TROUBLES OF SHIPPERS.
Can't Get Cars Enough to Move Their
Grain.

New York.-Following the recent
protest Of the western grain shippers
that It is impossible for them to get
the trunk line shippers to move con.
signments of grain from Buffalo to
New York and that in refusing TO en-.
ter into contract for these export
shipments the results were greatly
hindering the grain export trade. II is
learned that the New York Central.
the Lacakawana and the Erie have
temporarily discontinued the making
Of contracts on grain shipments.
The cutting of OF contracts on fu.
ture shipments was due TO the purely
physical condition of car shortage. II
is believed that the roads will all be
able alike TO relieve the congestion In
few days and resume the acceptance
of contracts.

Feature is Tendency Toward
Blockade Of Domestic
Exchange.

Nsw York.-Runs on the banks and
trust companies are practically over;
money, which was temporarily with
drawn from banks subject to runs, is
flowing to the stronger banks and cur.
rency is being provided IN most cases
where the demand for It is considered
legitimate. Further engagements OF
gold by Boston and other points have
brought up the total engagements
abroad under the recent movement TO
$26, $4,000.
Balances with the clearing house
have settled down to normal condi-
ton, but there is still something OF a
blockade OF domestic exchange
through the unwillingness OF New
York banks to pay currency on drafts
from other cities and the unwilling.
ness OF other cities to pay out their
currency upon drafts from New York.
The condition of affairs indicates a
continued pressure for currency rather
than breakdown of credits but rea-
sonable demands are being met for
regular customers of the banks. Tho

PROPOSES CREDIT
FOR THE BANKS
Congressman Fowler of New Jersey
Would Increase the Powers Of
National Institutions.
Makes Declaration That Permanent
Relief From the Present Monetary
stringeney Can Only Be Had
Through a System OF
Credit Currency.

New York-That permanent relief
from the present monetary stringency
can only be had through a system or
credit currency adequate to meet the
requirements of trade and redeemable
In gold coin, Is the opinion expressed
by Representative Charles Fowler OF
New Jersey, chairman of the banking
and currency committee, which Will,
at the coming session of congress, en-.
deavor to have a law passed providing
for credit currency issued by the ma
tional banks. Until such permanent
relief is made possible by legislative
enactment, Mr.. Fowler asserted, the
of clearing house certificates, cash
iers' checks and due bills of business
houses and manufacturers.
The underlying business conii-
tions," he declares, ARE essentially
sound, as evidenced by the increased
earnings of railroads and the fact that
the value of our agricultural products
are S500,000,000 more than last year
(which was the highest year in our
history, and are bringing to cur peo-
pie about S70OO,OO0,0O6 but public
confidence has been greatly shaken
and credit seriously affected. There
fore. every patriotic citizen from the
president down should do all in his
power to restore that confidence which
is essential to national prosperity.
The cause OF the currency strin-
gency is that there is scattered broad
cast throughout the country. at the
mints, in the wheat, corn and cotton
fields In the pockets of the people, or
locked up, about $1,000 600, 900 of the
reserve money of the United States,
most of which. under a proper condi-
ton, would be in the banks, serving as
reserve. Temporary relief will be
through the forced use of current
credit in the form of clearing house
certificates, cashiers checks and due
bills of business houses and manufac.
turers during the ninety days. The
permanent cure must come through a
| system of credit currency expanding
and contracting with the ordinary de.
mands of the smaller trade. precisely
as checks and drafts do in the broader
| field of commerce"

EXTRA SESSION Of CONGRESS-

Request for Extra Session Comes
From the Conservative Leaders In

Washington IL learned from I'M.

welt is now being urged to call an ex-
ira session OF congress to deal with
the financial situation The request

DDS.
The president has been assured
from most reliable sources that there
will be no opposition on the part OF
the great industries of the country to
the enactment of the necessary laws
TO carry out his ideas OF Federal con.
troll to the extent to which he has ex.
pounded them in the recent public ut.
terances. These assurances are made
at this time to avert what has been
represented as the most dangerous
situation which has confronted the
country during an extended historic
period--that is, the seeming growing
lack of confidence based ON known ir-
Irregularities in business methods in
some quarters and no sure and speedy
means of separating the good from the
unsound.
To this end II is suggested that the
president get congress to the task,
first, of making amendments to the
financial laws as will result In the
maximum of flexibility with the mini
mum of basic change in our system.
Next, and perhaps most In importance.
that the president embody his sugges-
lions on corporation control into sue.

BRYAN is OPTIMISTIC.
Nebraskan Does Not Look for Pro
longed Trouble In Business World.

Omaha.-William j. Bryan, in
Omaha, on Friday. gave out the fol-
lowing interview on the business and
financial conditions:
IL do not look for any prolonged
trouble in the business world. Condi-
tions which made a panic and depres-
sion in 1898 are entirely different
now. Then prices were falling because
Of restricted money supply. Now
we are In the midst of tremendous
gold production which gives an abund-
ant money supply and maintains
prices so that business Is brisk"
Then you do not think the present
bank trouble shows the need or an
emergency or asset currency"
Not by any means. On the other
hand. think IL is strong argument
against an asset currency. Suppose,
for instance, we had been issuing as
set currency during the past year and
In addition to the present trouble the
people had distrust about the money!
That would make matters so much the
worse. As II Is now. there is no
doubt about the quality of our
money"

LIKE COLONIAL TIMES.
Everything Closed in Kansas City
Except the Theatres.

Kansas City-Never before in the his
tory of this city was Sunday so strict
ly observed by the business interests
as II was on November 3. All the
merchants who have heretofore defed
the attempts of Criminal Judge VII.
liam II. Wallace to enforce the state
law forbidding unnecessary labor on
Sunday, obeyed the Sunday closing
order. The theatres, however, were
open as usual. as they are protected
by injunction proceedings pending In
the federal court.
The decision of the merchants to
obey the law was brought about by
the wholesale arrests during the pre-
vious twenty-four hours of those per
sons who were indicted by the grand
jury for refusing TO comply with the
law during the two previous Sundays.
The persons arrested were placed un.
der bonds ranging from 5000 to $1,000
each.

TARIFF WAR BETWEEN
FRANCE AND AMERICA
The Lcng Pending Negotiations Con
Quoted by the TWO Nations Have
Been Barren OF Results.

Paris-Indication point to an
early Inauguration of tariff war be-
tween France and the United States.
The negotiations opened last summer
for an arrangement on basis giving
France the benefit of 20 per cent re-
duction in wines in return for prefer
entail rates upon list Of about one
hundred articles, including shoes.
tools, machinery, etc, have thus tar
been barren of results, and the action
Of the French government Saturday in
virtually promising not to conclude
any further commercial arrangements
until parliament passes upon the pro-
posed revision of the tariff OF 49,
seems to preclude any chance OF
agreement.
Last week, before the government
made this promise a reluctant assen
was given to an extension of the de
crease granting the minimum rates to
Porto Rican coffee until December /.
While the extension nominally keeps
the issue open for another month, II
Is practically certain that nothing will
be accomplished unless the United
States radically changes Its attitude,
France having all along regarded the
concessions asked of her as being ut.
terly disproportionate to what was OF
fered If the Porto Rican coffee de-
cree is withdrawn December /, as now
appears likely, the United States is
expected to retaliate, and tariff war
will then be on.
