PLANS FOR NEW BANK NOTES
Old Plates Not Made Useless by
the Currency Law.
BY Insertion OF COR other SecurItiesr
They May BE Utilized by
Printing Bureau.

The Treasury authorities expect TO have
the new bank currency, authorized by the
new financial bill. ready for circulatio-
not later than July l. The new issa
would be deferred much beyond tn.
time but for the fact that the plate
already in existence for printing ma
tional bank currency will be utilized.
II has been found that the present
plates. OF which there IS a separate one
Tor every national bank in the United
States, can be used for the new notes.
simply by inserting the words "or other
securities"
To avoid the enormous task Of prepar-
ing thousands of new and finely-engraved
plates. the new form Of notes containing
the words. United States government
bonds or other securities" will be issued
in cases OF all banks calling for addi-
tional currency. and the old form Will
be abandoned
According TO this plan, the same form
Of notes will be used whether the secu-
rity for national bank notes consists OF
government bonds or Of State and mu-
nicipal bonds and commercial paper.
Assistant Secretary Coolridge OF the
Treasury had a conference yesterday
afternoon with Director Ralph, Of the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing Plans
for turning out the new form of bank
currency were discussed, and Mr.. Ralph
brought over with him from the bureau
proofs Of some of the new notes as specl-
mems. It was decided 10 issue new notes
Of the S. so. and $50 denominations as
soon as possible. for these notes are in
constant demand
The Northumberland act authorizes the
issue OF nine different denominations. but
all these may not be issued at once.
Within week the printing OF the smaller
denominations will be begun. Twenty
one days must then elapse before the
notes are placed in circulation. in order
to season the new money.
IL was brought out in the tall between
Mr. Coolridge and Mr.. Ralph that not
more than 10 per cent Of the national
banks issue currency in denominations
larger than $40. and that the total num-
Der OF large notes is relatively small
Roughly, In fact. 20 per cent OF bank cur
rency is in the denomination OF s., 60
per cent in So and 20 per cent in 50
notes.

MISUNDERSTANDING
New England Mills Resume
Full-time Schedules.
INVOLVES $4,000 EMPLOYEES
Believed 10 BE Beginning of End of
Depression Following the Panic.
Increased Demand Cause of Re
sumption - Expect Improvement
After Election Has Passed.

Boston, June 1.-The close OF the first
five months Of 1905 marks what Is believed
to be the beginning OF the end Of the de-
preston in New England manufacturing
centers since the panic last fall
To-day many mills which have been On
short time for months started their ma
chinery on full-time schedules. A num-
Der increased their output the last week.
and thus far manufacturers employing
about $1,000 persons have given notice Of
the abolition Of short-time schedules.
The welcome change is due largely 10
an increased demand for textile goods.
The long period Of curtailment has de-
pleted stocks in the hands OF Jobbers, and
the spring trade has revived business
with retailers.
Manufacturers, while they feel that the
crisis has been passed, do not anticipate
a boom until the political situation has
been cleared. 1t is expected that there
viii be more or less short time during the
summer. and possibly wage cuts in some
instances.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPERITY.

The Manufacturers Record states
that the corn crop for the year is
estimated at over 2,707, 900, 900
bushels, against $685., 100000 in
1907. Here is gain of 115, 0OO,-
600 bushels. But corn is selling
at more than 20 cents bushel
above the same time last year. At
this rate the crop would be worth
$685. 600, 800 more than last year,
or about 1920, 100000, against
81 1886, 100000 in 1907.
The wheat crop is estimated at
678, 900, 900 bushels, or gain of
A, 100000 bushels over last year
Wheat is much higher than at the
same tina in 1907, the difference
at present being about 10 cents a
bushel. On this basis wheat would
bring over $100,O00,000 in excess
of last years total value. These
two crops, should the parity of
prices over 1907 continue as great
as at present, would thus bring to
the farmers about 1915, 000,O to
800, 100000 more than last year.
Even should prices largely decline,
there would still be room for q
great gain over 1907.
In view of these facts and of the
general increase throughout the
country in nearly all leading crops,
we believe it is safe to estimate
that the total value of the farm
products of 1908 will approximate
IS, 100000 as compared with
81 400, 100000 in 1907.
If present conditions hold cut
and this tentative estimate is real
lied, the farmers will receive about
$8OO,O0O,000 more for their crops
than they did last year. These
facts spell prosperity" In big let.
tiers for the agricultural interests
of the country. They show a steady
gain in the value of farm products
of such tremendous import as to
indicate that we have not yet seen
the cumulative effects of this ad-
vance.

COCAINE.

One of the menacing evils of
this country is the extending use
Of the drug called cocaine. The
New York Times says:
OF cocaine, the most insidious
of known narcotics--a drug that
wrecks it's victim more swiftly and
surely than opium-there is all
enormous quantity being used in
this country. Despite the enact
ment of drastic laws looking to
the suppression of illicit traffic in
the deadly drug, it is estimated
that between 1875, 900 and IT'S, 900
ounces are annually consumed in
this country, the greater part in
New York City. The drug has
many legitimate uses, but of the
vast quantity annually consumed
it is estimated that fully $4,000
ounces goes to wreck the bodies,
minds and souls of it's unhappy
victims. More swift and terrible
in it's after-effects than any of the
narcotics, it's use, through the
greed of unscrupulous druggists,
through insidious patent medi-
cines which contain the drug and
through peddlers Who make secret
and furtive sales of coke" has
spread to alarming proportions.

A MOST REMARKABLE OPERATION.

News of one of the most remark
able operations, performed by a
surgeon at the Emergency Hos
pital, in Washington, D. c., is just
made public. A young colored
boy had succumbed while under
the influence of chloroform during
all operation for an infected knee.
The pulse died, and after resort
ing to artificial respiration with
out result, the surgeon opened the
body and for seven minutes mas
saged the heart with his fingers.
Finally the heart puisated gently,
and after eighteen minutes the
surgeon had the heart pulsating
normally. For day and a half
following the operation the boy re-
manned in excellent condition, but
blood poisoning set in from the in
fected knee, causing death. The
operation is regarded by medical
students as unique in the annals
of medicine and opens up a new
field for surgery where persons ex-
pire under the influence of anaes-
thetics.
