In their decision. to raise the wholesale
price of milk and cream, the retailers OF

general farm conditions are said to have
made dairy farming less profitable this
year than in other years.

local retailers, said today:
'"fhe conditions are various. The long
dry spell has cut the grain crop. There

increase Of 8 cents q sAion on his milk

NATIONS TURNlRG FROM SILVER
ONLY SOME LITTLE LANDS
STILL CLINGING TO IT.
Report of Secretary Of Treasury on
Value Of Foreign Coins Is
Out Today.

The quarterly estimate of the value or
foreign coins has been issued by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. This document Is
issued to enable customs officers and
others to know the value. in American
money. OF the coins of all .<Antries. so
that exports of merchandise lay be esti-
mated for the imposition Of customs du-
ties. The law provides that this estimate
shall be issued on the first days OF jan
uary. April. July and October.
The estimates are made up for the Sec
rotary by the director of the mint. There
was a time. when many of the countries
Of the world were on a silver basis. that
this was a delicate problem. The yalua-
ton of foreign money fluctuated with the
price Of silver.
Mint Director Must Know.
1t is the business Of the director of the
mint to know the amount of silver and
gold In all foreign coins. In the last few
years. as every country Of Importance ex-
cept China has abandoned silver as its
standard. the work Of correcting the fig
ures each quarter is not difficult.
Guatemala, Honduras. Nicaragua and
Salvador, making up British Honduras.
are the only countries In the western
hemisphere with silver standard. and
Persia and Chins the only others of the
world. China has no uniform silver coin
in all Of her provinces. The tael Is the
monetary unit of that country. but in the
seventeen provinces Of the empire the tael
is of different size. its value depending
entirely upon the amount of silver con-
tanned. In Swallow province the tael is
worth just a little over Sc cents, while I'm
Annoy 1t is worth a little over 81 cents.
In Hongkong. the Mexican dollar cfrcu-
lates freely, worth at the present time
at something over 40 cents In another
three months the valuation Of the tael in
all the provinces doubtless will change.
depending entirely upon the huctuation In
the price of silver bullion.
Persia Uses the "Kran."
The monetary unit in Persia IL the
kran, with an intrinsic value at this time
of about cents. The silver coinage OF
that country consists of one-quarter. one
half, one, two and five krans. There is
some gold, but not much.

National Geographic Society Urges
Submission Of Evidence.
MOORE DECLINES INVITATION
President Of Organization Will Not
Present Explorer When He
Lectures in Washington.

Owing to the neutral attitude Of the
National Geographic Society with regard
to the controversy between DR.. Cook and
Commander Peary, Prof. Willis l.. Moore
director of the United States weather bu-
reau and president of the National Coo
graphic Society, has declined an invita-
ton to introduce DR.. Cook to the people
Of Washington when the arctic explorer
appears at the National Theator Sunday
night.
Resolutions Are Adopted.
At the meeting of the board Of man
ayers. held in Hubbard Memorial Hall.
the following resolutions were adopted q
an introduction to the reports Of DR..
Cook and Commander Peary. 70 b print
ed in the magazine Of the National Geo
graphic Society.
I'VE print herewith the reports Of DR..
+. A. Cook and Commander Robert y.
north pole April n. 1908, and April 8.
1909. Before the society can, however, &C.
cept the conclusions Of either Commander
Peary or DR.. Cook that the north Dole
has been attained 1t will be necessary
that the scientific records and data of
it's committee on research or by some
body or commission acceptable to the
board.
''The society takes this, position not
from any distrust of the personal integrity
of either explorer. but because Of the
many calculations that enter into the de-
termination Of the pole. The National
Geographic Society urges Commander
Peary and DR.. Cook speedily to submit all
their observations, notes and data to a
coupetent scientific commission in the
United States"
Moore Sorry to Back Out.
As far as he is personally concerned, 1t
is understood, Prof. Moore would be glad
to introduce DR.. Cook. Inasmuch as any
action of his in this case would probably
be taken as official. he cannot go against
the stand taken by the scientific society
Of which he is president.
It Is hardly likely that any scientific
man will appear on the platform with
DR.. Cook. The discoverer Of the pole
will be introduced by some prominent
washingtonian selected by those inter-
ssted in his visit to the capital.
No word has been received by the
District Commissioners yet as to the
proposed reception to DR.. Cook at the
District building Monday. Definite an
swer Is expected this afternoon.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning a lons
line had formed in front OF the Ma
tional Theater to await the opening OF
the ticket office for the sale Of tickets
for Dr. Cooks lecture. The demand has
been unusually heavy. Indications are
that, regardless of what the scientists
say or do, the Washington public is
with DR.. Cook
In Pittsburg recently a newspaper
took q coupon poll of its subscribers
on the controversy. Nine thousand
voted Cook the discoverer of the pole
Four hundred voted for Peary.
