DEMAND FOR AN ELASTIC
CURRENCY.

There seems to be a general de-
mand among the business interests
of the country for an elastic cur
rency. 1t Is contended by manufac-
turers, jobbers, merchants and bank
ers that the present system is too
inelastic because the country has
outgrown It.
Writing on this particular topic
in his last weekly letter, Henry
Clews, the great author In matters
OF finance, says:
Had we an elastic currency sys
tenn by which the bank notes issued
during the last year could be prompt
ly retired, we should probably have
bten saved from these violent fiuct-
nations in interest rates, such as are
witnessed in no other civil zed coun-
try: but, since bank note redemp-
lions ara limited to 100000 PEI
month 1t is evident that no efficient
regulation can be expected by such
means. A redundant money mar
ket can have but one effect upon Sc
curities: and that Is irHationnrv
It IL true that railroad and industr' al
earnings are unsatisfactory. Per.

hans profits nd dividends will de-
cline. for business is contracting,
traffic declining and the number Of
unemployed is daily increasing.
These are all elements of depression
which cannot be ignored. Yet for
the time being, at least, they are
entirely overshadowed in he stock
market by the fact that cheap
money will make many stocks look
desirable even in the face of reduc-
ton in dividends which in many
cases has been AMPLY discounted.
For this reason no very pronounced
decline can be looked for in the
stock market. On the stock ex-
change weak points have been so

oughly discounted, that the mar

any unfavorable news.

Bankers Association upon new

question. When congressman be-
