MORE REVENUE NEEDED
The Administration Will Have to Ask for
Additional Taxation.
No Specific Recommended lions Likely
to BE Made, but Only the Gem
eral Necessity Pointed Out.

The administration has about abandoned
all hope of being able to avoid petition to
Congress for more revenue. For the past
two months the President and Secretary of
the Treasury, have been figuring out a way
to escape the necessity of such an
appeal and confne the recommended
tions to financial legislation. arguing
that the tariff legislation has moth
ing to do with the deficiency of the revenue.
1t is well understood that the desire of the
President is that the proposition for in
creased taxation shall come from the re-
publicans a counter to the suggestion
that the whole trouble can be cured by the
retirement of greenbacks and firm estab-
lishment of the gold standard, which Mr..
Cleveland would lay down.
Need of Additional Taxation Confessed
1t has become apparent that the situation
will not admit of the revenue question being
ignored. and in connection with the con-
tent.on that the trouble lies solely with the
financial question. there will have to be a
provided 1t is expected that an effort will
be made to prove that primarily the green
backs and silver are responsible for the
falling off of the internal revenue and Gus
toms receipts, but the need of additional
taxation will have to be confessed 1t will
be contended that the falling off in the
enues from whisky and sugar, which was
most conspicuous, was due to hard times,
and that, even with the overthrow of the
income tax, the revenue would have been
sufficient had business been normal and
the gold standard fully established.
No Specific Recommend lions.
When it comes to the aueslioE of recon-
mendirg a source of revenue, the members
of the administration are seriously embar-
raised. They are afraid of internal
revenue tax, and at the same time
want to appear consistent in antag-
cnism to protection. The opinion is
expressed that specific recommendations
will he avoided. ard that the necessity for
more revenue will be pointed out, with the
very general suggestion that it be provided
ir. such manner as to be least burdensome
to the consumers and not fall upon the nee
eSsarieS of life.

last nights closing figures, and held well

London cables reported further depression

ing unaccompanied by panic symptoms.
was not seriously considered as a factor in
local Transactions
TIE most important development of the
day was the reported increase of more
than three millions in last weeks export
trade. This fact coupled with multiply
ing eviderces of an influx of foreign CAPT
tai, IS sure to be an important element in
estimating stock values in the near future.
Any courageous attempt to advance prices
on the current supply of speculative ma
terial would, without doubt, be subStan-
tai y rewarded, as the preponderance OF
opt mistic news is generally admitted.
The coal situation has again taken on a
promising aspect. rates showing an I'M
m;stakable tendency toward Improvement.
1t is practically certain that substantial
advances will be announced during the
present week, and that subsequent addi-
tons will be made from time to time 'lur-
ing the balance of the season. The combi-
nation of forces so mysteriously limited at

the coal shares is still i'll allegiance, but
its accomplishment is still considered as
being among the desirable probabilities.
Operators active in the group of Sellers
which yesterday depressed the price Of
Tennessee Coal and Iron, were among the
most urgent buyers of these shares this
morning, an advance of one per cent fol-
lowing in consequence.
more careful examination of the COM
pany's earnings for last month was in a
great measure responsible for the change
in sentiment. The lull in the iron trade
has not extended to this property, and a
profitable business is seemingly assured.
Sugar sold down from steady opening
on the revival Of arguments based on the
continued Withholding of inside support.
The trading of the last hour was dull and
void of significance. The announcement
that the officials of Delaware and Hudson
bad advanced coal rates to the highest
point yet reached is regarded as the fore
runner of general advance all along TIE

AFTER TWENTY YEARS WORK.
Steam VIII Shortly BE Made In the
MOnAdn6ck.

MOnndn6ck.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, October o.
Steam will be raised in the double turret ed
monitor Monadnock Wednesday or Thurs
day, when the vessel will be given dock
trial at Mare Island to test her machinery.
The warshp will be entirely completed and
ready to put into commission within
month.
Only some minor parts of the gun mounts
are now lacking. which are on the way
from the east.
The Monadnock has been building for
twenty years and more, her keel having
been laid in 1874. The old Monadnock had
done good work during the rebellion, and
Secretary Robson. finding that it was i'm
possible to get appropriations for new ships,
conceived the idea of having the Monad-
mock and other old vessels rebuilt.
The expense attached to this came out of
the fund for repairs. The Monadnock was
put up in frame at Williamsburg. N. Y.
and then taken apart and the plates ship
ped to Mare Island in a sailing vessel
around the Horn. For years the plates lay
exposed to the weather. The appropriations
for '.repairs'' We're small, and the work was
delayed. Several times the plans had to be
altered to conform with modern require
ments, but now it is declared that the Mon
adEock is one of the finest and most eff
ficient warshipS afloat.
The old Mopadnock was dismantled here
and her timbers cut up into relics of former
glory.
