If,,, TnURSDAT, July 8. The fact that the passage of the Tariff bill by the Senate did not stimulate a demand for securities from beyond the limits of Wall street nor even from Important interests that are closo to the stock markot. was regarded by profes- sional dealers ln stocks as a very discouraging circumstance. Before the day was over, and as prices yielded moderately under professional sell- ing, the speculative community appeared to con- vince Itself that the tariff measure would be a long time in conference and that it might be materially modified, particularly tbe sugar cchedule, before an agreement between the two branches of Congress Is reached. It would not be surprising if time should prove that much of the talk to this effect tbat is indulged in at Washington, and upon which tho views referred to are based, Is solely for effect upon tho con- stituents of Congressmen who are bent upon making all tbe capital thoy can out of tboir superficial or insincere opposition to a measure tbat undoubtedly bos the approval of tbe leaders of tbe party In power In both bouses. Fears tbat tbo tariff situation may be complicated by the introduction of tho cur- rency question at this tlmo were also effective in shaping tho course of prices News of the determination of tbo President not to send ln a currency mossage while tho tariff is under discussion did not como to hand until shortly before the close of buslnoss. It is evident that the Administration Is be- tween two flros on tbo currency question. Cer- tain of its most experienced yot unofficial ad- visors nhoso viewa havo been sought hae raised the point that an offurt tu Bocure tbo ap- pointment of a currency commission at this tlmo might provoko a dobato In the Senate that would more than offsot wbatovor benefit busl- noss might dcrlvo from a prompt readjustment of tbo tariff. It is uUo well known that, al- though tho House might act upon n suggestion from tho President that a commission be ap- pointed, Congress as a rule resents the nppolnt- - montof an adIsory body to consider any ques- tion that it believes Itself capable of determin- ing. Tho possibility that a commission might hamper or handicap tho Administration In carrying out its own vlows regarding the re- modelling of the country's finances bos riot been Ignored by tbe President and the Secre- tary of tho Treasury and tbelr most disin- terested advisers. On tbe other hand, tho President apparently feels that the cur- rency question woe a paramount lssuo la the last campaign; hence his apparent desire to make somo move that will show that ho Is not unmindful of tbo forces that contrib- uted to Ids election. A solution of the difficulty might possibly bo found by taking the ground that the Issue in the last Presidential campaign was honest money against free Bllvcr, rathor than the more complicated 0110 of unifying or modifying tbe currcnoy. Moreover, with suf- ficient revenuo provided for tho needs of the Qovernmont nnd tho cessation of borrowing to meet successive deficits, tho entire currency question loses much of the Importance tbat It attained during the last Administration. According to all accounts, European bankers and Investors attach moro Importance to the currency question ln the United States than Is accorded It here. This, doubtless, arises from a lack of exact information, However that may be, it is believed tbat recent sales of securities by Kurope, though on a moderate scale, have resulted from fears that Congress may subordi- nate a suggested remodelling of tbe cur- rency system of this country to tariff legislation. If a fuller knowledge of tbe prevailing sentiment here existed abroad foreign dealers ln securities would appreciate why an early adjournment of Con- gress Is likely to be followed by a more confident feeling and greater activity in business. Thero was n further increase In the volume of trading In stocks, but it wsi, a a rule, at tho exv 1 v-f- n' (.' k pense'ef Valued., There was no liquidation to speak of, trot, 'etorts to depress prices were un. mlitalable.-- ' Ttiey were moat pronounced and effective in Sugar Iteflnlng, which sus- tained tho greatest net loss, though It was second to 8t Paul in respect to activ- ity. The character of the telling through- out tha list was Indicated to an extent by the mors notlve borrowing demand for stocks at tha close of business. Advices of continued hot weather at tho West were used with effect against the Granger stocks, particularly C., B. and Qulnoy. Northwest was sustained by a lormnl announcement regarding the plan for re- funding tho company's bonded debt, details of which aro printed ln another column. Tho market for Chicago Gas was Influenced by tbo taking of formal steps toward tbe consolidation of the several companies. A numbor of the less active shares moved contrary to the almost general tendency, and closed materially higher. Among them were Chicago Great Western, Dcs Moines and Fort Dodge, East Hirer Gas, Laclede Gas, IUo Grande and Western proforrod, and Stand- ard Rope and Twine. The bond market showed some improvement, both ln dealings and prices. The heaviest transactions were In Brooklyn Rapid Transit Os, which made a now record, soiling at 80 and closing more than a point higher than yesterday, nt 806.
