was the government crop report, the
advice as TO spring wheat being better
than expected. The indications now
are for total wheat crop of 100000
600 bushels, against harvest last year
of 737 100000 bushels. This suggests
a shrinkage of about 25,000,000 bushels
as a result of poorer condition than
year ago. An oats crop of l ,021, OOO,OOO
bushels is indicated, or about 10000
600 bushels in excess of last year, while
the outlook for barley is for crop OF
179 100000 bushels, or about 100000
bushels In excess of last year. There
is also a probability of big hay crop,
although no returns for this product
have thus far been furnished. For
cotton, the outlook is about 100000
bales, or fully 100000 more than last
year. In all parts of the country there
has been a larger acreage titled, and
conditions are such as to induce farm
ers everywhere to raise the very larg-
est product per acre possible. This
means that the country will be favor
ed with abundance in quantity, and
that farmers, though receiving lower
prices than a year ago, will neverthe-
less obtain liberal net results. High
prices for meats may continue for
period, since more time is required for
increasing supplies; but it is known
that consumption of meats has been
materially checked, and very consid-
cradle increase in the supply Of hogs
will occur this years which is already
affecting the price of such products.
The liquidation which has recently
taken place in grain and cotton is ben
efioial in more ways than one. 1t will
tend to lower the cost of living. put
an end to dangerous speculation, and
facilitate more normal conditions in
our foreign trade. Already imports
are declining and exports increasing as
the result of lower prices; and the
drift of our foreign trade, which has
so long been abnormal and unfavor-
able, is returning 10 the normal. Nor
is there any likelihood of an early re-
turn to recent conditions. Europe also
is being favored with large crops.
which will tend to keep down food
prices abroad, and prevent injurious
upward manipulation in American mar
kets. One of the worst features for
some time past has been the position
of our foreign commerce; a situation
which impressed Europe much more
unfavorably than it did ourselves. For
a long period European bankers view
ed the tendencies here with uneasiness,
and our credit abroad was undoubtedly
impaired by our inability to pay for
imports with merchandise rather than
gold. The change in tendencies which
is now taking place is fundamental and
AS soon as Europe sees
that we are in a position to retain our
gold and ship produce instead, our
credit abroad will rise and the effect
must be beneficial to ourselves.
Should we require gold next autumn,
as is probable, we will have no diff
Guilty in drawing the same. The great
European banks have all been accumu-
lating supply Of the precious metal,
and indications are that we will be
able to build up our gold reserves dur
ing the coming fall and winter

Will Recover $2,o0o,oo0 For the Government in Lost
 Customs Duties. GUILTY ONES ANXIOUS To Settle With "Uncle Sam" and Have Made Pr0p0saIS-Enforc-
 ing the Law.

New York, Nov. 3.--Within few days Collector William Loeb will submit to the Treasury Department at Washington compromise propos- als that have been made to him by several of the largest importers of New York for the settlement out of
 court for discrepancies his experts have found in customs duties paid by
 them to the government on under- valued valuations.
 The collector declined today to give the names of the persons or the firms involved, but said that he ex- pected to recover for the government, by series of compromise settle ments between a million and half
 and two million dollars. Two of the compromise proposals he will sub- init to Secretary MacVeagh About
 $500, 1000 will be turned over to the
 treasury in full settlement of the amount provided, of course, that the Secretary agrees to accept the prof
 fered amounts without forcing the
 courts to take civil or criminal ac- tion as has been done in numerous other cases.
 Collector Loeb has been working on many big cases of false valuation at
 this port for months. His experts have ove~hauled the books of score or more of the best known import CTS in the country with the result of forcing the person and firms under investigation to make full confession Iof their guilt F It is probable tllaaz. the names oftthe guilty persohs Will never be made public and that they will be permitted to go free after they have disgorged a portion of their announced today at the Federal building in the names of Judges Holt, Hough and Hand, thereafter the prison as well as the financial pen- alties prescribed for smugglers and other customs swindlers will be rig idly enforced.
 The first victim of the new policy already is beginning to serve sem tence of nine months in addition to paying a fine. Phillip Feyasta, a professional musician, was convicted Wednesday in the United States cir- cult court on the charge of import ing a harp from London without pay ing duty on 1t, and sentenced to a term of Imprisonment of nine months on Blackwell's Island. Fevasta pur- chased harp for his own use in which case 1t would have been en-s, titled to free entry. He sold the instrument to one of his pupils, how eve-. For this he was Indicted on 8 charge of swindling the government.
