from the disturbing Inlluences Incident to

been pec-lnl causes of dlstinbunco , all more

developments have cuised ome distrust
as to the condition of financial affairs In
thn west , and .UP regaleleel as Indicating
the nfter effects of the late years of stnln
In that section of the country , but they ein
hardly be te-gatded as having produced any
local shock , anil none of the New York
ngents of the failed Institutions have suf
fered , the main ptTeet of the occurrences
having been to cause free shipments of em.

strengthen the cash re-sources of thebtnk
of those cities With these exceptions , how-

fae-torv symptom of the piesont condition

Tie condition of our political relation"
with Cub i has for some weeks pist been a
really serious element of distrust so much
so as to prove an Important obstruction to
the reeoveiv of uotilldemo which set In
with the election It Is this fact which
cmise d the llt-U news of the ( \iiiuron reso
lution * * to have such an Important eflec-t
upon the prices of stocks The < e resolu
tions afforded a fair test of the sensitive
ness of Wall street upon this question , but
t'le-y ' have also serveel as a test of public
opinion upon this mibjeet , and with very
gratifying results The president's message
ul o was such a te" > t. nnd Its reception
pioved th.it nt le-nst the sober class of citi

Its present stage , nnd ( I ) as to the ihinees
of Spiln accepting our "friendly olllces" I"
the face of our concurrently pel fanning
an "unrrle ndly act" I'rom the manifest
tenor of public opinion. It Is very cle.ir that
the public , and especially the letlectlng
mill responsible portion , arp strongly op
posed to any uuneee--sary Intrusion on the
sltiutlon Indeed the comparative silence
of the jingo agitators Is surprising , and
continsts strikingly with the belllgctont
outburst evoked by our action In the
Venezuelan controversy This e < imigei of
siiitlment seems to indicate that the ill -
eusslon to which our Interimtlonnl le'i-
tlons have been subjeete-il within the last
twelve months has modified the pisslon for
an exhibition of our militant ability and
produced a nnrked moderation of the ex
treme Ideas of foreign polle v towaid which
a rash and uninformed public opinion has
Inloly been carrying us Congrexs has
been quite ready to respect this new mod
eration of public sentiment ; for It now ap-
iH'ars likely that Hie senate may re\ect ]
Senator Cameron's resolutions , and their
acceptance by the house of representatives
Is very generally conceded to bo out of the
question. , , ,
This development of public opinion Is
most fortunate for the interests of busi
ness Tor , apart from our escaping the
chances of becoming' needlessly Involved
In n struggle with Spain , the adoption of
the Cameron resolution by both bouses of
congress would precipitate a conflict with
the preblclent upon a question of constitu
tional prerogative of the gravest character ,
and which could not have failed to produce
a \lolcnt upheaval In domestic politics : .
The specter of an Intrusive and bolllgeient
foreign policy , which has lately too often
made Its appearance In the hulls of con
gress , Is now dismissed by tbovoice of the
[ u-ople , and with no small Riun to the future
of confidence There Is really little to
e-hoose between the1 danger of the policy
of free coinage mid the haunting possibil
ity of becoming , at any moment , em
broiled In foreign quarrels The frequent
expressions of the Jingo spirit have cieated
a feeling of Insecurity , which has very
materially embargoed the 1 irgvr move
ments of capital and produced distrust In
countries In whoso confidence we nrc vitally
interested There now seems to bo good
renhon for believing that politic-il leaders
mvo become convinced tlmt It Is Impos
sible to create attractive Issues out of Inter
national embroilment : ) , mid this fact will ,
more than anything1 else , clear the way
for the national leeuperallon which set
.n with the election of Mr MrKlnley The
exhibition of this vv holchomf drift of pub
ic opinion Is perceived by Wall street , and
the strong feeling1 mid rising1 prices In the
stock market for the latter half of the
inst week Is to be attributed to that fact
The removal of the Cuban clangers has
produced a hopeful feeling as to the drift
if the Wall street markets after the ope-n-
ng1 of the new year In stocks there Is a
steady stream of buying , In anticipation
of January opening with a higher innge
of values and with a renewal of activity

The course of the foreign exchange * * con-

RICHARD A. McCURDY , President *
Who will pay that mortgage
on your home if you die before
It's lifted ?
A life insurance policy will
do it , and the cost to you is
only the annual premium paid
to the company. It is like pay
ing a little extra interest on
your mortgage to insure its re
lease if you die.
The resources of the Mutual
Life of New York exceed the
combined capital of all the na
tional banks of New York City ,
Chicago , Boston , Philadelphia ,
St. Louis , Cincinnati and Balti
more.
A duty delayed is & duty
shirked. Let a man convinced
of responsibility secure adequate
protection and at once.
INSURE NOW

MUTUAL LIFE.
A Policy of Insurance in the
Mutual Life is the quickest
asset vou can leave.
are put clown here wholly without malice
towarel a single C'hleigo Interest
1'erhaps a different record comes to you
in letteis nnd dispatches from New York
hankers themselves , anil perhaps Mich bul
letins and dlspitcbru arc honest in theli
cordiality , but the truth Is an I tell It ,
Chicago Is a placarded bugaboo hero light
now. The spirit may be unfair. I haven't
a single doubt on . .that score- , but don't
doubt that It Is n. spirit trill Isery real
with New York bankers without Chicago
bankers present to hear
And the why mid the wherefore of It
may not be far to seek. Chicago has been
making heavy Inroads on New York as a
banking center In the last half a dozen
ye > ars Ono evidence of this will bo con
spicuous when New York clearing house
figures are given out In the two cities n
week hence.
Incidental to the bink revelations nt Chl-
cngo , vvo have hnd abounding' rumors
touching1 -variety of Chicago local se
curities Chicago Has has been under sut-
velllnnco by t peculators , who have heard
that certain gas Insiders have been badly
caught In the recent failures It Is re
ported that one Chicago member of the
pool controlling Chicago G is Is obliged to
let go n long- line of stocks , Including1 a
batch of Chicago Gns. Governor Dower
and Anthony lirnily hay they know noth
ing1 of nny such Incident , but they appar
ently nro rather careless at the moment
UH to what may be gas stocks' ups or
clew ns
Diamond Slntch hns also been under pres
sure on rumors similar to those circu
lated ronccrnliiff Gas Such nelvlces ns
come to Wall strc-ot from trustworthy Chicago
cage sources do not eonform to the Ideas
which the stock market speculators are
basing1 theories upon
General trade reports arc not very In
spiring1 The year pops out with business
halting1. The revival nntlclp itccl so con
fidently ns an election sequel comes in
exceedingly leisurely fashion Yet on all
hides , from every part of the country , mid
from practically every commeiclnl , finan
cial and Industrial Interest Is lo bo had
confident ns iirnnco tlmt the new year
will proceed but n little way before we
have betterment so much yearned for
1 have seen today private dispatches tak-
IIIR this cncouMKlnK view from local au
thorities nt lioston , Piovidencp Sprlnp-
Jlclel. New Haven Albany , UufTalo. Cleve-
