$2,000,000,000 Gold
Reserve Considered
WASHINGTON. June 3.—For the
Treasury to build up a$2,000,000,000
gold reserve, exercise absolute con
trol over the currency and retire gold
certificates, greenbacks and national
bank notes is the plan now receiving
careful consideration from member*
of the committees on banking cur
rency of both Houses
Instead of a central association
having control of the currency, as
proposed by the National Monetary
Commission, a national reserve divi
sion is established under exclusive
control of the Treasury.

As Sign of Anarchy
PARIS, June 3.—"It la a sign of
anarchy in any country when one
class of taxpayers are required to pay
an Impost from which the others are
exonerated. The generous ambition

stroy all privileges."
In these words M. Yves Guyot crys
tallizes the wide protests against the
Government’s action this week In em

•ON FINE WEATHER
Bears Ignore Bullish Figures and
Firm Cables and Hammer
Heavily Entire Day.
NEW YORK, June 3.—Firm cables
hud a little bearing on the conon mar
ket at the opening to-day and first
prices ranged from unchanged to 5
points higher than Monday’s close.
Trader* here appeared to be guided
more by the weather reports from the
belt rather than by the cables Weather
condition* over night were as nice as
any one could desire.
The market held rather steady before
the call, but Immediately displayed con
siderable weakness when the South
turned a seller and from many points
came advices claiming that conditions
were not so bad as indicated by the
Government report.
A Liverpool cable read: "Bureau dis
credited. but many have temporary ef
fect. Market will be lower If crop ac
counts continue favorable.”
July seemed in active demand during
the first fifteen minutes, but quickly
showed depression through heavy offer
ings, dropping 10 points td 11 44, against
an opening of 11.54. August declined 4
points from the opening, while new crop
positions were under pressure and re
ceded some 4 to 7 points from the in
itial range.
Sentiment continues bearish and the
ring inclined to supply the market with
plenty of cotton. Offerings were ab
sorbed mainly by brokers with spot
house connection.
Regardless of the low- percentage the
Government gave the crop yesterday, the
ring continued to liquidate. The aver
age trader expressed the belief that
there has been considerable improve
ment in the condition since May 25,
which private reports confirm.
During the afternoon session, July In
creased its decline to 11.41, a net de
cline of 13 points from the opening;
other positions followed the decline
rmxlerately About the only buying in
evidence was attributed to some trade
absorption and scattered short cover
ing, which prevented a more serious
break. The talent, however. Is not in
clined to take on any large lines, and
in the absence of outside business and
the holiday in New Qrleasn, business
was only moderate.
At the close the market was barely
steady with prices showing a net decline
>f 9 to 10 points from the final quota-
ions of Monday.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "The government confounded
them all Prior to the promulgation of
the condition report, when the hear tal
ent expected 83 and the bull talent
feared 82. room traders generally, but in
a small way, sold contracts short and
then advised their friends to do like
wise The government figure, 79.1, in
dicating the condition of the crop on
May 25, spread momentary consterna
tion among shorts, and thereafter, most
of them attended strictly to their own
business, which, in the main, related to
the covering up of outstanding interest.
The Government’s idea of the condition
of the crop ten days ago certainly does
not harmonize with the talent's idea
to-day.
"On May 25 a lengthy period of dry
weather had not fully come to an end.
Many sections were complaining of re
tarded germination, of the necessity for
repeated replanting, of a prospective
early start changed into a late start.
The talent knew’ all this, as the facts
had been exploited day after day. Then
the rains came and big crop expeota
tions took on renewed life. Recently
most excellent reports have come in
from Texas and Oklahoma particularly
and from other sections as well. Under
the circumstances, the wish being father
the thought and current advices hav
ing inspired increasingly optimistic crup
views, the ring began to count on a
bureau figure of between 82 and 83.
Consequently, most operators were
sharply disappointed when the figures
came 79.1.

MEMPHIS. June 3.—Sufficient buying
developed In Liverpool as result of low
condition report to cause moderate ad
vance. but as a whole the demand there
was disappointing, and It does not ap
pear that spinners are eager takers. In
New York the ring crowd sold after
Liverpool closed, bringing about a de
cline. Sentiment is bearish. Government
figures are not accepted and with the
weather favorable crop is making steady
advancement.

Dy CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, June 3.—Strength in
London gave Canadian Pacific a gain
of 2% at ihe opening of the New York
stock market to-day, although after
ward this issue lost part of Its ad
vance. However, It continued as a
leader and practically dominated the
sentiment felt toward all active securi
ties.
The tone was nervous and uncertain.
Reports that the slump in Canadian Pa
cific. which Kent It to a new low level,
nearly 70 points below Its high record
of last summer, was caused by the con
stant calling of loans abroad, gave way
to the belief that, now that the Balkan
war is over, the situation will steadily
improve.
Among the declines here were Ana
conda Copper, %; United States Steel
common, %; Utah Copper, %; Southern
Pacific, %; Missouri Pacific, %; Great
Northern preferred, %; American Smelt
ing, %. Union Pacific advanced %,
Southern Pacific recovered its loss and
advanced. Fractional gains w r ere also
scored by Amalgamated Copper and
St. Paul Steel sold fractionally above
Its low of yesterday, which wan the
furtherest down Its price had been for
many months.
The curb market was irregular
Americans in London were improved,
with the Harrimans the most active.
Continued strength prevailed in the
market during the forenoon, with the
majority of the issues making gains.
Southern Pacific, Steel and Copper were
up %. Reading advanced % to 159%.
Canadian Pacific rose 3% to 219. Smel
ter declined 1Z to 62%. Lehigh and
Pennsylvania up %.
Northern Pacific was one of the most
prominent issues in the last hour’s trad
Ing, declining over 2 points to 111%.
Nearly all stocks fell below their mid
day range. Canadian Pacific dropped to
217, for the loss of over a point and the
same amount of loss was sustained by
Reading. Other stocks which shaded
were Amalgamated Copper, Steel and
American Can. Lehigh* Valley dropped
2 points on heavy selling A great deal
of stock was supplied by London. The
tone wa* heavy and weak.
The market closed weak.
Government bonds unchanged; other
bonds firm.

CHICAGO, June 3.—There was heavy
buying of wheat during the lust half
hour hy the big short of IwiSalle Street,
who has been on the selling side for
some time past and who seemed anxious
to secure a bundle of money that was
within easy reach in the way of profits.
The day’s closing showed net gains of
> H @ %c as compared with the resting
spots of last night. When the big short
inaugurated a buying movement it found
a large number of professionals on the
short side and the demand became per
sistent and quite general.
There was no export business. One of
the larger exporters here claimed that
the bids on spring wheat were consider
ably out of line and there were no re
ported transactions in the winter de
scription.
Coarse grains were higher and strong
with gains of %@lc In corn and %@%o
in oats.
Provisions were lower all around.

OPINION ON GRAIN.
CHICAGO, .Tune 3.—Bartlett, Frazier
A Co.: Wheat—The map shows gener
ally clear in Northwest; some rain in
Nebraska and showers in Iowa. In
Kansas precipitation rather general, but
chiefly of a showery character. Local
sentiment has become extremely bear
ish again and may force prices lower,
but we do not care to follow the decline.
Corn—Weather conditions over the
belt perfect. Speculative holders seem
firm in their views and there is ap
parently very little long corn on the
market.
Oats—As for some time past offerings
continue to be absorbed by commission
houses with local professionals the best
sellers. We look for a steady market.
Provisions—The undertone to the
market is one of strength.

WHEAT PRICES WILL SOAR
UNLESS GOOD RAINS FALL
CHICAGO, June 3.—The Inter-Ocean
says: "The bulls in wheat said that un
less the weather map to-day showed
heavier and more general rains than
were reported yesterday higher prices
are likely, although they admit that they
are not getting much help from the out
side public to bull the market.
“Most of the local trade were out of
their wheat last night and a fair-sized
short interest created. To have the
smallest visible supply of corn for June
1 in over 34 years with the crop the
largest on record, is the most surprising
feature of the corn trade. The bulls
argue- that it is greatly in their favor,
while the bears said it cut little figure,
as they believe that there are larger re
serves back in the country.”
