Notwithstanding the sub- e'antiai recuperation effected in the New. York banking position as exhibited in '.the weekly bank statement on Saturday ihs' banking . authorities, were evidently proceeding to-day with the work of build ing up their reserve strength. Attention was given to-day to the annual "report f the controller of the currency in .which - ths distinctive part played by -runic amongst bankers - themselves In precipitating the ; crisis - Is dwelt upon. The . conclufclon reached, in effect, by . this govemmnt .official, seems to be that ' the present, banking reserve system was : broken down and practically discredited by the- events of October and November, , The spirit of distrust which prompted ; the withdrawal of deposits from central reserve and reserve centres by the small er banks of the country seems, in .fact to be slow in passing. : , , ' The principal weakness - in - the day's ' stock' market was among stocks asso ciated with the metal, industries, -As prices started higher' and , then' mad f same final, recovery, the day's extreme - declines, wers partly neutralised, - Bonds were irregular.

Reads It. New ..York Sun. '., ' ; ' , An industrious book agent- who works the, outskirts of the city says that aeverat times a day. he la con. fronted by the door-yard sign "Be ware the Dog" or "Beware the Dogs.1 In most instances the sign Is erected near a kennel with ft, doorway big enough to admit a Great. Pane or a young: hippopotamus. . Sometime! there are two kennels. "And if I were in the business of buying up IS-cent dogs I should ex pect to get one or more wherever I see one ot these signs," said the book agent. "Whenever you ev the 'Beware the Dog' sign you may be sure . of ,one of two things that mere is somewhere . on the premises ah undersized mongrel that when he sees you .will beat It with his tail curled under him like a boiled lob ster. or that the sign belonged to the -family that, moved ont aewhlle ago. , v .. ... '. - - "If you are timid as to doge, put aside your fear when you see the 'beware' sign. The chances are that the dog or dogswill eee you before you see them and that your only evidence or tneir presence - win - be their yelps while running for th shelter of the ash barrels,, or that mere are no aog oil the premise "I like a good dog. You don't have to Jje ware him; he will do the oewanng. He wnl perhapa meet you at the gate and follow von ' tn the door, but he will do nothing .more t yu aiiena 10 your business.' finis is true of larre and small good doge, if you came around at an'Minseasoflable hour of the nlght the good small dog would probably wmiuin 70U ua mates a racket that would wake up the. family.' and tha big good dog might dowVi you with out giving any alarm. But you hever ape the 'beware' sign 'where there Is such a dog. . . ,, "There are snappy dog;a,' and ft is well enough to look tout for .them when entering premises where you are not known; but wherever you see the warning sign it. Is usually safe to take it that you can buy the dog or d's for 16 cents, r that the faintly doesn't own a dog." - ti-s rxtoai , Hawaii a.d japa. r;:.i'oa!
