THE STATE OF TRADE.
Activity In Christmas SpecialtieS and
Certain Regular Lines

From Bradstreers Trade Reyiew.l
Trade features Of tho week are found in
continued weakness IN pig iron, wheat,
and wool. with strength in cotton, sugar,
shoes. leather. lumber, rubber, tobacco,
whiskey. hog products, sheetlnSs, shlrt,
lngs. and prints, and higher rates LOT ca,
loans. due to the outlook Tor heavier Eold
General trade at Charleston and Nash
vile IS heavier than 1t was last month.
The demand for holiday specaltes - the
feature AZ Atlanta and Galveston. Collec-
tions at almost all southern cities are very
satisfactory, and the outlook for spring
trade g GOOD. Sales of sugar at New W
leans have been exceptionally heaYy at
constantly advancing prices. Rlce IS ac-
tive but steady. The report TO Brddsiree's
ofI.gI5 correspondents, covering % per
cent. Of the c0tton-growiHg area or tho
United States. indicates that the domestic
cotton crop for 1929 Will probably not
exceed 6. $50. 900 bales. The high price IS
said 10 have caused a rapid movement.
Stocks at interior points are light, and
there il iustanced notable absence OF
piles of unginned cotton. Arkansas and
Florida report tue heaviest percentages Oh
decrease.
A disturbance OF loans started by pre-
variations TOR next weeks anticipated gold
shipments seems primarily responsible Tor
acute symptoms of stringency IN the New
York call-lOan market.
In the East the shoe-factories are very
busily at work on spring goods, while rub
ber-factorles are behind on their orders.
Boston reports an active trade In cotton
goods at full figures, bur dull WOOL mar
ket. The cottOn-mill5 have seldom, If
ever. been so well sold ahead, carrying. as
they do large contracts which run far
into 1898. Prints are very firm, with only
5000 pieces at Fall River, against 455.OOO O
wear ago and $4,000 pieces two years ago.

WHISKEY & TOBACCO
PROBABLE CONSERVATION OF The
TWO GREAT CORPORATIONS.
The LoriiIard Tobacco Company Absorbed
By the American Tobacco Company
Ruin of the Present Small Dealers
Especial telegram to the Dlspatch.l


WINSTON. n. c., December 17.-Tbe
Southern Tobacco journal published TINS
afternoon claims to have authentic in
formation that the American Tobacco
Company has absorbed the Lorillard To-
bacco Company. Of New Jersey. The Jour-
nal says This is a sad reflection and Will
be read with unusual interest by the
trade. The Journal predicted months ago
that il would be an easy matter tor the
trust to absorb the LorIllard people, and
il now looks as IL this had been accom-
plished. IL will only be on easy matter Tor
them to go a step further and take IN St.
Louis factory or two. What this VIII mean
10 the tobacco trade can easily be seen.
1t is now hinted that as soou as the wnls;:
key trust, which is about to get control oil
all the whiskey business in this country,
is perfected, the two corporations Will
combine, making the largest money cor
poratlon In the world"
WHAT IT WOULD MEAN.
Such a corporation would simply mean
ruin 10 the balance Of the tobacco trade In
this country. The combined yalue OF the
two enterprises would be nearly SlO0.OOO.-

A PRETTY BEL.
Indians of Mexico Urged to Revolt by a
Beautiful Girl
icy telegraph to the Dispatch.l


icy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
DEvryG. n. NJ, December News
comes from the State Of chihuahua, Mex,
Of serious discomfort among the iaqul In
diaus end ignorant MeIlcaus. The Indians
are reported 10 be abandoning their homes
in the northern part of tho State and taking
refuge with their families in a stronghold
in the Sierra Madre Mountains, in the west
ern portion. Large numbers from the adj
joining State of Sonora have joined them;
The source Of the trouble is the natural
svmpathy Of these Indians for their neigh
bors, the TemCchlans, who were recently
swept out of existence by the troops Of
tho government, aud the fear Of like fate
for themselves. This discomfort has been
increased by the removal or tho laqUls
from their rich lands and farms along the
banks OF tho Yaqui.
The feeling against the government has
been created into sort of religious fana-
ticism by beautiful young girl named
Anita. whom they worship and who urges
them to revolt against Dlaz as tho only
means Of salvation. IL Is estimated that
there are nearly 300 Indians IN the strong
hold and as many in the surrounding
mountains. There Ia no conceallng the
fact that the outbreak is viewed with
alarm by the general and state govern
ments.
Tho Officinl newspaper or the city OF
chihuahua comedies the fact, and more
that coo Mexican troops, under COM
mand of General Jose Rangil, will march
TO the scene OF trouble just rs soon as
the mountain roads are passable, and
endeavor to crush the rebellion. The
Ya0uis have determined upon early spring
as the time for the outbreak and are con-
centrating forces and providing supplies
toward that end. The Yaqm reyolts in
Mexico heretofore have been very dlsas-
trous. More than 200 ignorant Mexicans
are reported to have Joined the rebel
NanuIs.
