memorial has been signed by number
of leading bankers, merchants and
manufacturers doing business in the
east. 1t first refers to the recent anti
bimetallic memorial in which it says
bimetallism is justly described as a
growing agitation. 1t then proceeds
to relate that instead of the commercial
supremacy of Great Britain and the
financial ascendancy of London having
been established since the change in
the currency in 1916, it was achieved be-
fore then. Moreover up to nearly sixty
years after 1916 the business of the
world was concluded under the domi-
mating influence of the bimetallic sys-
tenn. The memorial concludes: I'm

be denied, we hope that the govern

danger to special interests or prophetic,

Completed.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The annual
government report on the mineral re-
sources of the United States for the
calendar year 1894 has been completed.
1t was compiled under the supervision
of DIR. ID. 7. Day, chief of the mineral

lions. The consumption of petroleum

creasing the stocks at the wells and
increasing the prices. The total prod
uct was valued at 1924, 955, 1S1. The
total value of non-metallic mineral
products was sos, $50, SAB, metallic S21s,-
