Glad to Be Home Again.

Am glad to be homes well
should say | am! Ours is a great
country; there are many attractive
places in It. but to me there's no place
luxe home. The very air here fills me
with enthusiasm, and the presence Of
my lifelong friends arouses my senti-
ment as nothing else can. Really,
was never so homesick in all my life
las during my stay az Washington, and
many time ! longed for glance over
the broad bosom of the Columbia and
a gool deep breath Of the pure ocean
breeze. This thing OF remaining away
from home is not all that has been
claimed for it. It's nice to make trips
and all that sort Of thing, but a fellow
longs for home, Just the same. whether

Survey Of Astoria Harbor.
II tried my level best to secure an
appropriation for survey and esti-
mate for Astoria harbor, but the gem
eral tendency to cut down approprla-
tions prevented me from getting 1t. My
resolution passed the senate, but was
held up by the house committee. It
provided for placing Astoria in sepa-
rate improvement district and set aside
a sum for the survey, likewise directing
an estimate Of the cost of the work.
When the emergency bill, to which l
have referred, was sent to the senate, l
tackled my resolution onto 1t in the
form Of an amendment. The senate
accepted it, but when 1t went to the
conference committee there was roar
from those representatives who had
measures of the kind which they want
ed to get through. They insisted that
mine would not be permitted unless
theirs were favorably acted upon. 1t
will be observed that / was trying to
sneak in the Astoria harbor appropria-
ton amendment, but the other fellows
wouldn't permit it.
"At the next session / expect to get
through the measure without opposi-
ton This was bad year for appro-
priations, as you we'll know, and / think
we did very we'll to get as much for
the state as was appropriated. But we
will do better next session, never fear"
The Political Outlook.
Senator Fulton says the political out
look IS all that could be desired by the
republicans. In the eastern states
Roosevelt is the great and only choice,
and his nomination is, the senator be-
lleves, assured without a struggle SEN
ator Fairbanks is the senator's choice
for vice president, although he admits
that his colleague does not want the
place. Mr.. Fulton added that Presl-
dent Roosevelt would be reelected by

THE FINANCIER,s STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Financiel says:
 The striking feature of the official state ment of the New York associated banks last week a further contraction of and an important reduction in deposits. As the result of the decrease in reserve quirements the surplus slightly aug
 nented. The contraction of $l1.S18.0 in loans was probably caused in part by the cancellation of those which had been tenn porarily made by the banks with funds de- posted preparatory to the disbursement of 300 in cash was surprising because the pre- liminary estimates which were based on the traceable movements of money during the week indicated gain in cash of $s61. 400. The discrepancy between the estimated gain and the officially reported loss may possibly be accounted for upon the theory that the banks counted cash coupons falling due December 1 which had been deposited for collection. After these coupons were paid and the proceeds distributed the cash hold ings of the banks would. if the coupons had been so counted. be reduced by the amount Of that item. Deposits decreased $16,334,
 Soo which closely corresponded with the sum of the reduction in loans and of the loss In cash therefore the statement showed good balance. Because of the reduction In deposits. reserve requirements were de- creased S4.0S3,600. deducting from which the loss of cash left $157.700 as the increase In surplus reserve to $S.639.075. Computed on the basis of deposits less those of $23- 33S,2oO public funds. the surplus is $I4372- 375. It may be noted that the reduction in loans last week makes a total of S51,6s3- 700 since October 20. the loss of cash makes &27, 1893, 500 and the decrease in deuosIts $76,bb6, 100 since the above date The daily average of bank clearings was $3s3 O00 OO0

COTTON.

NEW YORK. Dec 3--rhe Agricultural Department estimates this years cotton crop at ia,1eaooo bales. It is officially stated that this estimate does not include the production of linters. which is pros ably not less than 3oo.ooo bales. The fia- ures. therefore, may be accepted as tndi- cating . minimum of II. 900. And e m the cape of record breaking yields the de- partment has never failed to under esti- mAts the crop by from ten per cent so fifteen per cent, 1t is my opinion that Tor practical purposes today.s crop estimate may bs taken q indicating commercia' crop of at ieast 3,7so, 900 bales and possibly is.oss.eoo. With such supply it i hard \ yisSbie surplus at the end of the year of It lsast a.ooo.ooo of American cotton. and and euch supply has never failed in the past to carry prices considerably below cents and sometimes e low as sM cents. I|ses no reason why history should not repeat itself. I advise holders to sell as prompt iy as possible and before spinners fully ap- preciate the tremendous advantage they now occupy in being able to make prac- tically their own prices for such cotton e they may have yet to purchase.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND pRoyIsIoNs.


 CHICAGO. Dec. 3-Official confirmation of the drouth damage in Ohio as shown by the State crop report emphasized strength in wheat here today. The close on the May delivery was up %c. Corn is down h @Ac. Oats are off hc. and provisions 2A @7hc.
 As result of bullish foreign markets the wheat market opened firm with May up k9hc to Sc at 1.10& to 1.10A G1. II. Among the factors that created strength abroad were indications of a decrease in worlds shipments. France asserted to be on an importing basis and was reported as having recently been buyer of India and Australian cargoes. more important ings of Argentine wheat for January and February shipments had been withdrawn. For the moment, however. the domestic sit- nation appeared rather less bullish, snow having fallen in some sections of the winter wheat country Receipts in the Northwest were also somewhat larger than last week. In consequence many traders were forced to ignore foreign conditions and were quite liberal sellers early. The result was a re- action in prices. May declining to 1.1O%. But the weakness was only temporary, a rally quietly occurred as soon as the sell ing pressure subsided. The predominatins tone of advices from the Southwest today anxiety regarding the winter wheat crop was increased by the Ohio report, which made the condition of growing wheat in that State 75, loss of 12 points within a month. This showing was quite enough to create considerable apprehension regarding the general effect of the prevailing dry weather through the idSt ndlI or the SeS- sion sentiment in the pit was bullish and prices gradually advanced. The market closed practically at the highest point of the day. After touching 1.1o% May closed at 1.10K@1.10%. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 10s.1oO bushels.
 Expectation of enlarged receipts in the near future the cause of persistent selling of May and December corn and not withstanding the firmness of wheat the market showed considerable weakness An other depressing factor was the excellent quality of arrivals. Out of 373 cars ceived today 233 cars graded No. bet ter and six wege of contract grade. re- vised estimate by the director of the weather and crop service of Iowa, showing an increase of 25.000.0o0 bushels in the total crop of the State was an additional bear influence. May opened unchanged to a shade higher at 45% to 45% @45%c. sold off to 45Ac and closed at 45% @45hc.
 Influenced by weakness of corn. bear raid was made on the oats market. result ing in 8 moderate decline in prices. May opened a shade to kc lower at 31M to 31M @31A. sold between 30% and SIX. closing at 31. Local receipts were 79 cars
 Profit taking by some of yesterdays buyers caused an easier feeling in provisions. Prospects of lower prices for corn was an influence owing to the weakness. At the close May pork was off 7hc at IS .12h @ 13. 15. Lard and ribs were each down 2hc at HIM and 6.s2M respectively.

 NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 3-The bureau estimate of 12.l62 900 bales exclusive of lint CTS was the feature of the day. and none other was needed a stimulant to activity. Our opening prices were from to 12 points under yesterdays close. The early selling being induced by the disappointing Liverpool market. Although spot sales were fairly large there. cables stated that the supply was plentiful and demand insufficient to sustain prices. further expressing the belief in permanent decline. After the bureau figures were published a decline of about $2. 50 per bale was observed. Around pres lent buying may follow and cause a steady If not a higher market temporarily. The crop has not been cheap one to raise. and should lower prices follow. a very small margin of profit will remain to the grower. This will result in decreased acreage an other season. Spinners well aware of these conditions and should liberally pro- vide for the future

NEW YORK. Dec. a.--rhe cotton market was very active and excited today. Liver pool which was due to come one point higher. was points lower at the hour Of the local opening.
 The local market opened lower and easy at decline of 1 @12 points Attention was, of course. directed exclusively toward pre- pairing for the Government estimate a little after the first hour and during the early trading prices shot up and down so irregularly that 1t was almost impossible tc keep track of the range of values. In general way, however. they averaged be- tween the opening and last nights close.
 As the hour of the report approached the market quieted down somewhat and ruled around last nights prices. Futures closed barely steady. with prices net 52@s7 points lower.
 Before the Government report was issued prices had worked down again to the low point of the session. The report when issued proved distinct surprise even to the bears. showing a crop of 12,16a0oo bales exclusive of linters. and prices broke about half cent e pound immediately following it's pub Iication regardless of the big decline that had taken place during the last month.
