Arrangements are in progress for the
entertainment of the officers Of the

been appointed, and navy officials, as
well as the leading officers of the block

reception. 1t is proposed to give a
grand ball and several receptions dur
ing the blockade maneuvers Secretary
Herbert and Col. Farrow will be the
guests Of the chamber Of commerce,
which will give a dinner in their hon

during the blockade one Of the largest

steady decrease in this item On Jan.
2, the loans of the New York banks
were $491, 375, 300, which represented
gain of about $40, 0000 600 from the low

ana New York offered the most advant-
aeeous market in this connection.
The other items in the sta+on,o,,+
reveal the effect Of the heavy loan ex-
pahslon. The banks Increased their
ueposlts and decreased their cash hold
lhgs' making the total change in these
TWO items Of $3.50 900. which CORE
spends closely with the loan expansion
1t is noticeable that the circulation of
the banks shrunk sharply, bringing the
total circulation down to SIG, 787, 900 a.
decrease of nearly $4,000 900 since Oc-
tober. AS this circulation has been re-
tired largely within the past four
weeks, the decrease in cash holdings
may be due in part to the deposit of
legal tenders with the treasury to re-
tire the banknotes. The receipts of
currency for the past week have been
small. and the decrease in the avail
able cash held by the New York banks
makes the question of rates for money
an interesting one. It does not seem
probable that the current decrease will
nave anything like permanent in
nuence on interest rates, the outcome
depending largely on the disposition of
the funds now withdrawn. The re-
serve OF the banks Is still $196, 789. 500
and the excess reserve does not indicate
either a pressing demand for money or
an incentive to higher rates

formation of the company and this
coffee concern is the only one of them

John Arbuckle again took the stand
and testified that he controlled at least
one-quarter of the coffee trade in the

wanted to explain that the price Of
coffee was very variable and gave it as
his candid opinion that it was the most
speculative business in the world.

other big firms to fix prices?"
NO, sir, we have no agreement, we
only fix our own prices"

the remark by Sir Richard Cartwright,
that it seemed to be the idea Of the

could build a high tariff wall around
their own. domains, they could enrich
themselves at the expenses of their
neig1hbors. Speaking for the new
Canadian administration, he said it
was its hope that the United States
would see that reciprocal arrangements
