Bank Statement

The Financier will say:
 The clearing house banks of New York, according to the statement of actual condition issued Saturday, did not gain as heavily in cash as preliminary esti- mates indicated, the expansion in specie and legal tenders having been only $1, ,152 900. It Is probable, however, that next weeks statement, showing the trend of money in this direction, both by reason of the natural after-harvest drift and because of preparations for the January dividend and interest period will reveal q decided increase in surplus reserve. So far as loans are concerned the total remained almost stationary, the only change having been a decrease of a llt- tie more than half a million in this item Net deposits rose $1,S49.000 which almost counteracted the gain in cash, the actual increase in reserve above the 25 per cent minimum having been only $66,4J0. making the present excess re serve ss,lI,10o. The statement figured on the daily average system showed an ex- pansion of Ss,93o,000 in loans. gain of about s2,5o0,00o in cash and of s1,eS2,ooo in deposits. The excess reserve, figured on the average basis, now stands at T.549.60. The statement of the trust com panies, made independently of the clear ing house exhibit. revealed a decrease of Sa,5o0000 in deposits. The dividend and interest disbursements at the end of tho current year, amounting to s2O0, ,000 600, will probably account for some decided changes in the bank statement over the next fortnight"

Mrs. C. R. Miller in Leslie s Weekly.
 The making of the composition dolls as seen in the German factories is an interesting process. even though some of the rooms are hot. steamy places where one does not care to stay long at a tino First, there is the kneading room, where a blk mixing trough Is set up. and in this all sorts of rag-bag ma terial are to be found--oid gloves rags, bits of cardboard, etc. and gum traga- caEth. The mixture is kneaded by hand to tie consistency of paste. heated and carried into the moldroom. There it is dipped up by women and poured Into the patterns, which are set Up in rows. The nlods are put away until they are cold enough to handle, when q workman, by a dexterous movement of his hands, sepa- rates the leaden sides. and the dolls head is revealed The pollsher then trims off the ragged seams and sends the heads 10 another room, where the holes for the eyes are cut out This Is an extremely delicate task. as all the sockets must be of uniform size.

London Stock Market

london, December U.-Ihe stock mar ket after a quiet week. with trading of holiday character, closed confident and firm and net gains. Dear monsy and the uncertainties of. the continental polit- ical situation caused a good deal of hes- tancy early, together with fears of ean advance in the bank rate, but the an- nouncement of the retention of the per cent rate brought a more confident tone to the dealings and generally advanced quotations. A better feeling regarding the EuI opean situation, which was confirmed later by official announcement of the end ing of the Austro-Servian dispute, put the market in cheerful mood and although business was small. prices closed strong with hardening tendency. Consols led British securities with net rise of seven sixteenths. home rails moved upward under the lead of underground shares, while Peruvian bonds. Rio tindes and De- beers were prominent in the improvement in continental favorites.
 Tho return of confidence in Wall street was reflected in a smart rise in American rails, which was largely assisted by tine better tone in other markets. The Har- 1man issues and Canadian Pacific led in a recovery which converted a 1 point decline into net gain of from 1 to 3 points.

Whence the Dollar Sign

From the New 1Ork Times.
 Where did the dollar mark come from ? The most popular theory. and tho gem orally accepted one. is that the sign came from making a monogram of the letters ''U." and "S' By eliminating the bottom of the letter "U'' the dollar mark, in it's present form. resulted. This Is called the |. S. theory. It seems to fit the case. and people interested more in the chase for dollars than in making the dollar sign fin front of some figures have been will ing to let 1t go at that.
 But Prof. Florian Cajori of Colorado college comes along and in an article in the current number of the Popular Sci ence Monthly dernolishes that theory and gives data to show the irresistible con clnsion" that the dollar mark came down to us from the peso abbreviation, "Ps,' and also that it is of Latin-American origin.
 There is no historical data to support the ~. s. theory" no evidence of use In old manuscripts. Professor cajcri says Robert Morris was the earliest gov ernment official to use the dollar mark. but he used an IS" with only one down. ward stroke across it. There have been theories that the mark came from rnc Pillar of Hercules coins. No manuscripts show such an adaptation. Then there is the pieces of g. theory. derived from the old Spanish dollars. but there is no manuscript evidence of that. either.

SHARP BREAK IN
 EARLY TRADING
Part of Loss Recovered With Market Closing
 Very Steady

New York December 21.-A renewal of pre-holiday liquidation or other pressure caused a sharp break during today's early trading in the cotton market. but a considerable demand was encountered at decline of practically half cent from the recent high records, and part of the loss was recovered with the mar ket closing very steady, although last prices were from l to 6 points net iower
 The market opened unchanged to s points higher in sympathy with better ened overnight selling orders with prices selling off net loss of from : to IA points during the first half hour. A few stop orders were uncovered on the way down, but the offerings were pretty well absorbed around 12.51 for May by covering or trade buying and as soon as the more urgent selling orders had been executed the tone became steadier
 Reports that Manchester and the conti-
 nent had taken everything offered il
 Liverpool today and latest estimates of the Indian crop indicating that the excess production over last year would
 be only 252,oOO bales, probably helped the rally, which carried prices some 10 or 12 points from the lowest. Ad vices from the dry goods trade reflected
 continued slack business in the pri mary markets, but an active retai trade was reported. Local traders, con sequently found little incentive for fresl operations in the news from this sourc' while there was little or no change il the general character of spot and ginning
 reports from the south, and the opinior was expressed that the days develop
 ments were chiefly in the further even Ing up for over the holidays, combined with some bear pressure from Wal street sources and moderate demand from spot houses.

 of July intoxication of lumber jacks and the forest fro loss is question to bs seriously investigated by the state forest fire sirVice the coming year.
 A direct assertion of a fire being caused 1 by beer bottle discarded beside tho trees by some holiday reveler has reached the commission and has determined the service to cause an investigation because
 q large proportion of forest fires have heretofore been of most mysterious ori- gin In an official statement just made public the state forester says.
 Many fires are reported each season by fire wardens, originating along tray eled roads and trails from causes iln- known. No doubt many of these fires can be attributed to the carelessness of travellers along tho highways. A cigar stub, cigarette cr match carelessly thrown away and left to smolder Is the cause of many fires.
 Some of these may have been caused by the suns action-rays focused through
 gless bottles discarded by travellers. Those who are familiar with the ways
 of some woodsmen--be he the shanty boy OF earlier days in the eastern states or the lumberjack of the western states know that many an empty bottle has

WHEAT SHORTAGE RUM0R GROUNDLESS
Fridays Bulge Based on Private Shortage Report.
 Corn Unchanged

Chicago, December 2l.-Yesterday' ru- nor of Canadian wheat shortage prev ing groundless. the commodity led other cereals downward today, closing 9sarssc lower. while corn and oats reeeded asqisc 10 ssc and unchanged to ts@hc respectively. Provisions declined 7isc to 15e.
 Fridays sharp bulge in wheat was based largely on a report that private authority had estimated the Canadian crop at 50,00o.0oo bushels less than the government figures. Today's dealings de- veloped responsible officials of the farm implement companies. to whom rurnor had credited the private report. declaring there was ground for fear, re-entered the trade and denied the rumors in eireula- tion, The spot market was dull and ex- cellent harvesting weather reported from Argentine.
 Near 9ie for May the market developed resting orders, and the close was heavy at shade over that price. May ranged
 between a1%q911.c and Bic, closing at 9l 49l1sc.
