 The New Orleans dnanciers who had a conference with Secretary Cor teiyou today were as reticent as the Secretary himself as to the object of their ,m1ssion.
 Sol wexier. when questioned tonight. would only say that the conference would be resumed tomorrow and that at its conclusion a abatement as to the result would be given out.
 Discussing some phases of the mon etary situation at New Orleans and throughout the South. Mir. Wexier said
 There has been no evidence of any want of confidence in banks and finan- ciaI institutions anywhere in the South, but Southern banks. owing to thefr inability to obtain currency from New York, Chicago or St. Louis, the three reserve cities. have been compelled 70 restrict payments of cash. ana n orocr fo facilitate their business they have adopted the same course as other large centers by issuing Clearing House cer- tificates. The chief difficulty at the present time is in obtaining sufacient amount Of small bills and fractional currency to facilitate the rapid move mont of the cotton and sugar crops. but with hearty cooperation among planters and interior banks, the dim culty is being overcome ana easier conditions are anticipated in the near fu4ure.
 "rhe national banks of New Orleans are increasing their circulation to She maximum amount that bonds are available for and will also forward largo amounts of demand checks on European centers created by reason of exports of cotton products to New York, against which gold can be im- ported
 restricted by New York's inability to remit currency, but plans are being nArfected by which Southern export noints and New York will both be re- iiayed meeting each other half way pending the arrival of gold imports:
 .sIt is unfortunate that more elastic itv 10 our financial system was not afforded at the last session of Con- eress.

 Rome, Oct. 30.--The Pope has ex- oommunieated the authors of the reply to his recent encyclicai On Modern. ism" and has instructed the various bishops to forbid the reading of this reply in their dioceses.
 In the reply the modernists argued that the church always has and should now adapt itself to the exigencies of the age and insisted upon the right to discuss the Bible and other sacred writings. which they hold to be human productions.
 The retirement of Mgr. La Croix, bishop of Tarantaise, France, who fla vored the acceptance by the clergy of the church and state separation law, Is considered to be primarily due to the prelate's lack of sympathy with the present ultra-mundane policy of the Vatican, The reason given for the bishops retirement, however. was ill., health. ss

Against For
Pavments Limited,

Florence, November 3.-(Special. 1.-The financial furry struck Florence yesterday morning in mild form when the local banks entered into an agreement to pay only S20 a week in currency to any one subscriber and only 10 per cent of deposits to depositors of s20o and under. The Flor ence banks nave plenty of money and the announcement caused not the least con cern among their deposltors. 1t being thoroughly understood that the measure was merely one of precaution. For sew eral days there has been no money here to move the cotton crop, but owing to the unsettled price the buyers have had no in- clination to buy, and the farmers have of fered very little cotton for sale. Florence has three strong banks and there is an- other at Rogersville, in the eastern end of the county and the business interests of the town and county will be well pro- tected in any contingency, the local bank CTS having had a foresight to prepare themselves for just such a situation as now confronts them.
