FREE COINAGE is CERTAIN

Subsidy Bill Z der Discussion
In the HOuse-Notes.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. S.-The Star says
there seems to be little doubt hat the free
coinage bill will pass the senate when the
vote is reached, and it is gaining friends
in the house. Mr.. Reed is opposed TO the
bill but may not adopt a radical course TO
prevent its coming to a vote when it
reaches the house. When during asst ses-
sion he yielded to the will OF the house on
the question of his right to refer a bill
then, too, a silver bill-to a committee
without laying it before the house, he was
stopped from following q course now that
would deprive the house, il a majority de-
sire it, from voting on any bill coming
from the senate. When the silver bill
came to the house from the senate last
session Mr.. Reed referred it to the COM
mittee on coinage without first getting the
consent of the house. There was then
such a fuss made aboutit that the bill was
brought back into the house again and
then formally received. By this action
was established the right of the house to
decide whether a senate bill shall be sent
to committee or be acted on at once. 1t
would be difficult, therefore, for Mr.. Reed
now to refuse to let the house have posses
sion OF the silver bill when it m from
the senate and it is not certain that it
would be referred TO the committee. 1t,
therefore, appears possible that President
Harrison may be called upon to pass
Judgment upon a free coinage bill.

WHEAT is LOOKING WELL.
Better Than For Two Years Past, Though
Last Years Crop Was Poor.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The estimates of
the products OF corn, wheat and oats OF
1890 as compiled by the statistician of the
department of agriculture, makes corn az
gregate l,4S9,970,OO0 bushels wheat, $780,
262,O 900 bushels; oats, 523,621 900 bushels.
Thu area of corn, which was slightly in
creased in planting, was reduced by the
utter failure and abandonment of more
than six million acres. The area har-
vested was II $40, 76S acres. The average
yield per acre was 20.7 bushels and the
supply for consumption per head OF popu-
lation is % bushels, or IL bushels less
than last year. The rate of yield was
lower in 1887 and 1881, years of very severe
drought.
The aggregate wheat acreage is 36,0S7,-
154, nearly the same as in 1879, and the
yield per acre Ill bushels. These are
somewhatlower than usual, the weight OF
which will be given in the March report.
Past records have shown that the annual
difference in weight of the crop is not
often more than a pound above or below
the average weight for a series of years,
the lowest for seven years being 56.5 in
1888 and the highest $50 in 1887. The
yield per acre is the same az 1888, when
the proiuct was nearly4l6 900 1000 bushels,
with two exceptions the lowest rate dur
ing the past decade. The area in oats was
26,41l, 1863 acres, and the Weld per acre was
1913 bushels. This is only "A per cent. OF
the average of ten years past, which
was 26.6 bushels and the smallest rate OF
yield ever reported bv this office.
The December condition OF growing
wheat is reported at 9S.4, and of rye 80.
This is better than December returns for
two years past. Along the Atlantic coast
a slight depreciation is noted as the result
of the excess of moisture in some locali-
ties, making planting late and giving
rather small growth before the advent OF
freezing weather. In the Ohio valley the
season was generally favorable for seeding
and early growth, and the plant entered
winter quarters in a promising condition.
Some damage was done by the Hessian
fly. especially in early sown fields. Con-
dition in Missouri and Kansas was varia-

By the Dropping of a Gage In a California
Mine.
San ANDREAs, Cal, Jan. 6.-An accident
occurred about noon in the north shaft of
the Utica mine at Angels camp, which re-
suited in the death of ten or twelve men.
The skip" with the miners aboard was
coming up for dinner. Then within 150
feet of the top of the shaft the cable parted
at the reel, letting the inen, Skip" and 100
feet of cable fall into the stump at the bot
tom of the shaft, a distance of 400 feet.
The names of the killed are:

Four of these are married and have
families. The bodies presented a sicken-
ing sight, being fearfulIy mutilated, one
being found without any head and another
with half the body and lower limbs. The
stump contained fourteen feet of water.
Three bodies have already been recovered,
and are recognized as those OF Joe Carter.

is but little over a year ago that a cave-in
occurred in the same mine, burying six
teen men, and the slow work of recover
ing their bodies had nearby been accom-
plished when this second disaster took
pace.

LESS HOPEFUL.
Dunn Regards the Business Outlook with
Some Apprehension.

NEW YORK, Jan. Or. c. Dunn & Cos
weekly review of trade says: THE wear
opens with the expected improvement in
the money market and in collections re-
sulting from annual disbursements which
have been larger than usual. The hope
full feeling in most branches OF trade con-
tinues also and the railroad ourlook is i'm
proved. 1t is becoming clearer every day
that n great obstacle to prosperity, is
the fear that debasement of the dollar
may produce violent contraction, with.
drawal OF foreign investment, collapse
of credits and a disaster which
will be felt by every branch of trade and
industry. The iron and steel manufacture
has been so rapidly extended that shrink
age of credits has forced sales, in many
cases, at prices below cost. On the whole,
the prospect is considered less bright than
it has been for many years in this indus
try. In the cotton manufacture, also, the
shrinkage of credits has severely strained
many concerns, and prices of goods have
been very low, but further reductions
have been made during the past week in
the bleached cottons. The wooden manu-
facture is doing fairly, though extending
but moderately, and buying wool with
caution. In the boot and shoe manufac-
ture the outlook is regarded as especially
favorable.
Reports OF trade from different cities
are still much influenced by reviews of
last years great business, but generally in
dictate a large volume of traffic in progress
for the season, with marked improvements
since the monetary pressure abated. Bos-

THE IRON
An Important Meeting to Settle Upon a
Basis.

0POA -
Basis.
PITTsBURG, Jan. IO.-A committee of the
Amalgamated association of iron and steel
workers to inquire into the ACCESSIBILITY of
changing the basis of the scale from bar
iron to some other grade or quality, met
at the association headquarters in this
city at 10 o'clock this morning. Bar iron
has been the basis for a good many years,
and the question of changing from that
specially to some other form, though for
mally discussed, had not been acted upon
by any convention until last year. Bar
iron is not a circumstance in the volume
of iron and steel made in other shapes
and the basis Is not regarded as an average
one. Skelp iron is made in large quanti-
ties and by some is regarded as a fair
basis. Sheet iron is another specially
upon which many would like to see the
scale based. The committee has
been engaged for the last
two or three weeks gather
ing information on the actual selling price
OF the various kinds of iron and steel and
comparison will be made of these figures,
and 1t will be ascertained il the present
calculation permits of any manipulation
in favor of the firms.
Prices in all branches of the market
have been showed down to almost cost, and
it is thought by the most conservative
members of the association that no advan-
tage would be gained by making the
change. The latest market report shows
iron TO be selling at from $3.50 to SIS,
which is about as healthy a condition as
that product has been in for some time,
while the market for manufactured iron is
in an uneasy state. The price of steel bill
lets is the lowest on record at present, and
the steel rail business is in an unsatisfac-

The b ,rbed-wire Trust.

WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. l0.-The Wash
burn & Moen company say with reference
to the Chicago despatch of yesterday in
regard to a b~arbed-wire trust: Some of
our licensees have been strongly inclined
to make an arrangement under which
they could control our patents, having
reference to barbed wire and the meeting
in Chicago referred to was undoubtedly
for the purpose of consulting upon the
best means for accomplishing that end.
We don't understand that the arrange
ment implies that we are to be associated
with them nor that they contemplate a
substantial advance in the price of barbed
wire. In our judgment, if what they have
ATTEMPTED is accomplished. it will tend TO
steady the market for this particular arti-
Gle so that dealers and consumers will feel
that there is less risk in investing their
money in it and carrying it in stock like
other staple goods, which they lately have
not felt like doing in view of the constant
liability OF change in the price put upon

Consumer. VIII Suffer, OF Course.

CHICAGO, Jan. All the big barbed
wire manufacturers of the United States
are said to have been represented at to-
days session of the private conference in
progress at the Wellington hotel. For a
long time anumber of the firms that make
barb wire have been in litigation
with the Washburn-Moen company
which controls nearly all the
patents covering the barb wire devices.
This continued and costly litigation, it is
reported, has at last resulted in the sur
render of the individual companies, and
the present meeting is to make a combina-
ton OF all the firms, including the Wa-h-

the terms of agreement will be concluded

of patents will dictate the terms, and the
increased expense to the mills will, 1t is
said, come out of the consumers.
