Some start ling testimony wca given today at the pre liminary hearing of B. A.

Welsa of Northampton county to vote for Mr. Wanamalter for United States nenator. After Mr. Van Valltenburg had been called and pleaded not guilty the prosecution called J. Tlllard , who eald he vras employed by the Interstate detective agency of Scran- ton. Tlllqnl said ho was sent to the Wana- niaker people early In the summer to hire out to them and then disclose all Informa tion ho could get to his superlora. Ho de scribed Interviews ho had with Mr. Van Valkcnburg. Ho said It was agreed that ho was to help the latter secure votes nnalmit Senator Quay's candidate for United States senator. Ho told how ho had consulted with him and Induced Van Valkenburg to give him money to bribe people In various parta of the state , notably In Luzcrnc. Showing a photographic receipt from Dr. Mackoy of Luzerne county for $1,2CO and pledging him self to vote for Wunnmakcr. Tlllard ac knowledged that ho had kept $ ! > 0 out of the original sum , which was $1,300. Ho oald It had been given him by Vnn Vnlkcnburg. The defendaut'fl counsel objected to the tes timony as having no bearing on the WcUs case , but the Justice admitted It. A rcceoa was then taken , The trial terminated abruptly this after noon when the defendant waived a further hearing and entered ball , Thla was done because of the admission of Detective Til- lard's testimony , regardless of the objection of the defense. Shortly after leaving another warrant was served upon Mr. Van Valkcnburg , charging him with conspiracy to bribe Dr. N. J. Mackey of Lackawanna. Hall was entered. After the withdrawal of the defendant and his counsel the taking of testimony was pro ceeded with In their nbnence , Tlllard swore he had received JHOO In five noteo of J100 each to pay to Mr , Weiss , Ho fa Id the money was given to him by Von Valkcn- burg.

The action of clearliiR houses In various places Indicate * no want of con- lldencc , and several banks which have failed will bo enabled to pay In full , but disclosures of unsotindness In a few widely known Institutions , In the abnormal state of popular feolhiR after an exciting con test on monetary Issues , has caused dis trust and suspicion where It Is frequently undeserved. There has been no monetary pressure to cause the trouble , nor have Important western products dt-cllned In value. There has evidently been too lib eral assistance Riven by some fiduciary concerns of speculative operations. No drain on eastern funds has resulted Blnco the llrst alarm at two larse failures , and the money has been returned. Failures grow more frequent as annual settlements approach. Holiday dullness has bfvn In- tensllled by the failures and the efforts of jirout combinations to make new arrange ments. With Iron , coke , wool , cotton nnd hides all somewhat lower , there Is almost uni versal confidence that business will noon become larger and safer than before for a long time , ami several large establishments , which employs 7,000 hands when full , nnd the- Maryland Stool company , will now start operation ! ) . Cotton inlllM have on hand large utookH of unsold goods In sonic lines , the surplus of print cloths being the largest ever Known , and was the quarter of a year's consumption. Wool sales de creased 21 per cent In the llrst four months and were smaller than for live years ; do- crenseil 55 per cent In the second Inur months , when now wool was coming for ward , and wore much the smallest ever Known , except In tin * panic of 1S73 , but enormous sales , mainly speculative , made the aggregate during the last four months nearly equal to that of lust year. Wheat has risen to the highest point since June , 1S02 , because western receipts In live weeks have been but 13,230,003 bu. , against 22.COfi.3fl7 last year. Atlantic ex ports. New York Included , have been In live weeks 9000OfO bu. , against 10.613.219 last year. The exports from New York In De cember were u per cent larger and Im ports 12 per cent smaller than lust year.

NEW YORK , Dec. 31. Hradstreefs review of the stock market tomorrow will say : Trading on the Stock exchange continues to bo entirely profcfuloiml In character and origin. There * has. however , been a notice able Improvement In speculative feeling , which showed In pplto of the prevalent Inactivity. The situation at Chicago and 'Minneapolis and the Idea that the col lapse of Inllated or weak banks and busl- ne > ss enterprises may cause further and more serious trouble there has been held steadily before the street , while the un favorable character of railroad cnrnliiKR returns , In particular the St. 1'aul road's November1 statement of gross nnd not rev enues , furnished bearish arguments In the market. In spite of these facts , prices have displayed considerable ) resistance and bear ish attacks fall to dislodge long stocks , l.liiuldntlons seem to have been completed and securities have passed Into strong hands , while there Is a disposition to look forward to a better speculative situation with the progress of the new year. Among the factors which have contributed to create such sentiments Is the more favor able tenor of Washington news In regard to the Cuban situation and other matter : ) . Washington , In fact , supplied some buying In Sugar stock , on the apparent theory that any revision of the tariff may result to the benellt of refined Interests. Tt may bo mentioned In thls-connncctlon that some attention Is paid to the prospect of an extra session of congress after March I , but consideration of the matter has not assumed a form discouraclng to Hjiecii- hitlve activity. Kuropi * lias taken little part In our maiket , but tlu > completion of the fortnightly account there and the fact I that money there BIOWH ! Indications of be coming easier after January 1 , must be reckoned among the favorable InllucnceH of the moment. In this connection also , It must be noted that the street Is at last awakening to the Importnnc-o of our favorable - vorablo trade balances for the past year , n very dti'llilng evidence of which is afforded by the wenkiu'ss of the exchange market , in nplto of the easy condition of the money- market. With reference to the WHtern Ilnanclal troubles , It may be said the dis position of this market to disregard them arises In part from the fact that there has been practically no disturbance of money rates or loans on that no.omit , and , fur thermore , hce-nusc of the evidence that the disasters themselves have been in the main confined to concerns which wt-ro manifestly unsound to the core. Investments are for the moment quiet , though lionet values arc well maintained , and n good deal of stress may bu laid upon the expected develop ments of n much more pronounced Invest ment demand. Sug nr has been the lending feature of the market. The Interest taken In the details of .the conlllut between the Sugar people and the great Arbucklo coffee house has not had much Inlluencn on Hpecnlatlon and manipulation In the Sugar company's stock. Knr more Importance In this connection was attached to the hearing before the ways and means committee at Washington of the migar producing Interests , and Washington piircliuHlnir , based on reports that a favorable view might be taken of the claims of the refiners to protection ngalnsl sugar from countries that pay an export bounty , resulted In buying1 and short covering.
