'J3.—The internation

al monetary conference opened here on Tuesday. It is one of the most important international conventions of recent years and the outcome of its deliberations will be anxiously awaited in financial circles the world over. No formality attended the assembling of the delegates, although a large crowd assembled on the outside of the state department for the pnrpo.se of catching a glimpse of the distinguished men from abroad as they left their carriages and ascended tlie marble steps. The large audience chamber of the department had been

selected for the purpose of the gathering. The delegates arrived in twos and threes and were made acquainted one with another.

Nations Ilepreseiited.

The delegates from tin' I'nited States were late in arriving Senator Allison, of Iowa, and Congressman McCreary, of Kentucky, came in together, and President Andrews, of llrown university: Senator Jones, of Nevada. and ll. \Y.

I'ortugal, Spain, Russia, Sweden. Switzerland and Norway. The delegates from Canada had not put in an appearance at the opening of the conference. The German delegation was a distinguished oue. comprising Count Yon

Alvonsleben. the Herman minister to Belgium Dr. Yon Gtasenap, chief of the imperial treasury department, and Herr llertung. director of the Reichbank. million Mailr Temporary Chiiirmau.

The delegates were welcomed by M. Beermaert, prime minister and minister of finance, and having performed that duty he excused himself from further attendance for the time being on account of pressing business in the chamber of deputies.

Delegate Cannon, of the United States, was made temporary chairman pending a formal organiza tion. It was announced by the English delegate that in accordance

conference as a purely deliberative body, and would Vie without the power to commit their government to any position that tne majority may desire to take. The American delegates were then invited to state the proposals they desired submitted for discussion, and a committee was appointed to prepare a definite plan of procedure.

M. MouteHurtj l.evi to Preside. Upon the conclusion of M. Heernaert's speech Hon. E. Terrell. United states minister to Belgium, thanked the prime minister for tlie cordial welcome extended to the delegates and expressed the respectful homage of tlui American delegates for the king of tho Helgians. Mr. Terrell concluded his remarks by proposing .M. Montefiore Levi as president of the conference. .M. Levi's selection was unanimously agreed to.

M. Levi said that he accepted the honor of presiding over the deliberations, knowing that it was intended for Helgium rather than for himself. lie referred to the numerous attempts made to solve the monetary question, mentioning specially the ib'itish gold and silver cominis-

fiion of 1SSC) as distinguished abovo all other similar bodies by it.s eminently praetieal character. Tin worst feature of the present monetarj' situation was its instability, lie hoped the conference would sink its individual interests and keep in view the higher interest of the great human family.

The conference arranged to meet three times each week. The AincrI ican proposal will be submitted oil I Friday, to which the conference adjourned.

Europe's i: tl,S(i.") miles, Asia's 18,70S miles, anil Africa's miles making an aggregate of but 15». miles. It is interesting to note the astonishing growtn of the railway mileage of the United States from the census year of l!S !0, when there were less than 40 miles of railway, up to lsi»0.

There was a committee of five appointed to solicit subscriptions on the lloor and in it few minutes 51.500 were raised, part of it from the old flood fund. Other subscriptions will be taken.

dis

covery has just been made that the wheat crop of Minnesota and the Dakota* is many millions of bushels above all estimates. The leceints Monday at Twin City elevators were over 1,100 cars, the heaviest day's business of the season. V.ut on many other days during the last month r"ceio'.s have run up to nearly 1,000 cars.

Grain men do not know just what to think of the situation. They are till at sea regarding what they are to expect. They have been estimating the crop at from So.000.000 to lUo,000,000 bushels for the. three big wheat states, but they arc all beginning to hedge, now. Those who have put their figures at 100,000,000 have added from 10,000,000 to'JO.000,000 more, and those who figured higher than that originally have all gone up as high as 1:10.000,000 or more now. On the basis of the receipts up to date they cannot do anything 1st and be at all consistent wmi their previous philosophy. One prominent elevator manager who started the season with a very modest estimate has pushed it up to the 1:!0,000.01)0 mark alin his belief few millions

more before he gets through.
