IMPORTS OF SUGAR.
a Total of 3O,G07,5 500 Pounds Re-
ceived at Five Ports.


Washington, June 6.-Worthington c.
Ford, chief of the bureau of statistics,
gives out the imports of sugar for the
month of May, 1895. The total quantity i'm
ported at the five ports of New York, Bos-
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and San
Francisco was $50, ,6g7 599 pounds, valued at
$1O,2S9, 434 These figures represent a very
heavy import. While the tariff act of 1894
was before congress, the importations
were greatly stimulated by the uncertain
ties of the duty to be levied on sugars and
the highest figures In the history of the
country were touched. In March, 1894, the
imports were 691, 1883, ,125 pounds, and in July
of the same year 766,o46. $50 pounds.
If the monthly importations be examined
as far back as January, 1895, it would be
seen that in no single month prior to
March, 1894, had the imports touched $780,
100000 pounds. The returns of May, 1895
are heavier in quantity than the imports
in May of any previous year, and should.
therefore, be accounted as breaking the
record. The values still rule very low. In
June, 1894, an importation of 521,37S,O0O
pounds was valued at SlS, 1913 The
greater import of May, 1895, was valued at
only $40, ,2S9, ,4S4 or nearly $S,0O0,O 600 less.

New York June 6.-The Financial
Chronicle has Issued its annual statement
Of the cotton acreage, stand and condi-
tion.
The estimated decrease In acreage by
states follows: North Carolina, 20 per
cent; South Carolina. 10 per cent; Geor.
gia, lS per cent: Florida. per cent; Ala
bama. II per cent; Mississippi, 10 per
cent; Louisiana. "A per cent; Texas. II

see, per cent; other states and terri-
tories, 12ls per cent.
The average decrease Is ii6 per cent. The
acreage is l7,767.66a. against 2OlO7.247. The
small decrease in Florida is due to larger
planting OF sea island cotton.
The crop is unquestionably late. The
weather up TO May q was not favorable.
II is not certain whether permanent in
jury has resulted or not. Probably serious
harm has resulted in only limited areas.
Cultivation has not been thorough as II
was year ago. There has been very
heavy decrease In the taking OF commer-
cinl fertilizers. but OF home made fertiliz-
ers a slightly greater use Is reported.
The condition Of the plant was less satis-
factory at the close of the month than at
the same date last year. The states OF less
promise are the CarOlinas and Georgia.
but the plant Is late almost everywhere
and 80 is farm work. The condition Is not
necessarily unpromising, but mere depends
upon future development than has been
the case I'M some other productive years.

Rock Island. Ill, June 6--The bankers
association Of Illinois concluded its con-
vention here to-day. Expression was made
on the financial question by the adoption
OF the following resolutions:
Resolved. That we. the bankers associa-
tion of Illinois, in convention assembled,
do hereby pledge ourselves to the support
Of every proper effort put forth for the en-
Iarged use Of silver; that we favor the
use of gold and silver for monetary pur-
poses under such regulation as shall main
tain the same at a parity so that every
dollar, whether gold, silver or paper. shall
be at all times equal in purchasing or debt
paying power. With these ends in view
we declare ourselves unalterably opposed,
under present conditions to the free and
unlimited coinage Of full legal tender
silver upon the ratio of 1G to I, in the abb
sence of an international agreement, be-
lieying that such a course would result in
silver monometallism and bring upon the
country. through the dual ahliction Of a
degraded standard and contracted volume
of circulation, panic more disastrous
than any this country has experienced. In
view OF the losses that would thus be in
dicted upon all classes, and especially upon
wage earners, pensioners and savings
bank depositors, we are warranted in char
acterizing such a policy as inimical to the
interests of the entire people and tanta-
mount to confscation of the property OF
the country's producers and defenders-a
constituency whose Interests should be
most jealousy guarded by the lawmakers
of the republic.
