Conee Exchange Brokers Renew
Agitation for Innovation.

Recent activity in coffee speculation
has caused a renewal OF tho agitation
for the establishment OF a clearing
house by the Coffee Exchange. a pc
tition is now being circulated among
the members in an effort TO attain the
object sought.
a clearinghouse enables 1000 mem
bers to settle their accounts with one

would take two. The strader 10 one
party to the settlement and the clear

TEN time Is saved. fewer checks for
the purpose OF settlement changes
hands and a hundred times the amount
OF business can be transacted. The sue

n. Y. POST-OFF|CE
PLEA MADE AGAIN
Public Buildings Committee
Urged to Indorse Purchase Of
Pennsylvania Railroad Site
for 100000.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-the plea Of
New York City for additional post
once facilities was entertained to-day
by the House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds. The entire New
York City delegation in the House
Senator Depew and 6. C. Mead. secre'
tary OF the Merchants Association Of
New York, represented the city.
The object OF the hearing wa TO ge'
the Endorsement OF the committee t.
Rider bill, approprihting 100000 fol
the purchase Of the site offered by thu
Pennsylvania Railroad Company a
Eighth avenue ana Thirty-second anc
Thirty-third street. The plan 10 to hav,
q subcommittee OF the Public Build
ings and Grounds Committee go before
tho Appropriations Committee and ad
vocate the placing of this item on thu
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill.
The argument used was the made
quate postal facilities furnished the
city by n building erected twenty years
ago. and too small at that time. Mr..
Mead said that since 1ssSthe two Dor
oughs OF Manhattan and the Bronx
had increased in population 2i9. AS.
enough people. he decl4red, to consti-
tute a good-sized city in itself.
Senator Depew showed that the ex-
pense OF renting a small building as a
branch Office near the New York Cen
trail Station was costing tho Govern
ment. including carthage. $4,000 a year.
There was a proposition. he said,
which the Postmaster-Gsneral had
recommended, pending before the
House Committee IN Post-ofices and
Post Roads. to authorize this official
to make a fifty-year lease with the
New oYrk Central Railroad Company
for facilities In its proposed new ter
minal ut a cost of s9o.OW annually. Tho
present law authorized the making of
such a lease for ten years. but 1t was
desirable to guarantee continued rental
for a longer period in order to Justify
tho railroad company in making the
expenditure for the building.
Before the conclusion OF the hearing
Representatives Rider Golden and Gold
fogel pledged the entire delegation 10
tho proposition contained In the Rider
bill.
Chairman Gillett, of ew York, of the
committee, said during the hearing thai
there WAS not the slightest need to
convice the committee OF the necessity
for the Improvement, as 1t had been
convinced IN advance; that the only
question was what was best to be done.
The committee took no action.
