POTTSVILLE , 1M. . Dec. ' 31. Some start
ling testimony wca given today at the pre
liminary hearing of B. A. Van ValKenburg ,
\vlio hits clmrgo of John Wanaiuaker's sena
torial campaign nt Harrl3burg , and who was
arrested last night charged with attemptIng -
Ing to bribe llcprraonatlvo Webster C.
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. Ho subsequently recelviftT live other
note * from Scrauton anil returned them to
Van Valkcnburg. who afterward acknowl
edged their receipt/

Tlio year closes with nn rpldcmlo of fail
ures. mainly at the west and In bunks , loan
and trust coinpanlps , or concerns dependent
on them. 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

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

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.

Gqneral trade had been rather more quiet
nnd thlH week proven one of thu dullest
of thu dull Hcason which Ims followed the
fortnight of revived demand curly In No
