Senator Blair Confident in Educational Bill Passage
Washington Feb 21 Senator Blair told the Post correspondent he expects his educational bill to pass the Senate and likely the House, despite efforts to defeat it. He predicts opponents will mount speeches but doubt their impact, while Dixon of Rhode Island says he enjoys senate life more than the House. The Anti Monopoly League opposes Wanamaker’s limited postal telegraph bill, arguing privatization harms workers and that the Post Office can’t handle more business.

Market Notes On Reading and Tennessee Coal & Iron
The report discusses Reading’s potential to earn 12 percent on capital and questions whether Jersey Central can meet it. It notes a Nashville bucket shop influencing Tennessee Coal & Iron with 5 and 10 percent margins. Chicago opened weak due to warmer Northwest weather, with the market described as a weather market controlled by bears in warm spells and bulls in cold. Winter wheat remains in good condition, likely two weeks of zero weather needed for injury, while cold snaps improve country roads and signal heavy corn receipts next week.

Market dull for city bonds as national demand surges
A St Louis despatch notes unprecedented demand for investment securities in that city, while brokers struggle to fill orders for State and municipal bonds. California fruit shipments in January totaled 3,510,800 pounds, up from 2,232,800 last year and 3,130,310 in 1885, with nearly 25 percent of California’s total shipments. Through freight from California by Southern Pacific declined to 14,665,400 pounds from 38,625,000 in 1889, due to snow blockades and washouts. Readings show Reading coal tonnage at 82,423 for the week Feb 15, down 14,779 from 1889, with yearly decline 71,415 tons. Alfred Sully remains bullish on Reading as Jersey Central's situation weighs in.
