Banking Measure
Before Congress

Washington, Oct. p olitical
Washington, relieved Of the long
drawn-out consideration of the tariff,
will focus its attention this week on
banking and currency legislation.
Though the administration Gun
rency bill easily passed the House, its
pathway in the eSnate is admittedly
full of obstacles.
While there was unanimity of opin-
ion on the part of tariff revisionists,
widely divergent views are held by
Democratic Senators on banking re-
form. A strong desire for single
bank with branches under govern
ment control instead of regional re-
serve system of banks had made its
appearance in the informal discuss
ion.
The President wants thorough con-
sideration of the currency bill and any
improvement that the Senate can

the House will be welcomed.
President Wilson believes a general
decrease in the cost of living that
will be felt by the rank and file of the
country is not dependent alone on
tariff revision, but upon prompt re-
form of the nations monetary system
as well as careful amendment of the
antitrust laws. Another essential TO
free competition, in the Presidents
view, is freedom of credit With the
concentration of credit, what the
President in his Chicago speech last
January described as an "inner Cir
cle," even the benefits of trust regula-
ton and tariff reduction can be with
held from the consumer by the sitting

AS soon as the December session
opens, the administration will begin
to center its attention on an anti

MARKET REPORTS
LOS ANGELES PRODUCE.

Los Angeles, Oct. i-SWeet potatoes
are plentiful on the Los Angeles pro-
duce market at present, with the re-
suit that they were quoted at from
Ia to 1A cents a pound yesterday.
Receipts have been large and regular
for several weeks, and, although the
demand is good, the supply is so
bountiful that the price was forced
down. Cucumbers are firmer than
they have been for a long time, for
the recent hot spell dried up many Of
the vines and materially cut down the
supply. Shipping stock was quoted
at from S5 to 80 cents lug yesterday
and that to local trade but a little
lower. Green beans brought around
712 to cents a pound and limas 4 to
5 cents. Peas are still very firm and
range from to cents a pound.
There are some pomegrantes com
ing on the market at present and they
sold for $1.50 a half orange box yes
terday. This is the month FOR them
and they will be mucn more plentiful
and cheaper in about two weeks. Can
taloupes are very scarce and 91.75 IS
the lowest price for the small crates
of the Paul Jones. Most houses re-
ceive very few each day. Pears bring
around 5 and cents for the Bartletts
and around 3 to 4 cents for the Win
ter Nellis variety from Alvisa. Crap
es were unchanged, with the eXcep-
tion of Muscats, which were quoted
at 81 a box yesterday.
There was no sales Of any sort on
the exchange and the prices of eggs,
