AUG 10. 1904 MONEY IN UNITED STATES The Circulation Statement issued by the U. S Treasury Department, showing the a mount of money in tbe ' United States, tbe several ' kinds and tbe sums bsld in tbe United States Treasury on August 1, 1904, and the amount in cir culation reached ' the Observer this Wednesday morning di reot from the Treasury Depart ment. This statement shows that on August 1, 1904 there were $2,818,711,947 in general stock of money in tb United States, of which f 1,342, 422, 740 was gold, $666,747,603 sil ver, $450,206,888 national bsuk notes and the remainder in greenbacks or treasury notes, There were held in tbe U. S, Treasury as assets ol tbe gov ernment on August 1, $272, 121,744. The amouut of money in circulation ia determined by deducting the money in tbe treasury from the general stock which being done, gives the circulation among the people on August 1, 1904 at $2,546, 589,503. The Treasury De partment, estimating the popu lation of the United States on August 1 at 81,982,000 gives the per capita circulation of $31.06, the largest since the government began. 300,000 UNIONISTS STAND IN Chicago, August 7. All the labor unions in Chicago have endorsed the stockyards strike. After listening to the stiikers' side of the controversy, which was pre.ented to them by Mio hael J Donnelly, president of tbe striking butchers' union, tbe Chicago Federation of Labor, whioh is composed of every labor organization in Chicago and has a membership of nearly 300,000, adopted resolutions to night pledging the morsl . and financial support of the federat ed body as long as the strike continues. Each member of the central body will be assessed a small sum per week and the whole amount will be turned over to tht striking unious to help in the support of the strik ers aud their families during the struggle with the packers. Tbe exact amount each member is to be assessed was left in tbe hands of a committee with or ders to report results tomorrow. The above figures look form-: idable, 300,000 is a large number of laborers and the fact that bo ; many have agreed to stand in with the butchers' unions in .,i, a..., o "T" success to them. But when the whole uumber of wage earners manu in 512,11 specified factures in the United States four years ago in 1900 is consid ered it will be seen that 300, 000 is a small proportion of the wage earners engaged in man uacturing in the United States. In 1900 there were 5,306,143 wage earners in tbe United States, who that year were paid $2,320,938 in wages. Of these, 395,110 wage earners were en gaged in the 88,360 factories in Illinois and were paid wages to tbe amount of 1191,510,962. The above figures do nt in clude agricultural laborers on on farms or miners engaged iu digging ores. In 1900 there were 3,578 male butchers in the Uuited Slates ten yeari old and OVer a j giro n j 1n aud 378 women and girls 10 years and over, makins 113.956 ' " ' butchers in tbe United States.. Marine insurance agnid i-c-lieve that wr rifk rales soon go up, though the rates for two weeks have rniMiiioil almost stationary. . Tliis opio id) is based oil the fact that it ia believed I hat the Kti-siuii neet is nreuarine to maxe an other rade on the cninmeree i t tbe Pacific iu the far east. That the large EuglMi in surance companies nre iu a position to know the conditions in the orient it beyond doubt, as they have correspondents in all the lcrge cities of the far east as well as the capitals of all the European countries, who are close to the sources of in formation.' Through these sources it is learned thrt the Vladivostok squadron is coaling and pre paring to make a second raid on the merchantmen crossing the Pacific. ' It is because of this fact that the rate on marine in surance for tbe far east lias not dropped since the arrival of the Shawmut at Yokohama PROHIBITION IN OREGON The prohibitionists seem in olined to take adiran'age of the new law passed by a vote of the people last June, and call elec tions, by petitions, in sereial counties in Oregon to have a vote on whether the county to having a test shall prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks in less quantities than a gallon It is announced that a peti tion is now being prepared iu Multnomah county for an elec tion under the new law, and there is talk of other counties and precincts doing likewise. Sugar Statistic". While the production of beet sugar has decreased about 13 per cent during the last two years, or from 6,760,000 metiic tons to 6,900,000 metric tons, that of cane sugir has increased during the same period from 4,063,000 metric tons to 4,437, 800 metric tons, or about 9 per oent. The Atlanta Constitution re marks that "Mr. Bryan cau do good work in the West." But he is doing excellent work North, South, East and West, wtth Paiker tryirg to hold him in. By no means confine the work of Bryan to the West. Commercial Tribune. HOUSE BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE. Butte Aug. 10 The residence ol Mrs Belle Powers was blown to piecis early today.
