OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Sugar Bounty Payment. The Ad
ministration's Candidate.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
The principal event of this week in Wash
ington was the hearin; of the arguments in
favor of the payment of the sugar bounty,
by Comptroller Bowler. The arguments
were thorough and well made. Comptroller
Bowler has not handed down a decision, and
from the talk of those who are in his confi
dence. he may not decide the questions ar
gued further than to deeline approving the
payment of the money appropriated by con
gress. until the constitutionality of the sugar
bounty shall have been affirmed by the
courts. Sbould he do that it will be quite a
while before the money is pai-J, even if the
courts decide in favor of the bounty.
According to the latest political gossip,
Senator Vilas, of Wisconsin. who was suc
cessively Postmaster General and Sacretary
of the Interior in President Cleveiand's first
cabinet, is being groomed for one of the ad
ministration's candidates for the democratia
Presidential nomination. The programme
is, according to the gossips, it the very pro
bable event of the convention deilining to
compel President Cleveland to again botome
a candidate--it would not require more
tWn 400-horse power-to give the conven
tion the choice between Seeretary Carlisle
and Senator Vilas, the intimation beIng con
veyed previously to the delegates that either
of them would be acceptable to the adminis
tration. It is said that it has been intimated
to ex-Seeretary Whitney that h-s name
might also go before the convention as an
administration candidate, Lnd that he very
promptly declined.

production of oranges and lemons in the
United States. however, not only removes
the hope of increasing exportation to this
country but it causes the fear that eventualiy

must give way to a considerable extent to
the American product.

The aetivity in iron interests continue and
Southern furnaees are being pushedi to meet
the demand for iron. Col. A. M. Sheok, of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Railroad, the
largest coal and irtin (,ompany in the South,
in a letter to the Manufacturers' Record,
says: "The business movement, starting as
it did four months ago, has grown in volume
and ineteased in momentum until to-day it
has practically touched every village and
hamlet in America. The fact that it is so
universal is the best evidenre of its sthbility
and its certainty to continue. at least until
we have passed the normal condition of busi
ness. Notwithstanding the recent advances
in iron toe in:licatious for a steadily increas
ing consumption and. as a natural conse
quence, increased prices, have not been so
manifest at any time since the revival started
as it has been dning the past two or three
days."
ik special to the Manufacturers' Record
says that the contracts secured by the Annis
ton. Ala.. Pipe and Foundery Company for
iron pipe to be shipped to Yokohara,Japan,
a-gregate thirty thousand tons. It is the
largest contra't for iron for foreign ship
ment ever se.mred by any American house,
and was secured1 in competition with the
leading manmufneturers of Euronj.

DUN'S REPORT ENCOURAGING.
The lIndustrles of the Country Make
Progress.
Ri. G. Dun & Co., of New !ork, in their
weekly review of trade, say:
Buisiness contirnes unusually active for
mid-summer, and though there is perceptible
rekzation there are no signs of re-action.
The one change of great importance which
the past week has brought is eminently help
ful-the Amicable settlement between coal
miners and employers in Western Pennsyl
vania, Ohio an:1 Indiana. It is said that
about 100.000 :nen will have their wages in
creased aifter Oct. 1st by this adjustment,
and while the enlargement of purchasing
power is of consequence, it seems even more
Important that a chronic cause of contro
versy has been removed by the new agree
ment as te company stores. There is no im
portant ebange in crop prospects and at this'
time no news is eminently good news.'
Taken altogether the crops of the year prom
ise so muc'h better than was expected a
month ago that the effect is highly encour
aging, although the crops except corn will
not be full.
The out-go of gold continues, and this ex
cites some comment, because it is felt that
the bond syndicate could arrest the move
ment at once if it pleased. probably by reduc
ing the rate of exchange.
Speculation has been more successful In
cotton than in any other product during the
past week, and has lifted the price an eighth.
although it cannot be said that the prospect
as to yield has definitely changed. Some in
jury has evidently been sustained from ex
cessive rains and the government report
commands a little more attention.
The industries continue to make progress,
and higher prices for iron and steel products
prove that the supply has not yet out-run
the demand. Bessemer pig is a shade weak
er, but gray forge has advanced about60
cents and finished products are remarkably
fIrm with further advance in steel beams to
1.6 cent and in angles to 1.5 cent and in bar
iron to 1.3 cent. The Carnegie works at
Homestead broke the record by turning out
in July 43,000 tons of steel, of which 17,150
were of beams.
Sales of wool are not as much inflated by
speculation as they were during the first half
of July. but they still considerably exceed
the actual consumption in the manufacture.
Prices are very firm, and holders who bought
enormous quantities a month ago in expec
tation of a rise appear to be looking for a
further advance. But woolen goods show
igns of weakening, and there is much com
plaint of foreign competition and under-val
uations, especially in medium and lower
qualities, while in'worsted the tendency of
prices is upward. Some staple cotton goods
have again advanced in prices, and the mar
ket is unusually strong for the season.
The shipmrnnts of boots and shoes continue
larger than in any previous year, but there
is very little new business. andx~ mnostG 40
manufa..turers a-re getting near 5e end of
ter ordas, whit,> many lrc discharged
part o)f their hads. P'rices are firmly mamn
taind. and there is a'ctivity in leather,
though it is r.eported that in hides prices at
the West show as little weakness.
The failo re~s in .July show liabilities amount
to $1.78.510. .f which $2,540,075 were ol
manufa -turin'r andl 6,283.173 of trading
con-rs. Fasihires for the wveek were 225 im
the U'itedl States against 264 last year and
43 in Cana-la agaLinst 51 last y-ear.
The Southern MXay Buy It.
A Columbia. S. C.. special to the Atlanta
Constitution says: "A prominent official of
the Southern Rlailway Company, in Colum
bia few days ago. speaking of the Port
Royal and Western Carolina railway, which
is to be sold in October under order of the
ourt. said that the Southern railway was
sure to be the purchaser: that as the Central
road of Georgia held the majority of the
bonds of the Port Royal and Western Caro
lna the Somuthern was in decidedly the bes
position to buy the r.tad.

Hloweli E. JTackson on the UnitedI States Su
