Holiday trade in many lines also shows effects of early buy
 "The practical lifting of the last of the Southern quarantines is helping Southern trade, as Is also the higher price of cotton, which is loosening up awaited materiaiiZing of European de- mand for our breadstuffs is apparently now at hand. Business in this line. it is claimed, is now limited only by yes sel capacity Higher prices for nearly all products have helped the demand in agricultural districts and to cer- tain extent improved collections.
 Industry retains the lively appear ance noted for rome time past. In rail- way lines the efforts making to handle tie immense business offering are such as were never put forth before. Bank clearings though comparing with very large totals year ago, show expansions. Taken as a whole the situation is one which finds no pre-. cedent for this season of the year and stocks Is being held upon the need of conservatism if runaway markets are to De avoided.
 "Features deserving note in the iron and steel trade this. week are the very liberal orders placed for cars and other rolling stock, which have been covered by sales of bars, billets and crude pig iron.

by Maksoud of Kashan, fact which together with a pious mAxim-is re- corded in words which are woven into the texture of the carpet itself.
 Two other magnificent carpets were four years ago sold at the Municipal Chamber Convent at St. Antonio, to which they had been given by the In fanta Donna Sanche In 1900. For these carpets, which are of Persian manufac- ture, IS feet square and embroidered with gold, the bidding was very brisk. Starting at fsSS it rapidly rose to to fl,70S, at which price the prize, at fl ,000 below it's real value, was se- cured by Frenchman. Public opin- ion, however. was so greatly against the sale that two other equally val uable carpets, the property of the Es- trella Convent, were withdrawn.
 A curious carpet has lately been been manufactured at Caesarea. It is rep resentation of the battle of Trafalgar, depicting that moment in the engage ment when Nelson received his fatal wound. The carpet. which Is entirely of silk, is feet by feet, and took two girls fourteen months to weave it. It was sold for f4O0. Another historical event the recapture of Buda from the Turks. in 16S6, was the subject of carpet manufactured at the Beauvais factory, established in 1864, for Mime. de Maintenon, wife of Louis XIV.
 Some of the carpets in the posses sion of Eastern potentates are of simi- lar magnificence and value. In the great exhibition of 1851 elaborate Cashmere carpet was shown by the Maharajah Goolab Singh. It was com posed entirely of silk. and every square foot contained no fewer than 10000 knots.

 The palatial hall of the Goldsmiths Company, in Foster Lane, contains three costly carpets made at the 1ac- tory at Wilton, near Salisbury. The largest, which Is in the court drawing room, and measures 40 feet 2 inches by 26 feet g inches Is of rich crlm- son surrounding a center. 10 feet by 2 feet, consisting of the company's arms in their heraldic coloring of blue, green red and purple upon a white ground, and inclosed in border of festooned roses with medallions at each corner In setting the pile of this carpet, over :. 500 900 knots were, it is said. used.
 Another company, that of the Gird- lers, possesses a carpet in which his toric interest is probably unique. It was manufactured in the reign of Charles l. at the factory Akbar the Great at Lahore, to the order of Robert Bell, who in 1884 was the master of the company The carpet. which is with the company,s crest and arms and two bales of merchandise on which are his initials and trade mark.
 At the time of the Great Fire this carpet was saved from destruction only to fall upon Gothic age that regarded it as mere floor covering, and year by year it grew more dirty and dilapi- dated. From this scandalous neglect it was rescued q few years since by some members of the court more dis- eliminating than the majority. and ar ter a thorough renovation was placed In a finely carved oak frame and hung above the high table.
 The prayer carpet on view at South Kensington is q splendid specimen. Measuring some B feet by 20 feet, it was purchased at cost of f2.500 chiefly through the instrumentality of the late William Morris. the poet, who, with other gentlemen. gave hand some subscription for that purpose. It came originally from the mosque at Ardebil. for which it was made in the year 946 of the Hegria A. D. 154O)

TRIAL WILL BE HAD
EXAMINER MOXEY MAKES A sIG-
 NIFICAA STATEMENT.
Apparent There Was Manipulation of the Affairs of the Allegheny Enterprise Bank, Now
 Defunct.

Pittsburg, Oct. 27.-From statement made by E. F. Moxey, special examiner for the Federal authorities in the En- terprise Bank failure, it is believed that it will be some time before the banks condition Is known. When seen this afternoon Mir. Moxey said:
 You need not call around for thirty days. We shall be busy for that time and nothing will be given out to any newspaper"
 Pressed for something definite con cerning the banks condition, MT. MoxeS made a rather significant statement.
 T cannot tell you anything" he said, but it will all come out at the trial /"
 Asked to what trial he had refer ence to, he would make no answer.
 The first suit in court against the Enterprise National Bank growing out of the failure of that institution was brought in common pleas court No. 3 this afternoon and directly charges T . Lee Clark, the cashier who committed suicide with feloniously taking and hypothecating a valuable certificate of stock pledged as security for sloan.
 A strange feature is brought in this suit, namely, that the certificate in question was pledged with the bank as collateral twenty-seven years ago tody of the bank ever since as secur- ity for a loan.
 Formal notice was sent out today to the depositors of thc Enterprise Bank to bring their books to the bank for examination. Judge Oldham intimated that the possibility of Clark's receiving money which was never entered in the banks book could only be authenticated by this sy stem of comparison.

QUARANTINE MODIFIED
HAy LIFTED FROM MISSISSIPPI AND
 FLORIDA COUNTIES.
nr sander. is Gradually Relieving FormerIy Infected Points from Espionaxe Placed on Them
 Nv Alabama.

The territory in Mississippi uhuer South Alabama quarantine was duced to nine counties yesterday oy an other proclamation of Governor 'e.Ss who lifted the ban on elgnt oi nn seventeen counties which have peeh barred by this State. The prociama- tion. or rather the amendment Of the original proclamation putting all h Mississippi and Florida under qualah tine also relieved Walton County.
 Florida, yesterday.
 This action, which was on reconl- mendation of State Health omcer Fl. Sanders, leaves just two countes in Florida under quarantine. They are Escambia and Santa Rosa. It was thought to be wise enough to assume the small risk from the Pensacola ih- lection that will result from opening up communication with Walton Coun- lty.
 quarantine of Alabama in Mississippi are Jackson, Harrison. Hancock. War ren. Adams, Jefferson, Cleburne. Will kerson and Franklin. Those yesterday relieved are Hinds, Copiah. Lincoln. Lawrence, Amite, Pike, Marion, Pearl River. State Health offcer Sanders returned yesterday from Mobile and decided to make the recommendations for modify ing the quarantine restrictions. The total territory that now remains un- der the State quarantine consists or Louisiana, nine Mississippi and two Florida counties.
 It is interesting to note just here how considerable the territory origi- nally under Alabama's ban has been decreased from time to time. At the height of the exposure Alabama stood, there were under her quarantine all Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. or this there now remains only Louisiana and very small fractions of the other two States. It would seem that State Health Off, ficer Sanders in exercising his vigi- lance over Alabama has proceeded very guardedly having as much respect for
 outside points as was consistent with reasonable protection of this State. Once he quarantined only New Or
 leans. Then he stretched it to the
 coast towns of the Gulf along the line
 of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
 road. Next it was decided to put all
 Louisiana under the ban. Later it de-
 veloped that the fever had spread to
 inland towns in Mississippi. These
 were quarantined.
 Very soon after, Pensacola's infec-
 ton was discovered That city, the
 County 1t is in. two or three adjacent
 counties and finally the whole State
 ton became more promiscuous and
 that State was cut off entirely from
 Alabamas communication except
 through the rule of seven days deten-
 ton outside it's borders Then began
 the chipping of of territory, little by
 little, until now only the Southern half
 of Alabama Is closed against the ter
 ritory designated. And it Is predicted
 that it will be but shortly when the dead line of Alabama will be readjust-
 ed in favor of points under quarantine.

TRADE OF SOUTH AMERICA.

 New York, Oct. 27.-"The United States is facing critical epoch. The next five years will determine wheth- CT this country or Europe is to be the dominant force in South America.
