THE SILVER BILL n WALL STREET
The possibility of the passage Of the
Bland Silver Bill, an. payment Of
United States bonds and duties in sill

est in Wall street. One class Of hnan-
ciers believed that if the Silver Bill
should pass gold would advance 10 or
81 Per cent and Government btnds
would decline in proportion. while
another conservative class believe that
both gold and bonds would fuctate
only very small fraction. The latter
class believe the bill would not becrne
law and consequently there was more
apprehension than WAS necessary.

EUROPEAN WHEAT MARKET-Cheap
food is the great desideratum of British
manufacturers and British statesmen
The broad distinction between Great
Britain and the United States is that
one imports the food necessary to sus-
tain its 'oiiing millions, and the other
exports It's surplus. All classes of
Great Britain are therefore concerned
IN obtaining the nations breadsuffs and
other provisions at the lowest possible
figures On the contrary, the food pro-
ducers Of America are anxious TO sell
their wheat, their bacon and their
cheese at the highest rates The great
problem of British statesmen and econ
omists Is now to keep the food markets
down 10 the lowest notch. Dear bread
engeuders riots AID discomfort and fos-
tiers emigration. To manufacturers it
means increased wages and greater
difficulty III competing with other coun-
tries in the mstlets Of the world We
have made these remarks As an aid to

THE SILVER MIDDLE.

A great deal Of Inconvenience is
occasioned by the status Of the silver
question. An attempt has been made
to read the new trade dollars ont Of
circulation, except at a discount Of 10
per cent. An exchange states that
the leading business men Of Astoria
gave notice that, after July DIST,
they would not receive silver half
dollars in sums over s. except a 3 I
per cent. discount, and trade dollars
in any sums except at 10 per cent.
discount.
The reason Of this discrimination
against the trade dollars, notwith-
standing their greater intrinsic value
than the fractional pieces proper
tionall,y may he 10 discourage their
inordinate coinage on private account
for home circulation, or because Oh "a
report that some coined of the Car
son Branch Mint sometime ago. were
found to fall short OF the prescrib-
cd standard weight or purity; or
the higher rate Of the fractions may
bc due TO the fact that they arc by
law legal tender to the amount If
five dollars, though it is held under
Section 1913 Of the revised code of
the United States, that the trade doll
lar is as much a legal tender as the
others, as il is included in the list 0f
coins which it is declared shall b.
legal tender to the amount al tive
dollars. The weight If the trade
dollar is 40 grains, while the weight
of two halves (l23 grams counting
15.433 grains TO the gram, Is only
385.S25 grains.

hardship aud great injustice to all

business men whose receipts mostly
come in small payments. The silver
bill now under consideration by Con-
gress proposes to make silver a legal
tender for twenty dollars. This
would help the matter by So much,
if that great and slow moving body
ever get ready to act upon It.
Meanwhile business suffers b. the

declined to allow sufficient grease for
