"The refusal of the National league

about the denial of the shortage in the

her denial on a letter said to have been
written by the auditing committee, after
the books were audited in August of this
year:
"I do not think a letter was sent to
Mr. Wilson, saying his books were cor
rect. Even had such been the case, it
would havtfcjbeen of no value, as Mr. VtfL
son's shortage was not discovered by
the members of the committee. The
method used by him In concealing his

which he made his deposits did not stamp

BETTER THAN A PLEDGE.
How I)r. John Wesley Brown Helped
a Man to Quit the Liquor Hnbit.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A Cleveland man tells this pat'ietic and
characteristic story of the late Rev. Dr.
John Wesley Brown, the incident occurr
ing while he was rector of Trinity church
in this city. The story was toFd the nar
rator by the doctor himself.
One evening a stranger called at the
rectory on Superior street adjoining the
church. He was a well dressed, well ap
pearing man, but evidently in deep
trouble.
"Dr. Brown-," he said, "I have come to
you for advice and assistance. I am a
victim of the drink habit. I have an
excellent position—l am cashier fcr a
vvealhty corporation—and I Know I can
not retain ;t unless I reform. I want
you to draw up a pledge for me—make
it as strong as you can, please—and I
will sign it, and you will witness it."
Dr. Brown leaned hack and looked at
the man.
"How long have you been drinking to
excess?" he a?ked.
The man told him it was five cr six
years; ever since he obtained his present
position. He only drank to excess when
he was with his -friends. He never
drank at other times. When he was
with, his friends he would forget him
self and overstep the limit. Sometimes
he didn't go on a spree for a whole
month, but the attacks were ~ growing
more frequent. He seemed to be losing
his will power. .
"My, friend," said the doctor, "you
don't need a pledge. I see in you a vie-"
tim of good comradeship. You are far
from being an ordinary drunkard.;- If
you signed a temperance 1 pledge and
broke it—as you undeubtedly .would do—
it would still further degrade you : in'-your
own eyes. I do not advise the pledge."
The man looked dumfounded.
"But what am I to do?" he gasped. ?
The doctor drew • a card from his desk
and rapidly wrote a few lines.
. REFORMED.
"There," he said; "read that."
This is what the man read:
"To my friends: I find I am becoming
a victim of the liquor habit. If I do
not quit I am sure to lose my position
and ruin myself. For God's sake, don't
ask me to drink with you."
o"J h here 7, said Dr- Brown, "sign that
and, I will sign it as -a. witness. All I
ask.of you is to show the card when
temptation is at your elbow, and you
™] 1 come here and tell me about It.
There! Goodnight."
It was a full month befort the man re
turned,, worried and dejected.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.— A New Ycrk
special to the Chronicle says:
Professional speculators "taking pessi
mistic views of the business Situation,
working to create scares and upset the
security markets equanimity, have been
badly punished. . Such traders became
very bearish a fortrtfght ago over what
they declared was the certain proscei't
of money market stringency, end at'the
beginning of this week they were not
only of positive opinion, but united in
aggressive attacks upon quotations. An }
extended short interest did exist through
out the market, and it materially in
creased up to a couple of days ago—it
being the popular professional estimate
that surplus reserves would be found ex
hausted with the issuance of today's |
clearing-house bank statement.
In sojpe parts of the market concen- |
trated adverse efforts resulted in lather
substantial declines, but the stock list
as a whole showed suggestive sturdiness,
I most of the standard stocks yielding not
| at all even when vigorous raids wei'e c?- j
j pecially made upon them. It was not, j
I however, until Friday that more than i
I negative strength showed; then actual j
budyancy developed suddenly, and up Aq i
the close of business for the week-there j
was continuing improvement attendant
i upon extraordinary activity. The exhibit :
j of today's market movement was equal }
j even to the enthusiasm reflected in the i
{ record-breaking market that closely fol- !
■ lowed the election.
When the weekly bank statement ap
peared it proved to i>e very different from
any of the sensational forecasts. Instead
i of a reverse shrinkage of from $7,<KX»,C(K>
to $10,000,000 there was shown an actual
increase of some hundreds of thousands
of dollars. This surprise was denounced
as wicked manipulation, but the denun
ciation could command scant sympathy,
so cocksure and so violent bad they been
in their antagonism a£ every stockholding
interest. Some -had even been talking
panic, insisting that:money rates follow
ing this bank statement must of a sud
den go rushing ut> to a point where
wholesale security liquidation wcu'd be
enforced.
FEATURES OF T#E BANK STATE
MENT.
The Financier says: Through the famil
iar operation of ;a .^eavy contraction in
loans which reduced deposit liabilities,
and thus lessened.-cash reserve require
ments, the New York clearing-house
banks last week neutralized the effect
of a heavy drain of funds and even suc
ceeded in adding slightly to their sur
plus cash. This shawing was unexpected,
and instead of an unfavorable statement
the banks made a particularly strong ex
hibit.
The chief feature is the $13,682,500 de
crease in loans, with one or two excep
tions the heaviest of the year. It is
known that several financial institutions
called in large special loans of late,
"and the approach of the January dividend
period always brings about a withdrawal
of funds from the market in anticipation
of that event It. was not anticipated,
however, that a liquidation so marked
would be encountered in a six-day period.
The cash changes are about as figured
early in the week. The banks lost heav
ily to the treasury and calls from the
interior were also large, but, on the other
hand, money is beginning to flow in thi^;
direction again and the heavy losses
which have been ;noted from week to
week give promise ; of being made up
by current receipts from the same
sources.
SURPLUS UNEVENLY DISTRIBUTED.
The pcesent excess surplus stands at
$6,325,375. This, of itself. is larger than at
the end of ten previous weeks, T scattered
over the ; current, ear.; As a matter of ,
] fact, however, excess .is very un
evenly distributed, and one bank holds In
i its - vaults j more than 60 j per cent the •
j whole amount. ._': ThisVmeans that; the . re-'
maining institutions are not 1 in as strong
;a | position, ' from j the reserve standpoint,
as at the> olose of the last previous week.
: Circulation jis expanding:, after . - several
; weeks' decrease,. and i rose j $116,100 j for the.
j six days: ending Saturday. Despite an- -
ticipations of an unfavorable statement,
■money has; not shown , more than the
I usual degree of firmness, and unless signs;
usually looked upon vas accurate are
found to be misleadingr. only, unimportant
i changes will r be. ; , encountered. iThe ; na
tional banks are awaiting the call of the
• comptroller of the currency for: state
•ments. : Once ttiese^ are -made the I present
strain will be relieved in part.

Recent Reports Are More Enconrhg-
in«; to Financial Circles,
f BERLIN, Dec. 16.—in financial | circles
: last: week ; attention : was • devoted; chiefly
to the affairs of the mortgage bank.?.
; The weekly financial reviews freely admit
; that the market was.- rapidly :~ drifting
: toward . panic until , a syndicate of I Ber
lin bankers : was organized ■ for the pro
f tection of > the holders of obligations of
I the ■" Prussia Hypotheken § Aktien bank.
The . danger - was i intensified early ■in '. the
week by the announcement that the
; Pomeranian Hypofheken; bank and the
Mecklenburg-Strelitz Hypotheken .bank
j would discontinue repurchasing \ their ob
' ligations, and so great was the apprehen- '
5 sion that : the published statement of the
: United Mortgage banks, asserting that
': their own condition was , perfectly sound, .
i did not have an immediate effect. Never
| theless this statement and the organiza
tion of a "syndicate, quieted alarm, and
at the end iof the week I the selling j| of
■ obligations had markedly diminished and
t the general tone of the : market improved.
■ The declines for the week In mortgage
bank obligations range from two: to eight
i points, which means an enormou3 - loss
|-on ; the six. billion marks in such securi
ties circulating in Germany.
'[ Yesterday morning the committee of
holders of obligations of the Deutsche
.• Gerundschalt bank published* a state
ment showing that the most recent bal
ance sheets of the institution were false,
and that during the last eighteen months
41,000,000 . marks ;of first class ■ mortgages
I had been replaced by second class,' mostly
worthless, and the ; committee asks the
' holders :to " take measures to avoid ' bank
ruptcy, - thereby saving from r 35,000,000
marks to 40,000,000 marks. .; '.
I , The.; mortgage bank affairs affected the
money market, inasmuch as the banks
have entirely withdrawn from the loan
.'business = and,' on the contrary, are bor
- rowing in order to ;. repurchase their ciiy
ligations. f> Private, discount reached 4% T
per: cent, and-call ' loans .4; per cent. The
; Reichsbank : Btill. expects to ' maintain the
existing rate until Dec. 31.
