Special correspondence from Washington notes the U S Bureau of Statistics in the Adams Building on F Street compiles vast monetary data and demographic figures. The piece warns against trusting statistics alone, cites Dingley Reed and Sherman as master statisticians, and details how farmers face uncertain prices amid global gold flows and currency shifts. It highlights a chart summarizing U S financial and commercial statistics 1867 to 1893 and notes the need for cautious interpretation of figures.
