The market haa shown a disposition to
advance, but the trade Is still on top of
It and prevents the establishment of any
advance by persistently “nagging” at It
and Irlghtntng off would-be buyers. There
Is an old saying that a wise man some
times changes his opinion, but some men
never do. The latter par* of this “say
ing" Is especially true to the b4*rs in
cotton. They ha f, e clung to thw bear
side so long and made so much money
selling cotton short that they have be
come biased, and they see no good in
anything. In fact, they regard anybody
Inclined to buy the cotton In the light of
an imbecile, and they have no use for *t
bull, but we think they are overdoing
the thing, the same as the 1 bears In the
stock market d?d. and that the day ot
reckoning is rapidly approaching. The
financial outlook Is much more promising.
The tFsue of a large block of bonds will
soon bo announced and Wall street Is
already dlcountslng the beneficial result
It will have. As a matter of fact, nearly
all the gold withdrawn from the sub
treasury yesterday by the foreign houses
Intended for export today, has been paid
bkek Into the treasury for the purpose ot
buying some of the bonds.

opened weak and lower in consideration
that fact and showed eddlttanal de
clines later on the engagement ot 13,000,-
In gold for shipment by tomorrow's
steamer. The bulls argued their bide of
tho question from the standpoint of a
probability that tihe president would act
with reasonable promptness in the mat
ter of Issuing bonds. There were rumors
something being dne by the cabinet
today, but they were denied later, ns
were likewise reports that the Roths
childs w’ere negotiating for a purchase

Washisotan, Jan. 81.—“Is tho re
cent trouble _A Brooklyn to be taken as
a mere local outbreak, a sort of isolated
accident, or does it indicate tho open
ing of another year of labor troubles, to
be followed, aa usual, by a winter of
great suffering and many appeals for
charity?”
This question, and in substantially
these, words, has been asked many a
time in the capitol during the past ten
days, and the range of opinion devel
oped is quite curious. Despite the evi
dences, there are still many who insist
that onr business troubles are substan
tially over, and that we are about to
enter on an era of prosperity, and I ob
serve that they all base their opinion on

three facts—that consumption is now
rapidly gaining on prodnotion in the
world’s grain markets; that the gold
supply is increasing at an unprecedent
ed rate, and that the wild projects and
labor tronbles of last summer have
proved effective lessons. I am particu
larly interested in the answetB of the
Populists, and without exception they
deprecate the Brooklyn strike and de
plore its possible consequences in legis
