NEW YORK, November 23.--Higher Lon

probably 10000 shares IN ali, had bene-
hcia influence on early prices this morn
Ing. Foreign exchange yielded another
haf point on foreign purchases Of local
curities. This incident helped the market
and for time commission houses were
more active. Toward the end OF the first
hour the demand slackened and traders
realized on previous purchases.
The decision relative to the closing OF the
exchange on Saturday on account Of Vice
President Hobarts funeral revived interest
In the money rate over that period. As
tomorrow's contracts go over until Mon
day, traders were Inclined to even up con-
tracts. fearing a further furry in money
rates.
The bank statement gives every indica-
tion Of being favorable, and some large
blocks of bonds are said to be on the eve
OF delivery under the terms Of the treasury
circular.
The double holiday resulted in some mis-
glVlngs as to what might develop in the
iransvaai over the close period but the
confident buying by London was subse-
quently accepted as an indication that the
authorities were satisfied with the pros
pect.
The action of the local gas stocks was

pany announced its intention of raising its
rate to the legal limit.

olcauon OF approaching harmony among

CUBA WANTS MONEY.
The Establishment OF system of
Loans on crops Wanted

Loans ON crops wanted.
Evaristo NLonfalvo and Francisco Fig
ueras, commissioners appointed by the
Planters and Farmers, Association of Cuba
W. Q. Mcdowell, president of the Cuban
American League, accompanied by Senior
Quesada, the Cuban commissioner called
upon the President yesterday afternoon and
laid before hfms& petition adopted by the
Farmers and Plantersi~Association.
The petition was base,l on the belief of
the commissioners that the aehabllita-
ton Of Cuba depends first of all upon the
revival of her natural industries, sugar.
tobacco and mines. To secure this indus
trial revival the commissioners pray the
President to provide for the establishment
of an agricultural bank, with branches in
the principal cities of the island, go that
money may be easily obtained by the
planters on crop and land security
Ihey pointed out, however, that no amount
or production can bring prosperity to Cuba
without a market for her crops They
therefore ask that the President extend to
Cuba the same CONNIE; cial privileges as
will be enjoyed by the islands of the British
West Indies under recent treaties or else
that he renew the reciprocity arrangement
that was made for Cuba benefit with
Spain under President Harrison in 1891
Minor points touched on in the petition
are the desirability of the same postal az
engagements with the United States that
now exist between the United States and
Mexico and Canada; also the repeal of any
order preventing competition in cable ser
vice out of CUBA
The petition quotes the views of Commits
sioner Robert p. Porter on the economic
needs Of Cuba. and submits the draft of a
charter for the proposed agricultural bank
They discussed the general situation in
Cuba with the President, and when they
left the White House said their conference
had been satisfactory, though they declined
to go into details to what the President
had told them. Later they went to the
Treasury Department, where they had an
interview with Secretary Gage.

SMOKING BY WOMEN.
1t Has Become a Common Practice III
AristOcratic London Cafes.


From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
'While l was in London last month";" said
a New Orleans broker who has just returned
from trip across the big pond, 81 was
greatly surprised at the number of women
1 saw smoking in public. OF course, one
can always see that sort of thing in the
bohemian resorts and the cafes patronized
chiefly by folks from the continent, but it
was something of shock to bump into it
at such establishments as the Savoy and
the Hotel Cecil. In both places and three
or four others equally aristocratic, l saw
society women putting cigarettes as cooily
chappieS at a roof garden. The Spe-
tacle is so common that it has ceased to
attract any attention, and it was tolerably
evident that the ladies who were indulging
did so because they liked it, and not merely
to be eccentric
Il dropped into the Cafe Royal one even
ing with a London friend and We were
shown to seats in the large public dining
room, not far from what was evidently a
theater party of eight or nine people. They
were just concluding a late supper, and one
of the ladies, who was the picture of ele-
giant refinement and by no means in her
first youth, produced jeweled cigarette
case and passed it around In a moment
everybody was smoking The lady was the
American wife of a somewhat noted Lon
don clubman, and was formerly a con-
spicuous figure in Philadelphia society
Il mention the incident merely to illus
trate the prevalence of the habit which
reminds me, by the way, that the London
of today is very different from the London
of eight or ten years ago. There is every
where a marked accession of gayety and
SprightlineSS; one notices 1t in the shop
displays, the theaters, the restaurants, and
the aspect of the crowds at night, and the
city in general has much more the air and
manner of the great capitals of the CONT
nent. The change is particularly notice
able to an fnfrequent visitor like myself -

TREASURE ON SUNKEN wARsEIPs.
Wreckers Find Cash and Plate in

A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba says:
The wreckers working on the sunken Span
ish armored cruiser Almirante Oquendo
have discovered a chest containing $4,000
In Spanish gold, which the Cendoya Com
pany, the firm employing the divers, will
retain. Work on the cruiser has been in
progress for FIVE months, and many thou
sand dollars worth of treasure has been
secured. The safe was found in the bot
tom, where it fell during the burning of
the ship.
A few days ago the wreckers began on
the torpedo-boat destroyer Furor. They
have already found g service of heavy sill
Yer plate. Experts assert, after inspecting
the destroyer, that she might easily have
been raised and repaired. The wrecking
operations have proved a source of large
$500 900.
