6 BANKING BILL BOSH. The Currency Committee Seeks to Get It Through by Next Friday. NIGHT SESSIONS WANTED. Considerable Opposition to Hurrying- the Measure Through So Quickly. NICARAGUA CANAL BILL. It Is the Chief Business of the Senate--The Christmas Adjournment. Washington, Dec. 16.— This week. the last before the holiday recess, prom ises to be an exciting one in tlie house. I'he banking and currency committee has arranged lo bring forward the Car lisle banking bill, and will tomorrow prefer a request to the committee on rules lor :i special order which will set aside the remainder of the week, be ginuirg on Tuesday, for debate on the Carlisle bill, with provision for a final vote on Friday next. The banking committee desires to prolong the ses as to begin at 11 a. m. and con tinue until 10:30 at night, with a recess from 3 until Sp. m. The terms, the special order, 'will be submitted to the committee on rules tomorrow. There is considerable opposition among the Democrats of the house to tiif short limit it is proposed to set up on the debate. Maisj ot them feel that a measure involving such gigantic interests, contemplating, as it does, a revolution in the entire baiikiiii system of the country, should not be crowded through in baste, Ihis gis shared by some of the mo>t prominent Democratic ieaders of the 'jous«\ and it seems a large possibility that the banking and currency commit lee will be overruled,and the special Snal order will give tins week to de bate, with provision for a Snal vote after the holiday recess. Tomorrow the house will take up and dispose of the army appropriation bill. The ad journ nient for the holiday recess will probably oc-ur on Saturday*. The talk of continuing the session without the customary recess seems to be based on very siitrht foundation. MCAKAGIA CANAL BILL. It Will Be tlie Topic uppermost in tho Senate. Wa-!iini. kin. Dec. Id.—The Nicara gua canal bill holds its place as the un finished business in the senate calendar, and the general understanding appears to be that it will occupy the attention of the senate with few interruptions, and those by consent, until a vote is taken upon St. The bili only comes up on eaeb day after the disposal of the n.orn ing business, and it will surrender this place temporarily Thursday to permit the ceremonies in commemoration of Webster and Stark.and of the unveiling of their statues, which have been placed in the Capitol. There is also a probability that the committee on appropriations may ask consideration for the urgency deficiency bill towards the last of the week. It is understood that Senator Coekrill. chairman of this committee, will lay stress upon the importance of getting this bill through before the hol idays, and that he will ask the commit tee to pass upon it Monday or Tuesday. There is little probability. however,that any of the other appropriation bills will receive the attention of the senate dur ing the week. The disposition among senators is favorable loan adjournment on Thursday until after the Christmas holidays, but it is probable that the house will not consent to this arrange ment, and that the adjournment will be delayed until Saturday. The pro gramme, therefore, with reference to tlse adjournment, so far as one has been arranged, is to adjourn on Satur day, the 22d Inst., until Thurs day, the 3d of January. Some senators predict that the final vote Dn the Nicaragua bill will be reached *his week, but the friends of the bill eareely hope lor this result. They eali/.e that the precedents of the senate j r— WASHING T 3** COMPOUND THE GREAT INVENTION £-— faKSAv/f/aTouSfxPCMsr ji-^.

Dec. 16.—With refer ence to the more recant tests of the Hurst gun at the Indian Head proving ground, which have been represented as unsatisfactory, 11. P. liurst, the in ventor, claims that the failure of the ■run to meet expectations was due to the manner of loading. He says he in ters from reports of the experiment that the outside charge was built up beyond the end of tiie inner tube, causing an explosion of the outside charge before tiie tail piece of the projectile left the inner tube. This fact would, be says, account for the increased pressure re ported. When Mr. llarst made this representation to Commodore Sampson. chief of the bureau of ordnance, he re plied that the projectiles would have to be made stronger, and a new design made tor them. I!EIALI.\IU).\ OX GERMANY. It Is Liteely to Occur in the Near Future. Wasmxotox, Dec. 1(5.— In view of the disinclination of congress to take up the su^ar schedule of the tariff act, and the consequent iniprobability of any action such ns was recommended by the president looking to the repeal of the duty of one tenth of one cent on sugar produced under the bounty sys tem, the future action of the German government is bstug awaited with some apprehension here. The speech of the German chancellor in the reichstag, in which he made a strong point of the discrimination imposed by the United Mates towards German sugar, is ue lieved to indicate the strengthening of the policy which that government lias adopted directed to the excising of se vere restriction upon American prod ucts sought to bu imported into Ger many. At present Mr. Kunyon, our minister to Germany, is working hard to secure an amelioration of the rigid order of exclusion m the case of American cattle, and Secretary Grcsham is in almost daily con sultation with the German minister here upon the same subject, as well as upon that of cottonseeu oil, which has just suftered a severe blow from the increase of the import tax to2oo per cent, prac tically exclusive. Up to this time no appreciable degree of success has at tended those efforts of our government, the character of the negotiation appear ing to indicate a purpose on the part of the German government to procrastl nate until congress decisively an nounces its intention in the matter of the sugar duty. As long as these eru ditions obtain, our government is likely to wait patiently, but should there be any fresh attacks by the Germans upon American interests, there is good rea son to believe that the administration will have recourse to the retaliation act of ISiW, and, singling out some German article, the importation of which into the United States about equals in vol ume the normal American cattlo and meat traue with Germany, forbid its importation. GROVER GOJ'.S HUNTING. D The President to Be Absent From Washington a Week. Washington, Dec. 10. — President Cleveland,accompanied by Dr. O'Reilly, Capt. K. D.

Market Showed Weak Ten dency at Times, but Closed Strong. GOOD BUYING ORDERS Aided in Causing a Rise—Pro visions Slightly Weaker. STOCKS WERE IRREGULAR, With a Tendency to Weakness —Decline in General Market. Chicago, Dee. ir>.- Wheat had a soft •pot early in the session, but It was firm all over at the close. Compared with yesterday's close, wheat is Jf,e bicker. Cora is uv ! 4 (if;i s c. and pro visions lower by l:2;-c for pork, oc in lard and 10c in rib.*. Oats closed un changed. Bay orders were in the majority in the wheat market at the opening, and could only be tilled by paying a slight advance over yesterday's closing price. The comparative firmness of the En glish and foreign market?, and the tact that the week's exports from this side went almost entirely from American Atlantic ports, were the chief reasons for the slight change in speculative sentiment. The firmness displayed for a few minutes at the opening soon gave place to weakness when it was tele graphed from Minneapolis that the stocks in regular elevators would show an increase for the week of 750,000 bushels, and that stocks had increased 1,100,000 bushels. Another considerable addition to the visible sup ply was immediately suggested by the above announcement, and on that sup position ail hope of improvement was lost, and the price began to give way. May, which at the opening brought from 5Gj?gC to SS^e. had in the course of half an hour declined to 58 3c. Some of the heaviest local operators, and many alj-o of the New York profession als, began to cover, and that starting others to buy, the market changed again from weak to strong, and May lose gradually until it was up U>sß%caround which price it held during the last half hour of the session. The shorts were, perhaps, influenced to some extent by the small receipts at primary markets and the liberal export clearances from Atlantic ports for t\venty : four hours. Closing cables were mm. The market closed firm at the best price of the day, 57% c for May. Corn was strong after a weak open ing. May started with a decline of }£c and closed with an advance of >4@> Js'c. The opening quotation was 4'.s%c, and it rose near the close to sU^c, with 50% (it'so>4C the final •trading price. The continued small receipts and generally wet weather predicted for the country tonight and all day tomorrow were the chief factors in scaring the shorts and encouraging the longs. Business was fairly good after the advance started. Another dull, uninteresting session was passed in the oats crowd. Fluctua tions were narrow and governed entirely by corn. May sold from Sgj&c to 32 } A io 32% c and up t032! 4 c, at which price it was offered at the close. The trade in provisions was inconse quential. racking to date was given at 1,148,000. against 093,000 for the similar period of season a year ago.

New York, Dec. 15.— Speculation on the stock exchange today was inactive and the market was irregular and un settled, but tending toward weakness rather than strength, and most of the shares dealt in closed at a decline from the final prices made yesterday. There was no very pronounced pressure to sell except perhaps in Sugar, but there was evinced a disposition to close out con tracts especially in the matter of taking profits where shown. The current news of the street was mostly bearish. It was rumored that the Chicago Gas dividend, if declared, would be In scrip; fhat the assets of Baltimore & Ohio have ma terially decreased: that Germany would take action to meet the protective clauses of the sugar" schedule of the tariff bill; that, the foreign exchange market was harden ing and would induce increased ex portations of gold, and that a reorgani zation of the Distilling aud Cattle Feeding company was among the near probabilities. On the other hand, it was reported that the earnings of St. Paul tor the second week in December would show an increase, and the otter ings of this stock by London and the local traders were more readily ab sorbed by reason thereof. The market opened heavy and declined for the lirst halt hour, Sugar, Consolidated Gas and Oregon Short Line leading the down ward movement. Then eMM a rally in which only Pittsburg & Western preferred and Pittsburg, C. C. & St. Louis advanced more than a fraction. A reaction quickly followed, the losses being fractional except In Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago Gas, Denver & Rio Grande and Oregon Improvement. The depression continued to the end, the market closing heavy. Chief among the losses on the day are: ; Sugar, 1%; Sugar preferred. %\ Bal timore & Ohio, \\i\ Chicago Gas and Consolidated Gas, X%\ Oregon Improve ment, Oregon Short Line and Denver & Rio Grande, 1, and the Grangers, %@}A per cent. Some of the specialties show gains, including Pittsburg, C, C. & St. Li., 3 per cent; Pittsburg, C, C. & St. Louis preferred, 1; Tobacco preferred;"; 2%; Pittsburg & Western preferred, 1%, and Peoria & Eastern, 1 per cent. b- During the week the market has been erratic in its course. In the early part the repeal of the anti-pooling section of the interstate commerce act by the lower house of congress excited a favor able Influence in the railway list, and the senate caucus refusal to consider the tariff question in Us relation to sugar strengthened the stock of that company, which Is the ackuowled stock of the market. An improvement in values consequent upon these favora ble influences was partly lost during the latter part of the week, when, by selling 10 realize profits by clique ma nipulations, and as regards Sugar, by the introduction in the German reich stag 'of a resolution to adopt a policy of reprisal to meet the protective duty on sugar, a reaction set In which was most p;onounced in the closing dealings. The principal change?, compared with the prices current at the close last Sat urday, are: Advances— CpLoradQ Fuel preferred, 5; PiiUbufjf, C., C. $ St. LOUIB pre ferred, \}-i\ do common, lW; New York, Chicago & St. Louis firsts preferred and Tobacco, 4; do preferred, 2'j; Sugar, «>%;_EdiHon Electric of New York, do ot brook 11, ana Morns and Essex, Z}i\ Lake Erie & Western preferred. 3; St. Paul preferred, Laclede Gas pre ferred apd Minneapolis & St. Louis pre ferred, 2'.j; do commdu and Rubber preferred, 2>£; United States Express, St. Paul, M. * M. f Oregon Improve ment and Nashville & Chattanooga, 2.
