In view ot rumors as lo Secretary Shaw's plana for relieving the money market In the event of possible string ency,' the secret at y authorised Assis tant Secretary Alles, at Washington D.

Nntlonal bank are en titled to Issue circulation to the full nmount of their capital. The aggre Sate capital or National banks Is $7iMMii!0.iMn, but the banks have out standing only :l.'i8,iMio,iou or circula tion. Thn secretary has hoped to In trod uce an element or elasticity Intn the present system. Ills suggestions to the various banks In the larger cities that they make preparation ror additional circulation have met with very favorable response. It Is not bin Intention thnt they should Issue this additional circulation at all events but only In case or actual necessity and emergency. I In does not propose to Inflate the currency in any sensn, but to be prepared to meet the actual currency demand should one arise. With tills In view those banks which have made arrangements to deposit United Slates bonds as security for such additional circulation have sunt In their orders, and the secretary has bad all branches of the treasury ser vice busily engaged In expediting the preparation of tho notes pending a possible emergency. All this work of preparation does not indicate that the reeretary will expect the banks to Is sue additional notes except In re rpouso to real necessity. Tho move ment Is purely prudential and pre cautionary, and Intended to relieve any possible currency famine. It does not conflict at. all with any ot the various other methods which have heretofore been employed by the de pni'itnent in relieving the money m ir ket."

Dun & Co.' Weekly Review of Trado says: Fuel scarcity Is still the one serious Industrial handicap. Protracted Idleness at anthracite mines Increased the pressure for soft coal and coke, and, despite new rec ords of 'output, deliveries are utterly inadequate owing to the lack of mo tive power. This freight blockade of coke trains has closed many furnaces, while the Increasing call for trans porting facilities on crop account gives little prospect of early relief.

Quotation are steadily maintained, with the market In healthy condition. There la some evidence that supple mentary orders will command higher prices, especially If raw wool make any further advance. Footwear shop at the east have assurance ot full operation for two months, although there 1 much complaint ot quotation In connection with the sensational movement of the material. Packer Okie at Chicago have attained new high record prices, and oak sole leath er has advanced. 8taple product average somewhat higher in price, owing to lei uniformly good new from the agricultural sections.
