The bank statement last night is quite un-
favorable to the market. The deposits have
fallen off $476906 the legal-tenders 1920, 56i,
and the specie $104, ,340 There has been also a
corresponding contraction of loans, amounting
to 1857, 725 showing that they have a full dis
count line, and that contraction is not only a
policy but necessity. The demand to-day is
active as usual, and rates are quite firm.
Gold continues quiet but steady, all the sales
being confined within the very limited range of
1872 and 113T, closing at the lower figure.
Speculation is entirely at fault, aud the trans
actions are limited to the business wants of the
market.
Government bonds are active and steady at
last nights quotations.
At the Stock Board, as elsewhere there was an
entire absence of speculative feeling. The sales
were only moderate and limited to a small por-
tion of the usual list. Prices were slightly off.

Reading Railroad was quite active and sold

Amelie, Duchess of SaXony whose death is an

She born in 1884, and after an extensive tour in
Europe, applied herself to literary pursuits. She
wrote under the assumed name of Amelie Heiter
two comedies in verse, which were performed i'm
Dresden in 1929 and 1880, and were favorably re-
ceived. Encouraged by the success of these pieces
she prepared numerous others, which were per-
formed at the theatres of Germany, and enjoyed
great popularity The leading feature in her dra-

the virtues of the middle classes were placed in
contrast with the vices OF persons in higher rank.
The liberal sentiments thus expressed secured her
many friends, and rendered her generally popular
Besides the writings referred to, the Duchess COM
