JOhn thompson, presiuent Ot tnc
Chase National Bank, New York, is the
only New York City banker that favors
the free coinage Of silver. When
the present National bank system was
introduced he was the only banker for
a long time who advocated or adopted
it. He has the best financial record of
any banker in the Empire state, and
his views ON currency have more
weight and have been more generally
adopted than those Of any other finan-
cier. In u recent interview on the
question OF free coinage Of silver, Mr..
Thompson expressed himself as fol-
lows:
| stand alone in this matter among the
national bank officers of this city, but it is
not the first time | have stood alone on
financial questions. When ! was working
tooth and nail to get our present national
bank system established, stood alone.
There was not another banker in New York
who would have anything to do with it,
Again, when I organized the First National
Bank of New York, no one would touch
the stock, and was forced to take II all in
my own family. Myself and my two sons
and my son-in-law held the stock and We
brought in one outsider with ten shares to
give us the five directors necessary to OIgan-
ize. So it YVES when we issued the first
national bank nOte-again | stood alone.
The New York clearing house held big
meeting to talk over the matter. and after q
full discussion decided to have nothing to
do with such money. They have changed
their minds since then.
On this silver question, | contend that
neither precious metal can be thrown into
mere merchandise, instead OF being con-
tinued as money metal, without causing
stagnation, depression, and finally none
tary revolution doubling the purchasing
power of the mOnetized metal, aud causing
a corresponding cheapening of all property
including silver, and bringing debtors as a
general thing to bankruptcy. II is indispu-
table that the gold output Of the world is
diminishing. My views are that there will
be desperate international effort for the

tain specie payments When the silver Ol
of the world is degraded to mere merchan.
disc, one half the precious metal founda-
ton for sustaining specie payments disap.
pears and the idea that the other half will
be adequate is preposterOus."
"Do you think that any other New York
bankers will eventually come to your view,
ON the subject?''
"They can't helpit. Manifest destiny is
on my side. The idea that when this come
there will be financial trouble is perfectly
preposterous, for the banks will have the
gold to count in their resources and have
the silver certificates to use over their count
ers. This may be termed al initiation and
a warding off of panic, whereas being re-
stricted to the single gold standard will
quite likely bring on u stringency and
make trOublous times"
"Do you favor free coinage of silver"
Il do. emphatically. and | as emphati
cally favor the issue of silver notes in small
denominations against silver deposited in
the treasury so that no American may bt
compelled to carry coin, whether gold oI

There were also shipped by the
Canadian Pacific 6,4os head Of Mon
tana cattle, and from Dickinson, Da-
kota, 6,s,6 head, of which a large
proportion were from Montana. 1t is
thus proved that the cattle shipments
from Billings alone almost equal the
aggregate from all the other named
Montana points. These figures must
convince the most prejudiced that
Billings is the natural and actual trade
centre and chief shipping point on the
ranges.-t;azette.
1t was our belief that Billings is
the largest cattle shipping point in
Montana, but we did not expect to see
it nearly equal all other places COM
bined.. Billings is the natural and
most convenient shipping point for
the immense grazing country lying to
the north OF her er-embracing Fergus
county, the chief live stock county of
Montana. The figures for 1886, will
show remarkable increase in the
shipments from Billings, and with such
showing as they now make it ought
to arouse them to the necessity out
OF business policy, if nothing more-to
provide the best of shipping facilities,
the lack of which there is now some
complaint.

CORN AND WHEAT.
September Report of tho Department
Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-The Sept. report
of the department of agriculture shows bet
ter yield of spring wheat than was expected a
month ago. The Improvement is in the north
ern belt of Wisconsin, Missouri and Dakota. In
Nebraska there has been a decline. In Iowa
little change, the general average is 81, an in
crease of four points. The average yield Of
crops so far as results Of the tbreshing are re-
ported exceed IL bushels, and many reach liz
bushels per acre. Threshing of winter wheat
in the Ohio valley gives better return than
was expected at harvest, and there was some
improvement in Missouri and Kansas In the
middle and eastern states per cents of July are
not materially changed. In the south har-
vest was materially disappointing, and rain in
jured the product in shock. Returns indicate
an average yield Of about 1251 bushels pei
acre.
The entire wheat product will apparently
exceed that Of last year by so or 90 million
bushels. The exact determination of the area
harvested and the result of threshing are east
ly equivalent of variation of at least two
points. Corn has declined from 81 in August
to a. In States of principal production the
status IS as follows: Kentucky from 81 in
August to 80 in September; Ohio, IS to SO;
Michigan, 80 in both returns; Indiana, 80 to
%; Illinois declines from n to ~; Missouri
from rs to 60; Kansas, 70 to e.; Nebraska, 70
to 6S; Iowa, 70 to 81, loss west Of Indiana
caused by drought. In South Atlantic States
there has been no improvement on gulf coast
slight improvement, except in Texas where
drought has reduced condition. Present crop
prospect with no further decline Is IA per cent
worse than last year and indicates over 81
bushels per acre, or nearly 10000, 900 bushels
The number of fattenng hogs is less by s tx
per cent and there is some reduction in the
average weight.
