A NEW DEPARTMENT.

The project for a new executive de-
partmens. to be presided over by sec
rerary Of commerce. has been discussed
in a desultory way for some years, both
m and out OF congress II now looks
as though it will be carried into execu-
ton by the next congress, either at the
extra session or at the regular one next
December II Is understood that Pres
ident-elect Mckinley is decidedly in ia
vor OF the creation OF the new depart
nlent, and consequently such a bill will
probably pass.
The treasury department Is loaded
down with collection Of bureaus
which would naturally come within the
purview of the new department. II is
proposed to include in II the following
bureaus now In the treasury depart
ment: Navigation, customs, internal
revenue. statistics. steamboat inspec-
tion. coast and geodetic survey. light
house board. life-saving service and su-
pervistng architect'e Office. To these
Wal be added, from the interior depart
ment, commissioner OF railroads, geo
detdc survey and census; from the war
department. internal Improvement, in
Guiding rivers and harbcrs. and indie
pendent bureaus. the department OF la
Dor, the bureau OF American repub-
lies and the intercolonial railway COM
mission.
These VIII give ample work for the
new department, which will become
one Of the most important Of the en-
tire number, and also give needed relief
30 the existing departments. Especially
will this be the case with the secretary
Of the treasury. who is overburdened
with details-so much so that the office
Is one which only a very strong man
physically can undertake without risk
90 his health and even life-witness
Daniel Manning and William Window
II this department is created, the
cabinet win consist Of nine members.
When Washington assumed office, he
had but four cabinet officers-the sec
retaries Of state. treasury. war and
attorney general. AT that time the sec
retary of war had supervision Of naval
affairs as well. The first addition was
when the navy department was created.
The next came when President Jack
son invited his postmaster general, Ma
jor Barry, of Kentucky, to a seat in
the cabinet. Up to that time the post
master general had not been regarded
as cabinet officer The next addition
came with the creation Of the interior
department. Of which Thomas Ewing,
of Ohio, was the first secretary. The
number remained at this figure until
the erection Of the department Of agri-
culture into an executive department
during President Clevelands first ad-
ministratiOn.
As the country grows in population
and in business. the duties Of the gov
ernment become more complex, and a
subdivision of the larger departments
becomes necessary, as a result. The
work of amy one cabinet officer Of today
Involves more actual work than thai
of all four of the members Of Washing.

and in order to avoid too serious
break in prices. many interests added
heavily to their stocks at line storage
points. So far as can be seen now, no
material improvement for the better is
likely to take place until the opening
of spring trade.
DISAPPOINTMENT KEEN.
THE disappointment is more than
usually keen because of the undoubted
earnestness apparent through the first
half of the year and the excellent re-
suits from 1t which showed in the lat
ter part of June. The entire situation
has been summarized by a large deal
er, In the statement that, for somo
years past, the sellers have found It
more and more difficult to deceive the
dealers into believing that It was a
good plan to purchase in spring for
investment.
This year they made supreme eff
fort and succeeded again, but the deal
ers have now concluded that in future
1t will be more profitable to take the
chance of an advance in prices in fall,
rather than to purchase early and lose
the interest, and even part of their in
vestment, as has been the case. While
there never has been supreme conf
dence in the promises of the trans
porting interests, their action this year
has been a serious blow to what little
remained, and it is probable that it will
take several years of faithful perform
ance to again place them in the posi-
tion which they have forfeited.
But present conditions are serious.
The tonnage for October has been eX-
Ceptionally large; unsold stocks held
at interior storage points have greatly
increased; the market is comparative
ly inactive and it's entire tendency is
to purchase only from hand to mouth
as the actual consumption warrants
For the next thirty days shipments will
continue to the East and West, but
then. when navigation is closed, the
entire product will be thrown on the
tidewater and line market, with the
usual result that prices will drop far
below present quotations.
SHOULD TAKE ACTIVE STEPS.
For the sake of maintaining the
value of their various securities. and
| to avoid the repetition OF such another
struggle as was had the first half of
this year, the transportation interests
should take active steps now, and not
wait until the close of the month to
keep the November tonnage well with
! in the markets requirements. If an
unusually active demand should arise.
| it will be asy to increase the output,
but unless decisive action is taken early
this month, the conditions at the be-
| ginning of next year, only two months
| off, will be even worse than at the
| commencement of this one.
