GIVE UP DAY TO SUBSIDY BILL Si-nutorM Listen to Argument it ml IIIn i'llRnlon ll to I'l-OpOKMl SjNtl'lll of .Ship Homilies, WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. The senate met at U o'clock today, and with I he exception of an hour and a half nt the beginning of tho session devoted tho entire day to the discussion of the ship subsidy bill. Mr. Turner and Mr. Mallory were the speakers In behalf of tho opposition. Mr. Turner's speech wns based largely upon exceptions which he had taken to Mr. Fryo's criticisms of his former speech. Mr. Mallory opposed tho bill on constitutional grounds. The following bills woro pasaed: House bill dividing tho utato of Kausus Into two Judicial districts; appropriating J50.000 for a public building at llatrsvllle. Ark.; ex tending the time for tho erecting of n bridge across the Missouri river nt Yank ton; granting authority to the Keokuk it Hamilton Water Power compnny to- erect n wing dam In tho Mississippi ''Ivor nt Dcs Moines rnplds; providing for an nddltlounl circuit Judge In the Second Judlclnl circuit; Authorizing the establishment of a light nnd fog station nt Point Dume, Cal., at a cost 6f JC3.000; authorizing tho Mollne & Poorla Ilntlroad compnny to construct n brldg, across Hock river In Illinois; referring to tho court of claims tho claim of A.

Llvermoro for damages on account of Infringement of n patent on firearms; nmeudlug the Alnskan codo In relation to treasurers of school bnnrds; to restore to the public domain a small tract of land In tho Apaeho reservation In Arizona. Tho shipping bill wns taken up. Mr. Fornkcr of Ohio had rend a cnblegrnm from Governor Allen of Porto Itlco saying tho legislature had adjourned after a successful cession. This led to somo discussion of tho conditions In Porto lllco. In reply to a question from Mr. llacon. Mr. Turner said that oven If tho amendment suggested by Mr. Aldrlch, reducing the time for tho durntlon of tho contract should be adopted, the total expenditures under the bill would amount to (225.000,000 or (9,000,- 000 a yenr for twonty-llvo yenrs. Ho also charged that If the amendment of Mr. Frye, limiting the number of foreign vessels nny ono company can bring In to receive tho proposed bounty, were ndopted tho Inter nntlonnl Navigation compnny (Amerlcnn lino) would still receive on Its foreign Meet (535.000. or a reduction of $177,000. The an nual appropriation for foreign vessels under tho original bill, ho said, would have been $2,073,000. and the adoption of the Frye amendment would not reduce that nmount to the extent of more thnn (600,000, leaving ntlll over (1,500,000 to bo paid on account of foreign vessels. Mallory Attacks lllll. Mr, Aldrlch made nnother effort to secure action upon tho nmendments to the ship subsidy bill offered by himself, but Mr. Mal lory of Florida announced that ho desired to speak upon the nmnndmont ami ho clo dded to yield for that action. Mr. Malloty then proceeded with his speech, which was an arraignment of tho measure In general. He attacked the bill on several grounds. Even Scnntor Ed mund8 had admitted that bounties are In contravention of the constitution, he sal.l. Mr. .Mallory quoted Mr. Hanna as baying that tho twenty-one-knot and the tw'nnty-two-knot ships would not lie increased un der this bill. From this admission Mr. Mal lory argued that the bill could no nothing toward providing an auxiliary cruiser, for no slow vessel could bo utilized ns a cru ser Mr. Mallory contended that tho shipbuilding Industry of the country Is now in n more promising condition than at any time since tho beginning of tho civil war and that it needs no extraneous aid to make It a suc cess In tho early future. At 5 o'clock, while .Mr. Mallory was still talking. Mr. Allen moved to adjourn. The motion was voted down, 13 to 31. In con elusion Mr. Mallory contended that the sub sidy bill will not bo the boon to the Amerl rnn shipping which It has been promised It should be, whllo he bolleved It would prove the Inauguration of n new em In American affairs In the matter of giving bounties to Individual enterprises. The senate adjourned nt 0:10.

WIRE AND NAILS ADVANCED TEN CENTS Volume of lluslnrss fop the Week Very Satisfactory nml lluyrm Art- lie kIiiiiIiiu: 1o Arrive In Lit rue .iiinber. Trado conditions In this city hnve bosn In n most satisfactory condition during the past week. In one wny Janunry Is rather a quiet month in wholesale circle and in another way It Is a very llveiy month. As n rulo the umount of goods sold Is not very larce. nml tmrtl-nilnrlv Is that true when stocks In the country arc not broken, as In th case this year. The principal worn that occupies the attention of Jobbers Is tho changing of stocks nnd the tilling of ndvnnce orders for spring At the present time Btirlnir (roods nre being shipped out at n rapid rate, ns stocks nre practtcatl;.' complete and retailers anxious to got their new lines on band. In mast cases Jobbera siy they havo SDld more .roods in advnnco this year than ever before In spite of tli9 fact that retailers hnvo not met with a i;ood success In winter goods as usual, owing to the exceptionally open winter. Some of them, of course, nre not able to buy heavily, ns their money Is still on ineir sneives In tlie rorm or winiT itoods. but nt thn snmn tlmo they nre buying ns freely as they can stnnd and nte full of hope for the future They are very confident that spring trade will turn out In good shape, and for that rea son they are anxious to get In good stooits an early as possible. Ilnth letnllers and wholesalers. are still hoping for n 'ov weeltj nf severe winter weather, which will stim ulate trade In the eountrv nml enahlo mer chants to clean out their stoiss In better shape. If that should happen there Is ti doubt but what Jobbers would do a much lnrger business than thev will If tho rest of the winter remains mild. I lie mnrkcts ns n whole .inve not changed very much during the wceit. thctlKh there hnve been n few rnther sen- siit'onnl fluctuations. There Booms to bo n hen I thr tone to tho market all along tno line, nnd prices apparently nro on a good, iirm rounuation. l-V ChmiKes lu (Ircicerle. Tho crocerv trado Is niovlnir nlon? at n verv sntlafnetorv rnte. hut the market Is quiet, so far ns price fluctuations are con corned. There hns been no change In cof fee, though n little tinner feeling la re ported than was the case n wee,t ago. Tho sugnr market Is nlso In n good strong position, though prices nre the tiniuo ns nt last report. Farinaceous goods aro thi sftne with the exception of beans, which declined a trllle early in the week, nnd then strengthened up later on. so thnt the mar- Ket is now in a good strong position, rnero 1m nothing new to be said regarding the situation In canned goods, all lines re maining prnctlcnlly the same as they huvo been for some little time. In ilrli'il fruits n better trailo on tho low grades of penches Is reported ns n result of the low prices prevailing. It Is pre dicted that If the present demand contin ues very long higher prices will resu't. l-iincy stocK is getting scarce ami pn.es consequently are being well mabitnln-d. Raisins hnve eased off a trltle. which has stimulated the demand. Other lines re main In lust about tho same position they wero n week ngo. Advance In Wire nml iiIIk. The most Important event In tho hard ware trudo last week wns the unexnemd advance of 10 cents In wire nnd nails. Job hers, of course, have been nware of the healthy condition of tho Iron nnd steel mnrket and knew that eastern mnnnfiic- turers had about all the business they could handle, but they hardly expected nn ndvance at this time. Present In dications nro that the ndvnnce will ua maintained owing to tho exceptionally good demand nit over the country, nnd to the prospects for a continued largo consump tion throughout this yenr. Aside rrotn tno ciinngo in wire and nans there Is nothlm; new to be snld reuarilnc tin market. Prices are llrm all along the line nnd the trado .is ,i whole could not well bo In a moro healthy condition. Locally the volume of business being transacted Is of very sntlsfactory proportions. Winter goods nre not selling particularly well, but tno open winter has ennnled more out-or-door work to be cnrrled on than usual, which hns created a demand for such lines ns nre generally not used much before spilng. Last month ns n wholo 'ompnrei very favorably with tht corresp-ndlng mouth of last vear, nnd ns a result Jobbers aro well satisfied. House Trnile Improving. Dry goods Jobbors nre still working night nml clny to get their spring orders tilled. Traveling men nro landing new business every dnv, but thero Is no doubt but wlmt they nre handicapped to some extent ny thn fnct that retnllers hnve too much wlntr stock on band and nre afraid to buy very mnny spring goods until they see how they nro coming out with their present stock. Jobbers' however, tiro doing much better thnn they ever hnvo before, so they havo no cause for complnlnt. Huyors nro now beginning to nrrlvo on the mnrket, and from this time on Jobbers anticipate a big house trade. According to all advices received thero will bo many more merchants on the market this year than ever before. This Is porhaps owing to a large extent to tho fact thnt thero nre now two wholesale dry goods housts here, which gives merchants a lnrger stock to select from nnd makes it more desirable for them to come on tho mnrket tn buy their goods. There Is nothing now to bo snld of tho mnrket. ns nil lines are practically un changed. Trnde In eastern marketn Is picking up n little, buyers showing more terdency to place their orders thnn was tho case a short tlmo ngo. There nave been no market changes of importance though, and tho general opinion seems to b, that there will be none In the immo dlato future. Sharp Decline In Ituhlier Gooils. Tho principal event In rubber goods the past week was the radical change In rub ber goods, nmountlng to between n 10 nnd 17 per cent reduction. It will be romim-bc-red thnt previous to this time there was n 5 per cent reduction, so thnt the decline since Jnnunry 1 h over 20 per cent. Tho el'.nnge went Into effect February 1. It was not entirely unexpected" ns local Jobbers wero predicting lower price, although thry ill 1 not know lust how much It would b,.. There will be no change In tho plan of srll. tng goods floods shipped between now nnd April 1 will be ilntoi thirty dnys from dato of shipment Goods ordered before April 1. but not shipped until after thnt dats-. will bo subject to November 1, thirty days dating. The list price will remain the namo ns for l!'0O As regnrds the volume of business rubber goods Jobbers stnto there Is very little lining. Hetallers havp nil tho winter g.io-s they wnnt. anil whnt bothers them now Is bow to sell what they have on hand It will tnko several days of cold weather to brenk up stocks ns thoroughly ns they should be. Spring llnet are beginning to mrve to somo extent and mncklntoshs are selling nultn well. The change In discounts does not nffect any kind of rubber cloth lnir. so that tmrt of the trnde Is not dp- mornllzed. if normal wentner Is experi enced In tho spring Jobbors nre of .be opinion thnt they will do a very satis factory nmoun' of business. Leather goods lobburs aro selling spring lines ns well as could be expected unler thu elicumstnnces They are meeting somo d!s- courngements. however, owing to the Inrgo stocks of winter goods In the hnnds of re tailers. Aside from that fnct the trado cutlook Is very encournglng. nnd thero seems tn be no doubt but whnt merchants will experience n otg spring demand. Advance In l.lnxeeil Oil, The price of llns'ed oil ndvancd sharp'y nst week owing to the high price of the seed, as compared with that of tho oil. Tor som time It hns beon clnlmcd that tho selling price of the oil wns entirely too low as compnred with the cost of the seed, so thnt tho advance Inst week, amounting to. 7 cents per gallon, was not unexpected. It Is snld now thnt the prices on tho finished nnd unfinished article nro now about on n parity. As n result of the advance In linseed oil hluher prices nre apt to rule on mixed pnlnts In the nenr future. White lend re mains the same as It was a week ngo, and th same Is true of turpentine. The glass situation Is nttrnctlng consid erable nttentlon. and another nuvan'-e of nbout 10 per cent Is predicted. In antlft pntlon of the high prices locnl lobbers no experiencing rtn unusually heavy demand for this season of the year. Fruit" nml Produce, Thero huvo been nlmost no chnnges nt nil tho pnst week In the quotations on fiults nnd vegotnbles. Trade Is very satis fnctory nnd johbers report a good general demand for all classes ot goods. rherj has been no special feature to tho trade worthy of mention. Kggs are a llttb) lower than they wero n week ngo, as the quotations will shnv, but poultry and buttnr aro about tho mine. ew Vnrli Cciicrnl MurUct, NEW YORK, Feb. 2 -With the excep Hon of the Coffeo exchange nil the exchnnnes of this city wero closed as a murk of respect to the memory of tho late Queen Victoria.
