Money Rates Continue Low.

Money Rates continue Low.
Requirements of greater stock mar
ket activity had little stitfening effect
on money rates. Tho renewal rate on
Coll loans was . per cent for the latter
part of the week, after it had been Ia
earlier. Fixed date funds on collateral
were in little demand, because of the
plethora Of accommodation offered at
low rates on call.
Foreign exchange at the start moved
even more decidedly in our favor. Sight
drafts on London sold at S4.7S1s for
sovereign, where under ordinary cir
cLmstances it is more profitable TO i'm
port gold than to sell bills at around
S4.S4. The Continental exchanges were
also depressed to abncrmally low levels.
Purchase of exchange to pay for Euro
pean owned securities sold in this mar
ket, and expectation of the long await
cd British credit, with some frmncss
in London discounts, caused an abrupt
recovery in exchange rates before the
end of the week, demand sterling sell
ing as high as $4.S0$s.
For this advantageous position in
exchange, official figures Of our foreign
| trade for February gave explanation.
They showed exports of over $29S, ,000,-
900, nearly $1,000,000 above the best
the month had ever produced, while
imports were only l25,000,000. The
favorable balance of $l73. 100000 was
S51 ,000,0 900 greater than had been ex-
pected from preliminary estimates.
With the two months preceding, this
made an export excess OF S45,OOO,OOO.
For the first three weeks of March the
principal customs ports showed a Ia
vorable trade balance OF nearly Sl03,-
600 900, which indicates that March VIII
better the wonderful record OF the
month preceding. In February net I'M
ports of gold were only around Sll,-
100000, leaving an immense balance
due on current account. The gold re-
ceived and engaged last week made
only trifing Offset.
Foreign Credits Here Soon.
The Bank of England, following loss

reserve proportion two points lower, at
around 22l2. Discount rates in Lon
don advanced again, and more definite
steps were taken here and on the other
side toward some arrangement for ex-
tension Of credit to London by Ameri-
can bankers, which should make easy
the immense purchases in this country
of Great Britain and her allies. Bank
ers In this city and In London nave
been considering how best TO settle
Europe's debts here on cIrrent ac-
count without unnecessary transfer of
gold. Financial institutions here have
extended individual credits of $1,000
600 or S2,O0O,0O0. but the extent Of
such accommodation is limited, il a
proper proportion is to be maintained
between domestic and foreign business.
The present plan is for banks here
to undertake sale in this country of
bonds of foreign nations. 1t has been
necessary TO convince European au-
thorities that, to make such obliga-
tions attractive to American investors,
who will have to carry the loans, bet

The Greatest Comedy at the Victoria
TODAY

To-day the Victoria presents for the
first time in Harrisburg the greatest
of all film comedies, "Tillie S Punctur-
ed Romance" produced by the Key
stone Company which insures its being
a rip-roaring comedy. Miss Marie
Dressler was specially engaged for this
laugh-provoking feature and of course
that great Keystone comedian, Charles
Chaplin, takes one of the leading parts.
As cure for the blues no one could
prescribe better remedy than this
six-part comedy. This picture will
positively be shown at the Victoria to-
day and tomorrow. Besides "Tillie IS

class pictures will be shown and each

THE HOUSE OF SORROW
Those Who Have Dwelt Therein Have
Learned a Lasting Lesson

They that have experienced great
sorrow are born again. The world
they are now in is quite different from
their old world In that earlier world
they lived upon terms of household
familiarity with JOY and felicity. Now
they must lie down by the side of sor-
row and eat with sorrow beside them
at the board. Outward things may as
sert their identity to eve, to ear, to
touch, but outward things cannot de-
ceive the spirit within. The house of
sorrow is strange, oil its furniture is
strange, and the newcomer must learn
anew how to live.
The first lesson is to accept the past
as beautiful day that is done, as the
loneliness of rose that has withered
away. The object of our yeaping
has passed from the world of actual
contacts into the world of art. Mem
ory may paint the picture as it will,
drop out all shadows and catch the
beauty of our exquisite less in all tho
golden glow of human happiness.
There. within the shrine prepared by
sorrow, that picture will ever refresh
us and bless us. Evil cannot touch it.
nor i'll will, nor envy, nor sorbid care.
Only our own faithfulness, our own
acceptance of unworthy things, can
stain the freshness of its beauty. Sor-
row has constituted us the sacristans
of this shrine; on us rests the care of
this pictured relic, and unless we suffer
notes and beams to get in our eyes it
will remain as bright in the sanctuary
of memory as in the sunshine of earth
ly life. Atlantic,

good style. They open with two in

two vocal numbers by the entire com

next a solo and chorus of ''When You

follows and for an encore a medley of
national airs in which the work of
the man with the drums's is really
surprising. The act is effectively and
beautifully mounted, being an artistic
treat from saart to finish. Another de-
eidely bright light of the bill is the
first local appearance of Claire Roeh-
ester, who is a newcomer in vaudeville.
Her success however has been in

very pleasing personality. she is the

On one occasion Gustave Dore, the
artist, lost his passport while on a tour
in Switzerland. At Lucerne he asked
to be allowed to speak to the mayor,
to whom he gave his name.

mayor, but and he produced a piece
of paper and pencil, ''you can easily

Dore looked around him and saw
some peasants selling potatoes in tho
street. With a few clever touches he
reproduced. the homely scene and, APP
pending his name to the sketch, pre-
sented it to the mayor.
