tended its business into several foreign
countries. The banking enterprises OF
the Dresdner in the Orient. in South
America. and in Canada are stated in
the report not to have been altogether sue
cessful during the past year. This was
especially true OF the banks interest In
a Canadian bank. in which Il was asso-
ciated with other banking concerns, while
a branch in Mexico is stated TO have
been successful The establishment OF
this latter branch is said to have been
in accord with a long-existing desire TO
get a footing in Mexico. as a country
having a promising future.
German imports in 1907 estimated on
the basis of prices for 1906. exceeded ex-
ports by l,72S,0O000O marks (sill, "a, 000),

NEW SHOES MODELLED ON OLD.
Frenchman Devises a Way to Re-
Iieye Prize COrns and Bunions.

kISSS 1-rIAe OOEne anu nuAtOnSs
A scheme by which a person with ten
der feet can obtain shoes conforming
exactly to the lines OF his old ones has
just been devised by a Frenchman.
The prospective purchaser produces a
pair OF his old shoes and in a little while
the exact duplicates Of them in nevr
leather are sent to him.
At the factory plaster is poured into
the old shoes and casts are made of
them. From these casts wooden forms or
lasts are made in a copying lathe On
these lasts the new pair is made
When the shoes go 10 the owner, of
course, he can put tnem on and use
them Just as freely as he did the old
ones-no "breaking-in' being necessary.
Furthermore, as the shoe conforms ex-
actly 20 the foot the leather does not
crease or crack
While the idea is quite simple, # is
made possible OF application to general
business by the fact that the copying
lathe which makes the lasts is so ar
ranged that It will turn these out very
swiftly and inexpensively.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
3 points on December, but generally
unchanged, and during the early ses-
sion ruled weak and unsettled under To-
cal pear pressure and liquidation. The
decline caught some stop-loss orders in
the hands of commission houses, and
during the middle of the morning the
active months were about IL to IA
points net lower. December was rela-
lively firm, but inactive. There seemed
to be nothing special in the news to
explain the decline.
The market wal steadier late in the
forenoon as earlier offerings had beer
pretty well absorbed by shorts and
fresh buyers for long account, but
prices showed comparatively little raj
lying power and the market at midday
was Q to IL points net lower.
