By the Foreigner*.
The Crop of 1S02-1803.
The last crop ending' August 31, as
made up by the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange is 6,703.000 bales, hundreds
omitted. While this will decide for our
friends who guessed on the cigars, the
figure* as made up bv the Commercial
Chronctle will be slightly different, and
the latter are official and settle nil
wagers, guesses, etc.
The Financial Situation.
Secretary Carlisle has ordered that
the United States mints at Philadelphia
and San Francisco be fully manned
and the full capacity of both be util
ized in coining gold bullion.
The treasury possesses from 185.000,000
to $90,000,000 of gold bullion, which is
"art cf the reserve ef *199,000.009.
bars cannot be used as’ currency, so it
hss been decided In the present need
to coin the bullion on hand into $2.50
and $5 and $10 gold pieces, preference
being given to the two last denomina
tions.
The coinage capacity of the Phila
delphia mint, it is stated, will be be
tween $5,000,000 and $S.ouuioo a month.
There are $20,000,000 of ifflu In the Fir!-
adelphia mint, $15,000,000 being in one
vault, where it has remained for fifteen
years. The treasury Is now paying out
gold coin all over the country and stands
more in need of gold coin than hereto
fore.

Washington, Sept. 3.—The senate
gb»ws no disposition to shirk the re
sponsibility placed upon it by th; house
to pass the bill to repeal the purchosthg
clause of the Sherman silver law. Mr.
Voorhees has given frequient notice that
he will press the repeal bill at all times
tmtil it a* disposed of. It is expected
that Mr. Hale's proposition that the
senate meet at 11 o'colck daily will be
accepted and thus gradually, but firmly,
the pressure will bs brought to bear up
on the silver men -who hold out in the
fight against the repeal. If they are
disposed to talk from this out they will
bo allowed to do so. but whenever there
is an intermdseibn Senator Voorttcea will
probably be found persuasively sug
gesting a vote on some amendment and
all the time seeking to bring the ques
tion to a final vote, the favorable Issue
of -which he does hot appear to have any
doubt.
Formal announcements of speeches to
be made have been given by Senators
Cullotn. Stewart and Mills—the first
for tomorrow. Senator Stewart for Tues
day and Senator Mills for Wednesday.
It is pipbable ak» that Senator Mi'uJhell
of Oregon will address th.1 senate on
the silver question before the week ex
pire.
Tb. House Programme-
The house, instead of adopting the
code of rules recommended by the com
mittee on rules In one session, as i t was
expected would be done, spent the
whole of last week after Monday In
debate upon the committee's report
without coining -to any conclusion. Much
of the opposition to the rules was pure
ly fictitious and was aroused with the
belief that white thus engaged the
house would at least be saved from
doing any damage or anything which-
the country or it might regret. A3 there
was nothing Immediately demanding At
tention it waai felt that the members
could make haste elowlja and the full
and free, if not discursive, discussion of
the proposition of the committee and
the amendments offered by others were
not antagonized, but a week having
been 'thus spent, the member* of tho
house now b»i»>ve that .all that has
been granted In the way of debate that
ie necesrary or desirable, and will make
an effort to secure final action on the
report on Wednesday, the day to which
the house was adjourned. Should they

How to avoid Alum and Ammonia Baking Powders-
First, All powders offered at twenty-five cents or less a
pound can safely be discarded as Alum, for a Pure Cream of
Tartar Powder cannot be sold at such price.
Second, Avoid all brands labeled “Absolutely Pure ”
Chemical analysis, as revealed by the Scientific American report
proved that brands so labeled contained, in every instance
either Ammonia or Alum. The first aim of a dishonest man'
