MEXICAN FINANCES.
Talk of Gold Standard Heard in
Banking Circles.

SlTCics.
Mexico City. Aug. 1S.-Premium on
New York exchange today rose to 40,
corresponding to the renewed decline in
silver. the news of which created a SEN
sation. Talk of the gold standard is
heard in banking circles, but one argu-
ment raised against it is the injury to
result to local manufacturers. as the gov
eminent could not raise tariff sufficiently
to compensate them for the loss of that
measure of support now afforded by cheap
silver without imperiling the revenue.
Everybody now anticipates a continued
fall in silver until it reaches the average
cost of production, although some large
miners now contend it has already gone
below that. Opinions differ widely as to
the cost of production, but here on the
silver basis the cost is undoubtedly so
low as to afford a profit at even lower
than present quotations.
The demand from Europe for D per cent
silver bonds continues.

THE ALASKAN COMMISSION
Reports on ACCESSIBILITY Of Establishing Agri
cultural Experiment Stations.

Washington. Dec. 19.-The report If
the commission which. last summer,
was sent to Alaska to investigate the
question of the feasibility of establish
ing agricultural experimental stations
in that country. for the better devel-
opment of the products of the soil has
been transmitted to the House of Rep
resentatives.
Accompanying the report is a letter
to the secretary from DR.. A. c. True.
the director of the Office of the expert
ment stations. who states his conclu
sions based on the facts contained IN
the commissioners report
DR.. True says that various crops.
especially grass, vegetables and ber-
ris, are successfully grown in different
localities in Alaska. and live stock is
raised in small numbers. The opinion
is expressed that for an indefinite
period agriculture in Alaska will be
subsidiary to other industries, such as
mining, fishing and the fur trade.
DR.. True recommends that the inves-
legations be continued. with view to
the introduction of the best methods
for raising crops. and asks an appro-
Gpriation of $4,000 for this purpose.
