finance, Baron Won Rhein baben, in tte
lower house of the diet. today. presented
the budget for 1902. in which the ordi-
nary estimates show deficit of 10000

special difficulty, primarily thru the inn
perishable services OF the late finance
minister, DIR. MIGUEL, whose wise fore
sight had collected surplus which at
the end of 1900 amounted to 71.5OO,00(
marks.

the estimates several members of the
reichstag welcomed the occasion to ex-
press their personal concurrence in Won

ances. In behalf of the liberal people s
party Herr Richter endorsed the chan
cellor's rebuke and said the incident
served to demonstrate In national ques-

SUGAR Tariff ss5.ooo. 900.

New York, Jan. AT the annual
meeting of the American Sugar Refining
Company in Jersey City, President
Havemeyer presented his annual re-
port. He said: 1T would seem that with
an overflowing treasury there had dis
appeared any reason for continuing the
existing high tariff upon raw sugar. 1t
constitutes a charge upon the consump-
tion of nearly cents a pound. This
represents on an annual consumption of
1850, coo tons sS5, 100000 year. OF this.
however, only 100000 tons are import
ed yielding customs revenues of s49,-
100000. The balance. s36.Oo0o00, goes
into the pockets of the planters. A re-
moval of this duty on raw sugar would
result in saving to the consumer Of
$50. 600 OOO"

bracing mines in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, produced its max
imum out put of 90, 900 long tons,
or T5 per cent of the total for the
United States. The Mesabi range in
Minnesota alone produced 80 per cent
of the total domestic product. The
total value at the mines of the 27,-
$4,000 long tons produced In 1900 was
$66.590.000, compared with $34, 900
In 1899, gain of 9n.26 per cent. The
average price was S2.42 per long ton
as compared with s1.42 In 1899, gain
of 70.4 per cent. The report shows
that the pig iron production in 1900 in
creased 1.24 per cent in tonnage and
over 6 per cent in value over the rec
ord breaking year. The total steel
production was a decrease over 450,-
900 long tons from 1899. The most
important gains in gold production
We're in Seward Peninsula, Alaska.
Cripple Creek district, Colorado and
Arizona. The yield for the year vaI-
ued is s79,171,000, a gain of $S,118,-
600 over 1899. The silver output was
of the commercial value of $35.741,000.
The report notes great activity for
the year in old and new copper prop
critics. In 1899 production of coal in
the United States exceeded for the
first time that of Great Britain. In
1900 the lead over Great Britain was
much increased, thus fixing the United
States firmly in the first place among
the worlds producers. The reports
of coal in 1900 amounted to only
little over 3 per cent of the total pro-
duct. The imports We're still smaller.
The crude petroleum production ex-
ceeded all records. In dications for
1901 are for largely increased output
over 1900.
