SENATOR BUFFERS SPEECH AGAINST BONDS
A Fine Campaign Document Vote Winner-It
Sounds the Keynote for 1895.

Senator Buffers speech, delivered in
the senate Tuesday, Jan. IA, against the
further issue of bonds and to prevent
the payment of coin obligations in gold
alone, has struck popular chord from
ocean to ocean. Requests for copies of
this peech are daily received from ev-
cry state and territory in the Union, un-
til the demand has reached several hum
dred thousand copies. A further gratui-
tous distribution of the speech taxes the
pocket of the author beyond his ability.
To meet the popular demand, however
the speech will be distributed at the
cost rate of $3.50 per hundred or $3.50
per thousand. Orders may be sent to the
Public Printer, Washington, D. c., or to

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
FIOUR-The cost of manufacture has
gradually crept up to a point about 10c
per barrel higher than it was a few days
ago, and mllers have found it's necessary
to lift quotations that much higher. An
other feature lies in the fact that today on
slight concession Of about SC per barrel
large quantities can be sold. A heavy lot
has moved out in the last day or two, net
ting 1881 here in wood. This condition of
affairs has not before existed for some
time. 1t has been so that a concession,
however large, would not entce buyers in
to the market for round lots, but now it is
found that they are willing to pick up
bargain even at an advance of soc over the
low point since the first CT the year. The
foreigners are again getting farther away
them so much since the domestic trade
shows such decided sign of improving. To-
day sale, however large, at less than $3.50
would be considered as rather poor while
at 1885 there would be little to brag about.
The South is inquiring freely and has been
taking some pretty good lots during the
last two or three days. The East is in the
market, largely in speculative way, and
will not buy in large lots, excepting at con-
cessions, which would place the sale at
loss. There is considerable going into
storage at the head Of the lakes, STILL but
millers expect that at the present rate of
Improvement there will be little call for
further storage up there. First patents,
$535@3.60; second patents, $3.15@3.20.

GOLD IN CIRCULATION.
From the Minneapolis Penny Press.

From the Minneapolis Penny Press.
It will be remembered that committee
was appointed some time ago, Of ma
tional character, to attempt to ascertain
the amount of gold in circulation in the
United States So far the result of the
investigation would seem to indicate that
the ultimate result will be disappointing
even to the gOldites-as less than four
hundred millions are likely to be found
in circulation instead Of the oft asserted
$65O,000.000.
In order to make this subject clear it is
fair to state the amount of money in
actual circulation in 1893, before the pres
ent depression and hard times really be-
gan The total amount eQualed the sum
of 81 ,596, 049, 1888.
This total was made up as follows:
Gold coin in circulation. SAIL ,524 1923
Standard silver dollars. ...... $3.50 ,103
Subsidiary silver ............ 64916,2 09
Silver certificates. ............ 326, S49 1927
Treasury notes. LOT ,OOl $3.50
United States notes. .......... 1872, 500, 15S
Gold certificates. 121 ,210 1899
Currency certificates. ........ 1920, 900
National bank notes ......... 165, 085, 108
1t is fair also to state that at the close
circulation amounted to 1855, 038, 982,-
something more than $3.50, 100000 greater
than the former statement.
We have been wont to say that the
total amount of money in the United States
is practically $1,000, 900 900 of gold and
silver, and about $3.50 100000 of green
backs If we were to state the exact truth
with reference to the entire money in cir
culatiOn and in stock-as that which is
retained in the treasury is called-the to-
tai for the year ending October 1st, 1894,
amounted to $2,242 ,641 ,42O,-or $735, OO0,-
600 more than the sum indicated in cir
culation in 1892.
1t is interesting to observe also that on
the same day that there were $500, 126, PAS
in gold in circulation there were $40 ,6O2,-
339 in the treasury. OF course it must be
remembered that no matter what the
quantity of gold money there be the gov
eminent tries to retain reserve" in the
treasury of 500, 00O, 900.
1t is also interesting to note that on the
same day that SEC, 00O, 900 of silver dollars
were in circulation, as indicated above,
| 1857 900, 900 were in the treasury, and
that the total amount of money in the
treasury and thus withdrawn from circu-
lation amounted to $5SS, OO0, 900 in round
numbers,-at least $4OO, 200, 900 more than
ought to be there. -

THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.
!. The elevator fire and the war news in
the morning papers gave the market a
strong opening this morning, May wheat
opening at CSC, 1sc higher than Saturdays
close, sold up to 63ssc, which was the top
for the day, there was considerable wheat
bought on account of the fire, and it was
surprising the ease with which it was OBJ
tanned. There must have been a lot OF
long wheat on which the holders were anx-
ious to take their profits, or the buying
would have caused a much further ad-
vance. The market broke to 63c and held
around that price for some time, just De-
fore the close it slumped off to 62A Q629sc,
closing at that price sellers.
The visible supply decrease was about
what was expected, 922,0 900 blu against
decrease last year OF 100000 bu local
stocks decreased 1860 blu and Duluth in
creased $4,000 bu, the primary receipts
were 422 100 bu against 3S6,o00 bu last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth received $40 400 Du
of today's total, the amount on passage IN

are IN use at stamp mills or into series
of boxes filled with quicksilver.
| By this time all collectable gold will
have been saved, and after being run
through traps to save any stray amalgam
or quicksilver, the now unproductive
material will pass into a tailings we'll and
be taken up by an eight inch centrifugal
pomp and deposited as far as necessary
behind the boat. Fine sand or gravel
settling on the rifle of the sluices, burlap,
ETC., will be treated with cyanide. Should
there be found depressions and crevices
III the bedrock that the dredge or pump
can not reach, the air caisson will be
used and bedrock thoroughly cleaned
Another plan under consideration, ia to
raise the material and water for slulces
with centrifugal pump to the amalga-
mating plant, as described, placed on the
bank. Additional pumps will be provided,
by which will be removed the surplus water
that will run into the excavation. Larga
stones and the gravel from the screens
will be deposited in the excavations, back
OF the workings, and the fine tailinps,
sluice and surplus water will be conduct.
ed down the river fume, sufficient dis.
tance to prevent its return.
GREAT RESULTS ANTICIPATED,
This plan will enable the bedrock de-
pressions and crevices to be cleaned by
hand at less expense than by dredge or
calssons. The water flow of the river
will not exceed 10000 gallons per minute
during ten months of the year, 80 no
great capacity of pumps will be required.
Great results are anticipated under either
plan of operation.
The natural conditions have made the
Galisteo river most promising placer
proposition, The extent of its gold de-
posits can only be conjectured, but un-
doubtedly are very great.

Gear bill for the admission of New Mex.
loo, there is no likelihood that this or any

TORIES nor tss Republicans of the senats
or house oi representatives have the
faintest idea of admitting New Mexico,
Arizona or Oklahoma to statehood while
they control congress. The eastern Re-
publicans have no hesitation in declaring
that they want no more free coinage SEN
ators, and as it is reasonably certain that
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma
would be represented in the senate by
free coinage men, care will be taken that
neither of these territories be admitted
to the Union while the Republicans can
prevent it.
