In a Senate letter Treasury Secretary Carlisle estimates a year-end surplus of 22.65 million dollars rather than a deficit.

Cotton fabrics for spring feature superior Scotch ginghams with near rival quality from Whytlaw and sterling lines from David and John Anderson. Prices have fallen below fresh from-the-looms levels, signaling a marked drop in cost for these brands as fineness and finish improve yearly.
An advertisement lists multiple ginghams, dimities, sateens, crepes, and madras fabrics with per yard prices from 8c to 60c. It highlights new patterns from Whydaws and Andersons, silk finishes, and a focus on strong colorings. The copy promotes low costs and fresh imports for 1895 style garments.
