Uradstrcot tomor row , will say : The backward sea son and storms cause a tendency on the part of jobbers generally In staple lines to act conservatively , while general trade is less favorable than a week ago. Further reduc tion of cotton prices results In a shading of quotations for cotton goods , print cloths going off one-eighth of a cent , with an im provement in general demand based on the concessions , It is denied that the prices are shaded , but samples of the now clip" are in thu markets. In addition quotations have gone off on wheat , cor n and oats , pork and lard , on i ice and coffco among food staples , the reduction in the last being due to the pricking of the bull bubble blown by the European speculators in that berry. There is n manifest halt in the rate of progress of general trade , compared with like seasons in previous years , although the volume of busi ness Is of larger proportions , as shown by bank clearing totals. Exports of wheat from both coasts of the United States for six days , ending with April 20 , aggregated ! IOIK1OUO ( Hour in cluded ) , a total slightly In excess of that for the preceding week , but about equal to the quantity sent abroad in the like week a year ago. It is 20 per cent more than was sent abroad In the third week of April In 18UI , 1890 or 1889. Stocks ot wheat at homo and in Europe and atloat for Kuropo caused traders to buy conservatively and constitute the dead weight in prices.

Tlu < acute condition of the currency com plication creates bearish and declining ten dencies in the market for securities.

NKW YOUK , April 21. Drndstreot's weekly review of the stock market tills week will say : In spite of the weakness in prices and nhnrp breaks which have occurred In par ticular stocks , the stock market , which for a while has been free from panicky symptoms , supports the pressure of the existing financial complications with noteworthy stoadjncss. The street has been preparing for an expected crisis for months past and therefore not surprised. Liquidation has been so thorough that the opportunity for "shaking out1' weak holdings were reduced to a minimum , while brokers and their customers have arranged their accounts In anticipation of the actual developments. This i Illustrated by the comparative ease of money. The street on tlo ) whole seems to regard the present dispensation as a noccs- a ry evil , and as the lirst step toward an vluoldatioo of the whole silver trouble , there bung much less disposition to look for a Umuorary relleun the form of a govern- mrut bond Nstin than was the cata n short tltno ago. The nenroU approach to i\ real bnviit In prices was on Friday , when the shipment of $15OUO,000 In gold and n rlso In call loan rates , supplemented by the failure of n large street concern , caused heavy de clines , which.

Uoehl and Pallistcr , murderers , escaped from prison last night. Doth men were under sentence to bo electrocuted soon. Guard Hulso suid that at 7 o'clock last night he passed supper Into Pallister's cell. The condemned man throw a handful of popper into the guard's eyes. Hulso was nllnded and Pallistor rushed on him , took his revolver away anil under throats of death forced Hulso into Palistor's cell , llrst taking the keys from him. Ho then locked Hulso in the cell and unlocked the cell of Murderer Frank Uoehl. The two murderers then unlocked the cells of Carlyle W. Harris and Murderer Osmond. They invited these to escape with thorn. Doth Harris and Osmond refused. Pallistcr and Uoohl waited until 0 o'clock , when Guard Murphy came on dutv. As Murphy entered tno corridor Pallistcr presented a pistol ut Murphy's head , tak ing the keys from him and locked him in Hoehl's cell. Pallistcr took Hulso's shoos and cap from him and put them on himself. Threatenim ; to kill the guards If they made unout.-ry , the two murderers climbed down into the yard and made their escape , whether by the river or over the wall was not known. The terribly stormy night facilitated their escape. It is supposed Palllster had been saving the pepper Riven him daily with his meals with the object of escape in view. In connection with the escape of the two convicts , condemned murderers , It Iraked out this morning that the brother of Hoohl arrived In this city ten days ago from Ger many with $7,000which Hoehl had inherited. His brother , upon his arrival hero , culled upon Goldberg & Mclaughlin , the prisoner's counsel , and informed them that ho was going to Sing Sing. After a stay of a few days there ho returned to this city and said that ho would immediately return to Ku- rope. IIo is believed to have remained in the country and to have assisted In his brother's ese'upe. It is believed that Harris' refusal to take advantage of his opportunity to escape will have some weight with the governor in de ciding his case. COl.ir.lHIUH Fl.EKf AltKH'JiS.

Members of the House of Commons Hocked to the House early today to secure scats for the final contest over the second rcndlns of the Irish homo rule bill. Dr. C. 1C. Tanner , nationalist member for Cork , was llrst to arrive , being present as early as 0 o'clock. Mir llrnrr JnmoV Addrcsa. Sir Henry James , liberal unionist , nd- ih'L'ssud the House this afternoon in opposi tion to the bill. He said that the govern ment of Ireland would he In the hands of those now forming the majority of Irish representatives men drawn from the land league nnd proved to ba conspirators against law. These moil would take place and power with the determination to sweep out of Ire land the landlords , whom tliov regarded as nn English garrison. "Talk of the bill as a final settlement , " exclaimed Sir Henry. "It is simply a meas- wo to enable a section of Irish agitators to deal nu they may choose with the country. It is practically a ivpeal of the union and an epitaph on the supremacy of the Imperial I'arli.itnpiit. Instead of being a measure of peace between the two countries , It was a message of war. There might for some time bo an armed peace , but if it should require the interference of the military in order to enforce it , where could real peace be ? Thu bill surpasses the ingenuity of man in devis ing proposals to bring the law into contempt. There Is not a man in Ireland who could not sot its provisions at dellanco. Neither could the judges enforce it. flad the hill been ex plained to the English constituencies , the present government could iiover have ob tained oven n limited English minority in support of It , and the prime minister , who-is trying to pass the measure solely through Irish votes , would never again have sat on a government bench. " Sir Henry James was heartily applauded at the close by the conservatives and liberal unionist members. Early In the evening the debate was mon- ouolized by minor members. At 10 o'clock Mr. Gladstone entered hurriedly amidst cheers. Members began to return rapidly. At 10-'M Mr. llalfour was received with cheers. All the members had meantime taken their places and the house waited ex pectantly for the heavy guns of the iliutl de bate on the second reading. llaUour'a ArKUmrntq. Mr. nalfour arose shortly before 11 o'clock. A longer period had never been occupied with the second reading of n bill , he said , than had been allowed for the present de bate. No man , however , had dared contend that within the narrow limits of the two islands four assemblies , with four execu tives , could bo operated in harmony with ono Imperial Parliament. Ho , himself , could not believe that this childish Imitation of the United States constitution would over commend itself to the Judgment of the British people. [ Cheers. ] He , therefore , would put the federation aside , as not imme diate to the discussion. The home rule bill had Deen brought forward to meet the liberal party's necessities..wi.Ich were con nected with Irish agitation and Irish crime. [ Hear , hear.J Never had such an Imjiortant constitutional change been proposed with such flimsy reasons. Substantial arguments for the necessity of the measure could bo enumerated on the fingers of one hand. Two of those arguments were that the union had failed and that coercion had failed. Mr. Halfour was interrupted by confusion among the Irish members , and upon resum ing his speech shouted that agrarian crime in Ireland was at its worst bcforo the union. This statement evoked loud cries of , "No , false."nna "Shame , " trom the Irish members. Proceeding , Mr. llalfour said It was mad- nees to look fovward with the premonition of seeing agrarian crime stamped out in the immediate future. It was absurd to hold for Ireland's although England responsible woes , though it might bo admitted that England sometimes had played a sorry part towards her sister country , who could but fool dis gusted with the creeping hypocrisy of the men who , although aware of the history of Ireland , threw upon England the responsi bility for Irish wrongs. What answer hud "tho government given to the argument that homo rule would Inflict injuries upon the Urltish taxpayer ? None. What answer did the unionists get when they asked about the so-callod supremacy of the British Parliament ? Everybody knew that this would bo only a paper supremacy. The Irish would have the real and the Brit ish the illusory supremacy. [ Cheers. ] Could anybody Imagine how the two majorities would work together ? What Homo Ilule Meant. Mr. Balfour described the bill as a decisive step towards separation , although not a final ono. To make it law , ho said , would load ultimately to thu disintegration of the em pire. Ho next discussed in considerable de tail the financial aspect of the homo rule bill. The bill , if passed , would entail losses and hardship upon all classes in Ireland. Irish ambitions would center in the Dublin Parliament. Irishmen would regard the Imperial Parliament us a foreign and unrelated " lated body. The Irish people "would drink from the bitter and polluted stream ot Irish history instead of the pure stream of Eng lish history. [ Laughter. ] "If you commit this great political crime , " said Mr. Balfour in closing his speech , "you make yourselves responsible for an Irretriev able national disaster , and all hopes of a peacof jl and united Ireland will vanish for ever. " Prolonged cheers and counter cheers fol lowed this peroration. Prince Christian Joined the prince of Wales in the peers' gallery and Sir William Har- court took his place on the treasury bench. When Gliilttton : Aroic. As Mr. Gladstone arose to address the house the cheering was renewed. Like Mr. Balfour , ho was in splendid form. His voice was clearer and fuller than any time before during the session and his movements gave evidence of unusual energy and earnestness. The principal weapons of the opposition , ho said , were bold assertion , persistent ex aggeration , constant misconstruction and copious and baseless arguments. True , there wore financial arrangements to lie dealt with , but among the difficulties nothing existed which ought to abash or terrify men when they were to accomplish a great objcnt. The opposition had evaded steadfastly the answer to the question of the second reading how can Ireland bo governed if this bill be rejected ? I ord Salisbury had asked for twenty years of coercion , but as the duty of convert ing Ireland to Protestantism , inaugurated under Queen Elizabeth , had failed down to the present time , what ground was there for hope that in but twenty years It would succeed ? The late government had started with a majority of 1'JO. Neither the children nor grandchildren of this generation would see such a majority again. Yet the whole fabric of their policy had failed ; and what guarantee was there that It would not fail again ? The present bill sought to closea con troversy that had lasted for centuries. Ire land's loyal acceptance of the present bill should cause distrust and this disbelief to vanish. There had oeen no disaffection of the Irish mind since the door of hope had been opened. The continued distnist of the Irish peopledespite all they could do.camo'simply to this that they were to bo pressed below the level of civilized mankind , when th boon of self-government was given to the British coUmies was Ireland alone to be exceptcd from its blessings ? To deny Ireland home rule was to say that she lucked the ordinary faculties of humanity. Ills Urand Cloning. Mr. Gladstone's closing words were : "You canuut bo surprised that wo have under taken the solution of this great question , and as on the ono hand it Is not least of the arduous efforts of the liberal party , so , on the other hand , it will have its place in his tory aye , and not remote , but early history as not the least durable , fruitful and blessed among its accomplished acts. " Before the cheering ceased George Bart- ley , conservative for North Islington , rose to continue thu debate. Mr. Morley , chief sec retary for Ireland , mo veil the cloture nnd it win adopted. . / , - , . . William Kuumlars , radical' for the Will- worth dlviskm , of Nowlnu'lon , who threatened to tyL ] the opposition , changed his mind nt thqMst moment and went into the lobby wltU.-vio iviiilsterlallsts. As Mr , Oladfltwio returned from the lobby , liberals and nationalists , rose , cheered and waved their hats. John Hedmoiid shouted : "Throe cheers for Parnelll" but the only re sponse was laughter.

Carter , counsel for the United States In tlio Bering sea tribunal arbitration , continued his argument on behalf of the American claims. He criticised the weak parts o . the case presented on behalf - half of Great. Britain. Ho admitted that the United States asked for a monopoly ' of the seals But n monopoly , ho _ jygued , could only bo Injurious when artificial ] n-iccs were induced ny it. In the present instance that was impossible. On the con trary , the monopoly asked for by the United States would eucou.iSn.i production and bo beneficial to humanity in the same way as laws providing for patents and copyright. Carter proceeded to refute the British argument that seals devoured British fish in the waters of British Columbia. The fish of those waters. Carter said , were the prop erty of the world. Carter quoted from the Joint report of the commissioners of Great Britain nnd the United States appointed to Investigate the condition of seal llfo in the north Pacific ocean to sustain his contention that pelagic sealing was wrong. The United States. Carter said , v/ould tolerate the right of Indians to pursue seals for per sonal sustenance , but not for commercial purposes. Mr. Carter , continuing his argument , re verted to the question of property in seals. He says that the law goes to the farthest extremity when social advantage is at stake nnd gives protection to prop erty , even when Intangible. In con clusion , Mr. Carter submitted that when an animal , though wild , voluntarily becomes subject to the control of man , so that animal Increase could bo taken and the species preserved - served , the right of property resulted. Ho admitted the British argument that the rec ognition of the rights of the United States would tend to establish a fnonopaly. When did a monopoly become injurious ? Only when a rise of prices was Indue id by it. It was Impossible for the Unttod States to withhold the skins from the mar ket to force up prices. Such a policy would lead eventually to such an accumulation that In the end the United States would be obliged to throw the skins on the market in great bulks and thus lower the price Im measurably. It was only by the euro and self-denial of the United States that the sealing industry had been enabled to exist , therefore the protection demanded was only their duo.
