EYESTONES.

Most Genuine Specimens Found In the
 Province of Astrakhan.
 The collection of eyestones is a dyEog industry. In New York the prin- cipal sources of supply are sailors who touch the Baltic sea, and. as might be imagined, the supply is precarious.
 Eyestones are analogous in some re- spects to bezoars, as they are con credon found in the stomach of the European crawGsh. Most of the genu. inc eyestones, crabs eyes, crabstones or Lapllli cancrorum, are procured in the province of Asrakhan, in Euro pean Russia.
 There appears to be some confusion regarding the nature of the eyestone, for some authorities speak of 1t as q concretion in the stomach of Q certain crab and others as of q peculiar shell formation which Is separated from the crab at the time 1t sheds its shell.
 The so called crabs eyes are found fully developed at the end of summer as the crabs begin to shed their shells It is noted that these connections are absorbed into the stomach of the crab during the shedding season and there pulyerlzed and absorbed, the dissolved calcareous substance being used. it Is supposed, for the formation of a new shell. When these calcareous shells are not normally developed and ab- sorbed 1t is observed that the shedding process is interrupted, and the crab dies an early death.-American Drug. gist.

Saturdays Statement Slowed the
Large Surplus Of
S6,ooo,ooo.
ANXIETY is NOW AT AN END
Most Important Development I:
the Demand for Good Com
il1ereial Paper.

NEW YORK. January 1.-THE rapid
clearing up of the banking situation
and the release of large supplies Of
credits to the money markets were
the importan. features Of last weeks
events In the financial world.
The New York bank statement of the
previous week gave the first decisive
outline of the turn in the situation.
The statement on Saturday showing a
sJ.60o.o00 surplus, has brilliantly con-
hrmcd the weeks Impressions. The
effect has spread throughout the money
supplies back into the loan market
with something like rush. It was
obvious that funds which had been
Withheld through lingering spirit OF
distrust of the banks position or as
precautfon against possible extra de.
mands We're returning freely to central
reserve points.
Anxiety Dishipntcd.
The basis Of credits is greatly eN-
panded by this process. The surren-
der of the privilege OF deposit of part
.of their cash In the reserve and central
reserve cities and its recall home In
the panic was the central factor in
producing the banking crisis, and the
retention of this cash was the cause
of the prolongatlon of the crisis and
tho maintenance OF the premium on
currency
The anxiety caused by that pro-
longation up to the end of the year
may be said to be now completely dis
sipated, SO far as accommodation to
solvent business is concerned. New
York has ceased to draw gold from
London. and rapid Incorporation of the
Bank of England bullion holdings las
followed. The Bank of France marked
down It's official discount rate from 4
to L. per cent, and market rates of
discount receded in all the foreign
markets.
Demand for Notes.
In New York the most important eff
feet of the new developments was the
springlng up OF an active demand for
commercial papers. which effectively
relieved the deadlock in that depart
n'ent and qaietod the fears of wide
spread -embarrassments in the mercan-
tile world from inability to secure ex-
tension of large maturing obligations.
In the security market the effect
OF this increase of facilities for con-
Quoting speculative operations was
pronounced. The resulting outbreak of
speculation showed increasing anima-
ton. and was stimulated by various
professional devices and by the dis
scniination of runners of important de-
volopments. The need of large UNI
covered short interest was an impor-
tant contributing factor to the rapid
advance which developed. and FUR
nished the material for much of the
demand forced by the bidding up of
prices by the organized bull party in
thu market,

authorities since the panic.
Since these cuts We're first announced
there had heen a, rather forced re-
vision in prices by other agents Of
mills and wholesale dealers, and 1T Is
expected the decline in this class Of
goods Will extend TO other makes.
When print cloths We're forced UP to

tober. that marked quotation which
was practically one cent yard higher
than had been previously reached in
