NBW YOIIK, March 23. (Special.) Henry
Clews, head of the banking houio of Houry
Clows & Co., writes:
Thn finnnclnl atmosphere ban been
Rroatly cleared by this week's develop
ments In Third Avenue. Now that tho
road hnfl been absorbed by the Metropol
itan Htrcet Hallway company, and tho
tock has again rlicn to par, there Is less
fear of disastrous conf"oiiionces In tho
Htrcct, except to the. Indiscreet bear op
erator who ventured too boldly on tho
fihort aide. Tor thu latter there has been
very llttlo sympathy, although the losses
liavo been unusually severe anions porno
of thu professional traders. Tho coup Is
likely to havo u further beneficial effect
In that It removes points of friction be
tween certain large capitalists and leaves
ahem free to operate In other miartcrs.
iFor weeks past tho market has been In
active nnd unpromising, largely becauso
of Inharmonious relations between somo
of tho larger Interests, and tho removal of
these differences Is Inevitably a. favorable
factor, tho effect of which Is wen In tho
HharD rlso In other than the traction Is
sues. In the general market there If a strong
undertone, which would bo more safely ex
pressed In tho present rise If tho April
xettlcmcntH were safely passed, Until those
lire over wo arc exposed to sudden strin
gency In money rates and conrvuuent re
actions In stocks. On tho other bund, gen
eral conditions favor a substantial lm-
firovement In values. Large railroad earn
nsn havo become such an old story that
thtlr effect upon values la overlooked,
lint Inter on this all-Important fact must
exert Hi" duo Inlluence upon tho market
for railroad shares. As wo havo repeat
edly stntetl, those shares which have re
cently Joined the dividend tlst, or nre soon
likely so to do, offer tho best Inducements
ior purchase, Tho old seasoned dividend
imyurn nre now so tightly lield at high
prices that they offer no nttrntclons to
tho nverago Investor, whllu Issues of rc
orgaulezd properties that are In good phys
ical and llnanclal condition arc likely to
feo much better llgurca than those which
rulo today. It should also bo remembered
that tho supply of good railroad share
la steadily declining, nnd our railroad sys
tem Is so fully developed that there Is
llttlo prospect of any considerable Increase,
tho growth of branch lines and terminals
lielng a comparatively small rourco for
tho creation of now securities. While thero
Is thus little prospect of largo new offer
ings, tho supply of funds seeking Invest
ment must bo rapidly Increasing. This
factor should not bo overlooked an n bull
Argument for the long run. Merchants and
manufacturers aro all experiencing prosper
ous times; they will have more funds than
usual to Invest, nnd when tho rush of
liuslneos abates sultlclently to permit them
rorno attention to outside, affairs they will
come Into Wall street as Investors or spec
ulators much more freely than now. or
eourso tho approaching cessation of the
Transvaal war nnd the new currency bill
nro favorable events of consequence,
though somo parties entertain exaggerated
notions of their Immediate Influence uuon
tho market.
Noiv York to Iie front.
New York In rapidly rising In proml
nenco us a llnanclal center, The railroads
of the country long ago made their llnan
clal headquarters In tho precincts of Wall
street, much to tho disappointment of somo
of our sister cities. Now tho great Indus
trial combinations are coming here, anil
more will follow, from the same Irreslstlblo
tcntlenclen wiileli brought the railroads,
wlillo tho latest cvldenca of (lnnnelnl di.
vclopment Is tho placing of forelsn loans
nn thL.4 market. Itussla Is understood to
havo recently placed JM.OOO.OOO.of bonds over

tho ordinary sense a loan being taken In

cure life Insurance privileges In Russia
MIU thn transaction Is slcnllicant as show
Ing nn entirely new disposition of Amer
ican capital to seeic investment in for
eign government securities. The offer here.
of $50,000,000 In subscriptions to the Urltlph
war loan was still more remarkable cvl
denco of this tendejicy, although only a
I'nmll percentage of these offers will bo
accepted, Thero Is no reason whutever
why Bomo of tho better class of foreign
-government securities should not nnd iv
fair market here among Institutions wbo
wish to Invest In tlrst-clnss securities, but
who find United States bonds too high
for purely Investment purposes. Some of
our nblcM. financiers apparently nnnreclato
this fnct as well as the advantage of having
a market over hero to facilitate u readier
cxchati-n In Such securities.
Tho market will bo materially benefited
now that tho Third Avenuo cr'rple has
been nut Into tho hospital to bo taken
caro of. Tho tock of tho Third Avenuo
must bo regarded, for some tlmo to come
nt least, as a minority non-dlvldcnd nro
erti', sj It will be nt tho mercy of a cor
poration which controls a majority of tho
t'tock In perpetuity. Tho strength of the
general market has been pretty thoroughly
tested by tho fall of Third Avenue from
212 this tlmo last year to 45 recently, and
8ugar from H2 to 95 during the, tamo
time. Tho 111 effects arising from the.o
two adverse factors have been fully ills
counted In the market and tho good divi
dend-paying proix-rtics nre now in a posi
tion to udvnnco In response to tho grow
ing demand for them from Investors. When
the South African war terminates, which
mny bo tho case nny day, American se
curities will be, wanted on the other ddo
In largo amounts, and tho immenso wealth
that has been created, and Is continually
being added to In nil business under
takings In this country, will nlso havo to
peek Investment. This constantly growing
dem ami ror our nest securities cannot ran
to enhance their value.

wnH a irood deal like a holiday In tho yards,
as usual on n Saturday. ' ,
During the last half of this week the
enitle mnrket has been In fair shape for
tho sellers nnd values havo snown con
siderable Improvement as a rule. lieef
steers cun safely bo quoted 105715c higher
than tho closo of tho previous week, tho
iiet enttln showing tho most Improvement.
Tho demand tluring uie nmer nnu 01 mo
ueek was of liberal nronortlons on tho part
of local packers nnd tho feellny on tho
mnrkct wns quite Bou, witn ins movemeni
fairly active. ....
Good kinds of cornfed cos and heifers
showed Just about, the same Improvement
na fnt steprs that Is. lOii 15o for the week.
At tno samo timeline mcuium Kinus 01 cows
wero sateiy ioii"c nigucr. vumiuuu kuihh
of canners wero fully 23c lower for the
week, but thero nro not many coming Just
nt present, so thnt tho dccllno does not cut
so much figure.
Tho season Is getting a llttlo lato for
heavy bulls and they wero rather idow all
the week and the mnrket did not show any
Improvement. In fact It could not bo quoted
moro than steady. Light weight fat bulls
were In a little better demand und fur that
reason they sold to better advantage. Stock
bulls, If choice, seem to be In pretty fair
demand, but as a matter of course tho num
ber coming forward nt this tlmo Is small.
Stackers und feeders havo not shown much
chnnge this week. The market has boon
Just nbout steady from day to day. Tho
scarcity of corn In somo sections has been
tho cause of the canceling of n good many
orders for half-fat cattle to bo finished In
tho country. At tho same tlmo there has
been a fair demand, so that prices havo
been well maintained all tho week, ns noted
above.
HOGS For tho last day of the week thero
was a good run of hogs, but for all that
the market, under the Influence of tho good
demand and the favorable advices from
other selling points, showed some Improve
ment. Prices wero about 2',4c higher, con
sidering quality. The trade was reasonably
nctlvo and everything was disposed of In
good season. The bulk of the hogs sold nt
J1.92H'fr4.95, as against J4.90 yesterday. It
will be remembered that over half of all
tho hogs sold yesterday at J4.90.
Tho hog market this week has been high
nt both ends and low In the middle. The
week stnrted out with a decline of 5c. On
Tuesday It was a shade lower and on
Wednesday 5c lower. Wednesday proved to
be tho low day of the week. the. hogs selling
on nn nverago So lower than on Mondny.
During the balance of tho week tho ten
dency of tho market was steadily upward.
At tho close, as will be seen from the table
of average prices, the market was closo to
6c higher than It was on Monday and
almost as high as at tho closo of tho previ
ous week.
SHEEP There was only one load of culls
here today In other words, nothing to make
n test of the market.
Tho sheep market has been steady all this
week and the demand trooil. Sunnlies have
been reasonably large but none too much
so for tho demnnd. Light or hnndy weight
sheep hnve been the best sellers, whllo big
heavy sheep wero on some days a little slow
to move.
Lambs for tho week could safely be
quoted lOfilSo higher nnd fairly
nctlvo at tho advance, There wero n good
many Colorado and westerns In during tho
week which sold nt prices entirely satis
factory to owners,

ROME,oMnrohf26.-'In 'th'Chambcrs1 of
Deputies tho resumption of tho debate
on tho motion of Slgnor Pantano, radical.
first Introduced yesterday, providing for tho
convocation of tho constituent assembly for
tno rerorm or tho constitution, was marked
by scenes of disorder. Tho president, who
yosterday refused to put tho motion anB
was sustained by tho houso, today provonted
Slgnor Pantano from making a speech,
whereupon tho socialists abused the presi
dent, whoso action, however, was approved
by tno majority of tho chamber.
This gave rlso to n tremendous tumult.
tho socialists and radicals shouting and
cheering for tho constituent assembly, and
tho conservatives and moderates responding
with cheers for tho king and tho monarchy.
eventually tno president was comnelled to
nuspond the Bcsslon, nnd on Its resumption
tho presldont designated n conservative aa
tho next speaker, at which thn infiui.
violently protested, demanding that Slgnor
Pantano bo allowed to bo heard.
A dtafenlnc uproar resulted. Tho chamher
resombled n bear garden, each sldo trying to
nowi tno otner down. Finally the president
pronounceu tne adjournment of tho houBe.
It Is tho gonornl Impression that In faen
of tho oppositionists' determined policy of
obstruction, tho solution of tho crisis Is tho
resignation of tho ministry or the dlssolu
tlon of tho chamber.

wero seated on somo logs, chewing tho Juicy
twist, when ono of tho party spoko up nnd
nsked Crockett about Washington.
"What tlmo do thoso folks eat un thero?"
inquired ono.
"Oh," snld Davy, "they eat nt different
times. The congressmen eat dinner from fi
to 8 at night, and the legatloners dine from
9 to 10."
"And what time, then, does tho president

"Oh, ho doesn't cat until next day!" said
Crockett.
