Gover nors and federal reserve agents of all tbe banks telegraphed their congratula tions and their promises of, cooperation in making the system a success. No definite data of the business done was available tonight, lut Secretary Willis telegraphed each bank for an account of its rediscount business for tne oay ana expected to be able to lay a report before the board tomorrow. The board may not be willing to draw any definite plans from one day's busi Bess, but the first week may have a material effect and may result in augmenting the cash now in the treasury and tbe transferor most of the government funds now. deposited in national banks.

16. The first day of business on the New Tork cotton exchange since the outbreak of war and the abrupt closing of all markets last July, was generally considered most satisfactory. There was not th rush of investment buying which some few traders had anticipated, but neither was there any great volume of selling here as a hedge" against southern spot and trading was comparatively quiet. In addition to the uncertainty to values under war conditions, general business was doubtles restricted to some extent by lack of familiarity witi the new contract in southern spot markets.

While the forces of destruction are being mobil ized in ever increasing eirengin in xne warring countries of Europe, constructive agencies, public and private, are at work on this side of the Atlantic 1 and resources of peace are being concentrated to overcome the effects of the world war. All information reaching governmental departments here indicates that the gloom and depression which overtook business enterprise in the United States when the. war storm burst is slowly drawing aside and glimpses of present and coming prosperity are visible. The hopeful outlook for American ventures was summarized today by Secretary Redtield in a letter to the chamber of commerce of the United States, in which he declared. Condition Relatively Bright.

"LeC the worst be said and admitted that can be said respecting existing business difficulties in America, our condition still remains not only relatively bright, but rapidly Improving, and In many respects both prosperous and promising. Secretary's Letter. The secretary's letter In part fol lows: "No observer of the large movements in our commerce today fails to recog nize the great improvement that has been made in business conditions with in the last few weeks, and which is still progresing. The payment of our foreign obligations is no longer cause for serious worry, since an Import ex cess of $20,000,000 in August has been changed to an export excess of approximately sixty millions in October. This favorable process continues and there is every indication that it Is likely to continue long.

The deficit in our bank reserves In New York Which was a low as $43, 000,000 In August rose, to a surplus reserve early this month of $18,000,000. The course of exchange has become more normal. Clearing house certificates are being retired. Large sums of emergency notes have been withdrawn and with the opening of the federal reserve system great additional supplies of loanable funds have become available. There is no longer serious concern over our financial future." LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET Vegetables Cabbage, 95c potatoes, 60c; radishes, "30 to 40c; lettuce, 50c dozen; beets.

NEW TORK, Nov. 16. Inauguratoin of the federal reserve system, and the formal reopening of the cotton exchange and the curb market were tm outstanding factors of influence In the financial district today. From all nc counts. the new banking laws were put into effect at all of the twelve regional centers with a minimum of The importance of this undertaking may be judged from the fact that the new system embraces over 7.500 Institutions, having agjregat? capital and surplus of $1,783,000,000 and deposits of These new conditions found direct reflection not only in improved sentiment, but in an increased demand for investment securities at prices generally higher than those recorded since July 30 last.

Dealers' in bonds and notes reported a larger "over counter" business than recently and orders from out of town were declared to be in greater volume. Some of the Important financial interests were negotiating for municipal and state loans on a 5 per cent basis and new financing by some of the" prominent railways was said to be under consideration. Exchange on London wis decidedly easier as a result of frcerer offerings and absence of bids.

See Tup, makes a violent attack on the Christian religion. Dhe story is a horrible Chinese tragedy, but, acted by a company of exceptional merit, every member giving a finished production. There are strong lines, even the Savage production of "The Devil," containing nothing in thought or acting superior to the work of the artists or the lines in this act. There is an act of real merit, considering its teachings, its pleasure giving proclivities, its appeal to all that is good, its rollicking good natured wholesome fun, on the bill. That is Morris Golden, "'The Tlddle With a He is positively funny, a legitimate successor to Sol Smith Russell, Kendall and other real fun makers of dramatic history.

He has a violin and what Ezra Kendall was in Monologue Morris Orolden is with the violin. The bill opens with the Great Florences and Selika, but the only person who appeared was a magician, whose sleight of hand work was done with cards and cigarettes. His cigarette number is clever. Ellen Orr in song studies was suffering from hoarseness, Her little rag song was good. Toni Williams and company appear in a screaming farce, "My Boy's Wife," which is a simple story, extremely simply told, but relieved with some good acting by Williams and Lydla Willmore.

The rough and tumble comedy brings a laugh because the antics of a clown makes one laugh even In a one ring Big Jim, a' 400 pound bear, is billed as a wonderful attraction. As a dancing bear Bruin is fine and 'even when he tries roller skate he does well. It is an act which would appeal strongly to children. As is usual with all bear acts there is the customary offer of $10 to anyone' who will 'throw the bear.
