An Injurious Effect on Banks.

Faraboo Democrat: A jar, such as
TIE depositors of the First National
bank at Mineral Point received, has an
injurious effect on banking institutions
which are conducted by honest men,
and it is such frequent occurrences
which cause folks to hoard money in
tin cans, stoves and other hiding places.
However, it is we'll to bear in mind that
the average person is safer in taking a
chance on bank than to place his say
ings where they can be destroyed by

The money market ruled easy until well
along in the summer when the competi-
tive demands from general mercantile
and business quarters made the financing
Of speculative campaigns in Wall street
more expensive. The west and south
made their annual calls on New York
and other eastern centers for crop moving
money but not to the extent observed in
former years.
Largely through a combination of i'm
portant banking interests money was kept
within the per cent limitation right up
to the end of the year. The bond mar
ket was active until midsummer. Since
that time the demand for bonds has les
sened somewhat. The investment require
ments were amply supplied by new issues
and from the undigested remnant of old
goods.
Since autumn bond prices have been
shaded somewhat. The year has been
marked by more or less speculative 40
tivty in the convertible and collateral
trust bonds of the Hartman Paci1cs. Wa

To Escape the Laugh.

From the New York Times.
Loie Fuller, the noted dancer. told at
a luncheon at the Plaza a story about
her class of dancing children.
1T gave the children Christmas party
last year." she said, land when the pud-
ding came on I said to them:
q I have put in this pudding coin, a
little china doll and button. Whoever
gets the coin will be rich, whoever gets
the doll will be married before the year
is out. But whoever gets the button will
be an old maid.
well, the pudding disappeared rapidly
and the little girls soon found the coin
and the china doll. But the button did
not turn up. No enc got the button. This
amazed me.
THAT night said to my favorite little
girl as we sat alone by the fire in my
room:
~ can't understand what became of
that button. / put 1t in the pudding my
SELF
I'll tell you, the little girl confessed
turning rosy with confusion, dot the
button But l didn't want everybody to
laugh at me, tho thwallowed it.'

PINE LUMBER TRADE.
Demand Causes Advance In Price of
Product.

From the Lumbermans Bureau.
The active buying of the car companies
is the feature of the present yellow pine
market. Standard car decking shows an
advance of 81 since the last report, and
car siding and lining advances of from
so cents to 81. The demand for timbers
is not quito so brisk as 30 days ago, but
prices show little change There is some
falling off In the demand for yard stock,
as is, of course, to be expected at this
season, and the general level of prices Is
slightly lower. Certain items, however,
continue In strong demand, with prices
firm; that is. heart and sap flooring and
"a and 21a fiat flooring.
During the last two months the mills
have added somewhat to the stocks on
hand, which is fortunate circumstance,
viewed from the standpoint of the trade
as a whole, for the demand for lumber
in the spring will unquestionably exceed
the production, and the only thing to pre-
vent something of lumber famine and
a radical price advance and the inevitable
reaction will be large surplus stocks from
which the mills may draw.
There is a general complaint in the
south of a lack of water SO that it is
hardly probable that the mills will be able
to lay up as large a stock as might be
desired before the buying movement sets
in for the feeling is universal, and 1t
seems to be based upon sound reasoning,
that after the inventory of January 1 a
heavy buying movement will set in, and
our advice to the buyer. If he would
avoid car shortage, mill delays, and
higher prices, is to anticipate his spring
wants and buy now
Industrial statistics continue to fndi-
cate an ever expanding prosperity. The
value of farm products for 1909 exceeded
all previous records, and are estimated by
the department of agriculture at the
enormous sum of $780, 600, 0oO-an increase
over the preceding year of 1865, 600. or
more than the total value of all the lum-
Der produced in the United States. The
iron and steel mills are running at ca
pacity and railroad business continues
to show an enormous increase in volume.
The stock market has regained the loss
occasioned by the recent Standard. Oil
company decision, which does not mean
that the decision has ceased to have
far-reaching evil influence, but merely
that the great wave of prosperity cannot
be halted The Presidents message to
Congress was conservative and reassur
ing, chiefly from the things it left unsaid,
and the business interests await with
much eagerness his promised message
proposing certain amendments to the
more drastic sections of the antitrust
law.

Went Too Far.


From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A much-bothered conductor on an east
bound car was asked by chilly lady pas
senger to close the ventilators. AS he had
already been importuned to open them
by half dozen other patrons he resorted
to diplomacy.
Madam" he said in confidential tone.
I'D gladly close the ventilators. but un-
fortunately health officer is aboard the
car and he insists that they must be left
open. I'd make myself liable to a lot OF
trouble II opposed him..
"A health officer?" said the lady.
'Yes'm," replied the conductor. And
then intoxicated by the success of his
scheme, he unhappily added, That's the
man three seats ahead OF you-the one
with the brown derby
The lady looked and change came
across her face.
1.-THE one with the brown derby?" she
repeated.
"Yes'm. They say he's quite an expert
on germs and things. believe he's a
German gentleman
The lady stared at tho conductor.
Hes nothing of the kind" she snap
ped "The man with tho brown derby
is my husband
Whereupon the conductor beat hasty
retreat.
