at S% and 9A cents respectively. Sales
Of 60-4Ss were made at 71a cents. Trad
ing in the last few days of the week
was quiet, but the market closed with
prices firm and buyers apparently more
willing to commit themselves to pur-
chases. The buyers who were on the
verge OF doing business freely on the
day that the cotton report came out,
however, still need to regain confidence
in values. They require many goods
for January, but are timid about op-
Grating until they have seen whether
or not cotton markets will hold steady.
Any rise in cotton Is expected to drive

Berlin. Dec. IL.
The Bourse last week showed a sweep
of unusual contrast between the new
rise In the dollar rate and the low quo
tations of industrial stocks and bonds
The money market proved true to the
barometer of public opinion. which
through sudden changes and unexpected
Government announcements concerning
the reparations problem experienced one
surprise after another.
On the other hand, since the sudden
general drop of shares q fortnight ago
the stock market shows lethargy But
as the present stock quotations not only
do not correspond TO the present dollar
rate OF 200 marks but not even to a
dollar rate or 100 marks stock buying
shows a tendency of again increasing.
BourSe circles are not optimistic re-
garding the future rate OF the mark.
They suggest that the Government has
good chance to obtain a change in
the reparations scheme, but feel sure
that such change will be accompanied
Dy extremely heavy new burdens, OBJ
llgationS and mortgages which will sur
prise the optimists. Some bankers even
expect that after a possible alienation
In the reparations scheme the dollar
may rise to point far above the pres
ent rate. For the next few weeks un-
ceasing and considerable fluctuations in
the dollar rate are predicted.
During this period the dollar rate
will adapt itself to a greater extent TO
"a hn
tons negotiations, the only remaining
natural regulating factor being the New
York mark rate.
During the first week in December
the paper money circulation in Germany
increased by 2.l00, 100000 marks, the
total paper circulation amounting to
1e2. 400, 900, 900 marks.
The situation of the budget OF the
city of Berlin is depressing. according
to a report made to Parliamentary party
representatives by the Burgomaster.
TIE deficit IN the 1921 budget is about
200, 100000 marks. Last years deficit
was 100000, 900 marks. Berlin needs
additional annual revenues Of SOC. .00O,-
coo to 70O,000.00o marks. The construc-
tion of a number of public buildings
had been started, but it is now neces-
sary to discontinue this construction
work, although already 100000. 900
marks has been invested in the build
ings. In order TO resume this construc-
ton work SOC. 100000 marks are needed,
Among these buildings are hospitals,
public baths and cemeteries.
1t is reported that the president of
the Reichsbank, Herr Havenstein, on
his return from London established
direct relations between the Reichsbank
and the state Bank of Holland. In Lon
don he opened current account for the
Reichsbank with the Bank of England.
The same arrangements have now been
made with the Holland state bank.
whose president, Mr.. .Nissering, nego-
tiated the matter personally with Herr
Havenstein.

SANTA CLAUS AWAITS
QUARANTINE LIFTING
Eight Cases of Scarlet FeUer
at Orphan Home.

One hundred orphans in the Foster
Orphan Home at 2S4 Bellville avenue.
Newark. wondered yesterday il they
were going to have a visit from Santa
Claus this year. Their worry is due
to the discovery of eight cases of
scarlet fever during the week. and
quarantine of the institution by the
Board of Health. The i'll children
have been sent to the isolation ward
and the others are asking if Santa
will come with the presents.
Miss Julia Macdonald. superintend
ent. has been told by the authorities
that if no new cases develop before
Friday the quarantine will be lifted.
The children were told of this yester-
day and prayed that all would remain
well until Friday.

Probable Shortage of SIX.

Rumors Of a pro bable shortage Of raw
silk are not without foundation, accord
ing to dealers, as an inventory of stocks
on hand shows but a comparatively small
quantity to meet the approach of the
most important season of the year. Be-
ginning with January orders will be
placed for spring and summer delivery
by the large silk mills and present sup
plies are not expected to outlast the
early seasonal rush. The hardening of
prices following the offering of the syn
dicatc silk several days ago is but
further evidence, according to some.
that but small quantity is on hand.
No easing in the situation is looked
to develop before the early part of
March.

No Turn From Narrow ribbons.

The furry of the broad ribbon in
place of the narrow type. being felt in
certain millinery lines. is explained by
q dealer as the periodic feoler which
milliners put out to find the trend OF
styles. The tendency for the narrow
ribbon is somewhat more pronounced
this year than formerly, due to the
fact that it has been in vogue so long
that dealers feel that it is now time
for change. Whether or not such
"a change is desirable most dealers are
unable to say. Demand at present con-
tinues strong for the narrow ribbon for
millinery purposes.

German Toy Trade Gaining.

That the public aversion TO German
goods evident just after the war ap
parently has disappeared Is shown. ac-
cording tn a prominent toy manufac-
turer, in that more than 35 per cent. OF
toy stocks in retail stores bear the
stamp of German manufacturers. Many
American toy manufacturers arc COM
plsning against increasing imrortations
OF German goods, but il Is difficult to
Judge The actual extent OF the competi-
ton as the majority of German toys
are entirely different from those made
here and sell to different class of
people. Some merchants say that Ger
man goods are not bought at the ex-
pense OF the American manufacturer,
in proof of which they point to the fact
that this years stocks of American toys
are as larGe ns OF yore.
