A. the movement Of the new crop
was well under way by January Land
a. the crop OF Burnley is thought to
have been fully rs large IA that OF last
year. with even larger crop OF dark
tobacco, the question which naturally
suggests itself is. why should receipts
show such "a large decreaseg The re-
ceip,s at these several points last year
for the period mentioned showed an
increasi over the previous year Of only
GS6s hogsheads, so . phenomenal run
Of receipts the first three months OF
1908 esnno, be held responsible. As
IA matter Of fact. the receipts in all
these markets for the frs. quarter Of
1904 are 30, 92i hosshesds under the
lowest record in Ave years.
Stocks In the markets mentioned,
and i'm ell the markets OF the United
States, are also lower than they have
been in years. For the markets men.
toned they are 27,2i9 hogsheads un.
der what they were at the correspond
ing period last year and 1910 hogs
heads less than at any similar period
in FIVE years.
One explanation is probably found
in the fact that the Continental has
extended its facilities and Is purchas-
ing large quantities Of tobacco direct
from the farmers. Nor are any rec
ords obiainablo as the amount they
purchase in this way. 20 that the size
Of the crop, and the position Of the
trust in the market, is largely mat

will possibly apply with equal foroo
with respect TO the Imperial Tobacco
Company.

Weeks and Stop over

DEPENDS ON STAGE OF RIVER.

The gunboat Nashville and destroy
er Lawrence, which left Pensacola,
Fla, Tuesday on their way 10 st.
Louis, reached New Orleans yesterday
and after coaliDg left the Crescent
City today on the long trip up the
Mississippi.
The vessels travel only in the day
time, and will probably make a num-
Der OF stops on their way up.
As stated in dispatches in the Sun
day before yesterday, the government
has given permission to the captains
Of the vessels to take them as far up
the Ohio as Evansville, Ind. and this
will bring them by Paducah. It Is
therefore an assured fact that they
will come here, provided the stage of
water is favorable. It may be too
high or too low, but Iriver men think
that by the latte- part of the month,
when the vessels are due, there will
be q suitable stage Of water. II the
river is too high the boats cannot pass
under the bridge at Cairo
When the date Of arrival becomes
known it is likely preparations will
be made here to properly welcome the
representatives Of our navy, and to
take care of the thousands Of people
who are expected to come to the city
to get look at real war vessels. The
Nashville is much larger than the
Arkansas, which was here two years
ago.

This is the gladdest month Of the

month for all those who believe in the
Christian religion We have other hOli-

times Of the year and are properly cele-
brated but there are none for which such
preparations are made for Christmas.
1t is the one holiday of all the year
which is gift day. Weeks before.
everyone is thinking about presents for
friends and relatives.
Children look forward to the Christ
mas tree for weeks. They never tire
of specializing on what Santa Claus
will bring them. How eagerly they
inspect their stockings on Christmas
morning. Allof these pleasant customs
should be encouraged. They help to
make life brighter for the children, who
will soon enough encounter trials and
troubles. Let them have all the pleas
ure they can, out of the Christmas
festivals.

Xmas for the Children.

It's n great privilege to bring happl-
ness to children at Christmas time, and
it is such a simple thing if we only un-
derstand them; it does not lie in expen-
sive presents, but in what we do for
them and what we are to them. They
are happy with simple presents and en-
tertainment if they have our sympathy,
our corpanionship and hearty cooper
alton in the things in which they are
interested.
If you'll devote to children
This one day Of the year,
Reach out your hand to do good
And to dry up every tear,
You'll find that earth and heaven
Are closely side by side;
You'll lind its true that you can do
Much in the world SO wide.
