Wall Street Hovlew sivs : The stock mar
ket , after having oifeicd a long aud stout
resistance to the Influcuc-o of the unsettled
curivncy question , has at length succumbed
to the Inevitable , and endured this week
a Mqul liitlon appro idling almost to the
dignity of a panic. Failures have occuned ,
prices ha\o in some directions broken down
with violence , the demoraliiUlon of the
market and stiect being for tno
tlmo extrcmo in their charaetur
Tl'i > "street , " as the latter is viewed ,
has simply discounted the evils which
the c'M'itinco of the piesent Iliinnclal sjstem
is bounil to imviuco In general business
throughout the country. 'Iho s'-vetitj of
the uiocesshas. however , beii llmltea bi
several chiumstances , thief among which
is the ovistenco of the sto-jlc clear
ing house sjstem , which has militated
the foicooftlio unfavoialjlo monev market
and cat i led out the business of the street
ui'h a minimum of fiictlon and without uu-
ncicssary fultmus The second consideia-
tion has been heretofore icferred to and
u found In tha complete absence of
( " .tended speculative Inflation In the
r.ulroid shaio list The latter , it
Is tine , has suffeied severely in
s.vmpithj with the imtuittial list , but so far
as panlclev situitions have appeared , thev
were loulincd to the liidustml gioup and tea
a very few of the regular list of stocks , the
rapidity with which the complete lucalc-
down of pi ices was ariestcd on Krida.v being
especialli noticeable Tlie susceptlbllltv
of the Industiial gtoup to such a
process is evident , when it Is con-
sideied that not onlv Ins inllateil manipula

of them , but that the business methods of
some of the most conspicuous seem to bo

it will bo haul for him to impiove on it. The
setting of the play as seen at tlio Hovd is
p.uticulaily praiseworthy. Three interiois

Prime Minister Gladstone replied that
when the house contmltto sho-ild rcich that
st.ign of the hemo rule bill , the government
intended to move to postpone the lln inclal
clauses.

Mr. Gladstone I cannot say. [ I.uighter ]

Ht. lion A J. B ilfour asked the speaker
to stuto his views logirding the thirteen
instructions to the committee icg.irding tno
homo rule bill which vvore standing on the
paper
The speaker declired th it the instructions
wcio all out of order excepting that ofteioil
by Mr Gibson Bowles
Churchill Did Most ot tlm
The rejection of the instructions was n
gloat sutpnso to the house Most of the
thirteen had been piopared by the most
practiced puliamentariiiis , and there h.id
been no general deb ito as to their being In
order linmudi itelj after the speaker made
his doclirition , the opposition mot in a
room to divide upon a united course of
action. Colonel Saundersou , the Ulster
lovullst , presided and Mr Balfour , Mr.
Chamberlain and Lord Handolpn Cliuichill
did most of tlio talking As soon as a de
cision vv.is icathid , the mombets lotuuied
to their Dl ices
Mr Chamberlain gave notice that on
Moiidav ho would ask Mr Gladstone

This chiuso com ems Irish leprescntatlon at
Westminster , which is to bo loduced to

cording to u Painollito amendment
Sir Chillies Uilkc , ladical , moved that
the power of appointing county magistrates
bo tiansfcrrcd from the lord to the laid
lieutenants
John Dillon , aiitM'arncllito for Hast Mayo
supported tlio motion The piesent sjs-
fein of appointing , ho said , was
the toot of the Irish discontent and
agitation for home iiilo. A man daring
to sjmpithi/e vv.tli the politics of the ma-
Joiity of Iieland , was deb 11 red from the
bench Irishmen ifvoro looking to the gov-
cinmcut for redress , aud to piovido a

CiiTlioItts In the Alnglstrnry.
Mr. Asquith. homo seciotary , said tint
since the present t government caino into
power the number ot Catholics in the liish
magistracy had bequ Inoieased There was
no giouud for suspecting the Impartiality of
the great majo'Ity of the magistrates , jet
It was to be hoped that the House would le-
spend to the present appeal to elvo the
declaration , without which the lord chancel
lor believed himself uujustlliocl in setting
usido a pinctiee of long st'imlluu'
Mr. Balfour , leader of the unionists ,
said ho Judged fiom the toiio of the
home secretary's remarks that the
p-overnmcntdid not desiio to improve the
admlulstiatlon of Justice , but to increase
its pationagc The radical party did not
have the courage to attack the in igistracy
openly It wished to mnko it ridiculous and
thus prepiro for the ultimate destruction
ol it.
