During the year the labor ot finding the Sreatest demand for the surplus farm pro ucts ot the United States has developed out aide of their limits, has been persistently and intelligently alert and active. During the nine months ending Scptembei SO, 1894. the farmers and stock-raisers of the United States have sold, and there have been exported, to the United Kingdom of Great Brltlan 306,010 live beet cattle, valued at ad, 500,000. During the same period of 1898 only 182.611 live beef entile from the United States were taken to the lirillsli markets, at a valuation ot 10,631.000. The small con sumption of Americiiu beef in England Inst year was duo to restrictions imposed by law, and also to the low prices of doinestiu beef in ngland. The recapitulation shows that the United Kiogdom paid to American producers during the year for breadstufls, provisions, cotton nnd tobacco more tbnu C324,000,00a That it to say, the Dritlub market bought more thsD one-halt of all the farm oxporu of the United (status during that year.

Many of Them have been eudiug for years, and bad buun examined one or more times prior to the preseut ad ministration. Upon examiuiitiuu It had beeo found in many iustnuces that proof was not (iiflloleut to sustain a pension. T he attention of the applicants having been called to the defect, in some cases efforts bad been mnde to supply tbe needed testimony. The great discrepancy between the number of eueg now being allowed and the number allowed two or more years a.-ogrow out of the fact that the pending ensos constitute remnant of au Immense number of claims of which those well established buvo been adjusted.

In bli annual report, Mr. Eokels, Comp troller of tbe Currency, says that proposi tions will bo submitted to Cougress to refor the whole questlou of a bnnklng and currency system to a commission to be created by Con gress and appointed by tbo President. The report shows thnt during the yenr end ed Octolier 81 but 00 national bunks, with a capital stock of 5.iN5,0(K), were organize,!, the smnllest number chartered, as well ns the minimum umouut ol capital In any year since 1H79.

The Tide Turned. Tno annual report of Superintendent Stump of tbe Immigration Bureau, for the year end ing June 30, 1SU4, shows a very material fall ing off In the number of Immigrants arriving ill this country. Ha citlmates'that since Oc tober, 1:193, the eiodua of foreign steerage pu4ugers from the United Suites has been greater than Hie number arriving, and he therefore concludes that numerically there uow are fewer foreigners In the United States, who come oa steerage puueugers, than there were at the end of the Usual yenr, 18U3. From the tables accompanying tbe report it appears that during Ilia lust fiscal year 2HH,o20 Immlgntiits arrived in this country. Of these 245,031 were lundod uud 2,389 were debarred and deported.

's weekly review of trnde saysi Domestic trnde nnd Industry hnve nol been a little influenced by the heavy defe cation In one bank and minor dlsordors In two others, nor by the failure of tho Frie railway to meet Interest ou Its bonds.
