MIR. CARLISLE'S PLAN,
For Il Revision of the COuntry's Cur.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 15-By the
close vote of to g. the committee on bank
ing and currency of the house decided to-
night to report Secretary Carlisle's plan
for a revision of the currency. Represen-
tatives Johnson, of Ohio, and Ellis, of
kentucky, Democrats voted with the Re-
publicans against reporting this PLAN The
report will be made on Monday; debate
will begin on Tuesday and the committee
on rules will be asked to fix the final vote
in the house for next Friday a D. m.
This conclusion was reported after a
spirited executive session of the committee.
1t has been in session for a week, hearing
officials and bankers the proposed re-
vision. The hearings closed today, and at
o'clock the committee held a private ses-
sion to determine on a program. Repre-
sentative BrOsius (Rep., Pa endeavOred to
secure further time for hearings, but his
motion to this effect was voted down. Half
an hour was given for re-caucus, by the
respective sides. At the Republican meet
ing it was agreed that their votes should
be cast together on all propositions. When
the full committee reassembled, Represen-
tative Hall Dem., MOI moved that the
Carlisle bill be reported. This prevailed by
a vote of to 8, as stated. Chairman
Springer announced that rhe Democrats of
the committee had agreed on a rule for
conducting the debate. ."1'his contemplated
reporting the bill Monday, general debate
Tuesday and Wednesday,, debate under the
five minute rule Thursday and Friday, and
vote at p. m. Friday. 1t was also
provided that the daily debate should be-
g gin at Il a: M and shat there should be
amendments would not be offered to the
Carlisle plan, but that it would be open to
amendment by any member on the floor
of the house 7'is'
The rule for debate catised a warm dis
cussion. Messrs. Johnson of Indiana and
Walker, of Massa chusetts. Republicans,
antagoniZed it on the ground that the bill
was being "railroaded'@ through congress
Mr.. Johnson moved an extension of the
house debate to 10 days. Mr.. Culberson
Oem) amended to seven days. Both mo-
lions were defeated. Thereupon the COM
mittee adjourned without agreeing to the
rule. Mr.. Springer stated. however, that
he would make the report in accordance
with the vote of the committee on Monday
and as the subject was privileged one,
would call it up Tuesday The committee
on rules is expected to fix next Friday for
the vote in accordance with the original
plan of the Democratic members of the
committee.

Chicago Market.

CHICAGO. Dec 1S-The market showed good
deal of strength most of the day in the face of de-
cidedy bearish influences. 1t was materially sup
ported by the strength at Minneapolis and Du-
luth which markets advanced q while other
markets were upon only sc to 14c. 1t is thought
by some that the northwestern markets
being manipulated owing to the comparative
scarcity of hard spring wheat and the ease with
which prices be put up. Others believe 1t
is the decreasing receipts and the competition
Of millers where naturally anxious to keep up
prices to make a market for their flour.
Bradstreet's statement showing increase in
the worlds visible of $780, 900 recalls to mind
the harvest in Australia where stocks have in

nearing completion. Soon the trade will turn
its back 1894 and begin to count the weeks
to the coming harvests. 1t will watch the big

prove important factor but just at present
there seems to be little to encourage longs or
discourage shorts.

The Local Wheat Market Strong
English and Continental Markets
Weak-HOme Conditions an Enix-
ma.
MINNEAPOLIS CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE, Dec. 18.-The speculative wheat
market opened up quite strong in the face
of lower cables and a reported total lack
of foreign demand. Early advices also
said that the seaboard was selling freely
ill Chicago. The strength shown in this
market is perfect puzzle to the average
trader. Here, We are paying $3.50 for the
May delivery of wheat and at New York
at the same moment-a laggard-at 62sc.
IT costs, according to published rates 35c-
all rail-per 100 lbs to New York, where
Is the profit or the loss? 1t is certainly
conundrum to the majority and will
take time to unravel. A dispatch from
this center to Chicago may possibly give
pointer. The spreaders are at work
again buying here and selling in Chicago.
Ihat has tied our market as tight as a
drum. The same people who are buying
May wheat now in the aforesaid fashion
We're successful in the December deal and
may make 1t work again" Lower cables
We're naturally expected the report of
our enormous increase in the visible sup
ply. Chicago today reports the total
stocks of wheat at that center 80, 900
bushels. This is an enormous amount to
carry and until some relief is given from
some source there is no hope for any
York today were liberal but all other At
lantic ports were silent. The shipments
from India and the Baltic, which appears
an another column, shows a large increase
over last week, being nearly 100000 BUSH
els. This amount added to our own ex-
ports indicates that European stocks will
show an increase before Christmas.
Primary receipts aggregated $4,000 BUSH
els of wheat and PIP, 900 bushels of corn.
May wheat opened at soc, being &c better
than yesterday, advanced to $3.50 and by
noon sold at 59lac.
July wheat opened at 6Olsc bid against
591sc yesterday, advanced gradually to
60&.c. and by noon sold at 605sc
The cash wheat market was fairly active
with good demand from local millers.
Offerings We're light and quickly cleared
up. No. hard sold at 5912c to Coo; No. l
northern at 5S12c to sc and No. 2 at about
cent to cent and a half under accord
ing to quality. Sales We're made per
statement below. Receipts here We're 149
cars; shipments 10 cars.
The wheat market ruled fairly steady,
but lost a little of the early gain during
the last hour of the session. The news in
general was bearish, but our boys held their
own well. December wheat closed at 571ac,
May wheat a 59l4G59asc and July at 60ssc
