New York, Jan. S.-The quiet stock
market today reflected waiting at.

The money outlook is the subject of
some conflict of opinion, despite the
relaxation of call loans. Bankers are
disinclned to expect time money
rates to decline for some time
The Financial Chronicle says:
Money is needed for various en-
terprises contemplated by leading
financiers, who, it is believed would
like to turn their stock holdings into
dollars if this could be done without
iniuring market values

The RESPONSE Mechanical.

1t is the custom in converts for the
nuns to respond to knock at the door
with the words: I'm the name of God,
the phrase being equivalent in con-
ventional parlance to our worldly
"enter" or come in"
In a convent In one Of the western
cities not long since the mother supe-
rior had a ver-to-be-forgotten expe.
rience as result of this custom. Some
one in the outer world called the con-
vent telephone number by mistake
The mother superior, reused from her
meditations, picked up the receiver
and responded, mechanically: In the
name of God"
"Madam!" called an irate masculine
voice at the other end of the wire,
there is no occasion for you to swear
at me, even if have made mistake
in the number. Profane language is
prohibited over the telephone!"
