WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
SITUATION SUMMARIZED BY
 DUN AND BRADSTREET,
Coll Weather Has Greatly Stimulat- ,I Retail Distribution and
 Quickened the Jobbing De- mand in Seasonable Lines,

New York. Nov. 2o.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: of the country has. greatly stimulated re- tail trade and incidentally quickened job ping demand in reasonable lines. In sOme sections inquiries for. holiday goods of goods taken. S Interior e sn reta.IerS' sIans helped by propitious agricultural condi- s1ons .aas are reported meeting obligations
 Farming interests are apparently in good financial condition. Southern condi- tions are especially good.
 Railway earnings are still good, the in- crease in gross receipts for the first half or November being 1-2 per cent. While the foregoing are the favorable develop ments of the week. the fact must not be overlooked that labor troubles. the gloomy iron and steel mills, blast furnaces and leather tanneries and the continued hes ttancy in the buying of practically of all commodities are factors that mar the in dustrial as well as the commercial fabric It Is a buyers market in iron and steel and kindred products with the general tendency toward a lower price level but purchasers seem disposed to look for fur ther concessions. B,llets are being shaded by independent mills. Plates and struc- tural material are quiet. It appears that reports of large orders of iron and steel the business being in fact of moderate volume. Demand for anthracite coal Is light and mining companies are restrict ,ng production in order to maintain prices The output of bituminous coal Is very heavy. Not much business is being done in wool. Clothing manufacturers have done fair volume of business this fall Buff hides are flrmer, but orders for leather in the leading markets continue of a hand to mouth character. Many shoe factories are taking inventories but some have resumed operation and these report orders of satisfactory volume. WkaAf fnRIIdinO c., At.z week ending. November 19 aggregate g. S4,2T bushels, against. 1,659 .2S3 bushels last week and 5.27.6T2 this week last year. For twenty weeks of the cereal year they aggregate 6lS76,028 bushels, against 1C5,- 257 .326 in 1902.

 Dear Sir-About week since, in clean ing the city of Blank of vagrants, one Jones was drawn in the net and sen. fenced for three months, as well as nned fifty dollars.
 Now Jones vehemehtly swears. as he did then, that he Is a hard-working man, and the best landscape gardnertthis side the saited seas; and, what is more to the purpose. Jones induces Smith and i9t County to corroborate him.

 From all the evidence now before me, l the the % iquor tae sweated out of him he would be likely to return to Blank and go to work: and I think Blank County needs the toll of her citizens more than does issue to Jones, and let him return to the heaven-kissed hills of Blank. and pulver- ize the alluvial soil with the homely grub ping hoe.

 ARE RELEASED.
Governor Frees Randolph County White Man Convicted of Jury Bribery on Statement of
 Trial Officers.

Two convicts. Ben Langley, a white man, and Joe Davis, a negro, were-par- doned yesterday by the Governor.
 Langley was convicted of the unusua. crime of trying to bribe jury. He was convicted in Randolph Counly and given five. years sentence In granting him a pardon. the Governor said that he had served two years of the sentence, sen- tence which was the full limit of the law.

 "A petition" the endorsement of the governor reads, "purporting to represent all his white nelghbors and certainly containing names of some of the best citizens in Lee County, who know the prisoner well and closely and who state that an injustice will be done in flu ther punishfng him for the offense, which, they insist. was not very serious one under the circumstances. Let pardon is- sue to Joe Davis."

 The Curse of Strong Drink.
 Israels poet-king and prodigy of wis. dom sets himself to the task of painting the drunkard's portrait It is a faithful likeness, and horrid because faithful The royal artist persists in his undertaking though his canvas grows lurid and fright full under each successive stroke of the pencil His picture has proved e veritable danger signal. flashing its warning co.or upon successive generations for three thousand years. Its red light has proved a powerful deterrent to muititudes. No where in literature Is the woe, the folly. and the fate of the drnkard so powerfully depicted.
 That such . picture could have been painted thirty centuries ago, sufficiently proves the antiquity of the vice. Drunk enness is no modern sin or mere accident of our present civilization. It Is as old as Noah. and older. Intoxicating liquors un- doubtedly inhamed the race before the Flood and led on to that nameless de- pravity which had to be drowned out in that awful judgment. And each succeed ing generation has suffered the crushing weight of this dreadful woe; each has been burned, bitten and poisoned by this vice: from each has burst the sorrowful and despairing interjections. "oP' '.Alasv'

CHARTER CASE SUBMITTED.
Judge sayre Has MT. Blakey's Point
 Under Consideration.

The mandamus proceedings Of Jesse O'Neal against J. B. Gaston, Probate Judge of Montgomery County, to compel that official to issue him a State license without the payment of a county license. was submitted to Judge A. D. Sayre of the City Court of Montgomery yesterday morning on denlurrers to the bill and without argument
 The demurrer filed by County Tax Com missioner W. M. Blakey sets out that the section of the city charter, which ex- cepts any one. who has paid the city li- censc. from the payment of county = cense. is void on account of the uncon- stitutionality of the city charter. His claims are founded on the ground that tue all bills passed by the Legislature to be signed by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House in the presence of either body, is violated in that the Senate Journal fails to show that the bill granting Montgomery the charter, was signed by the President of the Senate.

Sometimes Help the Hair to Go.
 In any changeable climate the hair is apt to become brittle and to break on stubby here and there. This makes a hair-dressing almost a necessity. espe- cia1ly to ladies. In using a hair dress ng why not get the best, one that combines with it the efficiency in killing the dam druff germ. the germ that eats the hair of at the roots, causing what is called falling hair. and in time badness. New bros 'TIerpicide'' is that kind of a hair dressing. You have no idea how delight- ful your scalp will feel. and how stylish your hair will appear, after an applica- tion or two of Herpicide. It Is certainly a wonderful innovation as a scalp anti septic and hair-dressing. Sold by lead- ing druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co.,. Detroit, Mich. E. G. Fowler.

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

New York. Nov. 20.-R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Labor organizations are accepting re- auctions in wages without controversy which removes one threatening industrial factor and in several branches of busi- ness order are more numerous. but in the steel industry there is little expectation of liberal buying until 1904. Construction work is decreasing despite optimistic re- ports of more building permits issued last month than a year ago. Mild weather still continues and distribution of mer- chandise Is at usual brisk demand.
 There Is not the complaint of traffic congestion that was so frequent last year at thi stime, railway earnings are 61 per cent higher than in November to date than in 1902, testifying to the increase in facilities.
 A week has passed without any further reduction in prices of iron and steel and sentiment in trade favors stability at the present position. Concessions are not readily obtained. especially on distant de- liveries. Much discussion. especially re- duce any alteration and railroads have placed orders for several thousand tons. Meanwhile foreign markets are sought with more persistence. Machinery and far than structural material and other heavy shapes while new shipbuilding plants and machinery for the Panama ca- nal are encouraging features of the fu- ture.
 Minor metals are quiet, aside from some speculative fluctuations at London
 Orders for cotton goods increase grad ually. both for immediate shipment and forward delivery and there is less dis position on part of the purchasers to se- cure concessions in quotations. Trade is by no means active. Export inquiries are more numerous but actual business is small
 woolen goods await the stimulus of lower temperature, meanwhile the tone is not firm.

 The game was marred by frequent and lengthy wrangles but both teams showed knowledge of scientific football.
 In the first half, neither team scored The Tuskege negroes, when time was called, had the ball on their oponents three yard line. In the second half after a long kick off by Tallsdega, the Tuske gee negroes were held for downs on their own fve-yard line and in one buck the Talladega negroes scored the first touch- down.
 Talladega then by repeated bucks. after A tumble had lost Tuskegee the ball near the centre of the field, carried the ball over again and kicked goal.
 The teams seesawed and wrangled about the centre of the field the rest of the game.
