CANNON SOUNDS AN ALARM.
Congress Is Warned Against Extrava-
CANT lamentations.

Congress Is Warned Against Extrava-
giant Appropr iations.
Chairman Cannon of the Appropriation
Committee of the House, in the course of
the general debate on the sundry civil
bill, sounded a note Of warning against
eXtravagant appropriations, and practical
ly served notice that neither the ship sub
sidy bill nor the Nicaragua canal bill
could be passed at this session. Mr.. Can
non made a general analysis of what the
bill contained. 1t carries $62, 1923, 1O1, but
$2O,000,00O is for the payment to Spain
to carry out the provisions Of the Paris
treaty. Exclusive of that, the bill car
ries $S,O95, 1913 less than the estimate, and
1923, 81 less than the current law.
In connection with the bill Mr.. Cannon
made general statement as to the condi
ton of the revenues. The Secretary of
the Treasury in October last, Mr.. Cannon
said, had estimated the deficiency of the
revenues for the fiscal year ending July
1, $780, to be $112,00O,O00, or monthly
average of $9,333, 900. In his judgment,
in the light of the receipts and eXpendi-
lures for the first seven months thus es-
timated, the deficiency was much too low.
The actual deficiency up to Feb. l, 1899,
was $93, 151 900, an average of $780,
600 per month. AT this rate the defcien-
cy for the fiscal year would be $3.50, 000,-
O0O But this would not include the $780,
100000 provided by the bill to carry out
the provisions of the Paris treaty.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: THE solid basis for good bus
mess has not been shaken by the specu-
latiye reaction. Stocks have been slight
ly lower, and the market is all the safer,
because much unsOundnesS and unreaSon
have been shaken out. Speculation in
wheat, which for a time depressed prices,
has also taken turn, and with heavy
exports the market tends upward again.
The cotton movement is not essentially
speculative, but based on reported IN
juries, and holds its advance. Meanwhile
dispatches from all parts of the country
show extraordinary activity in the chief
branches of trade, and business much
larger than year ago in nearly all. The
heavy excess of exports over imports CON
tinues, New York exports having been IN
five weeks 16 per cent larger than last
year, while imports were 3 per cent lower.
In wheat Americans are getting prOhts
even though prices are lower than they
were some months ago. The cotton mar
ket is in slightly stronger position, because
foreign buying continues beyond prece-
dent What wool is worth in view of the
great stocks yet unconsumed few are able
to judge, and that fact binders adjust
ment of prices for goods. Sales have been
small. The iron industry is so exploited
by consultations and attempts OF that
nature that it is wonderful prices have
not reflected distrust. Instead there have
been general advances in pig because the
demand has been large. Failures for the
week have been PIT in the United States,
against 295 last year, and 80 in Canada,
against 43 last year.

Brig. Gen. Charles 2. Eagan, commits
sary general Of the United States army,

pended from rank and duty, but with full
pay, for period of six years, the findings

an officer and gentleman. The penalty
fixed by the articles of war is dismissal
from the service. Gen. Eagan will con-
tnue to draw the pay of his rank, $500
a year, but is deprived of an allowance
for quarters, amounting in his case to $50
a month When an officer of his rank is
stationed where the Government has no
quarters an allowance of $12 room is
made, and he is entitled to five rooms. An
allowance of SIG is also made for forage
in the event he keeps horses. That is

New Company Is Organized by New
York City Liquor Dealers.
New York liquor men are organizing an
opposition to the liquor trust. 1t is local
effort, but it promises to be of large pro-
portions. 1t is fathered by several of the
leading wholesale liquor dealers in New
York, and their plans are nearly perfect
ed. The new movement is result of the
incorporation under the laws of New Jer-
sey of the whisky trust, with a capital
stock of $33,O0O,OOO The New York
dealers felt that unless some decisive
stroke was made the new company would
injure them, and they started out for a
little concerted action themselves. The
new company, which is to be called the
Wine and Spirit Trading Company, will
have capital stock of only $1,0O0,O0O
and will attempt to shut the whisky trust
out of New York City. 1t will erect it's
own distillery and will pursue a thorough
ly aggressive policy within its own terri
tory.
