BIG INCREASE EXPECTED.

Yesterdays dispatches, from
Washington, have this to say of the
anticipated increase in treasury re-
ceipts:
Treasury officials, at Washington,
anticipate a very great increase in
the receipts from internal revenue
sources within the next ten days in
case the president allows the tariff
to become law by withholding his
signature. At Pekin, ILL.,. the re-
ceipts yesterday reached $240, 900
and in the district of Maryland they
amounted to $4,000. Large am
cunts of whisky and spirits at all
the great distilleries have been re-
guaged at the request of owners
and as this cannot be reguaged
again it is assumed that practically
all of it will be withdrawn if posi-
Bile, before the bill becomes a law.
During the next ten days the inter
nal revenue receipts are expected
to reach 81, 500, 600 day. The GUS
toms officials Of the treasury ex-
pect also a marked increase in Gus
toms receipts from now on and par
ticularly during the next month or
so. Large quantities of goods now
held in bonded warehouses in Bos-
ton, New York and other large sea-
port cities, will be withdrawn as
soon as possible after the bill be
comes a law to meet the demands
of the fall trade. Dry goods and
furnishing goods and notions of all
kinds will furnish a large item in
these Withdrawals. The reduction
of SOC per pound in the duty on CT
CARS is expected to stimulate trade
to some extent in that direction.
The administration of the new act
will remain practically unchanged
in all it's details. The administra-
tive features Of the House bill were
stricken out in the Senate, thus
leaving the administrative act Of
June 10, 1890 in full force, except

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.
Cotton in a Most Excellent Condition,
While the Corn Crop Ex-
ceeds the Average.

The National Weather Bureau in
its review of the weather crop con-
ditions for the week ending August
18th, issues the following bulletin
from Washington, d. c.;
On the Pacific coast in the pla-
teau regions, West Gulf states and
on the Atlantic coast from Virginia
northward except in extreme south
western New England the week
ending August IA has been cooler
than usual From the upper Mis-
souri, and middle Rocky Mountain
slope eastward to the south Allan
tic coast, including the central val
leys and lake region, the week was
warmer than usual,
While more than the usual amount
of rain fell during the week over
considerable portion of the South
ern states and over limited areas in
the Ohio, upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys, there has been less
than the usual amount over much
of the greater portion of the coun-
try. Exceptionally heavy rains fell
in some portions of Arkansas, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Texas and CO.
pious showers occurred over por-
tons of Ohio, Indiana, and on the
middle Atlantic coast, but over ex-
tensive areas including Kansas,
portions of Nebraska, Missouri and
Western Tennessee there was no
appreciate rainfall during the
week. Drought has been relieved
over greater portion of Iowa and
in portions of South Dakota, South
ern Wisconsin and Northern Hi
nois, but continues in Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri, Southern Illinois,
Northern Wisconsin, Michigan,
West Virginia, New York, New
Jersey and in portions of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Askansas, besides
the damaged effects on crops in the
states named, blowing for fall seed
ing is being retarted
Recent rains have benefited corn
in Minnesota and in portions of
Ohio, but in Nebraska, Iowa and
South Dakota the greater part of
the crop has been permanently in
iured. Unfavorable reports are al
so received from Kansas, where
corn is being generally cut to save
fodder. In the Southern states,
however, except in Kentucky, where
the crop is threatened in some To-
calities, the corn crop is reported
to be in excellent condition and an
unusually heavy yield in that sec
ton is now practically assured.
Heavy local rains have caused in
jury to cotton in portions of the
Carolinas and Florida, and some
injury has resulted from blight,
rust and boil worms in Mississippi,
but upon the whole the reports as
to the cotton crop continue favora-
BILE. Picking has begun in Florida
and Alabama and continues in Cen
trail and Southern Texas.
