Por eome time past It has beer. flu«'tt»i«ag al ternately under the Influence of hope and fear; but now Ua undertone Is gradually broadening and strengthen ing. and there Is a marked tendency to disci Amt a generally clarified finan cial atmosphere. It looks as though we have seen the Worst of everything and that the pendulum le at last going to swing the other way.

Gold shipment* have practically ceased to be a factor in the market, as dnly small amoun's of the precious metal haye beet) shipped during the week, and the ease in exchange does not Indicate a renewal of shipments In the near future. Wash ington advices regarding the tariff continue very conflicting and tend to ward keeping stocks feverish, and while? there is so much uncertainty among our legislators the saitM^feeling must naturally exist Wall street 'circles. The feeling that some definite decision, one way or the other, will scam be arrived at is gaining gntund. however, and this feeling is doing a great deal toward hastening the return of renfldenpe. The stock of manufac turing goods In the United States is lower than It has beer, for a great many years, and* there will soon bf.< ac'uai necessity for at least a partial resumption Of business bn the pe r'. oT manufacturers. A speedy settlement, of the tariff debate will give them a* basis on which to start in. and thit is all that is needed. The stock market has fully discounted ail adverse factors, and will now commence to consider and ls> governed by what is to come an-’, not what ha* passed. The present conditions wllj be ]o«t sight of ant give way to those that may be pxpected to prevail six months hence and here after. By that lime I*do not hesitate tit say that the railroad earnings will have returned to their normal condi tion, and general activity in commer cial' channels will be restored. The ihing to. db now, therefore, Is to lie- count a general improvement in tie future. 1 recommen 1 buying stocks now for higher prices.

These estimates, of course, are founded upon the con tin- nance of present crop conditions from now until the end of the season. In other words, the crop Is very early in the Southwest where frosts would probably not occur, and late in the At* lantic and Northern cotton belt, where it is more Hkeiy to be injared by froet than by any other known contingency which may occur. The crop in the Atlantic we v believe is fully two to three weeks later than last year. No new bales have yet appeared even from Southwestern Georgia, where we usually hear of cotton by the 15th of July. The market is entirely without speculation, and such demands as exists comes from the necessities of the Ameri can to ills to provide for their consump tion before the new crop is ready to come to market, and this demand has been *ufftcient to check the selling movement and to cause a elifcht reaction from the extreme depression. The long interest in this market consists of purchases by spin ner* and exporters, who have hedged against their transaction# on the other side, but the large short interest for Southern export aecount has not been Tieifeed and bsttmatf* ns THE SENATE BILL WILL PASS.

This latter estimate's based upon the idea that the market having declined for the past six monlhs, it has offered every Inducement to exporters to sell c. L f. cotton at constantly declining prices, to Europe, It is certain that spec ulation will not he attracted to cotton unless some accident happens to the crop, as the experience of those who bought cotton last year and also wheat because it was cheap, has been sufficient to^deter any qf the cotton trade" from Sksutolflg the same position tMs year. It can there fore lie frankly aaid that even with re viving business, it will require a reduc tion in the present erop estimates to sus tain prices, but on tie other hand, ttobuTd any accident oeonr to the crop, (and this crop will probably be-watched with great er anxiety than any crop since 1889-90, as the consumption for the past two years, has overtaken the production), the advance in the cotton would not only be sudden and sharp, hnt permanent, and it is this' feature of (he situation that induces the eaution with wMch the trade regard present price#. President Cleveland Said to Be Too Mad to Interfere. Washington, D. C.. Aug. 12.—(Special.) —The rumor last night that the House would accept unconditionally the Senate hill k» confirmed tonight. Speaker Crisp is resolved that no bastard bill shall be called the House bill, and for this reason not one letter of the Senate measure will be modified by the House qonferees. By this action the House entirely dis- clsima nny part In the Senate -bill and any criticism whIcH~may* eh**ue 'upon Its passage must he attributed to the upper branch.

Shanghai, Aug. 12.—The Jap me*# squadron that attacked iWel-Hai-WVl Friday consisted of twenty-six vessels. It is not definitely known how many of the fleet were men of war. The war ships drew up In line of battle off the ^port, and opened fire early Friday morn ing. There -'ere no Chinese .garshlps in the vicinity, and the engagement wa» entirely between the Japanese* men-of- war aud the forts. The whereabouts of the Chinese fleet was unknown. The forts, however, were able without much difficulty to repulse the attack* About fifty shots were exchanged, but no ma terial damagg wao done on either side. The Soldiers mjmnrng the guns of the fortifications showed themselves to be lamentably deficient In marksmanship. Most all of thelf shots were ill directed, the shells either falling short of the ves sels aimed at or going wide-of their marks. . » .

C., Aug. 12.—The night before the House caucus which will settle the fate of. the (lending tariff legislation find* the Democratic? leaders in that body who have charge of the measure, calm in spirit, and confident of a satisfactory soltition of the knotty problem before them. The House conferees were not in ses sion today, but Messrs. Wilson and Brocklnridge spent most of the after noon together talking over the situation. They were joined later in the evening by several gentlemen and the' under standing tonight is that no opposition will ho made at tomorrow's cancua to motions to concur in the Senate amend ments to the tariff Mil. There has been some question as to the President’s wishes regarding the caucus. It was though’ in some quarters yesterday that he might use his influence with the House leaders to prevent the caucus and thus coutintJ^ the contest between the two houses. There is no good reason to believe that *he President ' will attempt to Interfere. On the con trary, one of the most distinguished Dem ocrats in public life, a gentleman who Is deeply interested In the House bill, saw the President this morning and explained to Mm at considerable length the situa tion a# viewed from the House stand point. Incidental mention was made of tomorrow’s caucus, but the President had nothing to say with reference to it. He did not approve it nor did he con demn it and was apparently as indiffer ent to Its result as though it was a mat- the day before, voted m a similar qaea, tkra In the appoatte direction. Mr. mew- art, on the Republican side of the cham ber, despite the entreetlee of his col leagues, refused to remain, and aa the clerk began to call the roll left the cham ber without a pair being provided.

Aug.. 12.—Hubbard, Price & Co's Weekly Cotton Letter of August 9th says: It Beeomes-appqrent that the change in the tone in sentfpient in Com mercial circles is rapidly altering the opinion of merchants in the United States from one of extreme pessimism to one of ^optimism. This change in sentiment will probably do much towards giving courage to the disheartened peo ple of the country, who for nearly twelve months have seen their affairs go from had to worse, and its effect upon the cot ton trade, will probably be as marked as in any other, because of the small sup plies of cotton goods in ‘he hands of mer chants throughout the country. On the other hand it (s asserted that the failure of the corn crop will, have the effect of continuing the present prostration in business, hut those who take & wide view of the situation, consider that the failure is not altogether an unmfxed evil, as it will enable-the wheat farmers to obtain a higher price for that cereal than they otherwise would. The receqt heavy rains throughout Texas axe thought to have placed the cot ton crop of that State upon a basis that it will he exceedingly difficult to have any disaster occur which will reduce the crop to smaller limits than those of the earlier estimates.

Chairman Wilson spent - the day with Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas at the Nor mandie Hotel, and was there called up on by other conferees. Mr. Wilson did uot see the' Presioont through the day. The meeting of the House men brought about a thorough understanding among them as to the line of action at the caucus tomorrow and in the subse quent proceedings of the Senate and the House. They reviewed the situation from every possible standpoint and pre pared themselves for all emergencieA As one of them said tonight, it was like going over the field of bailie and learn ing the topography of the ground on the ulght before the great fight At the out set the House conferees satisfied them selves of the parliamentary ritnatioa of the bill. They had done this with the greatest care toward securing an accu rate and authoritative deckkra. Speaker me first place, that' there was no need of precipitate setlon toward at'ceptliiR the Henato^hJIL,before Mr. Hill’s resolutlitn nad ^.passed■ r Till* resolution could he taken up In the Senate St 12 o’dorti Stiff It U#d been feared at Hie first Wist the House caucus which liej^tna at 10 o’clock would lie compelled to take hanty action In accepting the Senate bill In orfler to pre vent tin 1 Houae from losing It* opportunity to pea* the Senate bill by the adopttoe of the HUT resolution, ft waa agreed, how ever, (hat no such haste was necessary. On the contrary It was felf that the House in haring posschdon of the bill and a parliamentary right to pas* It af any time, had everything to gain aud nothlngTJ ’.osc by deliberate action. Under these clrcuiuintjinee* It was deem ed advisable to Inform the Houae. fully a* to the VtuaEou end to explain I hat pre clpitatlon In accepting the Senate b'f! would gain nothing, while deliberate .ac tion In waiting to aee what the Senate would do, might accomplish much good. It was pointed out ..In this, eoun<*ctlon that the House need be In no flear of the Hill resolution being ruaned through. Mr. Wilson and hi* aasociatea have some Strong friends In the Senate, notably Senator* Vila*. Gray, Lindsay and other* who could If the oci-sslon required, inalat on a very complete debate of the Hill resolution wnICb might last from dav to day. Thla the Houae confereea regarded aa assuring them a breathing spell and aa making it plahUtbst the Hoime need not rush to Its conclusion. ' Entertaining these view's the House con* ferees did not believe that It wis neces sary or prudent tor the House caucus to- morrow_ to then and there pass a "esolu- tton to'at once accept the Senate bill. They realise that tbs situation Is so cri tical that the question of accepting the Senate bill blight come before the caucus and develop ailcb overwhelming and resist less strength thgt It would be iwe lea* to oppoae tt. They were prepared for this emergency and were /eady to accept It if It came. They would not, however, coun. eel It themselvrt aim tf It came It--would have to be the outgrowth of thte spontane ous sentiment In the cmw-ns. It was fait, however, that « dispassionate statement of Ifee case showing that the Houae would lose poos of 1U right to pass the Seuate bill by inferring action for a day or am would bring about a conservative result In ^e caucus. Exactly what this action will be was pot definitely outlined, al though the House conferee* felt that It would perhaps be best for the caucus to adjourn and wait to aei- what the Senate did. Then If 1 need be another caucu* could : he held and uiora intelligent action taken after the Senate had acted. In the mean time the House would lose nothing. If the Hill resolution wa* defeated, and the Houae conferees think there la at least an even chance of Its deftot, then the conference between the Sehate.and Ho life could be resumed with every prospect In the Judgment of the' House conferees that a speedy agreement aud report could be reached. In any event the House confereeu feel there would be notoing lost by waiting for the Senate to *bow what it intended to do. As yet they aay the Hill resoiutlou aud similar moves in ths Senate are merely meuacea and It Is well enough to wail to aee If they become accomplished fact*. Meanwhile the Senate la quiescent and 1* dtopoaed to remain In a state 'of Inactivity on til the Houae shall have bad an oppor tunity to express Itself upon the situation. There la undoubtedly a desire on the part Of a large majority of the Democratic sen dors, practically ail of them, except It he the Louisiana senator*, to have the House take possession of the bill. Thla la .due to the general belief tn the Senate that the House will accept the Senate amendments and that the Senate bill will thus become a law, and to tl^e fear that If the bill whonfit again to the Senate it' would be Indefinitely postponed, while on the other hand tt la believed that If the House ahould agree to the Senate amendments the' Senate would acqulesc** In this action and waive the technical objections wnlch might be raised over the poeses#loir*ffrthe bill. It b understood that even Senator Hill, notwlthst todlhg bla opposition to the bill, would be dtopoeefl to accept teh favorable action of the House as final and to permit the hill to go to the President*-without raising any parllamentat/ question*. The Hill resolu tion has had Its day In court aud bay. gone tb the calendar and could not be taken up except upon a vote of the Sen ate. It la a too. suggested thn*. without the actual possession >f the bill, a motion for Indefinite postponement would bei out of oruer, and that the only proves# by which the Senate could secure posaesslou would be through a motion to reconsider Its sc-’ tion granting a conference and then to auk the House to return the bill.
