The demand Of the silver men. as one Of
their spokesmen at st. Louis explained It'll
for flaws which will give to the people the
privilege Of coming their silver as freely
as they coin their gold" The coming of
gold under exciting laws sdds nothing 10
its worth; 10 only Il g IL for circulation as
money. The gold coins Of the United
States 90 not derive the slightest part of
their value from the stamp Of the Gov
erame4t American gold coin has the
same va'ue 20 foreign countries a. at
home ], eor.i not be st.cled by the
anniailldon Of the government, if tina.
were possible The gold dollar may be
destroyed as a coin snd yet will retain its
value e The bullion is fully preserved.
Before the s'-calied demonstration of
silver the United States Mint charged the
holders Of standard gold bullion who de-
sized TO convsrtinto coin one-fith of one
per csnium, but this was abolished by the
resumption set Of 1915, which provided
no charge should be made for that ser
vice. But ss recasds silver bullion it
Is now proposed 70 allow owners
to convert a quantity worth y
cents into dollars, which are to be a legal
tender for tie payment Of an debts, public
ard private, snd % authorize the issue Of
these dollars without any limitation az fast
as they can he miuted. Apart from the
inevitable consequences Of such q measure,
it is clssr that these conditions for the
coinage Of silver dollars would be very
different from those that govern the mint
INK of gold dollars While The silver men
are sb.e 10 poiat 10 .he fact that the an.
hc.pato-s Of the opponents Of the silver
act Of ls7S as regards the consequences
have 40. been reslz.d, il is also true that
the mintirg of more than 1000, 600
standard dollars uuders that law has no
Increased the value Of silver bnllion In
1878 tie market value of the silver con-
tanned 10 the standard dollar was go cents;
tits now - cents. This fact is sufficient
20 discredit the prediction that q largely
increased silver coinage would bring upthe
value of the bullion TO what it was before
silver began to dspreciate. The strength
Of this new silver movement and the plain
fact that it is dangerous to the financial
system Of the government the public
credit sud She business interests of the
country should be fully understood snd
appreciated
Az the same tine The dollars of our
dsilies" is what vs w,nt Bat there is
no necessity for the unlimited coinsge of
silver ss proposed. Nobody is Kicking"
for it except the owners of the silver
mines The present law providing that

1000 600. of silver shall be coined in a
month, appears TO he ample enough to
cover an tine necessities If the situation.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Jan. I2.-The stock
market to-day was more active than
usual of late, and the improvement in
business went hand III hand with a strong
tone which became very pronounced
toward the close and carried prices up
materially even in short time. The
news of the day was almost all of a favor
able character, and the bank statement
showing almost unprecedented gains to
the banks was factor in late dealings
when most of the marked strength
of the day was shown. London and the
continent were both liberal purchasers of
their specialties, particularly at the open
ing, and after that time was very fair
local business, sufficient to keep prices
moving steadily toward a higher range.
All classes of stocks felt the stimulous of
the more coffdent tone which invaded
speculation, although grangers and trunk
lines were the most and prominent in the
upward movement.
Railroad bonds showed about the usual
amount of animation this morning.
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and Texas
and Pacific Is were the most active
bonds. The tone of the market contin-
ued firm to strong, but the improvement
in quotations was most marked in the
active issues, the gains among the others
being confined to small fractions through
out the list.
Government bonds were dull and
steady.
Stade bonds were dull and featureless.

In 1858 there were ,05l 1897 acres of
cotton under cultivation in Egypt, which
was great increase over preceding
years.
Persian wool used to find its way to the
United States from Liverpool and Mar
settles, but for the two past years some
direct shipments have also been made
from Bussorah that is TO say with through
bills of lading transshipped in England
and Marseilles, and last year such ship
ments considerably increased; about 5000
bales having been consigned to America,
of which the steamer Iberia carried some
direct. The wool which is now being
sent to America has been previously sold
at Marseilles and London for delivery in
America with through bills of lading.
In Havana the peculiar commercial
phenomenon has been witnessed of bread
selling for less than the wheat producing
countries of America and Europe, al
though great deal of wheat is exported
from these countries to Havana. This
was brought about by the substitution of
free for slave labor in that branch of in
dustry and by the depreciation of paper
currency Ill comparison with gold.
The total yield of winter wheat in Mis-
souri, last year was 10 OPS, 52S bushels;
average yield per acre, ID 8 bushels; the
total yield of corn was PIC 1922 1874
bushels; average per acre, 81 Z bushels;
total yield of oats, 40 ,025, 529 bushels;
average per acre, 81 Z bushels; total
yield of tobacco, IL 1907 ,0Ql pounds, ay-
erage per acre, 500 pounds, remarkable
heavy yield; of Irish potatoes, S ,l78 1868
bushels were produced, the average yield
per acre being siXty-seven bushels.
A recent number of the Echo Agricole
of Paris estimates the wheat crop of the
world for the year 1888 at l ,977 500 900
bushels, of which the imports in various
countries will be $40 ,240 200 bushels and
the exports 30S ia 600. Of exporting
countries, the United States is credited
with 80 900 200 bushes; Russia with
100 900, 900; India with 81 900 900; the
Argentine Republic and Chill with II, >
600 900; and Australia with y 900 200.
Great Britain, it is estimated, win import
15l 900 900 bushels and France SO ,000,-
OO0 The deficit in these estimates of the
knowing crops-the difference, in
fact, between the exports and imports
is about 81 800 200 bushels. This is the
French estimate An English estimate
puts it at ~ 900 900. Sir J. B. Lawes,
in recent publication gives the follow
ing figures: Population of Great Britain,
81, III 900, annual consumption of
wheat, 213, 4O7 200 bushels; crop,
II $50 ZOO bushels; seed for 2, 1858 600
acres 5 1926 600 bushels. Deduct
ing the amount required for
seed from the aggregate crop,
and deducting this from the aggregate
consumption and there remains l47 49,
900 bushels as the import, which is within
8 600 900 of the estimate of the Echo
Agricole. The French journal places the
wheat crop of the world at about Sc ,000,-
600 bushels less than the returns for 1887,
and about 80 900 900 bushels below that
of 1886 and 1886
