New York, Nov pr. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade will say in its
issue of tomorrow:
The heavy exports of wheat, with the
renewed advance in price, is the most
interesting and important feature of the
weeks events Since August, when the
extent of the foreign deficiency became
realized exports have been larger than
in corresponding weeks of any previous
years. The cotton exports, also, have be-
come very heavy and the outgo of corn
fails little below last years unprecedent-
ed record, while in exports of manufac-
tured products, especially machinery, all
records for the season have been sur
passed.
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
While the aggregate for November last
year was over $109 000, 900, shipments from
New York for three weeks have been
Tut slightly smaller, with a fair prospect
that the known increase in cotton and
other products from other ports may
make up the deficiency. Meanwhile i'm
ports are running behind last years, at
New York nearly 81, 000,0 900 this month, so
that another excess of exports over i'm
ports. amounting to about $50, 600 900 for
the month, is probable.
WHEAT STATISTICS.
After the slight decline last Saturday,
wheat rose to S1003s for November, with
No. 2 red and all other grades selling
many cents higher. Yet western receipts
are Of enormous magnitude in four weeks
being 27.072,2 04 bushels, against 9,124 $50
bushels in the same four weeks last year.
while Atlantic exports, flour included, for
the week were 3.62S 446 bushels, and for
four weeks - 439, 839, against 7,7376S5 last
year. The shipments from other ports
have also been heavy, and nothing APP
pears to change former estimates of Eu-
rooean wants.

NEW MESSENGER SERVICE
PROPOSED FRANCHISE TO G. S.
HOLMES AND ASSOCIATES.
Fisher Harris Explains the Project
to the Council Committes-Pe-
tition of East Side Residents for
Fire Station

Last evening the city council COM
mittees gave consideration to several
matters referred to them. The bill for
an ordinance granting q franchise to
C. S. Holmes, his associates and sue
cessors, TO construct and operate a
messenger and signal service system,
was taken UP by the joint committee
on improvements and municipal laws
Fisher S. Harris appeared before the
committee to explain the purposes of
the promoters of the project and dur
ing the course of his presentation he
took occasion to deny the soft I'M
parchment that it was in the interest
Of new telephone exchange system.
The chief objection the committee had
to granting the franchise was the ag-
gravation of the street pole and wire
nuisances, but Mr.. Harris declared that
it was intended to string wires from
building to building only. For the rea-
son that there was no copy of the bill
before the committee it was decided to
postpone further consideration of the
matter until next Thursday evening,
when the city attorney will meet with
the committee.
THE HILL FIRE STATION.
The only other important matter
was the consideration OF the petition
of several east side residents for the
erection Of the proposed fire station on
street, on the site intended for it.
During the discussion the point was
made that a large number of the pc
titiOnerS. who, while taking a leading
part in the late non-partisan move
/ ment, had criticised the council for al
legged extravaganza in the expenditure
Of public funds, were now praying the
administration to do the very thing
that before election was condemned as
waste of the city's revenues. Not
withstanding this the members of the
committee agreed that the east and
northeast residence sections needed adj
ditional protection in the way of fire
fighting apparatus located within Easy
reach, but the rock on which the cOun-
| ctlmen parted was the city's financial
ability to undertake the Improvement
The committee arose without agreeing
upon a report

IRON INDUSTRY.

The iron industry shows no decrease in
production or consumption OF pig, but,
with much reduced orders for products,
excess of production is expected, and Bes-
semer falls q shade, to $10,15 and gray
forge TO 1926 at Pittsburg, though Chica-
so and eastern markets show no change.
Binets are also weaker at Pittsburg, at
$500.
Expectation of lower prices tends to
produce them at time when new bust
ness is naturally small but mills are
working mostly on small orders, with
buyers impatient for deliveries. Other
large orders are held back in plates, by
inability of the works to deliver in the
time desired. In bars, agricultural and
railway manufacture causes a heavy de-
mand at Chicago. Iron is preferred to
steel and thin sheets are also in better
demand. but bars are shade lower at
Pittsburg, and both wire and cut nails
Some large orders for rails by eastern
railways are reported.

Madison. Wis. Jan. I5.-It was exc
pected that the legislature would sim
ply devote itself to the governors mes
sage and transact no business. but some
important matters came up. In the
senate a bill was offered for an adyis-
DRY board of pardons To relieve the gov
ernor. which is the Michigan plan and
which 1t Is believed will get around the
constitutional provision in Wisconsin
vesting the right Of pardon In the gov
ernor exclusively.
In the assembly the rule relating
to the makeup Of the committees was
adopted after II had been amended. II
increases the size OF most Of the COM
mittees ard adds one or two new COM
mittees. The governor did not appear
in person In either house but sent his
message to each where IL was read by
the clerk. In both houses the reading
was listened to closely and the various
suggestions were received with interest.
At the close Of the session an adjourn
ment was taken until next Tuesday In
order to give the speaker an opportu-
nifty To make M hts committees. No
business can De transacted until the
committees are appointed and there Is
nothing to he gained by holding seS-

M'KINLEY BILL NOT THE MODEL.
Significant Statement by Man at Work
on the Tariff Bill.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Republic
an tariff-makers held no meeting yes
terday, having encountered several per-
picking points in the chemical schedule
which theybegan work on. Certain men,
bers were assigned to procure Informal
ton on various points and today the
committee will resume its work on the
schedule. From the experience of the
first session Of real work On the bill it
is considered by members of the COM
mittee doubtful whether it will be
practical for them to follow the orig
inal plan of work, which was to have
the full committee work together on
every schedule of the bill, instead of
dividing the schedules among SUBJ
committees. Under the present plan
every MEMBER has an opinion to give
on every point that arises, and progress
is very slow.
While there has been little discussion
of the general character of the measure
two or three underlying principles are
understood. There is no question but
that specific rates vii be levied wher-
ever possible. The bounty scheme, it
Is understood. will be abandoned. with
adequate duty on sugar. The principle
of free raw materials will be disregard
ed. Wool is considered by the Repub-
leans as the farmers finished product
which should be protected as the manu-
facturers products are, and lumber is
also regarded as quite as deserving of
protection as other articles in which
labor is large element of cost.

SENATE Is FOR FREE HoMEsrEAps.
Opens to Settlement All the Public Lands
Acquired from the Reds.


Acquired from the Reds.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate yes
terday passed the measure known as
the free homestead bill, which has been
under discussion since the holiday re-
cess. 1t Is a measure of far-reaching
Importance, particularly to the west;
and the interest in it was shown by the
feature of the several national plat
forms. The effect of the bill is to open
to settlement all public lands acquired
from Indians free of any payment to
to the government beyond the minor Of
flee fees, and to release from payment
those who have heretofore settled on
these lands. The number of acres in
VOWED. according to an estimate made
by the commissioner Of the general land
office. is 80. 252, 54l, which would have
yielded the government at the prices
heretofore established S35,S43,oo6
To offset this statement it was
brought out during the debate that the
lands were mainly arid, and that those
who had settled upon them were unable
to make payment by reason of the
scanty products CT the soil. The west
ern senators. in the main. favored the
bill as an extension of the general home
stead policy OF the government The
opposition was directed mainly by
Platt of Connecticut and Villas of Wis
consin. AS the bill passed in the house
II covered only the lands acquired from
Indians in Oklahoma, but as passed by
the senate the bill includes all Indian
lands. The final vote showed a decisive
majority in favor OF the measure.
