THE MONEY OUTLOOK

RI FToRTs to contract the loan ac-
Tic, ,ount of the reserve banks have
thus far been very successful, and ac-
cordingly there is no reason to expect
any reduction in call rates for the I'm
mediate present. During the past few
days there have been temporary re-
auctions in call money. but they have
promptly been offset by reactions to
high levels, closing figures ruling
around 10 to IL per cent most Of the
time.
The reports Of the reserve banks
show that. In spite of technical i'm
provement here and there, there has
been only very narrow margin Of
lending power. which IL being almost
entirely required for commercial uses.
The natural influence has been drawn
from this situation that the call money
volume now in the market could not
be very greatly enlarged and that sud-
den or unusual demands upon it would
accordingly result in higher prices for
such funds as were available, the loans
then going to the highest bidder. Many
who would have been glad to purchase
securities at prices which have pre-
vailed for some of the Issues within
the past week, have been deferred from
SO doing by the fact that they would
have to pay so heavily for the loanahle
funds with which to hold their invest
ments until favorable opportunities
arise for taking a profit. There has
been some indication during tho past
week of turn In the tide of crop
moving demands which has fallen
heavily upon The reserve banks during
the past autumn.
Funds are now moving back
into the banks. but they can
not be expected to bring about a ma
terial change in the situation before the
end Of the year. Buyers who are OBJ
liged to borrow must therefore not
count upon cheaper money. The action
Of the federal reserve board Of New
York In advancing discount rates wax
expected and therefore largely dis
counted. 1t should, however. be ac-
cepted as a warning of the limitations
Of the money market, and as evidence
of the intention Of banking authorities
to impose more restraint upon excess
sive initiation.

Ing the anniversary Of the birth OF
Jesus Christ. No day 10 more signia-
can't; none IL of greater importance to
the destiny Of the world. On that day
the Savior Of the human race was born
and from His birth dates the progress

Thu time when the Christmas festi-
val was first observed is not known
with certainty; but 1t is spoken Of In
the beginning of the third century by
Clement Of Alexandra. and in the lat
ter mart Of the fourth century Chrysos-
tom speaks Of 1t as Of great antiquity.
As to the day on which 1t was cele-
brated. there was long considerably
diversity but by the time Of Chrysos-
tom the Western church had fixed on
the 25th OF December. The Eastern
church, which previously had generally
favored the 9Th of January, gradually
adopted the same date.
Many believe that the existence Of
heather festivals celebrated on or
about this day had great influence on
its being selected; and the Brumalia,
a Roman festival held at the winter
solstice, when the sun as 1t were born
anew, has often been instanced as hav-
ing strong bearing on the question.
Coming down to the present time, Dec.
25 has been observed as the anniver-
sary of the birth Of Christ

Il rejoicing over the birth Of the Savior

A TRAGIC MYSTERY.
(Eagle. Brooklyn)

Sensational developments have
turned the death OF little Billy
Danny into one OF the most mysteri-
Gus OF tragedies. The heartbreakinR
story of a lost baby, and a mothers
angish, has heightened into a COM
pick drama involving many people in
what, II the authorities are warrant
ed In their assumptions, was at its
best a terrible accident and blunder.
Al ts worst the case Ia one of MUIR
der.
So far there are only theories of
the vaguest kind as to how the boy
lost his life. The fact that Charles &.
white and his housekeeper are under
arrest Is taken to mean that they are
believed to be implicated in the
death OF the child, but it is also
rumored that the boy was killed by
a stone thrown at his dog while
playing In the dahlia field of Mr..
White.
It is almost unbelievable that such
an accident could lead to SO compli-
Gated case. The theory presupposes
many things contrary to human ma
ture. but not necessarily impossible.
X the boy was struck by stone
thrown at his dog he must have died
In the White house; his death must
nave been known to several persons,
VINO became accessories in disposing
OF the body and in Disgusting their
work In such q way as to throw the
searchers off the track.
All OF these persons, including the
one who was responsible for the ac-
cident. must have suffered from the
tragedy almost as much as the Dam
~ family. nAother dramatic feature
IL that the accused mans father has
taken the lead In the month long
search for the missing boy and has
lived throughout In the house with
his son. II the case against the per-
sons accused follows tho lines suR-
gested 1t should be revealed without
delay. II they are innocent the au-
tnorities have made a serious blunder
II they are guilty OF hiding a fatal
accident in the way suggested thew
have committed a crime. but not muir
