Liquidation of long cotton and fresh
short selling both increased after the or
ders that had accumulated over Sunday

was that notices for practically the en-
tire stock of tenderable grades would be
issued.

January Disbursements Will

CLEARINGS FOR 1912
SHOW HANDSOME GAIN
Committee Working Earnestly to
Induce Choice of Washington as
Location for Regional Bank.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Naturally, as the year draws to close
business on the Washington Stock Elk
change is restricted to the execution of
odd lot investment orders. There is no
speculative interest in the market at this
time. The investment business itself
waits on the settlement of yearly rec
ords and the January disbursements,
checks for which will be in the mails to-
morrow, after the close of business.
The largest distribution will be made by
the Capital Traction Company, which will
send out checks calling for S1S0.OG0.
Probably 100000 will be distributed in
Washington by the Mergenthaler Limo
type Company, this being an estimate.
and the same is true of the amount the
Lanston Monotype Company will dis
tribute in the District. probably 100000.
The largest bond interest payment will
be made by the Potomac Electric Com
pany, S125, 725 Semi-annual interest on its
outstanding consolidated . per cent bond
issue.
The American Security and Trust Com
pany will send out dividend checks for
10000: Union Trust, $4,000: national
banks in the District will distribute more
than $4,000, and about $4,000 will be
paid out TO Washington bondholders on
government bond interest. In addition,
about s15O.OOO more will be distributed by
various institutions.
the money market after the advent of the
New Year Corporations and the banks
have been preparing for the January
payments. Once this large amount is
distributed and is again redeposited or
reinyested, money should be more plenti-
full, but not at much easier rates. Banks
find abundant legitimate demand for all
available funds
The January disbursements should be
largely reinvested in the local security
market, the more so as prices during the
last sixty days have reached a basis
much more pleasing to investors.
Prices on the local exchange showed
no particular change one way or the

TO MOVE RAMESES STATUES.
Will Be Taken to Cairo and Erected
in Station Square.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
CAIRO. December 5, 1913.
It has been decided to transport the
two giant statues of Rameses II from
ancient Memphis to Cairo, where they
will be erected in the new station square
that has recently been made.
Considerable repairs will have to be
done to one. if not both, of the statues.
as it is feared that the legs will not be
strong enough to support the bodies.
Special arrangements are being made fol
the transport to Cairo, and the state
railways are constructing special trucks
and adjusting the line at various points
such as the stations, where it is not wide
enough.
The total cost of erection and transport
is at present estimated at $4,000 There
is no doubt that Lord kitchener's idea
will greatly improve the station square
and that it is far better to erect these
statues on site where they can be APP
preciated than to leave them lying at
Memphis, which is not the original site.
and where one of them, at any rate, is al
present on its back.
