CURRENCY COIN CERTIFICATE S
Novel Suggestion for a Compromise
on the Coinage Ratio of Gold
and Silver.

CHICAGO, Feb. ia novel sugges-
ton, as to the possibility of obtaining
a rational basis of compromise between
the advocates of the gold standard and
their opponents, is being advanced by
w. S. Harbert, of this city.
The plan is for a circulating medium,
consisting of coin certificates, payable
half in gold and half in silver-a 50 GER
tificate, for example, to be redeemed
by 81 in gold coin and 81 in silver coin.
If the relative value of one metal
should diminish, the value of the 9TH
er, according to Mr.. Harbert, would
relatively increase, and the value of
the certificates payable in both metals
jointly would be substantially unaf-
fected, the heighth of the fulcrum of
the scales not being disturbed by the
raising of one aarms ID and the lowering

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 11.-Wheat opened
higher and strong this morning on higher
Liverpool cables and continued strong and
active throughout the morning session. Tips
were also given out early that the Letter
interests would put May wheat up to 81 to-
day. This caused shorts to rush for cover
and for an hour the bidding was active. They
were cautious enough, however, not to ap-
pear too anxious, and, as a consequence, con-
siderable short wheat covered on a mod
crate rise in values before II a. m. From
II up to noon the market was quiet but
strong, with little wheat offered for sale.
May wheat opened at 943sc against 93A C
yesterday; gained 1-16c; declined to 94Ac;
gained 1-l6c; sold at 941ac advanced sharply
to 9412@943sc; declined slowly TO 94asc gained
Bc and by noon held at 1890. July wheat
opened at 93c against 925sc yesterday; gained
Bc; lost 18c; firmed up to 93Ac; lost 1sc, and
gained 1sc by noon.
The demand for cash wheat was very good
for all grades. No. l northern sold mostly
at lc to 112c over the May price. Some ex-
ira No. / sold at 4c over. Receipts here were
341 cars; Shipments 63 cars.
The market quite strong during the
noon hour on private cables There was a
little weakness before the close through even
ing up of trades. February wheat closed
at 9412c, May at 947sc and July at s3Ac.
