I QUEST! LARGE TREASURY SURPLUS. Treasury Ex-cess Over Dirbursementi Likely to Arise to The Ex tent of $80,000 000. The fact that notwithstanding the Inst Congress mado a cut et $ 10.000, 000 In taxation the surp'is thus far lil.i year Is about 117 0(0 000, with he prospect that at the end ol the year t will rench SS 't.noo.ooo. makes It pos sible that further reduct-.i ns In rev- lines may have to be considered this winter. When nome war ttxes were epealrd and others reduced at the last session, it was the Rir.trnl belief thnt tho level, oe lnws would not have to bo again tinkered with for some years to come, but the F tat reduc tions In the government s expendi tures thus far to $10,000 000. while the receipts nave only docw-asod about $4,000,000. ma make futtier steps necessary. Tne accumulation of too arge a surplus Is not law. led by the treasury, as money Is thus i.iawn from hnnncls of trade nnd held iule, some- times causing a stringency in the money markets. There was one a month ago, which Secretary Gage re lieved by buying bonds nnd lncreas- ng the amount of public lunds held by the government dcpoFl'orlcs, but this, of course, was only 1; temporary expedient and one which ; lar as the buying of bonds Is comti.ied might, If persisted In force the pi ice of gov- riiment securities up to si.cb a figure thnt it would be nnprolltt blc to re- doom them. The Secretary only pro posed to buy $:i),noo.ooo, nr.O this sum was slightly overbid belore the treas ury gave notice that no mire would be purchased. As a result the avail able cash Iml nice in the treasury has increased from about $MI,t'00,000 on September 30 to $1611,015,431 It is believed that Secretary Gage will rec ommend further reduct'onu In taxa tion and that tho President will In dorse It There Is one thing, however, which may tend to prevent further re duction in revenues, ard that is the possible passage of a large : Ivor and harbor bill at the comlig session. Tho surplus c the close of the last fiscal year was over $V0 000,000, but had the river and harbor bill passed last winter $40 000,000 of that amount would have been expended for Inter nal Improvements. As ti e bill passed tho House It ca-rled aprn nations ag gregating $59,000,000, bin the Senate cut this down to $49,000,000. Con gress adjourned before tho final vote on the bill wim taken.

Encouraging Feature of Business Sit uation Normal Conditions . Are Now Restored. R. G. Dun & Co's weekly review of trade says: Normal conditions have been fully restored In the distribu tion of merchandise, the placing ot delayed orders stimulating thefew lines that appeared to halt. One of the most gratifying features of the busi ness situation is the pronounced pref erence for the better grades of goods, clearly indicating the improved finan cial condition of consumers. Resump- t'on of work progressed rapidly In the steel Industry since the settlement ot the labor controversy, and there is lit tle discord between employer and em ployed In other lines. Stability of prices, without Inflation, Is the rule, except where the unusual size of crops Introduces a special factor. Steel production Is now progressing at nearly the average rate. There are Interruptions and delays through In ability to secure special lines of ma terial, and higher prices are quoted for both steel and Iron bars, steel billets and some other shapes. In pig Iron there was the greatest activity since th strike began, most brands reaching higher prices. Sales ot 35,000 tons Bessemer at valley furnaces were re ported, equal to $lti delivered at PlttBburg. Other large orders were under nego tiation, and producers look tor a rising market. Higher prices for billets were partially nominal, owing to the im possibility of securing deliveries. A record breaking output of steel rails is practically assured for 1901. and the new year will open with an unpar alleled volume of business on the books. Plates and structural mater ial are very strong. The market for footwear is still on a strong basis. Leather and hides still reflect tho heavy demand for finished products, and exports are also a sua- raininc runt,,.,. t- .. i i - n tbM.uiQ, nuns were well engaged as a rule, much better news being received from cotton spin ners at the north, and southern mills are busy, though there is lesa night work. Wool is quiet but Arm. Steadiness In quotations of corn at the present high level Is all that pro ducers could desire. Makiag full al lowance for the smaller yield, and the decrease In exports, which has thus far been much greater proportionately, thre does not appear to be satisfac tory reason for the rise ot 15 cents over last year's figures and 25 cents over the price at this date in 1899. Shipments from the Atlantic soast tor the week were 728.020 bushels, against t 1,560,018 bushels last year, and 2,854, 477 bushels two years ago. Wheat la well sustained and still bet ter prices are promised by the heavy export movement.
