GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Question of an Issue informally
Talked Over ut Washington.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-There has
been some talk in banking circles of
the possibility of the treasury depart
ment issuing gold certificates, now that
gold is piling up in the vaults and cur
rency is decreasing. This discussion is
chiefly due to a dispatch received il
Wall street to the effect that recently
there has been some informal discus
sion among the treasury officials on the
subject of the desirability of this
course. Continuing, the dispatch says
that Secretary Gage is confronted cy
a decision made by Secretary Carlisle,
when the treasury gold fell below $780,
600, 900, that the reserve having once
fallen below the amount mentioned
gold certificates could not be issued
again, even if the reserve went above
500, 900, 900, unless the issue was specifi-
cally authorized by congress.
President Cannon, of the Chase Ma
tional bank, saw nothing that made
the issue of gold certificates needful,
but thought that the issuance of such
certificates was entirely within the
province of Secretary Gage. Vice Pres
ident Hepburn, Of the National CITY
bank, said: 'I believe that legally, the
issue of gold certificates is entirely
within the opinion Of Secretary Gage.
There is no question that the treasury
needs currency. If the present condi-
tions continue and there are further
gold imports, as, in my opinion, there
are sure to be, it will not be long be-
fore the treasury will have to settle its
balances in gold. The situation re-
garding the currency might be relieved
by the issuing of gold certificates, as
country banks which have not the fa-
cilities for holding their reserve in gold
could hold the certificates for that pur
pose and put into circulation the cur
rency which they now hold. This, 1t
seems to me, would relieve the situa-
ton as to currency
Cashier Muhleman, of the subtreas-
ury, thought it altogether likely that
the subject may have been discussed.
He said further, that there seemed to
be ar erroneous idea in some quarters
that there was new an inconvenient
shortage of currency. This, he said,
was net the case, and he added that
any action Of the treasury officials
which might convey that impression

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept So.-The wheat mar
ket opened quite strong this morning at
Nc higher for the December future. Trad
ing, however, was rather light during the
first half hour. The local talent appeared
TO be rather doubtful about the ground
taken. There was a little wavering for
few minutes and a Slight drop then a rush
upward scoring a full cent over yesterdays
closing price, a quick drop of 5sc by 1890 a.
m and after which the market ruled COM
paratiyely steady and strong up to HIS
a. m. The news of the day was rather short
in quantity but pithy and most bullish-
leaving cut early cables. New York ad
viscd that exporters took 722, 900 bu including
out ports yesterday, also that clearings for
today aggregated 652, coo bu. About 11:3O a.
m, the market weakened and lost all the ad-
vance of the morning before noon. There
was no particular reason given for the break
other than New York and Chicago showed
weakness and Minneapolis followed suit.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
BEEF Is HIGH IN CALIFORNIA.
Butchers of sans<Franefsco Declare
the Advance Will BE Greater.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 30
The price of beef has gone up fully
one-third Within the last few weeks.
and butchers say. that before the holi-
days it will haveS atIvanced so per cent
over the. price of last year. Beef has
been. steadily advancing for the last
few months and is now from one and
a half to two cents a pound higher
than it was at this time last year.
Australia but recently has recovered
from one of her periodical droughts,
and as an exporter of cattle or sheep
is practically out of the foreign COM
petition. California cattle are prac-
tically exhausted. Oregon has had a
short crop, and the result is that beef
is and will be higher than it has been
for years.

WOMEN JURORS WON'T SERVE.
They Desert When Informed That
They May Receive No Fees.


FORT SCOTT, Kan, Sept. 30.-The
three prominent ladies of this city
who yesterday so heroically consented
to serve on jury during a four
weeks term of the state court today
deserted their posts when they learned
that there was a question whether or
not they would receive pay for their
attendance
Certain lawyers tried in several ways
to preclude them from the jury, but
without avail, until one of the ladies
raised the question of fees. She said
that under the existing state law only
competent male jurors could receive
compensation for their services.
The judge, still willing to have them
serve, suggested that was question
TO be determined by the county court
hereafter. After being advised as to
the doubt of their being paid they
failed to reappear in the court room,
and will not be required to serve.
