N ew York, Dec. 28.— Preparations
were in progress last week to meet
heavy obligations incident to the Janu
ary disbursements, which in New York
are estimated to be $225,000,000.
H eavy remittances to foreign markets
to meet payments o f dividends and in
terest to holders o f American securi
ties made it a question until the mid
dle o f the week whether gold would
not have to be shipped to London.
Volatile rises occurred in individual
stocks, most from vaguely rumored
causes, but there were enough dividend
increases to keep up a hopeful spirit
among stockholders.
The census bureau’s cottonginning
estimate was regarded as confirmatory
of the agricultural department’s view
of the cotton crop shortage, and the
rise in cotton to above 16 cents pointed
to causes responsible for the high cost
o f livin g and the disadvantages this
involved.
Added interest was given to this
question by steps taken by railroad em
ployes to formulate demands for an in
crease in wages early next year. Senti
ment is not free from apprehension that
labor troubles may have to be reckoned
with in reaching settlements.
The disposition in financial circles,
however, is to take a hopeful view.
This same is true o f the subject o f

have been. Now I am entirely well, and
the pimples have all disappeared from u y
