NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE abstract
of the statement of averages made by
the banks TO the Clearing House was
recorded on the tape today after al!
transactions ut the Stock Exchange
had been completed. Prices had been
depressed early In the day to slight
extent, Int had rallied with show
of considerable strength In tho latter
part of the session. 1t is not unusual
for estimates on Saturday regarding
the character of the bank statement to
prove strlkingly accurate. but no such
estimates were circulated In the usual
channels today. Operations ut the
Stock Exchange were concluded in lg-
norance of the condition disclosed by
the bank statement. Tho most vital
fact regarding the bank statement Is
that tho reserve item is not made to

How We Buy Gold.


The monetary situation shows
some improvement, although time
and call rates are abnormany high.
! The advance in the Bank of England
rate of l per cent to D u per cent
was not entirely unexpected, in view
+ OF our large gold imports from that
quarter. There is more or less finan-
clal strain in both London and Ber-
lin, consequently the gold movement
meets with resistance. In case OF
necessity, however, our demands are
likely to be satisfied. Our borrow
ings in Europe this fail are much
lower than for several years, and
London would prefer giving us the
gold in order to stop distrust here,
which might injure the situation
over there. Paris would quickly help
London to finance American require
ments. Fortunately, we are in a po-
sition to command more or less of the
precious metal. Europe must have
our wheat, our cotton and our cop
per. From these three articles alone
we have been able to materially in
crease our imports of goa. Another
important source of relief has been
the freer buying by London of Am
erican securities. which are now at
exceedingly attractive prices to Eu-
ropean investors.
Do Not Hoard Money.
The stock market certainly offers
many very unusual bargains to the
outright buyer of securities. Mar
ginal transactions still involve I'M
usual risk on every side of the ac-
count, but to the cash purchaser the
present opportunity il an unusual
one. People who have taken their
FUNDS out of the banks during the
recent scare should reinvest them in
sound fnterest-paying securities. BY
this means they will be performing a
service to themselves in securing
profitable investments and a service
to the public by returning money to
the channels of circulation. The re-
cent disposition to hoard money was
one of the most dangerous elements
in the panic. Money was withdrawn
from use at the very time when it
was most needed more frequently
from senseless fear than for good
reasons.
Caution and Economy.
From now on conditions in the
money market viii gradually inn
prove, and borrowers with good col
lateral win find little or no dificulty
In securing accommodations. There
may be some trouble in renewing

Resume of Wall Street
By Henry Clews

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The acute
stage of the financial crisis has pass
ed; hysteria has subsidized and the
situation no wappears well under
control This does not mean that an
immediate recovery is to be expected.
Recuperation will be slow and ire
gular; the causes for the recent col
lapse being too deep seated and COM
pick TO indulge in any false hopes
IN that respect. 1t is now fully rec
ognized that the crisis was chiefly
due to the exhaustion of floating
capital. Additional sources of weak
ness were the overextension of cred
1T, the overproduction of securities,
the impairment of confidence by cor
porate mismanagement, and the oc-
casional interference of national and
state government in corporation af-
fairs. Wall street has now amply
discounted all of these drawbacks
having done SO in three successive
stages by means of the breaks in
March, August and October.
Proper Measures of Relief.
In the financial district the situa-
ton is gradually rfghting itself. Aft
er liquidation on a tremendous scale
the surest and most natural relief
came through gold imports, over
$25,OOO,O00 having thus far been en-
gagged. The other form of relief
that of clearing house certificates
though artificial, was equally eff
cient. The latter expedient has been
resorted to in many O. the leading
houses in different parts of

AMERICAN HOMES
ARE IDEAL
GERMAN PROFESSOR MAKES
HAPPY OBSERVATIONS ABOUT
COLLEGE AND HOME LIFE HE
HAS OBSERVED IN AMERICA.

BERLIN, Nov S.-A most appre-
clative description of American uni
Versity and home life is given in
Wessermann' Monatsheften by Pro-
lessor Eugene Kuebnemann, who
passed two years in Harvard as ex-
change professor.
The arrangements for study. the
close comradeship of the students
the beautiful surroundings and the
general tone of culture are subjects
Tor the professors warmest praise.
The lecture halls, the Students
dormitories, the collections and the
Libraries and the experimental labor
atories, he holds up as patterns to
the world, while the prevailing calm
and quiet he considers as eminently
conducivse to study.
A large share of his admiration is
reserved for the home life of the
American city. The comfort and
beauty of the house interiors made a
deep impression on him, and he tells
MS readers that they have much to
learn in that respect. He was struck
by the roominess and capital ar
rangement of the various anart-
ments
Until he visited America it had
never occurred to him how far Ger
many Jagged behind in regard tn
culture. In America, as in England
and to a great extent in France. cul-
ture held first place and then came
learning.
In Germany, owing to the long
period of poverty she had passed
through, compelling each to strue-
gle only for himself, no upper stra-
tum of society such as is generally
recognized as forming the foundation
OF exterior and interior culture had
developed itself.
The only way a person was mark
ed out from his neighbors was nv his
learning, which brought him into
touch with the ruling class. Conse-
quently, education was unhealthiIv
oVerrated at the expense of ideal and
ethical good breeding.
The epoch of prosperity now being
by Germany is, however, the
professor concludes. creating a new
order of things, and with it's recog-
nized leadership in the sciences, the
empire is striding steadily toward
the goal which will enable it also to
take its proper place in the forefront
of culture.

Commodities Must Drop,

This turn in the tide comes in
many respects at p opportune time
since there are few markets which
are burdened with an oversupply OF
merchandise. Nevertheless, any ma
terial decrease in consumption would
soon lead us into a period of over
production with it's unpleasant con-
sequences, and it is here where lies
the point of weakness in the mer-
chandise markets. Lower prices for
commodities, however, will bring us
TO more normal and healthy situa-
tion, stimulate consumption and en-
courage a fresh forward movement.
Lower prices for wheat and copper
have already greatly stimulated the
export of these articles. Cotton has
been held back by high prices; but
monetary pressure is likely to have
the same effect in this as in other
markets.

A Very Pretty Porch
Work Bag

TT is often convenient in summer.
especially in the country, to own
a workbox or bag for standing on
the porch, where so much Of the fam
lily life is now passed. Naturally for
such use one wishes a box that is not
SO handsome that it will be stolen;
yet it should be sufficiently decora-
tive to be presentable.
Any woman can easily make herself
such a box by cutting a bottom nine
or ten inches square from heavy card
board, and four side pieces to fit,
each about six inches high. These
should be covered on the outside with
a cheap Powered chintz or cretonne.
which should be pasted smoothly. Line
with a plain co.orei Saline, match
the flowers. and bind with the Saline
or with wash linen tape the same
shade. This covering and lining may
be managed entirely ty FASTING, or
the front an1 back covering can be
first pasted smoothly and the edges
overcast together. This latter can
also be briacstitched on by using
fine enough needle not to pull away
the material from the cardboard.
Overcast the sides to the bottom and
at the four corners. Then on the in
terror of the box attach two pockets
of cretonne to opposite sides, and on
the others put square pin cushion
and a needle book of the same ma
terial.
Such a box need cost but few
cents, or nothing at all if one hap
pens to own a patch bag, but will
prove it's usefulness many times over.
Stocking bags for busy mothers, who
utilize spare moments by darning on
the porch, may be made of the same
Powered cretonne as the workbox,
bound and faced with plain Saline
and drawn by thick white cotton
cord. Such bag, if hung on porch
chair or on some out-of -the-way nail,
is far from unsightly, yet is always
in readiness when wanted.

is, perhaps, better for a
belt to first run the seal

This will give better re-
suits in laundering. Use

chan belt will probably
be most useful, 1t Is
