Memphis boy bears witness.
HIS mother was telling him Of the

NEW YORK. Dec 9.-The market out
look is for irrcsularity. with further de-
clines in most parts of the list curing
the remainder Of the calendar year. Some
slight rally may take place early this
week. but. according 10 conservative
brokers. it is not likely TO continue for
long. Technical conditions still favor the
bear professionals. There is always the
possibility that the important upward
movement, now locked FOR with the rev
year. may anticipate that date. but us yet
no signs of revival are 10 be detected.
The stock market during the past week
has been weak and irregular with net
declines in the greater number of issues.
Professional traders have been hearisn
and their operations have been helped by
the liquidation of weak commission
house customers who evidently feared The
money market outlook.
Holders who have bought stocks on slim
margins have, Of course, some reason for
fear. But people who have bought stocks
on good margins, with reserve margins
on hand. have no reason TO worry and no
reason to sell their holdings at loss.
and moreover the present is mol good
market in which TO go short. Whatever
takes place in the money market viii he
temporary only. while the chances are
that money developments will not be Of
the disturbing nature that Wall Street
traders predict.
Contrary 10 expectation and precedent,
the return flow of currency from the in
terror has not begun. Money not only
fails to move this way but the South and
West continue to draw on this centre.
which. with payments to the Sub-Treas
ury. acts as serious drain upon local
reserve holdings. The reserve decreased
last week over 50 G00,Gc0.
The out of town movement of money
merely reflects an active trade situation
throughout the country. Proposed re-
ducticns in the war revenue taxes will
have an important effect upon money sup
plies. and whenever money becomes scarce
gold can be brought here from Europe.
Although the local situation is rot in
immediate danger Of money scarcity.
the Treasury Department has decided to
anticipate January Government bond in
terest payments, and if further assistance
should be needed the Government will, as
il has dcne in the past, take action in
favor OF The city banks.
Underlying conditions in the money
market are sound People who permit
themselves TO be led into believing that
trouble is in sight will make serious
mistake. Trade is active and needs money.
and at this particular time. when arrange
ments must soon be made for enormous
January interest disbursements. ii would
be surprising if money rates did not Gd-

OF every opportunity 10 depress values.

The disease that has been the cause OF the
death of number of dry cows at the St
Elizabeth Asylum barns has not yet been
named by the government experts. who are
still making tests TO determine the ques-
ton. The latest theory TO be advanced was
that rabies exists among the cows, but the
officials of the bureau of animal industry
have yet to state this positively. In the
cases of several cows. where examinations
were made after DEATH tuberculosis was
found to exist. 1t is thought the malady
has not been entirely eradicated from the
dry herd yet. DR.. Richardson. the super
intendent of the asylum, has decided that
the entire herd Of cattle belonging to the
hospital shall be tested TO determine
whether or not this disease of tuberculosis
is present. The hospital has lost now about
sixteen or seventeen cows.

sire to give proper expression to our heart
felt sorrow and our sincere sympathy for
his family in their bereavement. We deeply
deplore his death, as removing from among
us one to whom We Were greatly attached
by the ties of friendship, and who was a
good citizen of high type of manhood.
His example and influence were bene-
fetal to those with whom he daily came in
contact. and the very general expression Of
personal grief on every hand evidences the
affection and regard of his many friends
and acquaintance. with whom his warm
heart and genial disposition will be a cher
ished memory.
His long and active membership in the
Georgetown Amateur Orchestra has en-
deared him to us musician, associate
and friend. His personal influence has done
much to aid the organization from its ear

our number whose place 1t will be difficult
to fill
1t was ordered that a committee be ap-
pointed to represent the organization al the
funeral, which will take place tomorrow.
