0VER-SUBSCRIPTION
C0RTELYOU OPTIMISTIC OVER
 SALE OF PANAMA BONDS. S
There Were Several Important Deyel- opnnents Yesterday h Plans for AherSlng Relief fo< the
 Money Market.

Washington. Nov. sS.--There were several important developments today in the plans of the Treasury Depart pient for affording relief to the money ties.
 Secretary corteiyou stated that of the amount paid for the Panama Canal bonds, % per cent would be deposited with national banks purchasing such bonds. All the indications point to q large over-subseription of bonds. The belief was confidently expressed at the Cabinet meeting today that the loan would be taken several times over and that the announcement of this fact would have most stimulating effect fin restoring confidence. The bids for the bonds will be received up to half past 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
 An important fact relating to the one year Treasury certificates is that already the amount allotted approxi- mates $25.009.00O. Of this sum only about $3.sn0, 900 has yet been pledged as security for circulation but the cer- tihcates are being transferred t0 the custody of the U. S. Treasurer almost as rapidly as the banks are notified of their alIotments.
 Already the amount of new bank note circulation taken out during Novem- Der slightly exceeds $40,000, ,0oe. which is beyond the estimates of tine Treas- ury Department three weeks ago.
 The recommendations to be made by the Secretary of the Treasury in re- gard to financial legislation are still c subject of many rumors and question able reports. It Is not expected, how ever. in well informed circles ,--that the Secretary will go Into great de. tan in presentting currency plan. It is genArally admitted that some form of emerGency circulation would be au- thorized but there is difference of opin- ion az to the form of the new issues and the rate of taxation to tho i'm. posed upon them.
 The administration is not In favor of the project for guaranteeing bank de. posits proposed by Wm. J. Bryan. 1t is not Considered a practical meas ure at the present time ana there is strong opposition to the Government giving a guaranty for any banking obligation.

 1y Dcpeadent On Leah R&feR.

NAw York. Nov. 2s.--New York bankers are expecting a resumption of cash payments in lieu of the check system which has been employed dur- ing the present finanria1 strtngency within e very short time.
 The return to q strictly cash basis in banking transacfions Is largely de- These rates are steadily declining and call money practically went begging In Wall Street late today at 3.per cent and below. Rates on time loans con tinue comparatively high but are grad nally being reduced. As soon as the time loan rate reaches per cent, it is believed the bankers will feel assured enough of their position to resume cash payments.
 New circulation from the issue for 3 per cent treasury certificates of in- debtednegs will be available within c few days, and this will be an im- portant factor in hastening the return to the usual banking conditions. The premium on currency was in evidence again today, but the rates were noni- nal and the demand comparatively light.
 The early disappearance of. all pre- Sniuuas is freely predicted. While 1t is declared that the New York banks are in . position to resume currency payments at once, many such pay ments having been made within the last few days, they are said to be awaiting assurance from the interior that the wants of the cities there have been satisfactorily supplied. go long as the interior demands are heavy the New York banks are inclined to hold their currency in readiness for trans- fer and to ask the indulgence of their local patrons to the extent of accept ing checks which are being handled with comparatively little inconven- ience.

 Although Mir. Williams admitted he

 It was a half hour past midnight

PUBLICITY OF
 CONTRIBUTIONS Before Campaign and
 Not After It. Il MOVEMENT IS LAUNCHED William Jennings Bryan Makes
 Speech Endorsing Action { Ire Democratic Membrrs of Csngress Are Urged To Work For Passage Of Proposed Publicity

Washington, Nov. 2s.--A meeting of the association, for the publicity of campaign contributions called by Hon. Perry Belmont. was held here today, thh chief feature of which was short ad- dress by w. J. Bryan.
 Mir. Bryan spoke for twenty minutes. He asserted that If the movement for publicity of campaign contributions dtd not take form through the Democratc members of Congress during the next session, 1t would take form in the next Democratic national convention provids ing he had anything to do with 1t.
 Although the Democratic party Is not in a position to draw it's share of campaign funds at present" he said, "it has been in . position to do so be. fore and will undoubtedly be in that position again when it makes the ne- cesssry promises. hope that no party will yield to the temptation to sell legislation or immunity for cpntribu- tions. There Is no doubt that such has been dons in the past"
 Mir. Bryan contended that the pub- licity should be made before a cam- pafgn instead of after-but 1t could with benefit be done both before and after.
 Mr, Bryan said he ventured that not one public man could be found who would dare denounce, in a speech deliv- cred before election. the publicity movernent and this was the opinion which was surely crystalizing on the movement. The following resolution was offered by former Senator W. E. Chandler and adopted:
 Resolved. that in view of the ap- preaching Presidential election, the members Of this association urge upon Eenators and Representatives of their respectfve States to aid in the enact- merit of the proposed publicity law at the present session of Congress and that a committee of this organization be appointed to go before the commit tee of the Senate and House to which the bill favored by this organizations may be referred"
 Mir. Belmont announced that the conn mitteed wotild be appointed later.
