Farm currency wins in caucus in Washington August 26
Washington August 26—The house democratic caucus adopted an agricultural currency amendment to the administration currency bill. The measure allows the federal reserve to discount notes and bills of exchange arising from agricultural industrial or commercial transactions and sets a ninety day maturity. Rep Neeley of Kansas declared victory as the Glass amendment aligned with his position. The caucus also defeated an attempt to bar futures or marginal trading notes from rediscounting and failed to divide federal reserve districts.
