Another log cabin has been erect
ed on the estate of w. H. Newbold in
one of the suburbs of Philadelphia.
This is more pretentious structure
than that of Mr.. Morris. It is model
ed after the log cabins that sheltered
the patriots at Valley Forge, and is
big enough for a small dance.
The floor is well Waxed for dancing
and there is little furniture except the
setees around the wall. A feature
is an immense fireplace for the burn.

for country house jollifcation can

LONDON FEARS PANIC
ON DAY OF SETTLEMENT
Growing Fear That Contracts Exceed
Expectation-Eme Rules
to Save Situation.

LONDON, November 21.-Transac-
tions in stocks have been almost sus-
pended. Dealers are occupied princi-
pally with discussion of the emergency
rules for the forthcoming settlement.
These rules apply to contracts made
since the close of the exchange July 80.
There is growing feeling that con-
tracts entered into between the date of
the last settlement, July 81, and the
time of suspension of trading are
much larger than had been believed,
and that unless these contracts are
brought within the scope of the emsr-
gency rules, many failures may re-
suit.
A deputation from the American sec
tion of the markets has appealed to the
authorities that such change be
made. saying that the contracts In
American railroad stocks entered into
during the unprotected period amount
ed to large total and that under pres
ent conditions they could not be set
tied. No decision has been reached on
this point.
owing to the outbreak of war be-
tween England and Turkey. the Turkish
banks in London have come under gov
ernment supervision. They have been
licensed to carry on business under
conditions somewhat more liberal than
those imposed upon the Austrian and
German banks.
The reason for this leniency is that
these banks are largely controlled out
side of Germany. The Imperial Otto
man Bank is directed from Paris ana
London, having few if any Turkish
stockholders, while the National Bank
of Turkey is believed to be owned en-
tirely by residents of this country.

Will Europe have many securities to
sell should the stock exchange re-
open?
This is the all-important question OF
the day. one of the chiefest reasons
for keeping the doors of the exchange
closed, the other being an indisposi-
tion on the part of banks and great IN
yestment corporations like the insur-
ance companies to take the losses tha'
would necessarily follow IN the event
of serious price declines

the use of the credit of the United
States government.
Redundancy of money is practically
Impossible under the new law In the
hrst place, after two years national
banks may retire their circulation and
sell their United States bonds to the
reserve banks. Reserve banks may
issue notes on such bonds then, but
that money can get in circulation only
when turned over to member banks for
commercial paper offered for redls-
count. At the same time the national
bank circulation has been retired. Also,
hereafter new national banks will not
be required to purchase government
bonds and take out circulation. This
Will halt the constant increase in the
national bank circulation.
II may therefore be deduced that
speculation will be more restricted un-
der the new system, and that legiti-
mate investing and general commerce
Will commenSurately expand.
one other feature Of the new law
which Will doubtless result in great
benefit to our foreign trade is the per,
mission given to the larger national
banks to establish branches in foreign
countries. Already one large institu-
tion has announced the opening of a
branch in South America, and doubt
less others will follow it's example.
Also. by being permitted to loan on real
estate. the national banks in the coun-
try districts will be enabled to render
great deal of assistance to the farm
er. in a way prohibited by the old ma
tional bank act.
Effect on Money Market.
simultaneously with the opening of
the reserve bank in New York, the
local money market exhibited an cas-
ing tendency. This is especially noted
in the case of call loans, rates for
which have declined about l per cent
In less than a week. New call money,
for example. was put out at Az to Y
per cent, compared with 51s to s per
cent last week. The new reduced re-
serve requirements now in effect, not
only for national banks. but for the
state institutions as we'll. were respon-
sible for the largely increased ofrer-
ings of capital. The opinion has been
held that the immediate effect on the
market for time funds and commercial
paper has been discounted in the de-
cline of rates for two weeks back. This
is not so. however, since 1t Is now m
dicated that still more favorable rates
will be quoted in this department be-
fore long.
There can be no doubt that events
are rapidly coming to favor resump-
tion of unlimited and unrestricted stock
exchange activities, one Of the chief
effects of which should be to encour-
age and develop the demand for Sc
curities That demand is already
broadening. as is reflected in the stock
and bond markets, in their present re.
stricted state. The re-establishment or
the stock market on a national basis
would do much to encourage a more
healthy demand for securities among
investors 1t is obvious, for example.
that many people would be ready to
purchase in a free market, but would
refuse to buy in market where trad
ing is limited to about a fixed level
of Quotations. 1t is, therefore. expect
ed that events will now move more
RAPIDLY In the direction of a further
lessenine of the restrictions upon
stock trading than was expected a
month ago. The skies are clearing.

Today's statement gave only the
grand totals. since it was impossible to
make comparison with any previous

and excess cash reserves were occa-
stoned largely by a reduction in re-
