Treasury Plan to Buy American Silver and End Free Coinage
Washington dispatch explains a House resolution by Taylor of Chicago to buy 15 million ounces more silver plus existing monthly purchases of 4.5 million ounces, all from American mines. Treasury Windom supports restricting purchases to American silver to raise prices, with stamps on foreign bars and penalties for noncompliance, aiming to absorb surplus and curb foreign coinage. The plan faces skepticism in Congress but may be advanced by the House committee with Republican backing, as global silver demand and policy shifts are watched.

No Improvement Sought for North River Mouth
Lt Col Mansfield reports against improving North River between Hanover and North Marshfield Mass citing high cost and doubtful returns. He quotes late coast survey professor Whiting noting gains could be ruined by storms and that current river has little commercial value even if improved. He estimates mussel shoal removal could exceed $25,000 and concludes the river mouth is not worthy of improvement.

Wall Street Notes On Union Pacific And Rail Stocks
The market faced panicky conditions with Union Pacific showing weakness and two stampedes as traders fret over a possible reorganization. Gould's debt, Missouri Pacific losses, and declining Northwest stocks weigh on sentiment while banks stay confident as money in sight rises. A Cuban sugar syndicate eyed San Ramon at 836000, and Henry Clews’s nephew joined the NYSE. Northern Pacific earnings rise to 95869 for December, with overall optimism on a banking restart and rail line ambitions from New York Central.
