DONDON, Jan. intensity of popular Interest in the question in Ireland of securing financial justice has been fully evinced by the great meetings held in Dublin, Dimerick and Belfast. On Tuesday night an important meeting was held at Limerick, presided over by Lord Dunraven, who sits In the House of Lords as Baron Kenry. He is a Conservative, and has been a staunch supporter of the government, but his appeeranee as chairman at the Lmicriek meeting is proof that he will be found opposing the cabinet on the question of Irish taxation unless the government makes concessions that I avert an open fight.

John Daly, the recently released dynamiter, also spoke. His presence on the platform with Lcrd Dunraven shows how community of interest has caused political animosities to be laid aside. Daly elicited cheers by expressing the hope that if Lord Castletown of Upper Ossory remained true to himself and Ireland, history would proclaim him as the successor of Washington.

KELLER Bankers and Brokers, 44 Broadway New York. To a Dull but Qenerally Strong Market ilevival in Mining Share Speculations the Feature of the Boston Market. Saturday Evening, Jan. 2. The stock market opened the new year strong, but wiith business on rather a small scale.

In New York this dulness was the most pronounced, the transactions in the first ten minutes amounting to barely 4000 shares, while for the entire dJay sales aggregated only 56,950 shares and less than half a million bonds. The only influence was of a general character relating to more hopeful views of the outlook in Congress, for a later revival in general business and for a large reinvestment of January interest and dividend disbursements. Particularly strong features were General Electric, Chicago Gas and Sugar, while the railway list showed a pretty uniform advance of 1-4 to 1-2. The closing was strong at about the highest of the day.

The advance in copper is a fact of the greatest importance to all our copper proi'imcing mines, and noit is copper higher, but it is going still higher.

These complainants shcv to this court that there were held in said Boston from the 26th of September, 1896, two separate gatherings of persons, each claiming to be the regular Slate convention of the Democratic party aforesaid, and that one of the said gatherings was held in Music Hail in said Boston and the streets adjacent thereto, and that the other of said gatherings was held in Faneuil Hall in said Boston and the streets adjacent thereto, and these complainants advised and verily believe and they say to this court uppn information and belief, that the said gathering held in Music Hall was the regular Democratic State convention for the year 1896, and that the gathering In Faneuil Hall, as aforesaid, was irregular, Invalid, and had no effect in law. And these respondents were and each of them was appointed without warrant, power, authority or justification in law, by the said gathering of persons in Faneuil Hall, and the streets adjacent thereto, as aforesaid, to be members-at-large, so-called, of the Democratic State committee of the year 1897 aforesaid; and that the only right or title which the respondents or any of them have or claim to have to membership of the said Democratic State committee for the year 1897 ov to participate in its doing or deliberations, or to be present at its meetings or to take any part therein is derived solely from the said appointing at the said Faneuil Hall gathering, and solely in and by virtue therof and not otherwise.

committee, and to exclude the Music Hall men even from being present to submit a protest. is the same old story of Boston rail caucus methods, introduced to keep the State committee in the same hands as controlled it Last fall, with a view to turn the party aw'ay from the Chicago platform. I have claimed is that the district members, selected locally from the whole State, are the proper tribunal to choose between the contesting delegations, or exclude both in their discretion. It is fraud to force one faction upon the new committee to vote upon its ow'n case. It is fairness to submit factional disputes to the district members; they will act fori tion for the next two ses.sions, and until the time arrives for tlie cabinet to make a grand coup designed to settle the demand for autonomy for Ireland and to reduce the Irish representation at Westminster under a redistribution of seats scheme.

It cannot be denied that the last commission left some important points unsettled, but the leading witness who appeared before that commission, and who will reappear before the next commission, says that it will be impossible to disprove the contention that Ireland pays an annual excess of Mr. John Dillon, the well-known Irish leader, has declared that the government should refund to Ireland the vast sum of of Mr. as to the admission colleagues before signing the final de- of jute fabrics free of duty.

its report that Ireland was overtaxed, the English Tories refuse, as a rule, to admit that Ireland pays more than her fair share of the irriperlal expenses, and many figures are produced to prove that the contrary is the case. One Tory organ says that the per capita tax in Ireland is far below that of Great Britain. It that the per capita contribution to the imperial revenue is for Englishmen $11, while for Irishmen it is only $7, a proportion sufficiently large in favor of Ireland, It holds, to admit Of no argument as to overtaxation. It is added that of the amount expended yearly for Imperial purposes Ireland contributes $10,000,000, while share i.s $260,000,000 and $32,500,000. The revenue collected in Ireland amounts to $30,000,000, but instead of this whole amount being taken for the Imperial exchequer, $20,000,000 is devoted to local purposes.

The Englisn Tories contend that and therefore no Industry to protect. C. E. Pearce of St. laouis, representing the manufacturers of cotton bagging and cordage, asked for t.he restoration of the duty on these articles, provided in tho McKinley bill.

I think that no one will feel bad if I relate one incident in the many that occurred in Judge court room, and which elicited a suppressed snicker from the many members of the Boston Stock Exchange who were attentive listeners. Mr. Paine, the successful bidder for the 90,000 shares, had in eloquent language described how he had purchased the 90,000 shares from the heirs at $2 per share, and disposed of one-half of it, or 45.000 shares, to Mr. Bigelow at $1.44 per share, and the balance to his customers, showing a profit of some to $30,000, later on explaining that Mr. Bigelow really sent him two checks, one for $65,000 and one for $81,250, the latter of which he (Mr.

Paine) indorsed over to Mr. Samuel Untermcyer, counsel for the Butte reorganization committee.

That the insiders are trying to accumulate Pierced, is evidenced by the way they close every night. Thus on Thursday, at the close, they marked it down from 7 1-2 to 7.

Then again tonight they closed it at 7 5-8, against a fine sale of a small lot at 8. It would not surprise me in least to see it sell at 81-2 before Mondavi will be held at Jersey City on Wednes day, Jan. 13, 1897, at 12 for reelection of Directors H. O. Havemeyer, Matthiessen and William Dick, whose terms of office expire.
