Washington Ticker
BY CLINTON COFFIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


For the first time since Civil War
days the United States Government is
getting its monetary affairs in such
shape that definite calculations can be
made as to the actual volume of paper
curren y that it has outstanding. Dur
ing so years and more the Treasury's
Bureau of Printing and Engraving has
been turning out paper money in issues
of ever-increasing size-reaching in the
aggregate scores of billions OF dollars
and has been replacing tattered and
worn and burned notes with new, but
has never been able to compile anything
but rough gueSses as to what proportion
of money put into use has been COM
pletely destroyed and can never be
brought in for redemption.
Now, however, since complete new
issues of all outstanding paper money
Of different size and design began gong
into circulation last July, replacing the
old bills of all descriptions, some data
can be shaped up in the next few
months that may throw lot of light
on the subject. The exchange OF new
size bills for old is approaching COM
pletion, somewhere between 90 and 30
per cent of the old money having been
automatically withdrawn through bank
i'm channels. However, the getting In
of the last 20 per cent, or such part OF
it as still remains in existence, expert
ence with money issues indicates Will
be by far the longest drawn out por-
ton of the operation.
"It will be few months yet before
acturial estimates can be undertaken"
commented w. S. Broughton, commits
sioner of the public debt, in whose de-
partment the paper money Is going
through its evolution. "A certain pro-
portion of paper money put into circu-
iation stays out an unbelieVably long
time, and yet keeps coming back In
driblets for scores of years after being
officially recalled For example, no 81
or 80 National Bank notes have been
issued since 1880, and banks began send
in : them in for redemption shortly
after that date. Notwithstanding, we
Get one or two notes of those denomi-
nations occasionally even now.
"Of course, the Treasury has record
of every dollars worth of paper money
ever put out The unknown factor is
the amount destroyed beyond redemp-
ton while in circulation. The complete
change in size and design of all paper
money will simply allow estimates to
be made on the subject, but we shall
not even begin those calculations for
some months"
Banking opinions differ as to what
the final showing on the total of paper
money destroyed in circulation will be,
since the problem has many novel as
poets. From 1919 on for five years
American money got tremendous foreign
circulation in European countries

STOCKS IN UPTURN
AFTER DULL START
Market Goes Forward as
Operators for Advance
Bid Up Leaders.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE
stock market finally turned upward to-
day, after drifting about uncertainty
during an extremely dull forenoon, with
sales during the first two hours of trad
ing totaling less than a million shares.
Operators for the advance were en-
couraged by the comparative stability
of the market during the morning, and
activity picked up considerably during
the early afternoon, as several leading
shares were bid up from Q to more than
6 points. The rapid drying up of the
selling movement which depressed prices
sharply yesterday was particularly
pleasing to the bull element.
Credit Situation.
Call money was firmer than for sew
eral days past, but held officially at Az
per cent. News bearing on the credit
situation, however, was largely favor
able. The decline of ST. 100000 in Sc
curity loans by weekly reporting men,
Der banks. as reported by the Federal
Reserve, was particularly pleasing, as
1t occurred in a week when brokers'
loans increased $33,000.000, and indi-
Gates that banks are at last making
progress in liquidating security loans.
During recent weeks, when brokers'
loans declined abruptly, bank loans on
securities were practically unchanged.
Also a downturn In foreign exchange
rates was viewed with satisfaction, In
dicating at least temporary check to
the outgoing movement of gold. 1t
was reported from Washington that the
Treasury and Reserve officials were un-
concerned over the gold movement.
The f1rmnesS Of call money reflected
primarily the cash payment today for
the Governments initial Offering of
Treasury bills, totaling $100.000,00
Corporation news was largely re-
stricted to dividend announcement by
smaller concerns. Crucible Steel, how
ever, announced a payment of 8 per
cent In stock, and Newmont mining, Q
stock dividend of per cent. Howe
Sound directors declared 50-cent cash
extra.
Afternoon Gains.
United States and Republic Steel rose
about points each. Western Union,
General Electric and Johns Manville
rose 5 to 6. Westinghouse Electric,
American Can, A. M. Byers, United
States Industrial Alcohol, National Bis
cult and International Harvester rose
3 to 4. The upturn embraced all groups,
with the exception of the motors, which
failed to make notable Roadway.
Considerable irregularity appeared
during the early trading, and q few
rather volatile stocks declined sharply,

Kissing Spreads the Flu

warnings against kissing of all varieties during the flu

Doctors agree that flu germs lodged in the resp

huggng and necking,' is extremely dangerous.
Heath experts long tried break up kissing but do
have made much headway especially among those
deeply in love.
DR. Fowler may be unable to officially declare moratorium
against kissing in Washington but he might get favorable
by sending poetic cards that would impress the love
afflicted, something along this line
