YEAR-END MONEY
DEMANDS ARE HUGE
Domestic Market Must Cover
Requirements TotaIing
About Two Billions.
BY CHARLES +. SPEARE.

special Dispatch to The Star. - ~
NEW YORK, December 16-For the
next two weeks the domestic money
market will be called upon to cover
the largest commitments In Govern
ment and corporation finance for any
similar period this year.
These include the turnover In con-
nection with the refunding Of Treasury
notes, payment of the last installment
OF 1880 income taxes, the disbursement
Of December Is interest and dividend
checks, the withdrawal Of the usual
Christmas currency from the banks
and the collection from corporations Of
funds that will be distributed to own
ers of stocks and bonds on January 2.
The total amount involved in these
transactions is estimated at more than
$4,000, 100000. The shifting of funds
and the temporary withdrawal of o
portion Of them from the market Is
likely to strengthen rates for call
money, though the supply Of it Is SO
great that not much change In the
daily quotation will occur. Under nor
NAL conditions this period Of the year
Is one when call rates are subject to
sharp but temporary changes, with
rates inclining to q higher average,
until funds that have been taken from
the banks are returned to them In the
nrst or second week of January.
The major financial operations are
those of a Government character, in
Cluding the retirement of $585, 900 900
Of Treasury notes between now and
Wednesday, and the collection Of De-
eember Is income tax payments and
foreign debt payments amounting to
about $123, 900. There are q large
number Of corporations, including sew
eral of the Standard OIL companies
whose quarterly dividends fall due to-
day and represent considerable dollar
amounts.
In spite Of the large number Of cor
porattOns that have either reduced or
passed dividends that ordinarily would
be paid the first Of next year, the total
disbursements to stockholders and
hondholders on January viii be larger
than in any previous period. It Is
estimated that the aggregate Of divi-
dend payments this year Il running
about 10 per cent over 1879. There
have been only o few defaults IN the
payment Of bond interest.
Bankers believe that, in spite Of the
depression, there viii again Be q heavy
call for currency in the next 10 days
for use during the Christmas season
The normal amount Of this runs into
high figures. There are also likely to
be quite heavy transfers Of currency to
the interior.
AS a balance for the extraordinary
seasonal requirements of money, so far
as the effect Of this on interest rates Is
concerned. Is the liquidation which Is
taking place In securities and is re-
hected each week in a reduction In
brokers' loans. This item showed o
comparatively small decline last week,
but Is expected to compare in its extent
with some Of the heavy decreases Of the
last two months, inasmuch as the
shrinkage In stock values since the last
Federal Reserve report has been heavy.

the stock is traded In on the New York

since the organization Of the companv

annually. AS with other prosperous
operating public utilities, the stock

turn II only the cash dividend Is taken
into account. The explanation lies. of
course, In the value Of the rights to
furnish new capital extended to share

In the last seven years-that is to

rights to subscribe to new stock at par
have been offered to stockholders six
times. II these rights were sold in

capitalizing this amount at 6 per cent

when four persons, including the pilot,
might have been, HAS nothing to do with
the case except to make 1t more inter-
esting.
The mother had turned on the gas
stove and left the house Just before the
fall. When the airplane hit, the home
was drenched with gasoline. The wom-
ans son had not returned for his usual
nap and her daughter missed o train
from New York, or she would have been
in the path Of the wreck.
These facts. while Of great human In
tereSt are secondary to the plain one
that homes should not be molested from
the air in times Of peace.
Every agency, both Federal and State,
should be turned to safeguarding the
American home from the result Of acct
dents In the air.
Few houses. even those Of the wealthy,
are 50 constructed a. to be able to Tepist
the impact Of falling airplane, espe-
cially of the engine.
The ordinary house roof can be
smashed through In such wise as easily
as If 1t were made Of paper. This makes
it all the more imperative that every
practical step should be taken to fore
stall such accidents.
It Is much to the credit Of aviators,
as a class, that the number Of such &C.
cidents so far has been few. But as the
Nation becomes more airminded the
chances for such occurrences will In
crease.
There could be few disasters more
terrible than to have an airplane plunge
through the roof Of an occupied house.
The perpetual menace would weigh
heavily on thousands Of sensitive minds.
What the steps are which will safe
guard American property and lives in
this respect must be left to the proper
authorities, but that such steps should
be taken there can be no doubt, and
they will not be taken completely until
the freak aspects Of such accidents are
disregarded and attention paid only to
the serious side.

DR.. Mlnthe belongs to that great and
good company Of writers who have no
quarrel with that admirable institution,
the sentence.
The matter perhaps would not need
mentioning were 1t not for the fact that
every once and a while one runs head
on into q piece Of writing in which q
writer calmly, despite the work of Kip
ling, Shakespeare, Shawn fact, every
writer who ever wrote-insistS on writ
ing groups of woods without verbs.
Sometimes such herder of groups of
images will have no subject, another
time no predicate, always no verb. We
are treated to such an opening as this:
Failing leaves In q city. Moonlight.
Keen scent Of burning leaves" etc.
One wonders why, since the so-called
writer has gone to the trouble of max
| ing those groups Of words look like
sentences by providing capitals and Pc
RODS, he-or she-inSiStS on cheating
hin1self-or hersef-by refraining so
carefully from verbs.
II old Dan Chaucer found the stand
ard sentence a mighty, mighty useful
thing In expressing thought, why cannot
our Pet Aversion find their use ex-
pedient?
If the great authors Of 80 and 44-100
of the worlds masterpieces invariably
used sentences, why cannot this Com
pleate Writing Ass go and do likewise?
The only answer available is that such
q misguided person is aware that he or
she cannot write; that he has no real
thoughts about anything, and, above
all, that he possesses no ability at the
inner construction so essential to good
writing work.
This compelling interest Of inner
construction dances over the words and
sentences of good writing like bright
but soft light.
It is the soul of every book which
has 1t.
It is after all, what stirs us, what
brings tears to our eyes, what sends
shivers up our back.
It is what the translators had who
gave us the King James version of the
Bible
Every one Of the real classics Of lit
eraturahas it, to some extent, at least.
All great poems capable Of giving the
exaltation of mind and heart which
great poetry alone can give possess
the interest Of secret inner construc-
ton.
The common expression, reading
between the lines" means nothing else.
What can we read between the
lines" except the inner grace of mind
His grammar might be atrocious, his
ideas sledgehammer blows to the ortho-
dox, but his work would be as shining
light in a dark land.
The words say one thing, ali yes but
the spirit behind the words says to-
, tally different thing, yet one with what
the words say!
One cannot explain precisely what
this spirit says, because no two readers
will read 1t exactly alike.
But that 1t says something, and says
it divinely well, all discriminating per-
sons will be willing to admit.
Read the majestic poetry of that man
or men we call Isaiah. Surely he hath
borne our griefs, and carried our sor-
rows; yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted. But he
was wounded for our transgressions, he
was bruised for our iniquitieS; the chas-
| tisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed"
| Call it the compelling interest Of in
ner construction, or inspiration, the re-
suit Is the same.
