a Fair EXCHANGE,

Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt, NewpOrt's
most beautiful dancer, enlivened many
luncheon and dinner parties there this
summer with her delightful wit.
At Japanese dinner given near the
close of the season in honor of very
independent and dashing heiress, the
your lady's engagement to poor for
eign nobleman was announced.
An elderly matron seated at Mrs
vanderbilt's table said. apropos OF the
engagement:
\ "Tre count is lucky. But in this
case the word obey might just as well
be omitted from the brides responses"
81 think so, too," Mrs. Vanderbilt
agreed. "And I am sure" she added
gayly. "the count wouldn't mind bit
if the promise to love, honor and obey
could only be changed to love, honor
and supply"

GERMAN HOLDERS
SELL BONDS HERE
Bankers SO Interpret Rise of
Mark Exchange-Austrian
KrOnen Also Higher.

In the foreign exchange market yes
terday there was what bankers said
was further evidence that Europe-par-
ticularly Germany and Austria-had
been selling some securities here.
Mark cables and checks were strong,
in great contrast to their recent be-
havior, the former closing at Sc IA
and the latter at Sc 1-8. Until very
lately they had been going begging
below SO. An international banking
house. which in September and Octo-
Der was said to have sold about
25,000,000 marks was yesterday said
to have been the heaviest buyers Of
this kind of exchange. The house was
understood to hold considerable guam
titles of securities in trust for Ger
man investors.
Austrian kronen were likewise
strong in yesterdays market, closing
at 1870. In normal times they range
much higher, the par of exchange be-
ing just under 20.3 cents, but lately
they have sold as low as 17.15, and any
rally in their market, as in that for
marks, is looked upon as remarkable,
because Austria is in the same plight
as Germany and can export but few
goods wherewith to brace up her ex-
change.
The restrictions placed upon bond
trading in the Stock Exchange cannot
altogether prevent selling for foreign
account, though they can reduce il to
a manageable volume. Such sales as
occur here Of foreign-owned securities
must almost necessarily be out of the
stores of bonds and stocks that have
been carried with the local branches
of international banking houses.
The sterling exchange market was
extremely dull, with practically no
change in prices. Demand. at 4.S9 Is,
stayed sufficiently near the gold ex-
port point TO convince dealers that
no great relaxation need be expected
until the effect of freer trading in
securities was evident. Cables closed
ga of a cent higher. There is no
steamer before Saturday, but there
was not much evidence of demand for
cable transfers, nevertheless.
The market for francs showed
France still in the position Of having
the strongest foreign exchange in the
world, cables being quoted at 5.l0A
for dollar and demand checks at
5.f1h.
Dealers said yesterday that ex-
change was not making in volume
compared with the way it did in other
years. Cotton bills, for Instance,
we're coming into the market at the
rate Of only one-fifth to one-third of
the last years number, because very
little cotton is getting to Germany,
which usually takes about one-third Of
the crop. Germany got some cotton
through Italy, but when the English
banks learned of it they refused to dis
count bills for the London branches of
Italian banks and so brought the move
ment to a halt.

BANKERS WITHIN THE LAW
Acceptances Based on Securi-
ty Transactions Legal.

George c. Van Tuyl, jr, president
of the Metropolitan Trust Company
and former State Superintendent of
Banks and member of the commission
which revised the state banking law,
said yesterday there were no legal
steps that could be taken to prevent
the new practice of some of the state
banks and trust companies Of making
acceptances for brokers with security
transactions as basis.
Mr.. Van Tuyl's opinion was sought
on the matter in view of his familiarity
with the New York banking laws and
as there has been some talk among
bankers of finding some way to dis
courage, if not prohibit, the practice
of making acceptances in the manner
defined. What the complaining banks
principally object to is the tendency
acceptances based on security transac-
tons have TO depress rates for mer-
camille loans

PHILADELPHIA IS FIRM
Business in Stocks Larger
Than on Opening Day.
Try telegraph TO The Tribunal

by Telegraph " Law
Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-Business on the
Stock Exchange here to-day was on a
larger scale, more issues being dealt IN
than yesterday, and sales for the most
part were at the same prices as the
closing yesterday. ,
The feeling throughout the financial
district generally was optimistic. The
action of the special committee OF hve
in deciding to issue prices over the
ticker in the usual way met with gen
erai APPROVAL and did much to strength
en- confidence.
AS was the case in the trading yes
terdav. there was again to-day ccm-
plete absence of liquidation. The first
effect OF the resumption of operations IN
the security markets was seen IN an IN
mistakable relaxation in money supply.
Banks resumed lending on call for the
first time and rates eased In conse-
uence of accumulation of idle funds.

NOTES OF THE TRADE.

A well known manufacturer OF ladies'
outer apparel returned from South
America, where he has been for the
last three months investigating condi-
tons in ready-to-vear lines He is go
ing to send a salesman there just ss
soon as he can get his line ready, ana
is under the impression that many
orders can be obtained on cheap lines
| Cotton fabrics will be used in the max
ing Of most of his samples.
Blate, Barker e. Love, prominent
dress manufacturing concern, report
that Samuel Blate, who is now In the
Middle West, has sent in many orders
for Immediately delivery. 1t seems
that many merchants who were In town
few months ago did not buy very
heavily, owing to the war scare, with
the result that their stocks at present
are not complete, and they are com
nelled TO buy for immediate delivery.
Most iobbers who look at spring dresses
about this time are a little skeptlcaI
about placing orders owing to weather
conditions.
II has been a great surprise to many
clothing manufacturers that statesmen
have not come back from the road. The
fact is that the men are anxlously
waiting for the weather to turn cold.
Many optimistic concerns think as soon
"a il gets colder orders will pour IN.
That is not the case with others, who
say that regardless of the weather 1t
is too late to help business. Many
merchant have held sales to dispose OF
their stocks, and in many instances
suits were sold at cost prices. The sale
of overcoats has been slow, but there
"a hone that the cold weather now due
will help bring conditions back to nor
nal in that line.
A big Southern department store held
a sale called cotton day" furchases
made that day of anything in cotton
were sold less % per cent. me sale
met with success, and 1t is the lnten-
+ion TO hold a sale of this kind weekly.
A buyer from the West states that
he has been in the market only few
DAVIS. and is surprised to learn that
spring coats, suits and dresses are be-
ing shown so early. 1t was his inten-
ton to buy several jobs of fall ready
to-wear. but since the manufacturers
are practically cleaned out he is com
PEELED to make his spring purchases
He adds that he could do at least 3d.
600 more business if he could buy mer-
chandise now as cheaply as he bought
a few weeks ago This is another case
of the buyer afraid to take a chance
and get quantities when merchandise
can be bought cheaply.
