Silver for Philippine Islands.

Washington, April 3.-The ac'
ton of the senate committee on the
Philippines in providing for free
and unlimited coinage Of silver dol
lars at San Francisco and at Manila
for use in the Philippines, is Gauss
ing great deal of comment here.
The express terms of the bill we're
set forth in the press dispatches. AS
is known, the house bill provides
for a good standard dollar for the
Philippines, but several senators
are of the opinion that the house
will accept the senate amendment
when the members learn that the
republican senators will nearly all
support the senate amendment.
The amendment was largely in
the hands OF sub committee COM
posed of Allison, Beveridge and
Dubois, and in no small degree the
action taken was shaped by Sena>
tor Dubois. The idea was to pro-
duce money which would supplant
the Mexican dollar in the Philip
pines and which may circulate
throughout Asia, taking place of
both Mexican and Bombay dollars.
The new coinage will be legal ten
der for all debts OF the Philippines.
1t is plain straight silver standard
dollar.
One of the arguments presented
to the committee by Senator Du>
bois was that if there is ground for
the republican contention that the
holding of the Philippines by this
government would be the means OF
opening up a vast amount OF Amer>
ican trade in the Orient, which the
senator doubted, when that trade
reaches large proportions it would
create such a demand for the silver
dollar provided by this bill that the
price of silver must of necessity be
enhanced, and therefore if the re-
publican policy is the true one, as
il relates to Philippine affairs, the
price Of American silver must reach
a high point.
Senator Dubois has suggested to
Senator Allison that the committee
recommend to the senate the taxi
ing of separate vote on the coin
age amendment when the bill
comes up, and he says should this
be done that every senator on both
sides will vote for the silver stand>
ard for the Philippines. The de-
sign of the Philippine dollar will be
radically different from the Ameri-
can silver dollar, the latter worth
two Of the former.

H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER

New Orleans, La, Jan. 3.-As Liverpool
advices were not encouraging our market
opened points lower, declined 16 points
additional on the heavy movement, east
ness of spots and the bearish visible
supply statement, closing at net loss
of IS points The amount brought into
sight during the week was 10000 over
last year and showed an increase of 1885,
900 over year before last During the
first three days of January an excess of
$4,000 over last year was brought into
sight and the increase over year before
last was II 600 The total marketed from
September 1st to date has been 10000
over last year, and $4,000 in excess of
year before last. From the above it will
be seen that the crop points to 10,595,0 900
providing there is no more cotton in the
South than last year, because the growth
was 1858, 900 last year and the amount
brought into sight to date shows an in
crease of 10000 to date over last season.
The twenty nine leading interior towns
during the week exceed 10000, against
1885, 900 last year, an increase of Al 900, or
a gain of 80 per cent. The total stock of
American ashore and afloat to Liverpool
is 100000, against S27 900 last year, an
increase of 1876, 900. The total visible sup
ply Of all kinds during the week in
creased 215, 900, against a decrease of L.
800, 900 last year. Aggregate supply of
American to date shows an increase of
333, 900 over last year and exceeds year
before last by $4,000. A careful perusal
of the data given demonstrates that sta
tistically the situation is bearish and the
continued accumulation in the visible
confirms the unsatisfactory textile con-
ditions in Europe, as it proves that the
takingS by SpinnerS to date are practically
the same as last year. being considerably
under Mr.. Ellison's expectations, which
is recognized by him in his last circular,
as he says he may have to reduce his
estimate of 10, 600 900 American consump-
tion unless there is a decided revival in
trade Judging from present indications
Mr.. Ellison will soon be forced to again
reduce his estimate of American con-
sumption, as the facts do not point to
anything near his last figures as being
requisite the New York Commercial in its
issue in December Goth says: THE an
nual statement of thirty-six Fall River
mills shows an average dividend of 5.3I
per cent which is more than per cent
less than the average of last year and
about ga of / per cent less than the
average for the past thirteen years. The
mills making the more common grades
of printing cloth paid less than these
making medium and fine count yarn
goods" This would indicate that the
Eastern spinners in American are not
doing satisfactory business as is evil
denced by their restricted taking. Sen
timent is bullsh, still we again suggest
realizing of profits on long cotton as
the movement may continue to equal or
exceed last years.

New York, Jan. 3.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices off / to
points under scattering sales by both
local interests and some foreign pres
sure, all prompted by disappointing Liv-
erpool cables and tremendous move
ment of cotton at the ports. Prospects
for an increase of considerably over 100,-
600 bales in the in sight for the week as
compared with last year alarmed large
and small holders alike and stimulated
selling for short account around the
opening Before the end of the first hour
the unloading movement had grown to
large proportions with commission
houses in the lead as sellers. Nearly
every one seemed to have cotton to dis
pose of while demand was extremely
light and almost entirely of a profit
taking nature by room shorts. Later in
the morning March broke to 1856 and
May to 500 under a small avalanche of
cotton from Wall street, the South and
Europe. While there was a Slight rally
towards midday, the market had every
appearance of working still lower before
any pronounced change for the better was
to be expected. Reports reached the
ring to the effect that Southern spot
markets were easier and the official es-
Inmates for tomorrows receipts were of
a bearish average. There were occa-
sional rallies in the afternoon on turns
for profits by the ring, but for the most
part the market was nervous and irregu-
lar with prices disposed to seek still
lower levels. Sentiment for the time be-
ing was bearish, and the bears sold
heavily on the theory that receipts would
continue large for some time to come
and that more long cotton remained to
be liquidated before any decided reaction
could occur. There was not a rally of
consequence in the last hour, and the
market closed barely steady at a net
decline of IL to IA points.
