STANDARD SILVER DOLLARS.
A Gradual Decrease of the Silver Bal
ance Advocated.

a A6l OSCAo6G0 Va SAlC O%AN A1eAA-
snce Advocated.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ia statement pre-
pared at the treasury department shows
that the total amount OF standard silver
dollars in the treasury against which certif-
Gates may be issued is $5,l76,171. or the
total coinage of 341, $50 silver dollars,
there is in the treasury 2S2, ,S29 333. against
which there is in circulation S277 ,753, 1862 of
certificates. The amount of standard dollars
in circulation is $5S, 370, ,317, and the amount
of silver certificates in the treasury
is 1859, ,205. A gradual decrease
of the silver balance is being urged upon
the administration as an argument in favor
Of an increase in the coinage of silver
dollars to the maximum limit Of $4, 000, 900
per month. Under the present system the
minimum limit of 81, 100000 only is coined.
NOT DISCUSSED BY THE CABINET.
1t was rumored that the cabinet meeting
to-day considered the proposition to increase
the coinage of silver dollars, but Secretary
Wi1dom said this afternoon that there was
no foundation whatever for the rumor, as
the silver question had not even been men
toned at the meeting. 1t is explained by
another official Of the department that
tue decrease in the silver, balance was due to
the recent heavy demand for notes Of small
denominations for use in the regular fall
trade, but that as this demand has been
fully met, there is now every reason to ex-
pect reaction, which will naturally
strengthen the silver balance.

BUSINESS BOOMING.
R. q. Dun g. Co.'S Report OF Trade for
the Past Week.

the Past Week.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1L-R. G. Dun g. Co.'S
review of trade for the past week says:
The government crop report was very
encouraging, but the loss of gold by the
great foreign banks-oyer Sl,lO0,OO0 by
England S4,O0G, 900 by Germany, and
81, 200. 900 by France-was large enough to
increase the appreheusions Of money press
ure. Large shipments went from London to
Brazil and Egypt. These two opposing in
fuences ruled the markets during the week.
The crops are larger. and business heavy,
and the commercial outlook most fav orable,
but money is comparatively clio Q, and there
is possibility that it may be closer yet.
OUTWARD MOVEMENT OF PRODUCTS.
The outward movement of products is
large, the exports from New York for the
two weeks exceeding last years by 1877 per
cent, while the increase in imports is about
per cent. Large foreign investments of
capital in American industrial enterprises
are reported, and of late no considerable
foreign selling of securities. But the move
ment Of mon+y to the interior continues
large. the treasury alone forwarding $685.
600 on Thursday. Reports do not indicate
increasing pressure in the interior markets,
for, though the demand is active at all cities
reporting, the supply at nearly all is ample.
There is a more confident feeling, and the
treasury during the past week has made
considerable purchases of bonds, ID in all
disbursed 81, 100, 900 more than it has taken
in.
TRADES VOLUME INCREASING.
The volume of trade is increasing at
nearly all interior points reporting, and this
involves larger demand for money. The
bank clearings last week were 216 per cent
larOar fhaT rf at Navy
cent smaller at Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago, the decrease being large at Chicago
but IL per cent. larger at all other cities,
taken together. This increase, at points
where speculative activity has lost its influ-
ence, indicates a greater volume of legiti-
mate business than has ever been recorded
at this season in any previous year, and
heavy railroad earnings, 10 per cent. above
last year for September, tell the same story.
THE GREAT INDUSTRIES.
The great industries are making progress.
Several more furnaces of the largest size
nave gone into blast since Oct. l. and the
weekly output on that date was over l50.-
600 tons against 130, 900 tons a year ago, an
increase of AZ per ceht. in September, and
1513 per cent. for the year. In spite of this
enormous production, prices are not
only sustained by the consumption,
but are slightly advanced, though
southern iron is still sold here below SIT for
No. l, while $17 25 to s18 so is quoted for
northern. Bar iron is in better de uand
structural and plate works are crowded,
and the sales Of rails within ten days have
reached 100000 tons, many large Companies
having made their annual contracts for re-
newals of track. The quotations at the
eastern mills are now $50 to SS2.

country during the last week number for

total OF 2l4 against 206 last week.

ATLANTA'S STRIKE.
The Yardmeu Still Out and No New
Men in Their Places.


ATLANTA, GA, Oct 1.-THE strike
among the yardmen of the Central rail-
road, which was inaugurated last night, is
still maintained, though efforts are being
made to adjust the differences between the
employers and employees. The latter de-
mand an increase OF pay, which they to-day
declared must be forthcoming before they
would return to work. The yard con-
ductors demand So SO Instead of So
per day, and the couplers 81 IS instead OF
81 %. New men were put on this morning,
but after few hours work they joined the
strikers. The road Is reported to have
made an attempt to induce negroes to take
the places of the yardmen, but without
success, owing to the awe with which the
former regard the strikers.
ENGINEERS HELP THEM.
The engineers refused to take out trains
made up by negroes. The strikers now
muster about thirty-three men, but have
shown no disposition toward violence.
While hanging about the yards to-day they
submitted to the police sent to disperse
them with the utmost good humor. 1t is
rumored that they will be joined by the
yardmen Of the Western and Atlantic road,
whose pay is no better than their own, and
there Is reason to believe that the strikers
expect ectre-enforcements from the employees of
that road. Should daylight revive their
confidence, the negroes may go to work in
the Central yards in the morning.

that otherwise the witnesses would

that the na mes had been given Of persons
