Washington, June 25.— The senate
committee on Pacific railroads today
agreed to report favorably a resolution
introduced by Senator Harris, o f K an
sas, expressing the sense o f the senate
that the Uniteti States should redeem
the Union Pacific from prior liens and
take steps to foreclose the government
mortgage.
The resolution was amended by the
addition of a provision at the instance
of Senator Morgan, requesting that the
president sus|»eiid proceedings to carry
into effect an agreement alleged to
have been made to sell the interest o f
the United States in the Union Pacific
railroad and in the sinking fund until
the further action of congress had refer
ence thereto.
The action of the committee was
unanimous.

in many years.
Were there any
speculation we would see higher prices
at once, hut the market is in a rut and
so narrow that it is at present con
trolled by a few professionals who are
scalping for small profits. W h ile the
present dullness lasts, we hardly look
for a bull market, but our supplies are
getting so low that the short side is
very dangerous to be on, aud we advise
our friends to buy wheat on the little
breaks at present, and be satisfied with
small profits until sim ulation revives,
or there is a material change in the
situation.
