TRADE LEVEL CONTINUES HIGH
DESPITE CURRENCY SHORTAGE
CONSERVATISM SHOWN IN
FUTURE PURCHASES.

New York, Nov. s.-Retail trado
throughout the country is keeping up
to the recent high level In spite of the
currency shortage, which has forced
the banks to take unusual precaution-
cry measures and seriously hampered
the operations of stock market specu-
lators.
Reports were received today at the
office Of r. G. Dun & Co. from repre-
sentative cities in many sections Of the
country showing the check system
has proven as convenient as that of
cash payment, and that buyers are as
numerous as at any time In the re-
cent past. In fact trade has been
much better than 1t was last week
when there was a manifest disposition
on the part of the public to curtail ex-
ipenditures until financial conditions
hecame nearer normal. The fact that
I buying is again on the increase Is
taken as an indication that commence
his been fully restored.
Retail Trade is Active. Z.
Especially is this true of the retail
lines where the demand generally mas
been steady and of increasing volume
as the season advances. The tone Of
the incoming weekly reports is one OF
healthy Industrial and financial con-
ditions in every section heard from.
In some instances there Is a tenden-
CIV to act upon a conservative basis IN
placing heavy orders for future deliv-
cry. and this course is being counseled
by the jobbers themselves, who. al
ready having the situation we'll IN
hand, are anxious that business shall
move forward on the soundest possl-
Bile footing.

ception of $1,000 which the cashier Of
the bank had hidden the night before.

First. Any national bank may Is
sue an amount of credit currency
equal to 40 per cent of It's outstand-

that may be, but this amount Of credit
currency cannot exceed 25 per cent Of

Second. The bank may take out an
additional amount Of credit currency
equal to 1914 per cent Of its capital,
but must pay upon the amount Of this

a tax of 5 per cent
Third. The present capital Of our

Girl Will not
Be SPANKED
PUPIL IN DEs MONIES SCHOOL
PUTS UP A GOOD FIGHT WITH
PROFESSOR AXIS.

Des Moines, Nov, S.-Clyde 3. Ak
ers, principal of the Oak Park school,
tried to thrash a pretty black haired
miss of seventeen years yesterday and
wound UP by tearing a part OF her
clothes off, disarranging her hair and
only half spanking her, while the girl
claims she scratched his face, bit his
arm and punched ller fist in his nose,
squarely from the shoulder, in strict
accordance with Queensbury. rules.
The dimpled miss with the black
hair and dark blue eyes is the daugh.
ter of w C. Zikefoorse. Her name is
Trula. She weights 105 pounds, net.
Eye witnesses say she put up good
fight and won her point-for the prin-
cipal who started out to make her go
to his private office had to admit his
inability and send her home. After
getting on her jacket and hat she turn
ed back and slapped the principal in
the face.
The affair began by the absence
Wednesday of Miss zikefoose. Yester-
day she appeared as usual and her
teacher, woman, ordered her to go
to the principals room. Miss Trula
demanded a reason. The teacher re-
fused. Trula insisted. The principal
was sent for. He demanded obedience; /;
she demanded reason and when it
was not forthcoming she refused point
blank.
ltHe Tried to Spank Her."
The principal then, it is alleged,
took her by the arm and jerked her
roughly out of her seat. She resisted.
Trula is fine, athletic girl-almost a
woman grown-and it was with ex-
treme difficulty that Professor Akers
succeeded in taking her from the
room.

speaking of the affair, 'he struck me
with his hands and when scratched
mis- face and fought back he tried to
spank me. When there was no one to
see, he tried to turn me over his knee
but gave him as good as he sent. He

ADvICEs FROM ALL POINTS
INDICATE IMPROVEMENT

Washington, Nov. Sat the con
clusion of the cabinet meeting today
Secretary Cortelyou stated that dis
cussion Of the financial situation had
occupied an important place during
the session but he said that there was
nothing to be given out beyond the
fact that the treasury department was
doing everything in it's power to re-
lteve the situation and that conditions
seemed to be improving, particularly
in New York, which fact he Indicated
would result in the relief in every
section.
Treasury Department congested.
Washington, D. c.. Nov. 8. = There
was a noticeable congestion in the
treasury department in handling Sc
curities offered by banks in substitu-
tion Of government bonds, now beoing
deposited as security for additional
circulation. Correspondence on the
subject is almost unprecedented and
although the officials apply themselves
unremittingly to work until late at
night, the volume of work increases
rather than dininishes. The amount
| of additional national bank notes be-
ing shipped is daily increasing and
the treasury officials are greatly en-
couraged in the belief that the crisis
in the money stringency is passed
and that gradual relaxation in the
Itensio nthat has existed for three
weeks may confidently be expected.

England today received 100000 pounds
