To Relieve Anticipated StTingenCy

Secretary Shaw has gone 10 New York
city for few days. and although no sig
nihcance is attached TO the trip by
Treasury officials, it is understood that
he is to confer with Wall Street fnan-
ciers in regard 10 the money situation.
The Secretary was unwilling to give any
intimation before his departure as to
what he would do. It Is expected that
the immediate result OF his visit Will be
a relieved situation.
There mas been no recent complaint OF
anything like a money "stringency" in
New York. but the Secretary is uneasy
about the situation. for he believes there
are certain elements in the outlook for
the immediate future which are by no
means promising. IL would cause no
surprise at the Treasury Department II
the Secretary. Immediately after his re
turn here. should anticipate the payment
OF the April interest on Government
bonds. although the need OF such a step
is not felt as severely at this time as it

thorized him TO offer s., 1000 10 Repre-
sentative Lessler on condition that
Lessler would change his attitude on the
question of authorizing the purchase Of

OF the last session expired March 4.
The Democrats are lined up in almost
solid opposition. While not more than
one or two Republicans would vote
against il. IL is well understood that
there were a number on that side Of
the chamber who would be glad to see
it fail and will not hesitate to place
obstacles in its way The Democrats
are now threatening to flibuster against

Senator German is given the credit
for the organization OF the Democrats.

cane sugar men OF the Southern States.
Democrats deny that their opposition IS
OF a hIibustering nature.
