Eepresentatives of the Brokers Fight the Bntterworth Bill. FINANCIAL TBODBLE PREDICTED If the Operations in Futures Are Stopped by Congress. TH2 SEME AKD THE WOELFS PAIE "Washis CTOlf, April 11. An interesting hearing was held to-day by the House Com mittee on Agriculture on Mr. Butterworth's bill to prevent dealings in options and futures. There were present delegations from the Hew York Produce and Cotton Exchanges, the Chicago Board of Trade, ana the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, all ol them to protest against the passage of the bill, which has already been recom mended by the committee. Murray Kelson, one of the Commissioners of Cook county, 111., was the first speaker representing the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. Kelson said that the Chicago Board of Trade, and all exchanges in the country, were in sympathy with the objects of the bill as expressed in the first section to abolish trading in privileges ("puts and calls") and bucket shop dealings. But to enforce the provisions against trades made for future delivery of the goods would be to force out of business small dealers and con centrate the trade in the hands of large cap italists who could afford and were able to purchase crops and hold them for a rise. A DISASTER PREDICTED. These small dealers act largely as agents for the farmer and buyer both. To stop sales for future delivery, Mr. Nelson said, would be to interrupt and disarrange the entire financial system of the country. The bankers of the country move its crops and depend upon the transactions of small deal ers in country towns for the basis of their transactions. He proceeded to explain in detail the operation by which the grain reached the market from the producer, in which operation the farmer, the local agent, the broker in the money center and the banker were all enraged. Mr. Kelson repeated that the result of the bill would be to crush out the small dealers and place the farmer at the mercy of the large capitalist, who can buy cash grain; but they will buy at such a price that they can hold it until Gabriel blows his horn without sustaining loss. In answer to a question by Mr. Allen, of Michigan, Mr. Kelson said that local banks could not sup ply and cculd not get sufficient money to move the croDS of the country, nor conld the local dealer or agent. It must be sup plied from the money centers. A. rEETINEKT QUESTION. Eeferring to the taxing section, Mr.Kel son asked why, if the committee believed the business to be honest, a license was re quired? Certainly not for the revenue to be derived. If the business is to be made a penal offense, why not say so in the first in btance, and declare it unlawful iu so many words? George C. Martin, of the New York Prod uce Exchange, spoke against the bill. He Eaid that the farmer never before received to great per cent of the value of his crops as now. Twenty years ago the cost of trans porting a bushel of wheat from Chicago to 'New York by lake and canal was lSi cents; now the rate is 5 9-10 cents. It may be asked, continued Mr. Martin, why are prices now so low, why commissions so re duced, freights reduced, and the export trade the largest ever known? CEOPS TOO LARGE. In his opinion it was because of the recent " series of large crops from which had been accumulated in store 200,000,000 bushels of corn more than ever before in the history of the country. The merchant bat suffered losses along with thefarmer. In 1875 the commissions on a bushel of corn amounted to - cents; now the entire crop of the country was marketed on a commission of H cent If the bill passes Mr. Martin said that three-quarters of the export trade of the country would be proscribed. J. O. Bloss, of the New York Cotton Ex change, read an argument against the pass age of the bill prepared by a committee of that exchange, prefacing it with a protest against the bill signed bj the leading bank ers of New York, in which they state that the passage of the bill would work great damage to legitimate trade, and that the banks find their risks of advance under the present system of business less than under the old. From the argument of the com mittee the following extract is made: NOT SO VIOLENT. The effect ol toe trading for future delivery has been to give the markets of the world a less violent character: haTe reduced the risks of merchants and Dankers, and at the same time have secured to the planters of cotton a higher ranee of values than was the case be Jore the existence of the method of trading for future delivery. No legislation has yet been able to reculate values of anything, aod as a striking illustration of this fact may be cited the law which Tia passed by Congress to pro hibit public trading in cold. The effect of that legislation bad for the purpose of reducing the premium on gold, was to advance the price from 2 20 to J2 8a. The repeal of the law re sulted in the immediate decline of the price to that from which it started. Mr. Bloss was followed by J. W. Labouisse. who with General J. "J. Hazard, of Bhode Island, and Ii. F. Berje reore sented the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. He stated that he fully indorsed Mr. Bloss' statements, and continned the argument that the system of contracts for futnre delivery had greatly reduced the fluctuations in the price of cotton. In proof of this he referred to the conditions surrounding the cotton crop of 1889. That was the largest one ever raised in the United States 7,600,000 bales. Yet the fluctuation iu prices amounted to only 1J cents a pound, and '95 per cent of the ciop has been already moved. MONET FOE THE PLANTERS. The lowest price touched 9J cents was in ucioDer, ana jsir. JLabouisse expressed the opinion that had it not been tor the system of contracts for future delivery, the planter would have been compelled to take a cent less at that time. Upon the question of speculation Mr. Labouisse said that it the future contract system was wiped out the exchanges of New York and New Or leans would cease to exist. There are but five exchanges in the world where cotton "futures" are dealt in Liverpool, New York, New Orleans, Bremen and Havre. To close out New York and New Orleans would be to transfer the business to Europe and build up the exchange there. The business will go, he said, cotton will be raised and sold, and if our merchants and dealers are not allowed to buy and sell the dealers in Europe will do so. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Labouisse asserted that, owing to the peculiar conditions and necessities of the cotton trade, the producer could not sell directly to the consumer, even if he wanted to, be cause he cannot tell what grade his cotton will be when gathered. He was illustrating the modus operandi ot trading by a case in his own experience, where he had sold to the agent ot n Havre broker for a French cotton mill, a large cumber of bales of cotton. JUST THAT KIND. "'"Was the cotton in existence at the time the trade was made?" asked Chairman Funston. "It was not." "That is exactly the kind of transaction we are reaching after," responded the Chair man. The proceedings of the committee were in terrupted by a yea and nay vote in the House. As the members left the room they were engaged in an animated discussion with the visiting delegations upon the merits of the lecent failure of Moses Fraley, the St. Louis broker, who went down under a' too heavy load of wheat. The committee men were arguing that that failure was a justification of the bill, and the visitors en- ucavurcu m enow inat it was a mere mci-1 5iM feCtfae trade; aad.wat.notitn illattra-' tion of the general methods or experience of dealers. Chairman Funston says that no more hearings will be had. PLANS FOETHE FAIR. The Senate Propose! to HnTe Any Number of Celebrations The Chicago BUI as Amended In the Committee. Washington, April 11. Just before the Senate adjourned this afternoon Senator Hawley reported the World's Fair bill, with amendments agreed upon by the com mittee. The first one was to section 5, relat ing to the acceptance of the site by the National Commission, with the provision that the site and buildings shall be deemed adequate to the purposes of the exposition and the further proviso, "That said com mission shall be satisfied that the said cor poration has an actual bona fide and valid subscription to its capital stock of at least 55,000,000." The amendment inserts after the word "stock," the words "which shall secure the payment." The following was proposed as a new section: Section 8 The President is hereby cm powered and directed to hold a naval review in New York harbor in April. 1893, and to ex tend to foreign nations an invitation to send ships of war to join the United States navy in the rendezvous at Hampton Roads, and pro ceed thence to said review. The President is further empowered and directed to make Ar rangements for the unveiling of a statue of Christopher Columbus at Washington with ap propriate ceremonies and civic and military parade, under bis general direction, after said naval review, and not less than five days be fore the opening of said Exposition, and to in vite the attendance thereat ot foreign repre sentatives. THE DEFEXDAKT WAS DROWSED. Ills Forfeited Bail Will Now be Relumed to His Bondsmen. New York, April 1L Olif Fearing, master of a steam vessel plying between Kew York and San Domingo, was arrested in August, 1883, for smuggling cigars. He was brought before the United States Com missioner of the district, and after an ex amination was released on 2,000 bail with the understanding that, after a trip to San Domingo, he was to come back and stand trial on the charge. Months passed and Fearing did not appear. It was supposed that he had ran away from his troubles, and the Commissioner forfeited the bail. Yesterday a lawyer appeared in the United States Circuit Court, where Judge Benedict was sitting, and asked that the forfeiture of the bond be repealed, as it had been discovered that the vessel containing Fearing had never reached San Domingo, and that the crew had never afterward been heard of. Seven years had elapsed, and the District Attorney said that he has no doubt that the vessel and her crew were lost at sea. Judge Benedict thought the request a proper one, and granted the order asked. ESC0DEAGIKG COHUEECB. Philadelphia!)! Ask Congress to Grant Sub sidies lo American Merchant Vessels. Philadelphia, April 11. A rather slimly attended meeting was held to-day in the Board of Trade rooms in response to a call requesting the attendance of business men at a meeting in the interest of the passaco of the bill now before Congress to encourage American commerce by giving a subsidy of 30 cents per ton for every thou sand miles of travel by American vessels, sail or steam, between American and for eign ports. Resolutions were adopted urging the adoption of the subsidy bill, and providing for the appointment of a committee of busi ness men of Philadelphia to present the res olutions, and "a memorial for a line of steamers from this port to the west coast of Africa, to both houses of Congress for their action during the present session, and to urge the passage of the bill referred to with such proper restrictions as will secure the advantages of the same to our commercial centers and the country at large."

Jameson, of Warren county, O., who has been on trial at Lebanon 'for sev eral days for an indictment which charged him with embezzling a large amount of the county funds, was to-day acquitted. Indigestion IS not only a distressing complaint, of itself, but, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system en feebled, is the parent of innumerable maladies. That Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockwa Centre, Mich.: "Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly bad strength to drag myself about All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at aii. "Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving re lief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapa rilla I could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength im proved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well ' woman, able to attend to all household dnties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PKEPAEED ST Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mas; Woe$l;ixbottIei,$5 Worth $5 a bottle.
