day. discussed at some length the report
of the committee to which has been referred
the several resolutions bearing upon the
money and currency questions submitted by
a number of the constituent bodies Of the
board. The committee in its report states
that it finds the unfortunate conditions
which existed one year ago to be substan-
TALLY unchanged, and states that in ''the
judgment of the National Board of Trade,
the establishment of a sound, stable and
efficient monetary system is essential to
the restoration OF confidence and the pros
perity OF our Industrial interests, and such
restoration is an immediate and urgent
duty of Congress; that the essential pro-
visions in such a system should include the
relief of the government by the retirement
and cancellation of the legal-tender notes.

MONEY For SEEDS.
Appropriation VIII be Made Despite
Secretary MortOn's objection.

Secretary MortOn's Objection.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The House COM
mittee on agriculture to-day finished the
bill making appropriations for the support
of the Agricultural Department for the fiscal
year 1897. The total amount carried by the bill
is S. l5S, S92, as against 5000, $50 appropriated
for the present fiscal year. The $4,000
carried by last years bill for the purchase
and distribution of valuable seeds, but which
was unexpended by Secretary Morton. is
again appropriated, the sentiment of the
committee apparently being In favor Of the
continuation of the practice that prevailed
for many years, although some of the
members, it is said, have suggested some
change in the methods of obtaining the
seeds. There is an unexpended balance of
over 81 5000 that has accumulated from the
agricultural bills for some years past, and
rather than let this amount lapse and be
turned into the treasury the committee will
recommend that 1t be set aside as a nu-
cleus of a fund for the erection of a new
building for the Department of Agriculture
in this city The difference in the amount
carried by the bill and that appropriated for
the current fiscal year is due in part to a
reduction of $4,000 for the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry. where considerable work re-
garded as unnecessary will be discontinued,
and a reduction OF $4,000 in salaries in the
Weather Bureau Is made.

WANTS FOREIGN GOLD.
Treasury Will Offer Inducements to
Bidders Who Import Their Coin.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Glowing to the
favorable conditions existing in the
foreign exchange market the Treasury De-
partment is hoping that quite large Ship
ments of gold will be made from abroad
to be used in making payments for the
bonds to be issued under the call now
pending and If this should prove to be the
case it is understood that it will be the
policy of the department to offer every
facility in its power to those who propose
to use the imported gold in payments of
the several installments. No official or
even definite statement can be obtained
at the Treasury Department as to what
advantage bidders for the new bonds will
receive who have obtained their gold from
abroad. The department is extremely anx-
ious that large proportion OF the gold
offered In payment of the bonds shall be
obtained in Europe and for the purpose of
encouraging imports it is intmated that
the bidder who offers foreign gold or who
demonstrates that he has gold the way
at the time the bids are opened viii be
given the preference In the awards. other
things being equal, over others who offer
domestic gold. AT this time the premium
on gold in New York is quoted as Is of /
per cent. for buying and 81 of / per cent
for selling. AS near as can be ascertained
the average cost of importing gold from
London is a little less than 10 of 1 per
cent Under these conditions a small profit,

Later-When the Reed men nominated r.
f. Guichard for temporary chairman the
Mckinley men waged a personal warfare
on him, making all sorts Of charges. Final
ly Guchard announced that there was but
one issue and that was Reed or Mckinley
must be the choice Of the convention. He
said ii was held that Reed was the natural
successor of Blaine and was entitled to
the colored support, as he was an out
spoken advocate Of the force bill. which
meant a free ballot and fair count for
the negro in the South, while Mckinney and
Harrison had lodged the question in the
last Republican convention. The Reed
forces rallied with will and Guichard
was elected and proceeded to name the
committee. The latter will not report I'M
til tomorrow and the convention will then
permanently be organized. As soon as the
delegates are seated the battle for suprem-
acy will begin anew. The Mckinley men
will endeavor to secure Endorsement of
the ticket nominated by the Republican
sugar planters, which would give the latter
a right to claim precedence for the Nc
Kinley delegation which it would send to
ST. Louis. Morton's friends are also NOV
ing about among the delegates tonight and
some of the men who will try and have
themselves named in the interest of other
candidates NAV be found Morton men when
the time comes.
