The pensions paid by the government
are not on the decrease, though 35 years
have elapsed since the civil war was
ended. The report of the secretary of
the interior shows that on June 80, 1899,
there were 991 ,519 pensioners borne upon
the roll. During the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1900, there were allowed 40, 645
pensions on original applications, and
the number restored to the rolls was
1859, making a total OF new names ad-
ded to the rolls of As, ,344 The pensioners
dropped from the rolls during the year
by reason Of death and all other causes
aggregated 1884, leaving the number
remaining on rolls June so, 1900, 93529,
. net increase of 2,0l0 as compared with
the previous fiscal year, 1899. The an q.
nual value of the pension roll as It stood
on June 30, 1900, was s131, ,534 ,544, a de-
crease of $S3.417 In the annual value of
the roll from the year preceding. The
decrease was brought about mainly by
the death of pensioners receiving high
rates Of pension, and for the same rea-
son the average annual value of all
pensions for the fiscal year decreased
from sl3274 on June 80, 1899, to $132.39 on
June 80, 1900. The annual average value
Of general law pensions has increased
from s16570 to sl67.53, while the average
rate under the act of June 27, 1890, has
decreased from $10S. 80 to s10S. .2s; and the
average rate of pensions granted on ac-
count of service in the war with Spain
has also decreased from Sl96 SO to $l69 TO-
At some future day the pension ques-
ton will have to be met. 1t will have
to be met fearlessly and not with an eye
single to the next election. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars are drawn annu-
ally by people who do not need the
money. That feature of abuse could be
remedied at any time. 1t is a big ques-
tiOn and viii not down till taken in hand
intelligently.

FINANCIAL AND TRADE.

Responding to an advance in "Amer1-
cans" at London, the stock market open.
ed higher all around yesterday, with
strength most pronounced among the
railroad shares. In Baltimore & Ohio
the gain extended i and Z in Pennsyl-
yania, with an average improvement of
in the balance of the list. The indus
trials led by sugar and American to-
bacco, were stronger, the steel stocks
participating feebly in the movement.
ln London prices were to above New
York parity, and consols advanced 4
over last night.
The unsettled state of the iron and
steel trade is treated in an intelligent and
concise way in yesterdays issue of the
Iron Age. That. jonrnal says the reduc-
ton OF SIS to $50 ton on wire and wire
nails during the week has caused seri-
GUS setback in other branches of the iron
and steel trade, and that it will probably
be couple of weeks until the smoke
clears away and all parties are able to
get their bearings The effect of this oc-
currence is shown in our market reports
from the different trade centres, which
indicate that in some lines it is at pres
ent almost impossible to make QUOTA
tinns, owing to the cessation of business.
Looking to the future the Age enter
tains a cheerful view, in these words:
SHOULD iron and steel prices generally
settle to level somewhat lower than re-
cent figures, that will not be serious
matter. Manufacturers will be able to
bear reduction and still make fair
profit. No fear is felt of a return for a
long time to anything ike the low level
Of prices railing in 1898. More moderate
prices will greatly increase the demand
for iron and steel"
