit of business. All this Is wholesome and conducive to confidence, and the pwrt week has given us a foretasti of the better times which It all por tends. Wail street la not likely to fall to respond to these new conditions. HENRY CLEWS. RAILROAD WAR. Is Threatened by the Breaking l"p of the Association. Chicago, March 23. Chicago & Njrth weniern. Missouri Pacific and St. Loula and San Fraoclco filed notices of withdrawal today from all traffic asso ciations of which they were members. The St. Louis Air Line also wlthdrew from the Southern States Association, of which it was a member. A meet ing of the executive officers of the Western roads was held today at the office of the third vice president of the Santa Fe to talk over the situation. At the close, however. It was an nounced that no concerted action had been decided upon and none was Ilkoly to be. The more the decision of the supreme court Is considered the more clearly does tt appear that not a vest ige of ground Is left the traffic associa tions, as they have heretofore been conducted, on which to stand. All tiat now remains for the roa;;; to do Is to direct their energies to necuring legislation that will open some way for them to conserve their Interests and prevent their revenues from being dissipated by mad competition. As yet no rate-cutting ha been re sorted to. The roads are attending to routine business and seem to be afraid to take aggressive action of any kind. CNION PACIFIC OPINIONS. Denver. "March 25. Receivers Fred erick R. Coudert, E. Ellery Anderson and Oliver W, Mink, General Mana ger Dickinson, and other officials of the Cnlon raolftc arrived today upon a tour of Inspection. "I can hardly say," said Mr. Mink, "whtt will be the effect of the supreme court decision in the trans-Mlseourl case. The rnlon Pacific has not acted as yet and I cannot forecast what we will do. Much depends upon the de velopments of the next few days." "The breaking up of the associa tions," said Mr. Dickinson, "means a general demoralization of rates and eventually a most disastrous wsr. When war comes It would be the sur vival of the fittest. The big roads are alle to take advantage of this to crush their rivals. I hardly believe any of the roads are looking for trouble, but trouble will come, now that ?ah line Is on an Independent basis. The re lations between the Union Paciflc f.nd Oregon Short Line remain undlsturoed and no change in traffic agreements sfms likely. The railroad business is gradually improving. Business Is better now on the Union Pacific than a year ago. WILL BE SEARCHED. London, March 25. In the commons today parliamentary secretary of for eign affairs George Curxon, replying to a question on the subject of the Cre tan blockade as applicable to British and American vessels, said that both British and American ships carrying cargoes belonging to Englishmen rr Americans and destined for the Interior of the Island are liable to be visited, searched, and delivery of the cargo prohibited. THE FOUR DAYS DEBATE ENDED Tariff hill Kill Xow Be Discussed ! the Huuse Inder Pive Minute Rule. DALZELL TAKES L P THE FIGHT Oefeitf tk Dill aa4 Trista-Dolsgs Ii th Staate Ckanlier titeraatioail Bimetal-lisa-Ruar Grow ficetloa. Washington, March 25 The four days' general debate lo the house on the 'Dingley bill closed tonight. ..Be ginning tomorrow the bill will be open for debate under the five-minute rule until next Wednesday, when the rote will be taken. Bailey, the opposition leader, who was to have closed the general debate for hla side today, waa unable to make hla apeecb. owing to a more throat, and a mutual arrange, ment was made for an hoor'o debate on each side Juat before the final vote Is taken. Speechmaldng today waa not of a rery lively order, but the crowds la the galleries continue. Five members of the ways and meana committee spoke today Tawney, Daisell. Ruseell, Payne and Stone. Other speakers at the sewion were Talbott. Clark. Ma gulre, Gunn, Cox. McRae, Grow, Simp son, Curtis, Burke. Lenti. Cotsoa, Haw. ley, Darmond and Fitzgerald. Daixelt reviewed the malts of the Wilson and McKlnley law and de nounced the ad valorem system as giving opportunity for Immense under valuation. "Idle men and women, busy soup houses and starvation" had marked the period of the Wilson bill He ridiculed the statement of the minority that it offered no substitute for the bill because It had had no time to prepare one, and -Inquired If the democrats expected the country would be willing to hava them air , their theories at a cost of a million a day. He defended the bill on the charge that It fostered trusts. The political economy of Adam Smith has Ung - siaee "he-en... relegated , where tt , belongs, he said. "The Industrial world has been revolutionised by the Intro duction of the factory system. It ts no longer a single farmer or l single mechanic, but aggregations cf wealth necesj-jry to engage In vast enterprises which are recognised by the laws of every' state." He would not say there were not abuses Incidental to the sys tem, but In free trade England tlwre were more monstrous trusts than In the United States, and he cited the English steel rail trust and read from an English paper concerning the new combination of armament manufac turers. The cry about trusts was an exhibition of ignorance of economic conditions. IN THE SENATE. Washington, March 2S. la the senate today the discoml on over the creden tials of Henderson of Florida brought out "the statement from Hoar, acting chairman of the committee on privi leges and elections, that the action on the pending election cases was de layed by the uncertainty as to the committee organization In the senate. Stewart said the general feeling waa that the senate was capricious In Its action on these cases, and that there should be some definite settlement of the whole subject. , Spooner suggested that the question hod already been elaborately argued and settled both way "The Inference from that sugges tion," pursued Stewart, "la that we vote on these coses according to our political convicttons." 'The manner "of settling this is by means of an international agreement for the free coinage of sliver," re marked Hoar, tfaoetlousJy. "When that la accomplished the senator from Ne vada will have no further objections." BIMETALLISM. Washington. March 25. Senator Wolcott, who has Interested himself la international bimetallism, expressed the opinion today that the recent ac tion In Japan In attempting to de preciate silver would hasten Interna tional action .to restore the equality of the two metals.
