in some parts of the country been undergoing a diminution of

the present time put it wholly out of my power to enter orally
upon any full or profitable discussion on a subject which is in
itself complex, and the adequate illustration of which from
contemporary facts would require an expenditure of time
beforehand such as it is out of my power to make. I know
that the circumstances of agriculture (in which I have every
reason to feel a deep interest) vary materially, not only from
time to time, but also in one portion of the country as compared with another; and while I regret that in Suffolk
you should find it your duty to record an increasing
depression, I trust that county may soon share in the
relative improvement
which is, I think, observable
in various parts of the country.

more because the great coal and metil industries which for

Thirty or forty years ago it was very commonly
aiiischief
thought that gold had undergone a very heavy depreciation.
There is now an opinion that it has been artificially and very
largely forced up in value. My belief has been all along that
any increase or any decrease of value which has taken place
has been within very narrow limits. I cannot deny that the
action of certain great Continental States may have had a
limited effect in raising tin exchangeable value of gold. Such
action has arisen, I must suppose, from a desire to attain or
approach to the best possible standard; and while I regret the
inconvenience which may be due even to a minor change of
value, tliere will be a future compensation in the results of a
policy that extends the area over which the best and most stable
standard is in use. I also observe that incidental contraction may
ho counteracted by incidental expansion. It is at this time
thought by many ])ersons that South Africa is about to make a
material addition to the available gold currency of the world.

I personally am aware of no sufficient reason why we ourselves
should not effect a moderate addition to it by the gradual introduction of a carefully limited system of issuing notes
smaller in value than five pounds. But I am convinced that
any s( arch for industrial relief of whatever kind from legislative alteration in the basis of our exchanges, great and
small, which is gold, would be a barren and hopeless quest,
diverting men for the time from efforts after practical thrift
and improvement, and ending in substantial, perhaps in bitter, disappointment. As your lettf r appeals to me upon a sub-

London, Saturday, July

that the elections are over and the holiday season
begun, the money market has become utterly stagnant. It is

The price of silver fell on Tuesday to 39 1-1 6d. per ounce,
barely J^ of a cent above tlio lowest quotation ever yet recorded. On Wednesday there was a recovery owing to a better demand for India council bills than had been anticipated,
but the market has again given way, and looks as if it would
give way further. The anxiety respecting the silver problem
in the United States is deepening. Your assurance that the
American people

that they will again surprise London as they did before risumption, has givf n much comfort ; but people are unable to

Efforts are being made to bring about a compromise in the
shape of a moderate reduction of wages and a restriction ot

|WAL,L 8TKBET. FRIDAY, AUGUST IS, 189»-3 P. M.
The Money Market and Financial Situation.—There has
been some activity in silver bullion certificates this week and
the price declined to 82}^, closing at 82;^; this comes after
many months' operation under the law of July 14, 1890, compelling the purchase by the Government of 4J^ million ounces
of silver bullion per month and ihe issue of legal tender notes
therefor. In this coimection it is worth remarking that the
last sale of Mexican doUars by the Mexican Central Railway
•was about two days ago at 67c.
The low price ot iron in this country is now an inducement
to make use of this metal in every form where it can profitably
be worked in, whether in building or other industrial enterprises, and it is probable that the price of iron wUl rule lower
in the future than the average of the past few years.
The Government crop report for August has been interpreted as indicating a good condition except on cotton, and
in the South any decrease in the yield of cotton after the
past two years' expi-rience has come to be regarded rather as
a blessing than otherwise so far as prices are concerned. The
rains of the past few days have also helped corn materially.
The tabulated retxirt of railroad gross earnings for July is
published in the Chronicle to-day, and shows (on 142 roads
with an increase of l.«14 miles in 1892) a total of $45,437,948
earnings against $44,370,793 in July 1891 an increase this
—
year of $1,067,158.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 1 to 3 per cent,
the average beintr IJ^ per cent. To-day rates on call were
1 to 2 per cent. Commercial paper is quoted at 3 J^@4 p. c.
The Bank of England weekly itatement on Thursday showed
an increase in bullion of £49.000, and the percentage of re
vxte to liabilities was 45-52, against 44-TO last week; the discount rate rt-raaina unchanged at % per cent. The Bank of
Franca abowa an increase •( S6,407,i00 francs in gold and
200,000 francs in ailver.
The New York Clearine-House banks in their statement of
August 6 showed a decreaae in the reserve held of $5,593,300
ftnd a aurpliis over the required reserve ©f $18,798,425, against
$•4,331,275 the previous week.

a meeting of the stockholders of this railway company was recently held to consider plans of reorganization. The road is now in the hands of a receiver,
and it is completed only to Irvine, whereas it was the plan of
the builders to extend the line to Beattyville, thirty odd miles
beyond. Col. Bennett H. Young submitted a plan. The cost
ofconstnicting the extension would be from §400,000 to $500,OOO. The suggestion was adopted and the following gentlemen were appointed on the committee: Col. Bennett H.
Young, J. W. Sline, J. H. Pierson, H. V. Loving, of Louisville; John Bennett, of Richmond; B. M. Amett, of Nicholasville; J. J. Ramsey, of Shelbyville, and W. B. Smith, of Richmond. The committee will report to an adjourned meeting

On Wednesday
crop report appeared, showing much
lower average
condition than had l)cen calculated upon, and momentarily there was an advance of 11
12 points; but before the close it had nearly all disappeared, no actual investing demand being attracted.
Yes'erday there was a free
selling our of lont; c itton under advices by cable statin:.c that
great unea-iness prevailed ac Munches er regarding the very
low price of silver and the pro'>able depresaini; eSect upon
exchange with IndiH, our mirket declining 14 points, the
weakness assisted by better crop accoiint-i. To-day the feeling i^ a trifle steadier with small recovery on price owing to
absence of selling orders and vome desire to secure profit on the
part of shorts. 0)tton on ihesp )t has been moderately active
lor both consumption and export, prices declining J^a. and
closing at ^Mc. for middling uplands.
The total siiles for forward .ieli very for the week are 578,700
bales. For iiume<liat« delivery the total sales foot up this week
5,083 bales, including 1,821 for export, l.o61 for consumption
for speculation, ana 1,60*1 on contract. Of the above
bales were to arrive. The following are the official quotations

There has been a moderate degree of activity to the speculation in wheat, and early in the week prices advanced on unfavorable crop advices from the spring crop districts, BDd in
sympathy with the rise in corn. Thursday the market opened
hinher on the report of the Government Agricultural Bureau
which is taken to indicate a crop of about 810,000,000 bushels,
or leas than has generally been expected, but later in the day
weak foreign advices caused a decline.

Indian corn futures have been active and in the early part
week prices advanced rapidly on reporn of serious
damage to the crop by hot, dry weather. Later, however,
needed rains were reported to hive fallen and this caused
»ome decline; but yesterday the market started up again on
a small crop estimate, the total yield of the country being
pi iced at 1,800,000,000 bushels.
The spot market has continued quiet, as buyers are not disposed to invest at present
prices.

somewhat against buyers in 8-4 and 7-8 makes. Cambrics,
bleached and dyed, converted from print cloths are also very
firmly held. The export demand for sheetings and drills does
not expand for Asiatic markets, exporters' bids being below
current market values. A steady trade is, however, doing
with South America. Southern plaids have been quiet this
week, as have denims, ticks, checks and other colored cottons but leading makes of these are mostly well under orders.
In other varieties of cottons, .such as wide sheetings,
cotton flannels, silesias, &c., the situation is unchanged.
Prints are firm all round, the Hamilton and Simpson fancies
having been brought up to the 63>^c. line during the week.

AGRIC0LTUBAL DEPARTMENT'S AUGUST REPORT. —The report of the Department of Agriculture for August 1 respecting
cereal crops was issued on August 10, as follows
:
The crop returns of the Department of Agriculture show a alight
tmprovement in the sonditlou of corn, raising the monthly average
from 81'1 in July to 82-5 in August. In only four years since the initiation of crop reporting has there been a lower August condition. In
the year of worst failure— 1881— it was 79, declinlmg to 66 in October;
In 1890 it was 7SS, dedining to 70«in October; In August 1886 it was
e0-7,audin 1887 it was 80 5, declining later only In the latter year. A
slight improreineutla Indicated in the States north of the Ohio and a
freater advance in the States West of the Mississippi Elver, except
ansas and Nebraska. Ciondition is high In nearly all the Southern
States nearly the same as in July In the breadth west of the Mississippi liigher in the lower States of the Atlantic Coast, and slightly
lower in Alabama and Mississippi. A email decline Is seen lu the
Middle States, except New York, and also in the Eastern States, though
In both of these divisions the average is higher than In the West. The
following averages of principal States are given ; New York, 90 Pennylvania, 86; Virginia, 90; Georgia, 97; Texas, 94; Tennessee, 9:3 ;
Ohio, 81
Indiana, 74 ; Illinois, 73 Iowa, 79 ; Missouri, 83 Kansas,
81 ; Nebraska, 80. Most correspondents indicate a present tendency to
further iinprovenient. The returns relating to spring wheat are
lower, declining during the month from a general average of 90'9 to
87-8. The reduction is from 90 to 86 in Wisconsin, 90 to 87 in Minnesota and 90 to 85 in North Dakota. There has been a slight advance
in South Dakota and Nebraska, with no change in Iowa. In the mountain States condition Is generally high. In Washington a decline is
reported from 80 to 78, as a result of the blighting heat, and in Oregon
from 91 to 76. Condition of other crop averages are as follows
Spring rye, 89'8, instead of 92-7 in Julv ; oat9,86'2, a fall of one point;
barley, 91'1, instead of 92 ; huckwheat acreage, 101'3 condition,

Domestic Woolens.— There has been a good duplicating
demand for heavy-weight woolens for men's wear during thf
week notwithstanding the very large business of the preceding month. Buyers have shown decided anxiety to secur*
supplies, and a number of instances are noted where they have
paid full prices for goods they had some time ago returned as
imperfect. For spring makes of woolen and worsted trouserings and suitings liberal orders have beeu booked. Lowpriced lines are still selling well, but there has been a more
pronounced movement towards the higher ranges of fine
worsteds. Heavy overcoatings are moving freely on back
orders with a good current request. Cloakings in both plain
and fancy makes are generally well sold ahead. Cotton mixtures, cotton- backed worsteds and cotton- warp cassimeres
continue quiet. Woolen and worsted dress goods have been
in more general duplicating request, local and Western jobbers
placing some free orders. Dress goods are in an excellent
position, being sold ahead at first hands with a rapid distribu17" For Giber tables nsnallv given here see page ^245<
