At a meeting of the lady managers, Mrs, General Logan urged that the business be hurried through. “Every day we stay here,” said she, “'costs the nation over §1,000. Let us do_something and save ourselves from ridicule.” The ~ board then worked industriously on the formulation of its ideas of what it wanted to ask from the national commission. Among the matters proposed by the different members were: An adminis- trative building for the use of the board on the fair grounds; a separate building for the exhibition of womans work; the salary of the secretary to be £5,000; that' every exhibit be accompanied with o’ statement’ specifying whether it 1s or is not *‘produced in whole or in part by female labor." © conference committee of the national commission aud_local directory, after an all day's session, adopted the report providing for the buvean system. bureaus und a director general will direct the destiny of ~the worlds fair.

A VARETY OF RECOMMENDATIONS. There I8 an Abundance of Money Somewhere—Comparative State- ment of Gold, Silver and Paper Used by the Banks, Wasmsaroy, Nov. f.—The report of Comptroller of the Currency Lacey covers operations of the bureau for twelve month ending October 81. During this veriod 307 new banking associations were organized, fifty have gone into voluntary liquidation and nine were placed in the hands of receivers, Tho net increase is 248, constituting a larger growth than for any similar veriod since The number of active banks October 507, These banks have in capital bonds deposited to securo 140,190,000, and bank notes out- standing 043, including 854,796,007 represented by lawful money deposited to ve- deem circulation still outstanding. 'l decrease in circulatlon during the circulation, tiquidating a decrease of circu States bonds, £5, 48, At bort the gross deposits of these ncludimg amounts due the banks, was § 502,067 ; loans and discounts $1 Both these items show a great increase ¢ any previous report, The comptrolier again calls attention to the fact that the issue of circulating notes has be- come unremunerative on account of the high pramium commanded by federal bonds; re- news the reconmendation that the obligatory deposit of bonds be reduced ; the circulation issued be equal in amount to the par value of the bonds pledged, and the semi-annual duty be fixed at onc-fourth of one per cent per annum. The passage of a bill to this_effect, now pending in both houses, would at once increase the volume of paper money by about $15,000,000, which would in a marked degree relieve the present monetary stringency. New associations could form more rapidly without advancing the premiuiaon bonds necessarily purchased by the secretary of the treasury for the sinking fund. The passage of the act providing for the purchase of silver bullion is considered by the comptroller tantamount to a declaration that the national banks are not to be called upon to furnish additional circulation, evi dently needed and a discussion of the meas- ures broviding for the extension and perpet- uation of note issues based on some new form of security is deemed inoppartune. The exhaustive statement of the propor- coin, paper money, etc., used in bank- 1 1851 and 1590 shows an in- equal to 63 per o which is deemed significant when considered in counnection with the present apparent in- sufficiency in the amount of coin and paper money in circulation. The comptroller says it is evident the lack of currency is greatly aggravated by the retirement of national bank notes, which form of paper clone possesses that clastic property so essential in - per i i All the money issued dircctly by the gover ment is necessarily non-clastic by reason of being in all cases available for “the lawful money reserve of the national banks and in most cases possessing legal tender qualit The compiroller says if the rapid extension is a correct criterion, the national banking system is more favorsbly regarded than heretofore and the transactions of the year have been attended by riore than the ave age degree of success. = e ALL PRESIDE. tion secured 1, PARNELL Mecting of Home-Rule Members Prior to the Opening of the House.
