banks. and this may be regarded as a con-
tributing factor toward the fluctuations
noted. STILL it is to be observed that the
decreases in one bank account almost alto
gether for the changes in loans and de-
posits for the week. The international ex-
change situation changed somewhat during
the week and the evident trend of sterling
foreshadowing smaller profits in invest
ments, has lessened buying. The absorp-
ton of large quantities of sterling bills has
contributed directly and indirectly for some
weeks past towards swelling the loans OF
New York banks. The loss of specie for
the week amounted to 100, was due to
operations with the treasury, representing
the balance which the banks owed on set
Elements and deposited for tele-
graphic transfers to the south. The gain
in legal tenders reflects the trend of money
from the interior to this center, although
at the close of the week, 1t was estimated
that the banks had lost nearly, or quite as
much, they gained. The banks are in
creasing their circulation to an appreciate
. extent the new per cent. bonds being
used as a basis. If the statement is to be
regarded as typical of circumstances con-
trolling the money market, the outlook
might be said to favor easy conditions, but
as the close of the year usually creates
demand for funds, to be employer in divi-
dends and settlements it is not impossible
that rates may harden slightly. The con-

last week was selling of American securi-
ties on German account, and this is about
over. When this balance Is to be collected
is uncertain, but the next thirty days viii
show whether loans to Europe are to be
continued, or called for payment.
New York, November 26.-Dry Goods Mar
ket: The weeks transactions in print cloths
have been heavy enough, in spite of the
holidays, to offset the production The lat
Ter was much curtailed during the week,
the banks having shut down being the rea-
son assigned by many mills for closing dur
ing the week Although the representa-
tives of the Fall River advisory committee
are reported to have stated that they had
practically no cloths to sell, still they have
not advanced price son the lines included in
the trust agreed. The general market for
staple cotton goods has been adjusting it,
self to changed conditions during the week.
There has been incessant inquiry for
beached goods consequent on the recent
reductions, but sale shave not quite met the
expectations of sellers in all quarters
Other lines of staple cottons have shown
varied results.

REGULATED PRIMARIES

From the ScottsborO Citizen.
The regulations of primary elections by
law is a reform that is needed, and it is
gratifying to note that bill with this end
in view has been introduced in the general
assembly. Since the primaries of the
demonant party practically decide who are
to be the state and county officers, it is
proper that every safeguard should be le-
gally provided to insure against wrongful
practices. Representative Pettus' bill
seems to cover the case well, and it Is
hoped it will be enacted into law.

Birmingham, November ga firm feel

with prices one to three points higher. Dur
ing early session trading was fairly active.
There was quite narray of factors re-
sponsible for the better feeling, among
which were bullish news from abroad, re-
ports of frmer spot markets in south, a
smaller port movement than anticipated,
and a growing disposition to reduce crop
estimates Covering by shorts was a fea-
ture of early trading. Liverpool connec-
tions had moderate buying orders chiefly
for March and May. Scalpers sided with
the longs contingent for the most part.
Wall street showed increasing interest, and
not few orders came to hand from out

Birmingham November 26.-Today's bank
statement reflected considerable improve
ment in the monetary situation. This fact
strengthened the confidence of bills, al
though the semi-erratic movement of some
specalties invited the bears to operate on
the short side of the market at times to
marked extent. Professionals are paying
more attention to the industrials. Their
refusal to join in general advance has been
conspicuous feature of late. Sugar and
Tobacco have been fairly active but under
continuous pressure. lot much news of

STATE SHOULD NOT DISCRIMINATE

From the Alexander City Outlook. ~.
Alabama can not afford to give its sons
and daughters both a common school and
finished education. Better facilities for
providing means to give them a common
school education is the remedy now. The
state does not owe one town, one county or
one district any more than an other, and
it is not right to discriminate. This Is one
great defect in our present school system.

NEW 1ork, november 26.-TodayS short
session of the stock exchange was long
enough for several uncertainties to develop
and to resolve themselves again, and that
the session on whole continued of the
same irregular and mixed character as
those of the whole week have been. The
strength of Americans on the London mar
ket was not sufficiently pronounced to af-
feet the opening prices here and prices
were below the London parity, even where
gains were shown. 1t was clear enough,
however, that there was good demand for
the st. Louis and San Francisco preferred
stocks and Northern Pacifis recovered part
of yesterdays decline. There was con-
tinued profit taking evident at other points,
and Manhattan suffered a break of 1% on
published denials o'i a Vanderbilt interest,
and Tobacco almost as much on the threat
ened competition in cigarettes. There were
conspicuous fractional recessionS also in
the Baltimore and Ohio stocks, and the
Coalers showed no exhilaration of over
stories that the trade had been fixed. There
was not much encouragement to bear oper-
atoms in such a market and when reports
by cable were received that the Spanish
government had instructed it's commission
ers to sign treaty of peace the market
generally turned upwards and quickly re-
trieved part or all of the earlier declines.

To Suppress Any Evidences of DiseOn- tent or Rebellion Among PopuIace.
SENIOR sAGAsTA ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
But Says It Must Be Honorable Peace Such Spain Deserves The Kingdom Cannot Consent to Useless Sacrifice
 Loss of the Fleet Felt.

Madrid, July 15, a. m-The Official Ga- zette today publishes a royal decree tenn porarily suspending throughout the Span ish peninsula the rights of individuals, as guaranteed by the constitution.
 The decree adds that the government will render an account to parliament of the use it may make of this measure.
 The publication of the decree is generally accepted as being convincing proof that Spain is now ready to sue for peace, and that negotiations to that effect are actual ly in progress
 The government wishes to have full power to suppress any evidences of dis content or rebellion whenever they appear. The Carlists are furious and sure to attempt to create trouble.
 that official overtures for peace will be made before Sunday, and that Spain has drawn up conditions for peace which offer basis for negotiations.
 Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying that Spain wants peace but that 'it must be an honorable peace, as Spain deserves. "Ihe army,' the premier is said to have added, lis anxious to resist to the last, but the government cannot consent to such a use- less sacrifice. Had we our fleet the situa- tion would be very different"

CANNOT ACCEPT
 M'KlNLEl'S TERMS

London July 15.-The Madrid correspon- dent of the Times says: The royal decree temporarily suspending the rights or an- diyiduals as guaranteed by the constitu- tion will probably make a greater impress sion abroad than at home. The Spaniards know well that the decree will not lncon- yenience the quiet and well disposed DOT ton of the population.
 The news of the equalization of Santiago was received too late for comment by the morning papers. It causes disappointment because 1t was hoped that although Generai Toral was in a desperate condition the spread of yellow fever might in few days compel the Americans to raise the siege and retire.
 Regarding the prospects of peace Senor Sagasta, interviewed by representative Of El Correspondencia Militar, is represented as saying:
 Tt Is certain, most certain, that the government has endeavored to ascertain extra officially the disposition or the Wash- ington cabinet respecting a pacific solution but for the moment I can say absolutely nothing because the enemy might wrongly suppose that we desired peace at any price and accordingly show himself more exact ing. have read the proposals cabled to El Imparcial which are supposed to have been communicated. by President Mckin- ley to M Gambon, the French ambassador at Washington. These conditions are so hard that I consider them inadmissible. The government has news of other pro- posals that are much more acceptable"
 In reply to a question as to whether he Intended to remain in office to conclude peace, Sagasta said that such was his in- tention and, he added, respecting the min- isterial crisis, made this statement:
 'I can affirm that it does not officially exist and that there is no danger of It's arising so early as the press indicates"
 The official Gazette publishes memor- andum from the president of the council explanatory of the royal decree suspending the constitutional guarantees and briefly sketching the military situation. It dwells especially upon the fact that the command of the sea is not completely in the hands of the enemy and that the probability is that an American squadron will soon ap- pear on the Spanish coast. The memor- andum draws the conclusion that the time has arrived when the administration should strengthen itself.
