Your cooperation is solicited in

NOTES UNDER NEW
CURRENCY LAW ARE
TO ISSUE At ONCE

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Treasury
officials are making active prepare
tons 10 carry into effect the new cur
rencv law passed in the closing hours
of congress. Assistant Secretary
Coolidge conferred today with Direc-
TOR Ralph of the bureau of engraving
and printing, and with W. Aldridge
of the Office of the comptroller of the
currency. and the statement was au-
thorized that the actual printing of
the notes would be begun within the
next ten days. The new notes will
be identical with the national bank
notes now in use, except that the le-
gend at the top of the face of the
note, secured by bonds of the Unit
ed States,' will be changed to Sc
cured by bonds of the United States
or other securities.
The comptroller of the currency
now has in the vaults about S203,-
900, 900 in old notes belonging TO W.
rious national banks and these will
be used as required until new notes
are printed and seasoned ready for
use 1t is probable that it will re-
quire six months 10 change all of
the pldltS uScu " llIt u ~ Hdiiolidl
banks, but IL is expected that some
of the new issue will be ready for de-
livery by July l next. Several mat
tiers connected with the new issue are
still under discussion. one of the
most important being the denomi-
nation of the notes. but 1t is thought
that the smaller denominations will
be issued first, as each autumn there
is a heavy demand for small notes,
especially from the west and south.
As soon as the department is ready
TO supply the new notes in any guam
tity required, no further issue of the
present notes will be made, the pres
ent being destroyed as fast as they
reach the treasury for the redemp-
ton and the new notes issued in their
place.

The latter part of the market yes

view of the fact that it was making
recovery from profit taking which

upward movement will be of very
brief duration. today being likely to
bring resumption of buying and ad-
vance Except in n few stocks which
did not respond To the advance of
Monday and Tuesday there was very
little activity yesterday The buying
of the stocks which failed to partici-
pate in the rise did not occasion more
than trifiing advance in the price of

vance at early date. Another as
sisting factor will be the advance in
copper which now seems assured in

ings reports of resumption of mill
activity in New England and some
large merchandise orders placed in
concert by St. Louis people. Textile
trade reports described the good eff
fects of the curtailment of produc-
ton in that trade, the consequent
depletion of stocks and the reduction
of prices following the lowering of
wages.
When admission was made during
the day that steel bar manufacturers
were meeting the cut of the smaller
interests in that trade to 81 40 some
contrasts were drawn between the
policy which has been pursued in
the textile industries and that of per-
sistent holding of prices which has
been adopted in the steel trade.

Steel was unresponsive to the early
rise In the market and weakened a
sharp fraction after the official an
nouncement regarding bar prices
were given out.
The reaction in the Hartman Pa

Harmcr's Change Of Faith.

The action of Harvey w. Harmer
in openly eliminating himself from
the Republican party, was, in our
judgment, somewhat hasty. 1t would
be somewhat difficult for Mr.. Har-
mer to offer any reasonable excuse
for leaving the party, other than the
fact that the members of that party
have manifested a desire not to keep
him perpeually in office. The party
has been somewhat generous to Mr..
Harmer III the past; but other young
Republicans in Harrison county in
sisted on recognition, and Mr.. Har-
mer was, by the majority of the vot-
vi of his party, required to temper
arily step aside and give the other
boys chance for short time. This,
1t seems to us. was only reasonable,
but Mr.. Harmer did not take well to
the proposition and at once began to
sulk. and, during the last three city
campaigns. lent his assistance to the
opposition party, twice by playing in
to the hands OF the Democrats as a
candidate for mayor. himself. and the
third time by openly supporting Mr..
Wood. the Democratic candidate,
against Mr.. Lynch. the Republican
nominee, who was the unanimous
choice of his party for the place. in
an open, fair primary. Therefore,
the step taken by Mr.. Harmer a,
