MONETARY COMMISSIONS BILL.
Convention of Business Men to Re-
assemble to Consider It,

Washington, Dec. 15.-The convention of
business men, which met in indianapolis
last January and authorized the appoint
ment of the monetary commission will be
called together again for the purpose of
considering the commissions report This
was decided upon to-day at a meeting of
the executive committee of the convention
at the Arlington hotel. The new conVen-
ton will be held in Indianapolis on Tues
day, Jan. %. The invitation will go out,
as before, to all the boards of trade. COM
mercial clubs and similar organizations in
all cities of the United States having a
population of 5000 or more. The executive
committee determined upon this course
with view of crystalizing public opinion
in support of the report of the monetary
commission, in case the plan presented
by the commission shall commend itself
to the business community.
The commission was in session to-day at
the Arlington hotel and it is expected that
its report will be presented to the execu-
tive committee within a short time The
action of the banking committee to-day in
deciding to postpone the consideration of
legislation until the report of the moneta-
ry commission is received is accepted by
members of the commission as indicating
the lL1pOIid lance when IS aILdc0ed IN con-
gress TO the movement of the business
men, and the growing interest in the re-
port of the commission.
The convention called for Jan 25 is ex-
pected to be even more largely attended
than the convention of a year ago when
$50 delegates responded to the invitation
of the boards of trade of the central west.
The invitations to the meeting next month
will not be restricted to those only who
attended the convention a year. ago but
will include all the cities which were then
invited to send delegates. The convention
of year ago was arranged upon short
notice and with only limited amount of
preliminary correspondence with the
boards of trade of the country. The execl
utive committee have since received as
surance of support from many cities and
commercial bodies which were not repre-
scented in the original convention, and 1t
is expected many of them will send dele

COTTON MILLS OF THE SOUTH.
The Arkwright Club of Boston Dis
cuSses Their Advantages.

cusses Their Advantages.
Boston, Dec. 15.-At a meeting of the
Arkwright Club, which was held at
Youngs hotel to-day, a report was pre-
scented upon the conditions of southern
competition in cotton manufacturing and
the best practicable mode of meeting it.
The report was unanimously adopted. The
committees concise opinion is given in
these words: 1.-The southerner finds that
with the advantage he possesses he can
make these goods at a cost which will al
low him to undersell our mills and leavS
HIM a margin of profit which is sufficient
to induce the investment of capital. Now,
what are these advantages? First that
cotton is conveniently near and that
freight on it can be saved; second, that
water power is abundant if you care. to
utilize it, and that coal is cheap, if you
prefer to run by steam; third, that labor
is abundant and cheaper and not inclined
10 organize against the employers; fourth
that the enactment of restrictive labor
laws is not likely to trouble manufacturers
for many years. In our opinion the cheap
labor long hours and freedom from legis-
lative interferences are the chief advan-
tages and the others are unimportant and
of doubtful value"
