The origin of the half-penny and
farthing was in the time Of William
the Conqueror. When he began to
reign the penny was east with a deep
cross, SO that it might be broken in
half, as a half-penny, or in quarters
for fourthings, or f%arthings, as we now
call them.

In England the great religious pro-
test against extravaganza and against
care in dress came half a century later
than in France. Under the influence
of P~uritanism costume among men and
women grew far less extrayagant,
gradually reaching the comparative
simplicity of our own day.

MONEY, STOCKS And BONDS.
LIGHT TRADING IN STOCKS AND OF
A PERFUNCTORY CHARACTER.
And Prices Ruled Within n Narrow
Range and the Close Was Dull
and Heavy-Bonds Active,
but Tending Downward.

General ease characterized the money
market Of the country the past week.
Money continues 10 accumulate at the
East and demand moderate in the absence
of speculation. There was a general low
ering of rates and even that failed to put
life in the loan market. The Offering of
mercantile paper in New York was espe-
cially light and time paper was quoted at
3d3la per cent for thirty to ninety days,
and 3l2a+ per cent for longer loans. At
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago rates are
also lower. The New York bank state
ment Saturday showed a further increase
in loans of $l1,4l1,7G1 in legal tenders of
$4,S4l,S01. in loans of sS,6O00JO, but a de-
crease in specie of S936,1OJ0. The surplus
reserve increased Sl,O52, ,553, making it now
So, tt54, 100 above the p per cent rule.
The New York Financier. in speaking of
the statement, says: For the first time
since December Is, 1855, the deposits of the
New York clearing house banks exceed
S50o,Oc0000, the bank statement for the cur
rent week showing a total of $502. .046 coo, or
an increase since November last of S6S,-
60S, ,4O6. In other words, the gain has been
at the rate of $15,9OO0OO per week since the
Monday following the election. This rec
ord, 1t is unnecessary to say, has never
been surpassed in the history of the New
York banks.
There is, seemingly, no cessation in the
growth of the deposits. It reflects in part
the flow of money from the interior, but a
large percentage comes from the redepOsit
of boarded funds in savings banks Then,
too, there have been a number of finan-
cial operations of large magnitude, which
must be taken into consideration, and the
treasury has been losing money to the
banks.
The loan feature is not less marked
The expansion for the week brings the
total loans from s442 179. .70O reported No
vember I, to SAP, Al, 500 for the week just
ended, a gain of nearly $4,000 0O0.'
Here at Kansas City the general situa-
ton remains unchanged from a week ago.
The failure of the Missouri National bank
Monday of last week in nowise affected the
other banks, their strong condition and
heavy deposits putting them in a condition
to meet such a trouble without ripple,
and the loan market here remains quiet
and easy. Some little new demand is be-
ing had for funds on cattle paper, but
merchants and manufacturers are making
but few new loans. Rates remain un-
changed, still at 7uS per cent. Currency
shipments 10 the country light, the flow
being rather inward than outward. Bank
clearings for the week ending Tuesday,
$l2. O33O4S; same time last year. Sl2, 800 425,

lar speculation within q narrow range.
Dealings for foreign account, while mod
crate in volume, were mainly for the long
account, the presidential message apparent
ly being favorably received in London The
local traders, however made their usual
attacks upon the specialties for effect upon
prices generally. The result achieved,
however. barely justified even the mod
crate energy expended, owing TO the con-
tinued disinchnation of holders of stocks
to part with their property. Prices soon
rallied. after early declines, but the mar
ket, while exceptionally dull, again became
heavy and unsettled in tone. The closing
was steady with the net changes generally
losses.
The railway bond market exhibited ir-
regularity, especially in the usually
neglected issues. which were widely dealt
in, but the trend of prices was downward.

EXPERIMENTAL FARMING.
burlington Road Has EstabIishedFiye
Experiment stations in Kansas
and Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. S.-The attention soil
culture is receiving in the West determln-
ed the Burlington Railroad Company to
establish a number of experimental sta
tions. or "model FARMS" in order to
demonstrate the advantages Of the most
improved methods of soil culture, and lead
farmers of Nebraska and Kansas to new
efforts in this direction and enable them
to become independent, even in so-called
'drouth sections and dry years" In
cidentally, the company expects returns
from its investments in increased and reg
ular freight and passenger traffic. Mr. John
Francis has just returned from a trip over
Nebraska, and Kansas. where he has es-
tabffshed model farms at Oberlin, Kas..
and at McCoOk, Holdredge, Alma and
Broken Bow, Neb.
Something was done in this line by the
company last year and with immensely
satisfactory results. The farms consist OF
forty acres in each station. under the i'm
mediate supervision of a practical and trieC.
farmer of the neighborhood. Staples
corn, wheat, rye. oats and potatOeS-wiu
be produced. The farming at the expert
mental stations is conducted on the theory
that the rainfall of the West is ample and
abundant for all practical farming pur,
poses. and will seek TO demonstrate that
intelligent cultivation will invariably pro-
duCe good crops.
