WHAT LEGISLATION WILL BE
 RECOMMENDED IS KEPT SE- cRET, BUT SOME FORM OF IM- PRoVEMENT WILL BE FAVORED.

Washington. November 14.-Currency expansion legislation in some form will be recommended for the action of congress at its coming session as the result of the sessions of the currency committees of American Bankers association and the New York chamber of commerce, which have been held here for the past three days
 What that legislation will be, none of the members are willing to say at this time. as all of them have been pledged to absolute secrecy regarding the doings of the committees until the final draft of the plan proposed is passed on by them at what is expected to be the final session tomorrow. All the principles which are to underlie the proposed plan of cur rency reforms were passed on today, and the final work of putting them in shape and outlining the details for their prac- tical application was late in the afternoon referred to special committee, consist ing of A. B. Hepburn, president of the Chase National bank of New York; James B. Forgan, president of the American Naiiohal bank of Indianapolis. These are to be assisted by Frank Vanderlip of the National City bank of New York and Charles A. Conant of the Morton Trust company, representing the New York chamber of commerce.
 Chairman Fowler of the house commit- tee on currency and Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely were present during the sessions of the committee today and 1t is said the principles determined on meet with their full approval The action of the committee was said to be unani- nous.

STOCKS ABSORBED
PersistenIy Yesterday and Result Was
Lifting of Priccs-Call Money
StffeneG.

| New York, Aug. 13.--There was
moderate but persistent absorption of
stocks in oday's market which had
the ultimate effect Of lifting prices
to higher level, the bulk of the
| days business being largely congested
! in few speculative favorites. ST.
Paul, Union Pacific and Southern Pa.
| ciiic have demonstrated their capacity
many times recently to carry the list
with them. An unsettling influence in
the early dealings was the break in
Brooklyn Rapid Transit which was
caused by the judicial decision against
the companys right to collect double
fare to Coney Island and to disorders
which resulted yesterday fro a de-
termination to collect double fare.
The lnterborough Metropolitan stocks
moved strongly away from the Brook
lyn stock, influenced by the statistics
Tor traffic for the last quarter over
Manhattan Borough lines and by re-
ports of earnings from albany.
ilN otIllHCSH Oh lHt call money mar
ket proved restraint on early specu-
lation but this was not relieved at
once by the news that the bulk Of the
S2,500,000 gold arrivals in London had
been secured for New York. The
price OF gold was bid up penny an
ounce in London in order to secure
gold and money discounts immediate |
ly. The stock market there was also !
affected by the prospect of dearer
money and some selling of securities
in New York for this account was the !
result. There was easing in the call !
loan rate here later IN the day. New I
York exchange at Chicago recovered |
to Is cents discount as compared with
% cents discount al the closing of |
last week. Some relaxation for time
Of interior demand upon New York
was thus indicated. A decline of up
wards of $4,000, 600 in value for July,
by agricultural exports caused by
he heavy falling off in the cotton out
90, was a factor lacink the assurance
or the international exchange situa-
ion. The days gain was not fully
to the last and the closng

For . National Apple Day.
Successful Agriculture

The agitation in favor of establish.
ing . National Apple Day in order to
show the public the great benefits
coming from the frequent use of the
fruit is steadily growing. The date has
been fixed upon by general consent Of
many local, State and national socie-
ties 40 the third Tuesday Of each Oc.
tober. The object Of having the day
at this time of the year, when apples
are ripening, is for the purpose of got.
ting rid of the surplus crops - quickly
90 possible 90 as not to carry them
through the winter.
To supply the ordinary wants Of the
city OF st. Louis during the apple sea.
son requires not less than 1000 bar
rels Of apples per day. If = special
day like National Apple Day WAS OBJ.
served oil through the city it would
take no less than 1900 or 5000 barrels
Of spples to supply the demand for
that day. II is estimated that fully .
half million barrels of apples would be
necessary to fill the wants of the peo.
pie on National Apple Day if it should
be observed all over the United States.

Two freaks Of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks of nature are
the Island of Fire and the Lake Of
Snow. The Island Of Fire is called
the Home of Hot Devils. It is situat.
ed in the midst Of large lake of boil.
ing mud in the island of Java. The
steam and gases which arise from
the sticky mud form themselves into
bubbles attaining the diameter of FIVE
or six feet and sailing high up in the
air like balloons, carried hither and
thither by the wind and finally ex-
ploding with loud crash.
The biggest snow lake is seen from
the aummit Of Hispar pass, in the Kar.
akoran range. 1t 10 more than 800
square miles in area. In Switzerland
the sea OF ice might better be called
tho sea of snow, as the surface is brok'
On up by solar heat. which makes q
minute fssuring in the ice, giving il
the appearance of snow.
