NOTES. Tlie discussion of the world's fair bill by the house committee on foreign affairs has resulted in bringing forward a propo sition which it is suggested may aid i.n the selection of a site for the fair by the house. The committee has already de cided that it will report a bill leaving blank the name of the city where the fair shall be held, but it is feared that if it goes into the house in that shape and without some arrangement in advance to govern the method of selection of a site, uo agreement c an ever be reached. The senate committee to select the site for the quadro-ccntennial listened exposition, on Friday, to the cjaiuis of Washington city to be selected, as presented Secretary by District-Commissioner Douglas ; board Anderson, of the national of promotion of the three Americas exposition; Major Powell, chief of the geologic survey: Myron M.

Weddleburn, of Alexan dria, Va.. committee, appeared before the ways and means legislative on Saturday, as repre sentative of the committee of the national grange and farmers of the Virginia state grange to demand equal protection of farm, with iron and wool manufacturers. Ife said that in his opin ion protection protected manufacturers, and enabled them to form combinations and trusts, to take money out of the far mers’ pocket, but the grange recognized that the country had declared for pro tection, and he was not there to advocate free trade. He xvas for equal legislation, and the protec tion of farmers by means of bounties. He did not think the present system of taxation protected laborers to the value of a “row of pins.” TRADE TOPICS.

COTTON EXPORTS have been remarkably heavy for three months, and are now falling behind last year’s change, which is natural and must be expected to'continue. The movement of wheat has not been large in December, with prices comparatively low, and can higher hardly be expected to increase much xvith doubt. prices. The iron trade is still in offered Moderate lots are occasionally below current quotations, while in bar iron the feeling is less confident of late.
