LAST DATA—T T ATARIFF. The Final Remarks In the Long De- bate Over the Measure. SENATOR TELLE’R’S SPEECH. He Inveighs Against the Trusts and Meth- ods Which He Declares Were In- troduced Into the Last Cam- paign For the Presidency. Washington, July 24.—An effort was made in the senate today by Mr. Till- man of South arolina to have taken up for action t e resolution offered by him some time ago and reported ad- versely yesterday for an investigation of newspaper statements as to senators having engaged in speculation in Sugar trust stocks, but the regular order was called for by Mr. Allison, and the vice president ruled that the regular order was the tariff conference report. Mr. Tillman insisted on a yea and nay vote on his motion. It was taken, and the motion was defeated—yeas, 15; nays, 35. Senator Turley’ s (Tenn) first vote in- the, senate was given in favor of the motion. The other senators who voted yea Were Allen, Bacon, Bate, Berry, Cannon, Chilton, Clay, Harris, Kenney, Mills, Roach, Tillman, Turner and Walthall. A joint resolution for the erection of a government building at the Transmississippi International ex- position at Omaha was passed. ' The conference report was then taken up, and Mr. Teller, silver Republican, of Colorado addressed the senate. He said that he did not favor the bill and did not believe that it would accomplish the purposes of its friends. Its passage, however, would dispose of the question and enable congress to direct itself to other questions. The money question he regarded as the paramount one. -- It was of infinitely greater importance than the tariff bill. He had intended, he said, to'enter into. an extended discussion of the last campaign, but he felt that 'he‘would notbe justified in doing so at the last hour of the session. It had been cer- tainly the most remarkable campaign ever made in the United States; Its bitterness had never been excelled. A system of terrorism had been resorted to which had never been equaled in this country. The Last Campaign. A series of deceptions and frauds had been committed. He would like to say that, in his judgment, such thingswould not be repeated, but he was compelled to express the belief that, from the suc- cess of those‘methods, they would be repeated and would become a perma- nent feature or political campaigns. The entire public. press that supported the Republican ticket had teemed, he said. with falsehoods 'as to the character of the Democratic candidate and as to what would be the result if he-were elected. On the contrary, it had been said that if the Republican candidate were elected‘ the 'dark and lowering clouds would be scattered, and the sun- shine of prosperitywould spread over the country immediately. But he was elected and was inaugurated, and yet prosperity had not come. The world would never knew what sums of money were given by trusts, and they could be judged only by ex- amining this tariff bill. These great contributing concerns had come here and said in substance: “As We helped you win that fight against anarchy and socialism, what are we to have to re- coup our advances ?" Only on ‘that basis could a hundred things in this bill be explained. "It would be worth a mint of money," exclaimed Mr. Teller, “if we could know what the Sugar trust gave, what the Standard Oil company gave and what the great financial concerns gave. I suppose the finance committee knew and that they understand what meas- ure of benefit must be meted out to them.” The senator then went into the de- tails of the bill, in particular criticising its provisions as to agriculture and 1a.- bor, and severely commenting on the action of the conference committee in abandoning the tax on stocks and bonds. When Mr. Teller argued on the con- stitutionality of the tax on bonds and stocks, etc., Mr. Allison joined issue with him, saying that state courts had held that certain classes of bonds were exempt from taxation, and the tax, it imposed, could not apply equally to these and all other bonds.

The Wheat Market the Sensation of the Month — The Effect of Recent Heavy Movements of Merchandise—The ' Failures of the Week. New York, July 24.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review 'of trade says: The end of uncertainty regarding du- ties on imports gives greater confidence alike to those who have opposed and those who have favored the change. The great strength in stocks, particu- larly in those of the granger list, re- flects assurance of heavy crops. The remarkable rise in wheat, notwith- standing that assurance, is based on heavy buying for export and belief that foreign demands will be large. To these must be added another element of con- fidence scarcely observed a week ago: The heavy increase in receipts of gold, whether from one side of the Alaska border): or the other, ,swells deposits at the mint’s and in the banks of this country, and if the yield from new re- gions answers current expectations may have an influence akin to that of gold discoveries in California. The one retarding force, the strike of coal min— ers, has caused closing of a few manu- facturing works for want of fuel. The wheat market is the sensation of the month. Since July 2 the price had risen 12 cents Wednesday, when a reaction of 1 cent was :not surprising, but the close was 4 cents higher for the week. It is notable that this rise comes in the face of highly encouraging crop news which is not disputed and has for support nothing but foreign condi- tions and demand. Actual buying for export has at times been heavy, and loading of cargoes here and in Califor- nia for countries which usually con- tribute to European supplies greatly strengthens the impression produced by continental reports. Efiiat there is speculative handling behind the great advance is evident, and the buyingfor export 'has' not yet resulted in Atlantic exports quite. as large as last July to date, 4,632,440 bushels, flour included, against \ 4,961,746 last year. Western receipts, . 5,252,271 bushels in .July , against 10,275,257 last year, indicate concerted delay of shipments, which, however, rarely withstands the influ- ence of a substantial rise. Corn ex- ports are still heavy, 6,635,395 bushels in July against 2,421,999 last year, which perhaps reflects more certainly than the wheat m0vement the actual condi- tions abroad. , The Stock Market. The stock market has advanced, in average price of 60 active railway stocks every day since July 8, as it had ' then advanced with little- interruption about 'seven weeks. The average reach- ed,, $51.83 on Thursday, surpassed by,52_ cents per share the highest last year, made the week after the election, but railroads have a better prospect of business in grain and other freight than at that time or in September,,1895, when the .average reached $56.07. The rise since May 1 has averaged $5.81 per share, or 12.4 per cent, but earnings have also gained, though as yet rather less in July than in June, many impor- tant roads being unreported. It is a belief which fits many of the facts that some London speculators who had ac- quired a habit of playing on this mar- ket as their musical instrument thought the June rise should have stopped when they sold and have been selling and sorrowing since, iso that some trouble is feared. With a radical change in foreign trade at hand, heavy imports and with- drawals of merchandise are important only because they strengthen the treas— ury against any future. wants. Exports of merchandise last week Were $2,100,000 or 30 per cent larger than last year, but for July show no material change. For- eign exchange is strong, payments for sugar and for stocks sold by London contributing, but prices for sight Octo- ber bills show belief in a material de- cline. Commercial loans are in less de- mand, as preparations for the new tar- iff are over. Silver'has fallen to the lowest point on record, as London is heavily on the losing side of that mar- ket also. ' A Significant Improvement. Both because of the season and be- cause of pending action on the tariff, industrial operations are waiting and yet with an improvement which under such circumstances is significant. The half yearly production of pig iron ex- ceeded that of the last half of 1896 by 756,585 tons, but outside the great steel companies there is little activity at this time, though they are increasing their output. The Illinois company has sold basic steel for export to Germany, a New York sale of hoops for export to Manéhester is announced, and addi- tional orders for Pennsylvania iron bars to England. Bessemer pig is a shade lower, with other‘quotations unchang— ed, but the demand 'for plates, sheets, pipe and structural work is growing. The textile industries have lost no ground, as the curtailment of produc- tion in cotton for a time is really a gain. The demand has somewhat in- creased, but the accumulated stocks of goods must be reduced before impa- tience to buy can be expected. ' e de- mand for woolens increases as to low and mé’dium grades, with reported large sales at advances of 5 to 10 per cent over last spring. Speculative sales of-woo-l continue large and prices are very strong, especially at the west. Clearing house payments for the month increase 8.9 per cent over last year and for the first time slightly exceed exchanges in 1892. Failures for the week have been 227 in the United States against 281 last year, and 28 in Canada against 29 last year. The‘Thessallan Frontier. Constantinople, July 24.—-The embas- sadors of the powers and Tewflk Pasha have agreed upon the frontier clause in the peace treaty. The line drawn by the military attaches and insisted upon from the first by the powers has been accepted by the sultan with slight tech- nioal modifications. What Does the" Czar Intend?
