Business was in a larger volume on
the Washington Stock Exchange yester-
day than for some time past. the trans
actions being $4,000 in bonds and Al

available Moreover. business was on a
rising scale.
The leader yesterday was Washington
Railway and Electric As, which sold ST.
COO, face value, from 7s4 TO 80. After
call bids for these bonds were repeated
and could have been sold at the top
price. The preferred stock Of the same

call and after call. the only trouble be-
ing that it was obtainable Onlye in small
lots The common stock sold 200 shares
at 81. and the buyer announced that he
was ready to take l.G00 or 5000 shares at
the same figure.

CURRENCY COURT is FAVORED
Banking Committee So Reports to
the House.
Plan to Have Nations Money system
Investigated by Citizens Recon-
mended as Best.

A court to investigate the currency
question is the final recommendation Of
the House Committee on Banking and
Currency. IN a report made yesterday it
said:
your committee begs 10 say tLdt since
its organization under the Six,leth Con
gress it has been steadily considering
the financial and currency question and
the various measures which have been
referred 10 it.
THE overwhelming consensus CT Opin-
ion adduced was opposed TO any make
shift or emergency legislation whatever.
because wholly unnecessary, and in favor
.of the creation Of a broad commission to
prepare and submit a measure which
would give 10 the United States a scien-
tihc financial and currency system.
"As your committee, after mature de-
liberation. is in complete accord with
these conclusions, it herewith presents TO
the House a bin for the creation of such
commission.
Since Congress should not delegate its
authority, your committee has provided
that Representatives and Senators shall
constitute a majority of this commission.
Since finance is a science, and its
movements are controlled by laws certain
in their operation, your committee has
provided for the appointment of six bank
ing economists on this commission.
Since all classes Of our peOple--the
farmer the laborer. the manufacturer.
the merchant and the banker, are equally
interested in sound financial system and
a currency redeemable in gold and al
ways responding TO the ever varying de-
mands OF trade, your committee has pro-
vided for representation Of these inter-
ests upon this commission, alIotting
them equally to the natural subdivision
Of the country, so that all interests and
ali regions may have a part in its work
1T IS the confident belief Of your COM
mittee than the measure 50 prepared by
such a commission. should and will find
ready acceptance in both Houses of
Congress, meet the hearty approval of
the people, conserve and maintain our
prosperity. and establish the most eff
cient financial and currency system in the
world
A number OF changes are made in the
bill as reported, the most important be-
ing that the commission shall make its
report to Congress December i. 1905, in
stead of January l. 1909 Another amend
ment provides that the commissions field
Of inquiry shall be confined to the United
States

Al a public hearing before the Com
missioners yesterday Senator Gallinger' 5
bill, which provides for the suppression
of usury in the District. was discussed.
This bill provides that It shall be unlaw-
full for the lending Of money at a greater
rate of interest than 10 per cent a year.
and also provides a penalty OF fine Of
N,eo0 or a year in jail, or both, for a
violation of the act
With one exception all OF the persons
who attended the hearings are identified
with money lending concerns, and in no
instance did any one advocate the pas
sage Of the bill. It was the consensus
of opinion that the present law is ef-
feotive and insures sufficient protection
to the borrower.
Those who spoke were S. ]. Masters.
o. p. Brown, z. c. Tucker, J. .. Car
mody. J. ID. Leonard, and J. T. Exnios.
The Commissioners will take the bill
