NO Encouraging Features.

A careful search Of the business sit
uhtion fails to find any very encourag.
ing features December is always a
month Of slowing down, but this year
tho tendency is more marked than
usual. The causes are both economic
and political. The most fundamental
reason is the worldwide high cost Of
capital. The signs Of recession on this
account are uite as pronounced abroad
as in tho United States. In Europe the
situation is aggravated by militarism,
and in Canada by too rapid expan.
sion. Neither of these conditions exist
in the United States. There has been
NO serious overstrain Of credit in this
conntry; nor any overexpansion in
general business. On the contrary, the
banking situation is pretty well in
hand, and our various merchandise
markets are more likely TO suffer from
scarcity than from overproduction. AS
a matter Of fact economic conditions
in the United States are sounder and
moro encouraging than those prevail.

.CLEWS SAYS MEXICO
NOT DISTURBING FACTOR
Unqualified Opposition Of Administra-
tion to Intervention Has Had Good
Effect on Securities.
RESISTING QUALITIES OF
STOCK SURPRISING FEATURE
Less Apprehension in Wall Street Re-
garding ANY Drastic Antitrust
Legislation Next Year

New York Dec. 19.-Securities con-
tinued to exhibit surprising resisting
qualities. Discouraging influences are
numerous and active, and yet val
ues, except in special instances, are
we'll maintained and show a disposi-
tion to rally upon the slightest en-
couragement. OF course this is attrib-
utable to the sold out condition of the
market; also to the fact that the fl
nancial district has largely discounted
any possible business reaction.
Mexico has somewhat disappeared as
a disturbing factor, chiefly because Of
the unqualified opposition of the Ad-
ministration TO intervention; the pres
ent policy apparently being to allow
Mexico to work out its own salvation
as other nations are obliged to do.
Tho currency bill has now passed
beyond the apprehensive stage. Its
provisions are being gradually but
surely brought more into line with
sound banking opinion, and it is now
accepted as certain that the bill will
be passed in reasonably satisfactory
form within a very short period, and
possibly before adjournment for the
Christmas holidays
There is also less apprehension re-
garding any drastic antitrust leglsla-
tion. Mr.. Wilson 5 remarks upon tho
Sherman law were eminently sound
and prudent, The law as at present
drawn and as interpreted by the Su-
pheme Court of the United States is
quite mfficien to restrain monopoly.
To wipe it off the statute books, or to
amend il would simply be throwing
away all the past labors Of the Su-
preme Court to make it reasonable and
equitable; and a new law would simply
precipitate fresh agitation then litiga-
tion and prolonged unsettlement Of
matters already satisfactorily adjusted
Mr.. Wilson suggestion Of supple
mentary legislation clearing up ambig-
nous points, especially as to defini-
tions, appears to be the best solution
of the difficulty.

cupants of rooms in st. James Palace
have consented to pay rent. but the
Countess Gleichea and another lady,
Mrs. Whitaker Laking. have so far re-
fused to do so. The latter only occupied
three rooms and since receiving notice
that she would be required to pay rent

to the king and queen to decide whether

But in regard to the gift residences
about Windsor their majesties have been
confronted with a much more difficult
and quite unexpected problem. One of
the largest and handsomest of these resi-

king gave as a free residence to his old
friend and equerry, Sir Arthur Ellis. and

tiles"
Secretary Brahaney's statement is
agreed to by all of the other officials of
the office, who declare that the President
seen, especially in those formal docu
ments which require a quantity OF poetic
expression well-rounded sentences and
symmetry throughout.
The change in the preparation Of the
Thanksgiving proclamation came after
the origin of the institution in this coun-
try. Washington Jefferson, Jackson and
all of the earlier presidents used to pre-
pare their own proclamations, usually
writing rough draft with one of the old
goose-quill pens which are now curios
in the museums. AS time went on and
the duties of the President expanded with
the growth of the nation, the prerogattve
was given the Secretary of State to pre-
pare the document Thus it was only
necessary for the President to indicate
his desire that the State Department pre-
pare the document and it done.
When the State Department was re-
quired to prepare the document the duty
fell upon Assistant Secretary Alvey
Adee, the nestor of the department. and
probably the best informed man in the
country today on polite usages, prece-
dents and diplomatic expressions. Sew
enty years old and regarded as a man
who is invaluable in the study of diplo-
matte phrases, as well as precedents. the
assistant secretary always followed
careful form when he wrote the docu-
ment. Roughly it might be classified as
follows:

cases at the present moment by people
of considerable means, and who could
well afford to pay rent. 1t is partly on
account OF Queen Mary's endearors to

We're given notice that from September

The first and only reply to this notice
was from Countess Fedora Gleichen,
who occupies one of the best sets of
rooms in St James Palace, and she
pleaded her inability to comply with the
request on the score of poverty. The
apartments at St. James Palace are
mainly occupied by the officials in the
royal household. but there are some half
dozen. sets of apartments occupied BY
private persons who are i'll no way con-

But even his friends admitted that in his
speeches and public utterances he was
unable to bring to bear the same CON
ciseness. Some of his sentences Were

Again, the President was a man who
liked to take up generalities and leave
the details for others. He considered
that as President he was not supposed
to study the routine of office as much as
the great national problems which con-
fronted the nation.
President Taft certainly had an aver
sion to writing his Thanksgiving proc'a-
nation. They tell story in Washington
OF President Taft'S first proclamation. Ac-
cording to the tale, he put off the writ
