say;
Were we TO give AN opinion as to what
our feeling Is on the question OF crop we
should decidedly answer the ultimate yield
Of 1856 is one very much like 1s92-y3,
First, on account of poor fruiting: second,
on the extreme bnciSwardncss; third, the
reduction in acreage: and fourth, the de-
crease In the use of commercial fertilizers.
What the fall may bring forth we can
not say. but this month we do observe.
that on the 18th. Goth and 9th OF October,
l92, the crop was cut short materially by
frost. and II it is considered that this crop
IS even later in developing than 1892, and
that from the 22d TO the 26th is usually ac-
copied TO be an average time for frost,
you can easily draw your own conclusions,
, and II would be well for us to quote to
you a sentence which we wrote on tile "a
OF November. 1879 1--WE estimated the crop
then 1920 000l: "Those figures may seem
surprisingly small, aud we do confess they
do appear TO us as such considering tho
fine weather we have had during Sep
TENDER and the greater portion OF October,
anu The only way We can explain the
cause Of this large decrease compared with
lest season. IL the reduction OF acreage
rank growth. and an average poorly fruit
Ing. etc, and We're we to take our reports
as they stand our results as above in
dlcated would have proved still smaller"
This crop then turned out to be- 500, 900
bales
The next point to be considered IL the
tiate OF trade, nnd which probably is
quite as important, II not more so, than
the question of crop. on this score we
can only say that, so far as America Is
concerned. the prospects Of trade during
me next six months are bound to be
better than they were for the same period
curing last season, As for the continent,
20 long as 1t does not get any worse than
Nhat II is now, we may look forward to
very iull consumption. II you then
t.he INTO consideration, In connection
herewith. that our visible supply during
the next ten weeks Will dwindle down
mueh faster than It did last year, and
mat compared with 1892. we shall certain
prove considerably below the figures
o. me visible supply held lst October.

THE SYNDlCATE'S WORK.
Without a Parallel in Financial
Annals.
SOME AMAZING FACTS AND FIGURES.
Moncy-chnnRcrs of the old World
Taught New Arts In Finance
by the bond Operation.

New York. September s.--As the expor-
tations OF gold are about at an end.-ds-
spite the heavy shipments saturday--it Ia
practicable 10 present something like
definite results OF the operations OF the
government bond syndicate. In it's en-
tirety the transactions OF the syndicate
has been the greatest financial undertake
ing in history.
Never before was an attempt INSIDE TO
regulate exchange between America and
Europe, or. for that matter, hctXeon any
two countries having important business
relations. 1t was regarded as an impos-
sibility.
The most that has ever been done has
boon to sock to minimize the movement Of
gold from one center 70 another by In
creasing tho charges for bills OF exchange
aud for discounts, but at no time was the
now OF gold ever abruptly shut on and
totally stopped fer months when there
were heavy and steadily growing oblign-
tons to be met.
When the contact between the bond
syndicate and tho treasury, department
was signed, Oh February last gold was
leaving for Europe Mt the rate OF sioooO,-
COO week. The efflux was at once dis.
continued. and even ccnsignments which
had previously been arranged for were
cancelled.
oUTGo OF GOLD.
Not dollar OF gold was sent TO Europe
from that date until July TO- when a ship
ment OF $4,000 was made. Thenccforth
tho outflow grow I'm volume until two
woels ago, when Il began to subside.
An told. the loss OF gold has been SIS
s9I 900. OF which s17,3i0,o00 was withdrawn
from the treasury. OF this latter sum
slh7aI,00O was sent to Europe and Si.bT5.-
900 TO Canada. The balance. tl,0Sl. zoo was
exported TO Europe In the form OF hul-
lion. and was. therefore. not loss to the
treasury.
Tho price paid for tho bonds by the
syndicate was i0i.tai6 and the gov-
crumont consequently received SG5. liz, 900
for the issue which aggregated at Its
face value s62.3i5,0 600
In addition to the amount paid for the
bonds the syndicate has mnde coutribu-
tons OF gold to the extent of ,i0.625O0o,
20 that altogether the syndicate has de-
livered TO the trensurey N5.7lt,0O0 IN gold,
The syndicate brought sl5.i50 900 GOLD from
