OFFtCE OF The GAHHTTE
FORT WORTH, TEX. Dec. is, 1885,
The approach OF the holidays has
greatly stimulated trade, aud great ac-
tivity Is displayed in all lines.
A president OF one Of our national banks
said to- day that Fort Worth merchants
were in remarkably good financial con
dillon. When the drouth came they acted
wisely and prepared for the worst; the
consequence was they met all the liabin-
ties, and the banks had an abundance Of
money TO loan them ut low rate Of in
terest Eggs are still going upwards and
are active. Turkeys are higher.
FINANCIAL,
During the past week the New York
stock market has shown a certain amount
Of hesitation natural after such violent
speculation as that of the preceding week,
with considerable amount of weakness
caused by the situation Of the money mar.
ket and by special influences affecting Ger.
tain stocks. The opening of session Of
congress is also generally supposed to
have dlsqlieting effect on the market,
In this connection it is proper to
observe that the presidents mes
sage Snd the treasury report seem
to have had but little influence ON the
market. Trading has been active, and at
all times there has appeared TO be a
strong undertone to the market. The
prevalent opinion of the street is that a
further advance of prices Is presumable,
though this is qualified In some quarters
/, by being postponed until after the first OF
the year, when the unsettling influence OF
the large disbursements and consequent
readjustment Of loans shall have been
removed. To some extent such views
have been shared by considerabl,
! portion Of the active traders In thu
market, and 1t would seem that a shor
interest Of considerable dimensions hR:
been created, though it is doubtful
whether their operations are for NOR,
than turn. The public continues dis
| posed to come into the street and engag,
| In speculation, and this has ALREADY
| widened the market to such limits that fol
the present its movements cannot be saiC
to be governed by leading operators OF
cllques to the xtent which up To recently
has prevailed. In this situation is at one,
contained the present strength and TIT
! possibility OF future weakness In thu
market. The fancies and Southern stocks
| have again come to the front, and thi
week obtained large share OF attention
The foreign participation has run intt
special stocks, but the buying for Londol
account has been fair, and, to some ex
tent has aided in keeping the marke
steady Bradstreet's.

A Great Newspaper Enterprise.

journalistic enterprise of the old
times, though not of much account
beside the wonderful achievements
Of the present day. was well worth
boasting about, anyway. For in
stance read the following, from the
Louisville Ky Courier, Of Fri
day, December 10, 1917, under the
head of The Presidents Message !"
" This lengthy document, which we
have the pleasure of laying before
our readers in the form Of an extra,
was delivered at Washington at noon
on Tuesday last. 1t was carried to
Philadelphia py special railroad ex-
press. and from that point it was dis
patched to Louisville by the mag
netic telegraph expressly for The
Courier, Journal, and Democrat.
This is the greatest newspaper en-
terprise ever attempted in any quar-
ter of the world, and Is one of the
most wonderful feats ever accom-
plished by the aid OF mans genius
The enormous outlay necessary to
procure this document may be judg-
ed from the fact that the regular
charge for telegraphing from Phila-
delphia TO Louisville is eight cents
for every word T"

He Couid Do IL.

A prominent Methodist clergy
man tells the following story Of an
old Baptist preacher who always
contrived to lug baptism into his
sermons, whatever bis text might be.
The old gentleman was asked one
day if he could possibly preach a
sermon without alluding TO his IA
vorite doctrine. He said he could
and would if they would give him a
text without any baptism init. The
first chapter of Ezra, ninth verse,
was selected. which read as follows
"And this il the number of them
thirty charges of gold, a thousand
charges of silver, nine and twenty
knives" He entered tie pulpit.read
his text, and said f: "My brethren.
| don't see Ehat they wanted with
so many knives, unless it vas 20 cut

pie.
