SECRETARY HAY
 WILL NOT RESIGN
HE WILL REMAIN IN THE CABINET INDEFINITELY AND THIS IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRES DENTS WISHES.

Washington, December 2O-In view of the repeated publications of late to the general effect that Secretary Hay is about to retire from the Cabinet, a-state- ment is given with full authority touch ing this subject. substantially to the ef- feet that Secretary Hay does not now contemplate retirem ent from the Cabinet. This statement applies not only to the present moment. but to that indefinate period fixed by the conclusion of the negotiations necessary to the construc- ton of the Isthmian canal. It Is stated with equal positiveness and authority that President Roosevelt has, in the strongest terms, expressed to Secretary Hay his earnest desire that he shall re- main in the Cabinet, of which he forms one of the official props. Thus the Sec retary's inclinations and the Presidents desire run together and there is no foun- dation to the reports to the effect that Secretary Hay is to leave his post.

HOLIDAY TRADE REACHES MAXIMUM Nearly All Section of Country

PIG IRON SCORES ADVANCE

New York December 2o.-R. G. Dun
 & Co.'S. weekly review of trade tomor-
 row will say:
 Holiday trade reached its maximum
 this week, nearly all sections of the
 country reporting exceptional distribution
 but general merchandise was not far be-
 hind in activity. Transporting inter
 ests were just beginning to overcome con-
 gested conditions when severe storms
 made the situation more complicated than
 before. In many industries it Is not
 question of finding buyers, but securing
 the privilege of postponing deliveries. Retarded shipments caused higher prices for prompt delivery of pig iron and steel products at western cities, but
 conservatism still marks the course of
 producers regarding contracts for the fu-
 ture. Weather conditions are responsible
 for the slower movement of pipe in which l concessions are secure. Pig iron has ris- en slightly on account of the short fuel supply and injury to furnaces by the storm. Despite the present unparalleled demand prices are B per cent lower than during the imitation of 1900, indicating the | better basis on which the market is now l established General reductions occurr- l ed during the past week in minor metals, 1 copper now being quoted at 13; tin 2S1s | and lead cents. Buyers are looking for still better terms.
 Leather Prices Firm.
 Footwear shops continue busy. Firm prices prevail and specialties command | premiumus There is no accumulation of 1 leather and prices decidedly firm. In 1 the textile industries new lines of wool l en goods opened satisfactory, some being | almost immediately withdrawn owing to | the business secured. Advances are paid l for certain lines of worsted In cotton | goods there is much business offered but I sellers are unwilling to accept large con tracts for future delivery while the raw | material market remains unsettled. Print | cloths are unchanged for regulars with I narrow odds firm and cotton yarns gener- | ally higher. Last week gains in these l lines are fully maintained. In the grain market wheat has held fairly steady at some reaction from last weeks exception ally high point and there is still much l evidence of firm undertone. Severe | weather stimulated the western demand | for live stock feeding and also interrupt l ed receipts, which were only 446S.659
 bushels against 6742.94S in the preceding week and 46S4.65s bushels against G. l 74204s in the, preceding week and 4,- | 802. .779 a year ago. Heretofore this season l there has been a large gain in comparison l with the corresponding period of 1900. l High prices have at last affected the | export movement and instead of the l usual splendid gain over last year, there l was an outgo of only 3,646.SlS bushels from | the United States, flour included, against | 4, 4,3S0, 300.
 Corn We'll Sustained.
 l Corn is also well sustained Western re- | ceipts for the week reaching only 2,519, =

s51 bushels, against 5,S71,s0 a year ago. Atlantic exports of 211.214 bushels, against 4747169 a year ago, indicate the foreign attitude. toward current quotations. Cot ton is little changed, at about 9 cents be- low the price of a year ago. Either last years price was too high or the pres ent figure is too low. Mill conditions, both here and abroad, indicate good con- sumptive demand, and the size of port receipts during the next few weeks should decide the question of prices, all though there is always the possibility of delayed shipments by planters. If the official estimate of the current crop was approximately accurate present prices are cheap.
 Failures for the week number 2S5 in the United States, against 293 last year, and 27 in Canada, against IS last year.

eRApsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, December 20-Bradstreets Review will say tomorrow:
 Retail trade has held the center of the stage this week. stimulated by exception ally cold weather and rather more pro- nounced holiday demand which promises to be of record-breaking character as to volume and quality and grade of goods. While jobbers in many lines. notably in shoes and rubber goods. report recorder business growing out of the above con ditions. wholesale trade, as a rule, has been reasonable in inquiry. expressions of this being noted in woolen goods, raw wool, lumber, leather, coal. iron and steel in myrad of forms. The spectacular feature of the week in prieesf has been the continued marking down of copper and sympathetically herewith the drop in tin and lead.
 Slow but steady increases in the price of pig iron are proof of heavy buying go- ing on in the cruder form which vie with the active call for bears, sheets, plates rails and structural material among fin- ished products.
 Buyers Still Eager.
 Despite the record-breaking production buyers are still eager and the familiar car shortage cry is heard most loudly in this trade. Nothing is heard of the usual conservative waiting for the New Year B arrival to place business, and order books of leading producers are filled for long periods ahead. Hardware is in good de- mand at most markets.
 Foreign cotton speculators are appar- ently getting their second wind after the surprise given them by the government estimates. Liverpool estimaters claim a 0f al oiyac ho 9,674,o00 bales indicated, and prices are now on a dead center awaiting new im- pulse. Receipts at the south are impeded by cold weather, but the reports of a short yield are so numerous at present as to back up the smaller estimates. The higher range of value has induced a mod eration of consumption estimates, but these are still 100000 bales in excess of the estimated outturn Actual cotton is still nearly half cent above near fu- lures. Cotton is 11ac below a year ago, while print cloths are only 1c off
 Cereals Rally.
 In speculative staples the cereals have held a portion of the rally from the low prices struck last week. Wheat has eased a little of liquidation: absence of bull support and fairly large receipts. Visible supplies are now larger than year ago, uut lne export ueIIldnu IS a nItle Ireer. Corn and oats have sympathized with price movements within narrow limits. Provisions are irregular with pork slight ly higher and lard lower than a week ago.
 Corn exports aggregate 300 bushels against 27s,307 last week and 5,46557S last year. July 1 to date corn exports are 20,126179 bushels against Ss, 1G7.2S9 last sea- son.
 Tales of rate-cutting at the west con- trast strangely with reports of car short age, and incidentally returns of earnings, which show fifty roads earned per cent more in the first week of December this year than they did last while for the sec- ond week 42 roads show a gain of $500, 900 over the middle week of December, 1900.
 Business failures in the United States for the week number 2S6 against 23S last week, 262 in this, week last year, 211 in 1899, PIP in 1898 and 2So in s1S97

and debauchery have been formed by
Mr.. Whitaker in the interest of his
own campaign to the corruption of
the public morals.
The intention is to steal the nom
nation and force himself upon the
democratic party.
His treatment of Capt, Donaldson
is worse than the "seducer of an in
nocent girl"
A more cowardly act and one de-
serving more severe condemnation
has never been brought to our at
tention.
We submit that in view of his
record, that our people and their
lives, liberty, and property are un-
safe in his hands. His defeat is
the salvation of this district, and we
as laboring men organized for our
mutual protection against trusts,
combines, and all known kinds of
industrial oppression, should, and
we feel sure we will, be as one man
against such unworthy men tor Of
flee. We call on union labor in all
four of the counties in this judicial
circuit to join in with us in the pro-
lection of our children, life, liberty,
and the pursuit OF happiness.
We, as organized labor of Whit
well, do appeal to the laboring men
of Sequatchie county to assist us in
suppressing this outrage against our
people.
Organized labor will never be
from under the hand of oppression
as long as such schemes and combin-
atoms are allowed to control our ju-
dicial circuit. So let every laboring
man not fail to rise up and fight this
scheme to a finish.
