ALDRIcHs FINANCE BILL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-After two
sessions Of the Senate finance committee
the members were in possession Of .
fair idea Of what shape Aldrich's flnan.
cial bill Is to be in when 1t is ready next
week. 1t is said he is practically certain
that the limit OF extra currency which
the bill provides shall be raised is from
$250,0oO,0O0 to S5OO0OO,OOo. Most of the
members believe this figure is not too
high for the time of emergency. The
tax on emergency issues win not, it is
believed, be higher than Q per cent.
Bailey's amendment reducing the re-
quired population Of county or munich
pality whose bonds are to figure in
currency issues from $220,000 to $4,000
is expected to receive the support Of
the majority Of the committee Dolli-
yer will probably offer an amendment
excluding the railroad bond feature of
the bill and this may call for the elimi,
MOTION of such securities. Bailey will no
doubt support him in such project,
There is Thought, however, to be sufiic-
lent opposition to such an amendment
in the committee to defeat it.

last night at the meeting Of the Chicago
Credit Mems Association. The proposal
was enthusiastically received by repre-.

means 20 put the plan into operation.
The plan Is simply the adaptation of
the bankers clearing house system" to
the needs OF mercantile affairs. Large
houses would proceed at once
to effect debtor and creditor settlements
among themselves. by the exchange Of
cancelled checks, in manner similar TO
the settlements made by banks, with
no necessity for the exchange Of real
money.
These mercantile settlements win be
made on the basis of the values of sound
