Pekiu, Jan. 2s.-Tbe latest move of

Having now felt the pulse Of the COun-

SIX-FOOT SISTERS.
The Height of American Women is
Increasing.

Increasing.
(PiUtsbUrg NeWs)
While man has always been accus-
toned to look up" to woman in fig
urative sense, it is only within recent
years that he has begun to do so liter
ally. The explanation is to be found
in the fact that while mans stature is
remaining about the same as it has al
ways been that of woman is steadily
increasing, so that the time may not
be SO far distant when the aVera &c
woman viii be taller than the average
man. The typical American girl as
she exists in the brain of Artist Gibson
is a six-footer and in a position. in
variably. to look down upon her dimin-
utiVe father and brothers. Ali artists

, impressed with this fact of WOman's
/ increasing height in selecting their fem
/ mime models for posing and comparing
them with pictures of fifty or a hun
bred years ago. This truth is brought

emphasis by the announcement of the

MONEY Is WANTED.
Great Britain and Russia Are to
Raise Loans.

hdloG AOd1lo.
Berlin. Jan. 2S.-An official of the
reichsbank, who was interviewed today
regarding the financial situation, said:
In deciding to reduce the rate only y
per cent the bank was influenced by
the large volume of discounts. which
are 100, O00, 600 marks above those Of
last year by the heavy money demands
of domestic business and by the unfav-
orable foreign exchange rates. More
over, Great Britain VIII raise big
war loan. and we understand that Rus
STA will make another effort 10 raise a
loan.
THE pres mt rate of private discount
is abnormal not representing the &C
tual condition of the money market
but caused by an artificial maneuver
made to prepare the market for munic-
ipaI loans. large volume of which has
been waiting for more favorable condi-
tions. Many cities wish money for
electric lighting and traction plants.
but the bank considers it advisable to
restrict this borrowing to the limits of
what is really necessary.
"A further rate reduction, however.
is probable about April Z The gold
movement this month has been very
slight, several millions having gone to
England upon Russian account. and
there has been an Insignificant export
to Holland"
The Specula ton last week was chiefly
in cOalers, which were very firm. owing
to the increasing coal famine. Iron
shares were also strong The govern
ment has ordered 1904 freight cars.
Owing 10 the rise Of foreign ores and
ocean freishts, German miners will
raise the price of ore or marks Der

against Is for the present. The Japa
Hese government has sent 200 tons of
coal to Germany TO experiment in cox
ing. An advance in paper, cotton and
yarns has just been made.
The DeUtsche Economist points out
to the agrdrians that Germany would
get the worst of a tariff war with the
United States. in view of the fact that
the United States is able to buy All
present German imports except Rhine
wine and German books in other coun
tries whereas Germany is dependent
