WHISKY, BEER AND TOBACCO.
These Vile Luxuries Will Boost the
War Revenue Most.

Washington, April S.-The members
Of the ways and means committee of
the house are busily engaged with the
treasury officials in the work pre-
liminary to the drafting of a war
revenue measure to be introduced in
congress Immediately upon the open
ing of hostilities with Spain. An in
crease in the internal revenue tax on
beer from 81 to 81 a barrel and a large
increase in the tax on manufactured
tobacco, including cigars and cigar
cites, has been practically agreed
upon. Bank checks, bills of exchange,
drafts, deeds, mortgages and other
papers of this class, patent medicines
and nostrums in all probability also
Will be added to the list.
\ rough estimate of the receipts to
he derived from these sources is that
the increase on these articles alone
VIII approximate if not exceed $780,
100000 a year. Beer, il is thought will
produce an increase of S35, 000, 900; to-
bacco an increase of $33, 900, 900 or more
and commercial and patent medicines
S33, 900, 900. Another source of revenue
which it is certain TO be awaited Of is
transactions in railroad and other
listed stocks. It is believed that the
returns from this source will be large
In all the figuring so far. the remain
ing industries and the professions
which were taxed for strictly war
revenues during the rebellion have
been left out of the account. An in
crease of from to . cents on letter
postage and a tax on gas and electric
light has also been suggested to the
department, but these items have not
yet been considered. The increase of
cent an ounce on letter postage prob
ably would augment the receipts by
$50 .000. 600 a year.
A bill providing for a temporary loan
of $l00. 00G, 00O and a permanent loan
of $500. 600, 00a at per cent payable in
coin has been prepared by the ways
and means committee and will be i'm
mediately made in case of war The
whole question of finances of the gov
eminent in view of probable hostilities
is being carefully considered by the
treasury officials so that definite
and well thought out plan Of opera
lions may be at the disposal of con-
gress in case of need.

SCENT A BIG GOVERNMENT LOAN
MEETING OF BANKERS WITH j
PIERPoNT MORGAN.
What Security Is the Government
Going to Give?" Asks One of These
So-called Americans.

New York. April S.-J. Pierpont
Morgan has had important New York
bankers in conference at his office,
! touching national financial affairs. A
big prospective bond issue was dis
cussed. After the meeting a member
OF the Morgan firm hurried to Wash
ington ostensibly in the interests of the
bono syndicate. This may prove of
vast immediate Importance. That a
government loan must soon be ne
gotiated is fully realized and the sug-
gestion that it be made a popular loan
met with general approval.
J. Harrison Roades of the Greenwich
Savings bank, when asked his opinion,
wanted to know what security the
government was going to give?" 4
dispatch from Philadelphia, quoting
c. r. Lewis, a banker, said that city
would probably take $4,000 900.
lsadore Newman, a banker. inter-
viewed at New Orleans, thought 81
100000 of government per cent $50
bonds could be disposed of at par in
that city. Julius Runge, a Galveston
financier, said such d loan would be
popular there
]. J. Mitchell, of the Illinois Trust
& Savings bank, at Chicago, is quoted
as saying: If the loan was 5000. 000-
O0O and issued in bonds ranging from
$50 TO $500, they would be rapidly taken
up at par 1 don't think a popular
loan netting under per cent would
go.
when country is confront
ed with war, such bonds, it
is believed. would be sold very
quickly, for the people would be in
huenced by sentiments of patriotism
as we'll as by the knowledge that such
bonds could not fail to be good as in
vestments. l should say Chicago
would take s15,OOO,OOO of such bonds"

CHICAGO GRAIN REVIEW.
Wheat Advanced and Closed Strong
Brisk Demand For Corn.

Chicago, April S.-The opening in wheat
was steady, July starting at SS7sGS4. about
where IL left off yesterday. The closing
of the Liverpool and the continental mar
kets and nearly all the principal domestic
exchanges took away from the market
half of the usual speculative motive and
the pit at the opening and. for that mat
ter during most of the session. was not
more than half filled Enough bullish
news was to hand to cause a moderate
demand TO cover short contracts, and as
offerings were even scarcsr than buy
ing orders, the market for a time moved
upward July advancing TO SiHS41s from
S3st GIS37s where it had sold Immediately
after the opening.
Crop news from California was fully as
unfayorabls as yesterday, but outside of
this reports were generally favorable. The
figures on the Argentine weekly ship
ments depressed the market for time
Shipments last week were reported at
1672 900 bushels, an increase over the pre-
vious week. and this fact caused a little
more selling pressure, putting the price
back to S3ss. After that however. the
market ruled strong to the end. The
Cuban situation, so long a depressing
factor in wheat. has now apparently be-
come a bulish influence. Many. traders
and especially among the shorts, ex-
pressed the belief that hostilities would
result in an advance to prices and acted
according to their belief.
Additional strength was given the mar
