There has been so much controversy
regarding the volume of circulation in
the United States that Director Preston
has throught proper to present COM
plete statement of the metallic circula-
tion at the close of each fiscal year. on
June 80, from 1873 to the present time,
This table shows that in spite of the
charge that silver was demonetized In
1873 the per capita volume of silver in
circulation increased from fifteen cents
in that year to 80 20 in 1898, and stood
in 1896 at 1881. The gold circulation.
which was $3.2S in 1873, rose to sl1,76 in
1888, and stood in 1896 at $40. This
table is as follows:

INCREASE IN TRADE.

Beef packing has grown with like
rapidity. During the season of 1S63-64,
there We're packed here 70,0S6 cattle,
while in 1S90-91, the number had risen
to 1850, 1893. The grain trade has in
creased from $685. ,459 bushels received
in 1858, and 81, ,027 bushels in 1860,
to 234 ,423, ,240 bushels in 1891. Shipments,
which began with rs bushels of wheat
in 1888. had grown by 1870 to 54,745, ,9O3
bushels of grain OF all kinds (flour in
cluded, reduced to it's equivalent in
grain), and in 1891 reached the sum OF
207, ,9S7762. The lumber receipts. which
in 1858 aggregated 02101, 900 feet, and
93,4S3, 900 shingles, had reached, in 1891,
2045, AIS, 900 feet, and 303 S95, 900 shingles
Salt receipts had increased in the same
period from 81 ,7S9 to 1,345573 barrels;
coal, from 3S,54S to 5,2Ol ,633 tons; hides,
from 1,274,311 to 110,S91, ,694 pounds
WOOL, from 1,O3O,6 to 35,O49, ,664 pounds.
In seven years Chicago has gained
about 100000 in population. Nothing
can be more marvellous than these
figures, and it may be truthfully said
that:

WORLDS MONEY SUPPLY.
Some Interesting Statistics from the
Mint Report--The Per Capita Cir
cuIation in Each Country of the
World.

Mint Director Preston has included
in his annual report for the fiscal year
1896, which has not yet been distrlbut-
ed to the general public, some figures
which throw a strong light on the con-
tention that the supply of standard
money of the world has been contract
ed as the result of the suspension of
free silver coinage in leading coun-
tries since 1873. His tables show that
the per capita circulation OF the Unit
ed States has increased within these
twenty-four years from $21.36 to $24.03;
the circulation of the united kingdom
from $3.50 to 500. 80; the circulation of
Germany from $3.50 to $192S; the cir
culation of Belgium from s14.4 to
$2S.49; the circulation of Italy from
Sass to 1926, and the circulation Of the
Netherlands from $16.56 to $24O6. The
following table gives the usual figures
of per capita circulation In each of the
countries of the world for the latest
dates for which the figures are access
sible:

Mr. Chittendens bicycle ordinance,
or rather the incongruous thing that
emerged from the last meeting when
Mr.. Oliver finished amending II, met
death by unanimous consent last night.
Mr.. Oliver was absent from the meet
ing and was spared being "in at the
death" of his adopted child.
The meeting was a very business-like
affair lasting less than an hour and
being devoid of speeches, although the
eloquent Mr.. Keller, had not Chairman
Grier prevented, would have told why
he seconded the motion to kill the BIZ
cycle ordinance.
Bids were received as follows for
the erection of the Cumberland Hose
house: =. +. Calpin, 1867. James II.
Nolan. $1,000; Spruks Bros 1880. The
contract was awarded forthwith to CAL
pin.
Resolutions were adopted directing
Janitor Marshall to decorate city hall
for the firemen's parade; directing the
assessors to place a nominal value of
800 year for ten years on the land
and plant of the new silk mill; grant,
ing permission to Mrs. Anna Morris
to connect her property with the Hitch
cock court sewer; directing the city
engineer to give grade in front of the
William Connell hose house. which
place is to be paved: permitting the
property holders on Linden streete, be-
tween Webster and Clay avenues to
construct a private sewer in Alton
| court; permitting the Hook and Lad
der company to take it's apparatus to
Wilkes" Barre on the occasion of the
state firemens parade next Thursday.
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORDINANCE.
An ordinance providing for an cleo
trio light in the Ninth ward at the
| corner of Quincy avenue and Myrtle
avenue, was introduced by Mr., Moir.
An ordnance was introduced by Mr..
Keller providing for the laying of flag
stone sidewalks and curbstone on Web
ster avenue between Linden and Null
! berry streets.
An ordinance providing for repairing
| the Relief Hose cOmpany's wagon
passed first and second readings.
On third reading council passed or
| dinances providing for a sewer on
Muncy avenue and Green place; APP
propriating $52219 for clerk hire in the
assessors office; providing for the
construction of a sewer on portions of
Scranton street, Seventh street, Ninth
avenue, Chestnut avenue, Tenth and
Jackson streets; providing for a sew
er on Won Storch avenue and Homes
dale street; providing for repairs on
| the old Columbia Hose wagon.
CAUSED DISCUSSION.
Some discussion was engendered by
| Mr.. Flanaghan's resolution permitting
| the Hook & Ladder company to take
| it's truck to Wilkes Barre, Mr.. Noone
| and some of the other members think
| ing it unfair to grant this permission
| to the Hooks" when the Columbias
are seeking the same privilege in vain
The discussion. however, was brought
to a termination by Mr.. Zeidler volun-
teerinS the information that he had
written to the Baltimore firm, which
is constructing the Columbia wagon
and learned that it will not be com
pieted before the latter part of Octo-
ber 1t is a special make of wagor
and had to be built from the ground
up there being no part of it that Is
kept in stock.

What does this signify as regards the
population of Chicago in comparison
with other cities? The percentages are:
Chicago, 43; New York, 81; Philadel-
phia, 20; Brooklyn, 6; st. Louis, 65;
Boston, l, and Baltimore, Is. The
growth of Chicago has been nearly as
great as that of New York and the
other five leading American cities COM
bned.
BY the accepted rule Of So persons
to every voter, the population of Chi
cago is shown to have been in Novem-
Der, 80, 1,S53OO0, while New York had
1,650,OO0 BY the present time nearly
four and half months having
elapsed Chicago is doubtless passed
the 100000 mark.
Chicago has an area of 1856 square
miles, while the next largest city in
point of area is st. Louis with 61.35
square miles, and New York ranks
third with less than so.
The growth of Chicago up to 1890 is
illustrated by the following figures,
which have no parallel in history:

1872 is given only for the United States
and the leading European countries, as
the data is unreliable In many other
cases. and the volume of circulation has
been subject to violent fluctuations in
some of the less advanced countries,
with little regard to commercial or eco
nomic conditions. This table OF the cir
culation in thsse leading countries in
1873 is as follows:

NUMBER OF VOTERS.

There are more voters in Chicago than
in any one of three-fourths of the
States in the Union, and more than in
New York city by a sufficient number
to leave nc. doubt as to the greater pop
ulation of Chicago by many thousands

eat any dinner or drink water, as
we were going to open or rather

the roads very muddy. We did
not go where dinner was, so did not
get any. A man gave us n ride in
wagon for about 4 miles. We
walked until after dark and were
cared for by some very nice people
named Richardson's, about 4 miles
from Munfordville, the county seat
of Hart. just after entering the
county we dedicated it, ourselves;
and the people to the lord and
asked Him to bless us that we
might perform our duties as we
should. This was Friday the 3Oth
of April. We retired soon after sup
per having travelled about 30 miles.
