BERLIN,s ALARM Is LEssENED.
Recent Reports Are More EncOurng-
ing TO Financial Circles.


BERLIN, Dec. 16.-In financial circles
last week attention was devoted chiefly
to the affairs of the mortgage banks.
The weekly financial reviews freely admit
that the market was rapidly drifting
toward panic until a syndicate of Ber-
lin bankers was organized for the pro-
lection of the holders of obligations OF
the Prussia Hypotheken Aktien bank
The danger was intensified early in the
week by the announcement that the
Pomeranian Hypotheken bank and the
Mecklenburg- -Strelitz Hypotheken bank
would discontinue repurchasing their OBJ
legations, and so great was the apprehen-
sion that the published statement of the
United Mortgage banks, asserting that
their own condition was perfectly sound,
did not have an immediate effect Never
the1ess this statement and the organiza-
ton of a syndicate quieted alarm, and
at the end of the week the selling of
obligations had markedly diminished and
the general tone of the market improved.
The declines for the week in mortgage
bank obligations range from two to eight
points which means an enormous loss
on the six billion marks in such securl-
ties circulating in Germany.
Yesterday morning the committee OF
holders of obligations of the Deutsche
GerundschaIt bank published state
ment showing that the most recent bal
anee sheets of the institution were false,
and that during the last eighteen months
Al 100000 marks of first class mortgages
had been replaced by second class, mostly
worthless, and the committee asks the
holders to take measures to avoid bank
ruptcy, thereby saving from 3o.O0e,000
marks to 40,000,0 900 marks.
The mortgage bank affairs affected the
money market. inasmuch as the banks
have entirely withdrawn from the loan
business and, on the contrary, are bor-
rowing in order to repurchase their OBJ
legations. Private discount reached 49s
per cent, and call loans per cent. The
Reichsbank still expects to maintain the
existing rate until Dec. 81
Foreign exchange tends to favor Ger
many The mortgage bank affair has
increased the demand for government
and municipal loans, and also for foreign
railway securities. especially Of favorable
terms of naturalization.
American securities were strong at the
end Of the week. sympathizing with New
York quotations.

to IL points better. Americans made de-
cided progress during the week, in spite
of heavy realizations. The feature of the
market in this department was the buy
ing of Eries, which naturally has a good
effect on the coal lines. Readings were
in special demand yesterday when the
market was buoyant from start to
finish. from sharp advances. and closed at
the best figures for the day. Among the
increases were Chie&go, Milwaukee &
st, Paul shares which rose 5 points;
Northern Pacific 2sz; Union Pacific 2$s;
l.. & N. 2ss Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe preferred 21s; Atchison, Topeka &c
Santa Fe ordinary 2z; Reading first 15s;
Reading seconds IA; Reading ordinary
rs and Baltimore & Ohio IL. Capadians
sympathetically affected were also Smuch
strengthened by rumors of reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
the Dominion of Canada, Grand Trunk
issues going from q to 2% points higher.
Mining shares We're quite dull through
out the week, the changes being unirn-
portant. Bar silver which was dull in
consequence Of the absence of further
India buying declined to 29ssd per ounce.
Financial troubles in Berlin are expect
ed to further German buying of gold
here, In which event the rate for money
will be raised
Money was in good supply and rates
firm. Cali money 2 per cent; fixtures 3
to 3A three months bills 2B to per

THIN CHILD

If child is thin, let him
take a little of SCOTS emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
Some children like it too
well; begin with a little. A
half or quarter-teaspoonful is
enough at first, if the stomach
is weak; but increase, as you
find the stomach will bear.
The effect is: the little one
takes on strength; gets hungry;
eats and is happy; gets fat-he
ought to be fat-and gets
healthy.
Well send you a little to try if you like.
