washington July 17.-President Roosevelt.
speaking through Senator Lodge. at oyster Bay
yesterday, is regarded here as having made
positive declaration as to the position of the
administration subject of the highest i'm
portance-frst that currency reform legislation
VIII be demanded at the special session OF Con-
gress TO be called together November 0. and,
second, the specific manner of accomplishing
that reform which he will advocate in a special
message to Congress on that subject.
Particular stress is laid here upon Senator
Lodges statement that the Presidents views on
the subject were defined in his public utterances
on his recent Western trip. The only speech on
currency reform made by the President on that
trip at Quincy. Ill. on April 90 just before
he reached st. Louis. the glowing accounts of
his reception in the latter city probably account
ing for the slight attention paid at that time to
the speech. In that speech the President de-
clared for flexible currency" and it appears
from Senator Lodges statement that he has not
since changed his mind Further significance Is
given to Senator Lodges statement from the
fact that it made Immediately after the
conclusion of an extended conference with Sec
retary Shaw. who took luncheon with the Presl-
dent on Wednesday
On Wednesday The Tribune printed the de-
tails of plan for currency legislation "as a
basis for discussion This plan looked solely
to making the currency more flexible" and
came to the attention of the Aldrich sub-com-
mittee on finance at the Hot Springs conference
well recommended" AS stated, by this simple
plan:
II is proposed to authorize the issuance OF "ad-
ditional currency" by national banks up to %
per cent of the amount of their capital On
this the government would place tax of. say.
per cent per annum. Because of this tax,
banks would only call for the additional
Tency in time of greatest stringency-that is. in
terest loans would have to be higher than
5 per cent to induce bank to go to the ex-
pense of issuing additional currency. The in
stant interest rates dropped below per cent
this currency would retire automatically.
Secretary Shaw returned to Washington last
night and when sought by number of news
paper correspondents this. morning made it

OPEN PORTS IN CHINA,
Moukden and Ta-Tung-KaO an Rus
sian Promise an Japan.

Pekng July 17.-United States Minister Con-
ger has been recalled from New-Chwang. where
he went to investigate the situation, on account
of urgent business connected with the American
commercial treaty with China.
The announcement that Russia has assured
the United States that Moukden and Ta-Tung-
Kao will be made open ports IS accepted here
as meaningless unless the United States has Sc
cured Russia.s positive command to Prince
Ching to sign the American commercial treaty.
after which China would have power over
these ports.
While the opening of the two ports eliminates
the United States from any active quarrel,
though America is clearly the guardian OF
Chna's integrity it contributes nothing to the
solution of Japan's difficulties and promises no
solution regarding Russia's encroachment in
Corea or her evacuation of Manchuria. On the
contrary. the japanese regard Russia's promise
to America with apprehension.

RUMOR OF MORE COLONIES
France Reported about to Sell

London July 1S.-A dispatch from Yelling

tention TO a rumor emanating from the French
colony at Papeete, Island OF Tahiti. which is

clear that he was not 70 be the Spokesman -
garding the result Of the Oyster Bay monetary
conference. Secretary shaw however. called at
tenton TO the Presidents Quincy. H.. speech.
which was delivered the day after the Secretary
left the Presidents train. upon which he had
been travelling for several days. He also tnct-
dentally alluded appreciativeIy to the specific
plan along the same lines which The Tribune
outlined Wednesday.
The authoritative summary Of the Pres,aecss.
speech at Quincy. H. on April %. fur.iss~d
to the press that day by the Executive saeaox-
rapher and printed in The Tribune the foI.culas
morning is as follows:
Our currency laws recently have been I'm,
proved by specific declarations intended To
secure permanency of values. But this does rot
imply that these laws may not be stilI further
improved and strengthened.
II IS Well nigh universally admitted that our
currency system is wanting In elasticity shst
Is. the volume does not respond to the var,rius
teeos , or the country as whole nor to the vary
ing needs OF different localities
our people scarcely need to be reminded that
sS- sISln raising communities require a larger
volume or currency at harvest time than 9,-rirs
the GUNNER months. The same principle l7Dliss
| 10 every industry to every community
our currency laws need such modification "a
VIII insure the parity OF every dollar coineo Oi
issued by the government and such expa1Etor
ana contraction Of our currency win prouptfs-
anu automatically respond TO the varying ds.
/ mands OF commerce
Permanent increases would be dangerous per-
inanent contraction ruinous: but the needed eias.
uclty must be brought about by provisions which
wiz permit both contraction and extraction as
the varying needs OF the several conrunltless
ana business interests may require.
When the President made these remarks the
principal criticism of the Aldrich bill was under
stood to be that 1t provided for nothing but a
| permanent increase in the currency through the
| substitution of Other bonds for security for
the deposit of public moneys. thus releasing gov
| ernment bonds which might be made use Of as
security for additional national bank circulation
Senator Aldrich has not favored the add
| tional currency" plan with the 5 per cent tax
The Administration has not favored the AIdrfch
bill. and Mr.. Cannon has been against both. But
with complete harmony in sight. there is pecuL
lar force in Senator Lodges picture of the Pres
ident insisting upon immediate action that the
| subject may be effectualIy disposed OF IN sd-
vance of 1901"

Baxter 6 Co.'s Grain Letter.

Chicago November 23.-Wheat was quiet this morning and little easier tone
 prevailed, although there appeared to be no pressure of wheat on the market Ca
 bles were quiet, showing small changes.
 Liverpool cables quiet and steady. For eign trade was insignificant. The amount afloat showed a large decrease and the worlds exports were 4100000 bushels less
 than the previous week as made up on
 the exchange figures, and 1272,OOO bushels
 less by Bromhall. Minneapolis receipts
 were large for the day. Estimates on the visible pointed to large gains, but the
 early figures on stock did not confirm the estimates. Last year the visible supply increased 3,639,000 bushels. Corn was quiet and little easier with wheat. The foreign markets were quiet. The amount af1oat for Europe showed small de- crease. The worlds exports were about 100000 bushels less than the previous week. Oats sympathized with corn. Much depends on the movement of both Cash
 markets have been very steady Provis- ions were dull and weaker on the heavy movement of hogs. There was a general movement in wheat. corn and oats in
 the afternoon and prices sagged off with
 very little support. Provisions were dull.

New Orleans, November 23.-In the spot cotton market there was good inquiry and factors demanded a shade
 above Saturdays figures. The improve

 Futures opened steady Prices were from to 13 points above Saturday and soon gained to points additional Liv- erpool cables were much better than eX- pected. Shorts covered freely at the ad- vance and rumors had it that Texas buy | CTS had laid down on 10000 bales which they were under contract to deliver to Liverpool. In consequence Liverpool was 1 forced to enter the market again for this | amount The general public appears to l have gone into the market on the long l side and buying orders were free in the l first half of the morning. The volume of 1 trade was particularly heavy in March. l In the forenoon January sold up to Il. 13, 1 March 11.32 May, .43 and July, 11.51.

 New Orleans. November 23.--The week started with bull news predominant and by the time transatlantic markets open ed, Liverpool recorded an advance from to 10 points on contracts with spots marked English points. which advance was attributed by private cables to the 10. 30000O bale crop estimate of Lathem.
