The "American Agriculturist's" annnal review or the crop situation says that the harvest of 1803 In the United States is In many respects similar to that of three years ago, but with every prospect that homo con sumption and an increased foreign demand will also advance values so as to yield as large a net return to farmers as on the average of recent years. Present Indications point to A crop of l.TSn.lMSi.wsi bushels of corn.contratcd with l.(tto,(KK),0il la-t year, and over 2,i)0,nis,0iK bnliels in the Im it ruse yield of two seasom previous.

The corn crop has been greatly lnjund so fur lu rintr August. Kan sas will not raise more than half ncrop.hav lug but Very little except the Eastern quart er, and Nebraska's crop has been seriously curtailed. The wheat outturn will not exceei! 4 13,000 00O bushels, compared t . (II l.noo.i on busheli as the average for the i wo pa-t seasons and 40 -.OHO.!") bushels in IS: si.

The .4iiipWco A-rt'iftilttifiMt concludes that "the prospect for prices in the early future dopends more ui on the monetary situation than upon natural conditions, all of which point to causes that should result In higher prices."

BUSINESS GETTING BETTER. The Improvement of Last Week Be comes More Distinct and General. Tho Failures Are Fewer. R. i. Hun A Co.'s "Weekly Review of Trade" says: Tho improvement observed last week has become much more distinct and general. While actual transactions have increased but little, the change in public feeling is noteworthy. There are fewer failures, either of banks or of import ant commercial or manufacturing concerns than for sonic weeks past. The Secretary of the Treasury has stated that no legal objection exists to the use of sight drafts on New York lor small sum in stead of checks. The dillicultv of collections and ihe interruption of exchanges, how ever, are nearly as serious ss ever. The iiumhcr'of Industrial establishments resuming begins to compare fairly with the number stopping work. Many resumptions show that the stoppage wus reallv tempor ary, or that wage controversies "have been settled. Though currency is at a premium of 1 to 2 per cent.. the demand is less than a week ago. Receipts of gold from Europe during the past week have been il,7(Kl.0uJ, bin the Hank of Kngland has raised iis rule to 5 per cent., which is expected to stop further shipments of gold to this country, and the Hank of France has lost during tho past wi-ek about (l.msi.uOO.

Indians) Chairman of the Finance Committee, ad dressed the Senate In advocacy of'the bill re ported by him last Friday ribcontintiing the purchase of silver bullion. The speech was listened to with the giestest Interest and at tention. Nearly every Senator was in his eat, and the ealleiies contained the largest crowd of the session. At the con clusion of Senator Voorhees' effort Air. Ptiboisspoke In the inlerrstsof Ibesilverites, Mr. Palmer argued In Ihe suppotl of repeal. Hie bill was then laid aside and the Mon tana Senatorslilp ease taken up. but on a mntiou hy Mr. Mcpherson it was laid aside and the national bank bill considered. Mr. Slew art antagonized the position taken by Mr. Voorhees in a brief speech. A motion was offered by Mr. Peffer, and went over till to morrow, calling on the Secretary of Ihe Treasurv for a report as to whether national hanks In llnsti-n. New Yon and Phili delphia were being i-omlurted in vio lation of law. After a short executive ses sion Hie senate ndiourncti. Ilm st: The silver debate was continued until adjournment. FIITKrNTII p,v. Si:xatf. Mr. Pasco (Hem), of Florida, gave notice 111 the senate lo-dav of n substi tute to Mr. Vest's minority bill for sil.er coinage at the rale of '0 to 1. The substi tute proposes a commission of three citizens of the I'uiteil Slates to he appointed by the president to ascertain and determine by the first of January next a lair and just raiio between the actual intrinsic value of silver and gold as n basis for the tree coinage of silver. After the result is reported to the secretary of the Ireusury, the weight of pure sou siaiiiiaro silver 10 ne votiiaincn in dol lars, halves, quarters and dimes is to be fixed and determined by him, and silver is to be ruined. 'The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Peffer calling: on the Secretary of Ihe trens ury for information os to whtdhrr the tin llonal banks of New York, Boston and Philadelphia were conducting their affairs at present in violation ol law regarding the amount of their reserve, tho payment of checks and the rates of Interest' chargrd was then taken up on a motion to refer it to the committee on finance, made by Mr. Hoar, llep., of Masachuelis. A number of Senators talked on the subirct and the debate was the liveliest of Ihe extraordinary session. Mr. Hill undertook to draft some modification of tho rtsolution. but before he had completed it the morning hour ex pired and the resolution went over without action. It took its place on the calendar where it can only be reached again in regu lar order or upon minion supported by a majority vole. A Iter some routine business the senate adjourned. Hoi sr. The silver debate was continued din ing the entire day and night session, without anv definite action being tuken, when the House adjourned. HI.XTKKXTII HAY. SrifATK The gieat financial question was debuted until adjournment. Hoi sk The noted silver debate was con tinued at both day and night sessions. si:vi:xtki:xtii pay. Sknatk. The speech made by Mr. Hill, of New York, in the Senate lo day was re markable in many respects. The speech occupied iu its delivery a little over an hour and a half and attracted clo-e attention. Alter a few introductory words Senator Hill began by enumerating the causes ot the present distress. One is the panic fear that falls upon nations every 20 years and which no prudence will avert. Another was the Hooding of the money centers with watered stock by persons in a haste 10 get rich. A third has been overproduction and an unfavorable balance of trade. A fourth is the uneasiness ol' the protected Industries. A fifth was the concerted actitin of mo nometalists to disgrace mid degrade silver. A sixth is the Sherman silver purchase law. As to the trouble caused by the fearof tar iff changes, be said, there Is no relief for it "unless ihe dominant party abandons lis principles and surrenders iu advance lo tho interests which were defeated at the last election. The Democratic party Is pledged to tiiritT reform, and it must redeem its pledge, come what may." He adds that, of course, there will be some friction, "but the people perfectly understood the question 111st fall, and they voted with their eyes open. Our course is onward, and wo shall not retreat." As to the Sherman law, he said that no one defends it and few apologise for It. On the question of ratio ho said that when the policy of bi-metullism is definitely settled it will be time enough to take up that subject, Ho was of opinion, though, that any change should be in the way of a diminished ratio, as l.i to 1, which would enable us to recoin at a profit and place our silver pieces on a level with those of other countries, He concluded his speech with a criticism of the President s special message as not explicit, and as leaving the impression that he was aiming to e-tablish a single gold standard. Vpon the conclusions of Mr. Hill's speech Mr. Stewart, Republican, of Nevada, spoke on tho silver question. He declared that the bill of the Finance Committee was to practically demonetise silver. No man should be deceived on that point. The promise in the hill was an insult to the in telligence of tho American, people. The Sherman act hud not been executed accord ing to its spirit. If it hud been, it might have done good; it certainly would not have done harm. This hill, Mr. Stewart exclaimed would not puss. No Senator could vote for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act without violating his pledges to his consti tuents. They had declared on ull occasions tbut they were bimetiillixis; but this bill as monometallism. And when under it the price of silver was brought down 10 20 md 3D cents an ounce, there would be nothing left lor Hie people but torise in their might and break the chains with which the itolil coiitractionists had bound them and make ihuir own money. It might not be silver; it would mit be gold. Notice was jiven out that one or the financial meas ures would be pressed to a vote next week, snd Ihe Senate adjourntj until Monday. Hoi sk. Nothing sensational transpired In the house today. Aside from the sweches I y Messrs Burrows and Springer, there were none thai commanded the attention of the members, and alter a dull session the house adjourned. i.ii.ii tei nth pay. Skkatr.
