 Whereas, 1t is unwise, if not actually dangerous to the welfare of the state for the legislature to enact any laws at this time which may tend to in crease existing disastrous conditions; 4 Be 1t resolved by the Commercial Club and the business men of Mont gomery. that we earnestly and urgent iy call upon and appeal to the wise. conservative and patriotic members of the legislature to rise to their high privilege and duty as the representa- tives of the people of restoring con ditfons of peace, happiness and pros- perity, and to postpone all. legislation until the present crisis in the business world has passed.
 Mir. Glass disagreed with MT. Ball on the necessity of immediate action. He did not believe that he legislature would hurry matters through to such an extent that a mass meeting would be necessary Monday night and he sug- gested Wednesday noon. l.
 On motion of Mfr. Chambers it was finally decided to hold the meeting Tuesday noon and the executive com mittee was instructed to send out the telegrams immediately

Sharp of Chattanoga. col lector of the seven divisions. each In charge of a division deputy collector instead of eleven, as at present, which will afford ample force to handle the internal revenue work in connection with the field force of internal revenue agents.

STOCKS SHOW ADVANCEMENT Financial Situation Is
 Improving. FURTHER IMPORTS OF GOLD New York Banks Statement Was
 Very Favorable. Arrangements of Gold show an Unpre- cedented Acquisition of Yellow
 Metal in History of New
 Yorik's Finances.

New York, Nov. 9.-The financial situation made further progress to- day toward the resumption of normal conditions.
 Gold was engaged to bring the to- tai for this movement up to more than $50, 0,00e,000. an unprecedented acquisi- tion of the yellow metal in the history of New York's finances. The bank statement was more favorable than had been expected showing a loss of but $4,3fS.0o9 in the banks cash hold fngs and the stock market was firm. the most active shares showing ad- vances on the days trading.
 The bank statement does not show the full benefits of the gold received from London as the statement Is not calculated on a basis Of averages for each day of the week and the greater part of the gold was received late in the week. Thus a statement of the condition of the banks at the close of business today would show their cash supplies to be much larger than under the average system of computations,
 Next week there will be more arriv- als of gold, and all that received this week will figure for the full week. so that next weeks statement is expect ed to show large gains in reserve. , While the deficit in the reserve is $751;. 000. .00U, it should be noted that the cash on hand is still 20 per cent. of all de- posits, including those made by the Government and which are secured sy collateral. This is per cent. less than required by the z5 per cent. rule. but is is per cent. more than the local in- stitutions are called on to maintain, un- der the State banking laws. Notable advances were made by shares in the stock market during the week. today's final sales showing higher prices as follows:
