CHANGE OF FEELING
ON CROP REPORT.
WHEAT TURNS FAIRLY FIRM.
Lack of support Renders Prices
Easier in the Corn Pit-July
Oats StrOnS-PrOvisions
Slow.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Cables this morning
indicated that the foreigners, especially
the Englishmen, did not regard the Gov
ernment report, showing sc, 900, 900 bush
ell crop. as particularly bearish. There
was locally also something of a change
of sentiment, and some good buying took
place where heavy selling was expected.
Active First Hour.
During the first hour buyers were much
more plentiful than sellers,-which made
the tone of the market fairly firm, and
enough trade was done to call the condi-
tions active.
In corn the conditions were somewhat
slow, and prices easier under a lack of
support, owing to the fact that about all
the speculative interest centred in wheat.
July Oats Strong.
The July delivery of oats continued
strong and fully up to yesterdays prices,
whereas May did hardly as we'll, opening
at 462s cents, selling sparingly at 463s q
46la cents, anG reacting to 46h Q46A
cents.
Conditions in the provision pit were
slow and steady, not much attention be-
ing given to the market. Prices remained
close around yesterdays final figures.

The price Of Capital Traction continues
very strong, and it is said that insiders
are purchasing the stock. The annual re-

that its showing will be particularly
gratifying.

FavOrs Street Extension.
Mr.. Parker is strongly In favor OF the
street extension plan. He hopes that the
proposal TO issue bonds for the carrying
out of the plan will be adopted by Con-
gress, but he is in favor of the street ex-
tensions, even if the District has to pay
for them itself.
There has been some opposition to
the issuance of bonds. understand that
there is now brewing movement against
the plan. Some people always oppose
bonds. 1t is as if they had to pay the en-
tire issue themselves. They are usually
not men of the class that would be able
to do much toward such liquidation. The
bond plan is a simple one. and the easiest
one that could be proposed for the pres
ent taxpayers of the District. 1t would
allow of an immediate DEVELOPMENT OF
the street extension and other great ex-
pansion, and it would cost the present
generation little. Taxes would be but
slightly increased, probably not as much
as they will have to be to make the abb
solutely necessary extensions under any
other plan.
THE issue of bonds Will not be used for
the liquidation of the debt of the khe-
dive but for the making of the Greater
Washington. This is the era of expan-
sion. politically and commercially. 1t
should be the era of expansion for the
Greater Washington also in order that the
Capital of the nation may not be behind

PERSIAN CARPET WEAVING.
Finest Work Done by Boys Eight to
Twelve Years Old.


Twelve Years Old.
A replica of the famous carpet from
the mosque of Ardabil. which is now pre-
served in the South Kensington Museum.
London, is being made at Tabreez, Per-
sia. the centre of the carpetmaking in
dustry OF that country. The towering ard
designing of this carpet are unique.
A handpainted design of the original
has been furnished to the Persian weav-
ers, and so skillfully is the work being
carried out that it is stated by the En-
glish Consul General that when completed
1t will be equal in every respect to the
original carpet, SO faithfully is the work
being reproduced, both with regard to
coloring and detail.
The carpet is being woven by boys
ranging from eight to twelve years of
age. They sit in serried rows before their
looms. Their method OF procedure is to
pull the wool from a reel suspended above
their heads in their left hands. and. with
a nat knife provided with a crooked point
in their right, dash the thread, with three
movements, through the web strings. hook
il into the desired knot, cut off the sur
plus ends and start another knot. The
work Is carried out with such remarkable
rapidity that it is almost impossible to
follow the movements of the weaver.
Before setting to work the weavers
closely study the painted design which
they have to reproduce. and then depend
entirely upon their memories to enable
the work to be completed. Their memories
are so reliable that it is very seldom they
will refer back 20 the painted design.

bility of the Persian rugs are attributa

The national bank law Of 1853 was sort
of copartnership between the Government
and the banks. The Government was to
furnish the charters a2d the privileges
and the banks were to furnish the money
1.-THE entire system was founded upon
the Government credit The capital OF
the banks was to be invested largely in
Government bonds, and these bonds be-
came the basis and security for the cir
culation. The interest on the bonds al
that time was much higher than at pres
ent, and the circulation was profitable
business for the banks. The benk notes
were issued to the full capital OF the
banks.
"Since that time the low interest and
the high premium have induced the cur
tailment of the national bank circulation
largely, and the country is thus now de-
prived of this most convenient, safe, and
desirable form of circulating medium.
Would Be Profitable to the Banks.
more profitable to the banks, because
upon a deposit of 30 per cent of Govern
ment bonds and 20 per cent of green
backs only they would be allowed to issue
bank notes to the extent of 100 per cent
of their capital. The credit of the banks
would stand behind SO per cent of the cir
cuiation.
THE plan would be safe-guarded in
every way. 1t would be under the direct
supervision of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency. as it is at present, and the Gov
ernment would control the issue and know
exactly how much circulation every bank
was issuing.
1.-The Secretary has not detailed his plan
in full. l understand that he wishes to
have 1t discussed by the financial men In
all its aspects. with view of arriving
at a compact and satisfactory system.
There can be no doubt, however, that the
notes would be printed by the Govern
ment, as they are now. SO that there
would be no possibility of the gross .;oun
terfeiting frsrIds that accompanied the old
State bank system.
Amply Safe-Guarded.
Another safeguard Of The system
would be a guarantee fund. to be contrib
uted to by every bank that issued circu-
lating notes. This fund would be only a
small one, but it would amply insure she
public against insolvent banks. AS the
Secretary has pointed out, this fund would
grow rapidly, despite the drains upon it.
As a matter of fact, it would be very
small drain upon the solvent banks.
AT present there is no way to increase
the money of the country a dollar, except
through the national bank circulation. At
the same time the business Of The nation
is expanding tremendously. II is double
what it was five years ago. although the
circulating mediums have Increased only
about II per cent in that time. Some So

character throws the strongest doubt
upon its high-level permanence. Not q
few men whose judgment is entitled to
respect believe that the present rush of
business and traffic will continue an

not be ignored. and these point unmistak-
ably toward reaction, Notwithstanding
there are quarters in which the onward
movement may continue or break out

is, for instance, strong evidence of a boom

for investment when other fields have lost
their attractions, but such operations
have always marked the elimination Of
