Redemption of National Bank Notes

Sound Currency for March.
The reason why national bank notes are
presented for redemption is. perhaps. not
generally understood. Many suppose that
because the notes are fully secured. and
are, in fact, guaranteed by the United
redemption in United States notes except
the desire to secure clean currency for that
which is sOiled and mutilated. Such. how
ever, is not the case. TIL main reason for
redemption arises from the fact that ma
tiOnal bank notes are not money" but
merely the secured promissory notes of the
issuing banks. They are not available for
the lawful money reserve which the ma
tional banks are required TO hold. Conse-
quently, at those seasons of the year when
the movement of currency is toward New
York and other financial %centers, the banks
there naturally sort out the national bank
notes and send them 10 Washington for re-
deHption in order to get United States
notes which they can use as reserve money.
This suggests an important point of SUI
pcriority OF bank currency over govern
Pient paper money. To the extent that sur
plus currency moving TO financial centers

redemption. Tn notes go back to the issu-
ing banks in the interior, where they will
be on hand whenever profitable employ
ment for them can be found. Government
currency, on the other hand, is not retired
under such circumstances; but. accumulat-
ing at the financial centers, produces alb
normal credit conditions and stimulates
speculation. If employment for the time is
found, the necessity for shipping the cur
rency TO the interior a few months later

A Woman Policeman.

Mrs G.. A. Severance, Of st. Paul, is
the first woman in that city to receive
a commission as special policeman.
Mrs. Severance is the wife of the law
partner of the late SenatorC K. Davis,
and is interested in the work of the
humane society. She applied for the
commission in order to secure authority
which will enable her to act at once
upon seeing a brutal teamster beating
his horses. Instead of searching for
an officer while the miscreant gets
away, she will have authority to con
duct him to the nearest patrol box to
await the arrival of the patrol wagon.

Grain Receipts.

The official figures showing the re-
ceipts and shipments of grain, flour
and millstuffs at Minneapolis for the
crop year ending Aug. 81, have been
compiled by Assistant Secretary ]. 81.
McEnary, of the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce.
The table prepared shows that the
receipts and shipments of the commo-
dities enumerated. with the exception
of wheat, -four and millstuffs, are in
excess of the totals for the preceding
crop year, indicating the extent to
which Minneapolis has grown as a
grain market during the past crop year.
The wheat receipts for the last crop
year fall below those of the previous
year by nearly 100000 bushels, and
the shipments were over 1000, 900
bushels smaller.
The city's growth as corn market
is emphasized by an increase Of over
100000 bushels in the receipts, most
of which was consumed, as the ship
ments were only nominally larger.

Grain Grades.

The state board of grain appeals held
its annual meeting at the Corn Ex-
change, in Minneapolis Contrary to
expectations, there were no important
changes in the wheat grades. In the
general rules the word "new, as ap-
piled to newly harvested crop, was
stricken out because it was shown to
be not only misleading, but the cause
of much needless confusion The
strongest argument against the use of
the word was that it virtually fixed
the value of wheat something entirely
beyond the province of the board. As
old wheat always commands higher
value than new wheat, the future elm
ination of the Objectionable word from
the rules will be of direct benefit to
the producer.
The board also created one more
grade of oats, an intermediary grade
between sthree white" and No. oats,
to be known as -four white This
change was likewise made in the inter
ests of the farmer.
In the mo grade faxseed" the word
damp" was inserted in addition to the
words warm, mouldy, very musty or
otherwise unfit for storage. .
Previous to the meeting there had
been some talk of lowering the grade
of wheat from Sc to 55 pounds, but this
proposed change did not come up dur
ing the session.

Object of Forestry.

Forestry is not the planting of trees
for ornament or for shade. It is the
science of raising crops of trees for
profit on waste land-land that is too
hilly, too rocky or too sandy for culti-
walton. On such land, and including
elevated and exposed situations, the
pine will reach merchantable size in so
years, and by its growth earn an aver
age net revenue of 3 per cent. But
this is too long for individuals to wait
for a crop, and the state should buy
such tracts and keep them permanently
in revenue yielding coniferous forest.

Believes Condition of President Is
Indicative of Recovery.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 1O.-Secretary
Cortelyou remained near the pres
ident throughout the early hours of
the day and then came out to get a
breath of air. The secretary has
been among the very few admitted
within the sick room, even the mem
bers of the cabinet and others close
to Mr.. Mckinley in public life being
kept from the chamber where the
president lies.
Mr.. Cortelyou shared in the feeling
of satisfaction caused by the bulletin,
but beyond that he would give no
public statement on the situation.
Several others who have been at the
Milburn house constantly came out
had exceptional opportunity for OBJ
Servation, made the following gem
eral remarks:
1.-THE situation is entirely encouraging.
The presidents restlessness last night is
quite natural, and at this time any other
condition might excite apprehension. But
IL is 100 early 10 SLY lIldl tuS very idSC 6ie-
ment of danger is passed. Another "A hours
will probably be sufficient to permit con-
elusive judgment to be formed. In the
meantime the president is giving every
outward evidence of Improvement. He is
calm and clear-headed, and he would talk
if it were not that the doctors prevent it.
There has not been word said among the
doctors Monday as to another operation
1t appears to be accepted that in the pres
ent progressive stage of the case it is not
time to consider an operation"
Crisis Not Yet Passed.
1t is to be noted that this state.
ment suspends final Judgment for an
other "A hours, and is a more con-
servatiye view of the situation than
that so frequently voiced during the
morning.
