resources to the utmost and kept down supplies of cash and credit for specula- tion. There has been more or less manipulation of specialties but no real buying movement of securities. Some signs of actual revival have been ob- servable in the bond market and the floating supply of high class issues Is gradually diminishing. Bonds with speculating element in them are still in large supply on a basis of 5k to 614 per cent, but in time these will be talk en care of. There is continuous slow ab- sorption of many of the standard divi- dend-paying stocks of railroads and some of the very best of the industrials. Speculative fervor Is harshly repressed except where groups are strong enough to play their specialties with their own money. The short sellers have much the best of it as they are not put to the necessity of raising large sums of money. The market is consequently oversold and the black horse cavalry Is necessarily attacking the weak spots. American Sugar serves as an illustra- tion. The death of MT. Havemeyer was a signal for the raiders to get busy and ever since the great Sugar King breath ed his last a bear camapign has been waged. It does not appear that there has been very much selling of real stock by real stockh olders, but the trading has been given as much the appearance of liquidation as possible. The actual sellers have been bears, leader among whom is the redoubtable Jakey Field, an active and aggressive room trader. Investment selling" of that sort, if carried on far enough and on a large enough scale. oftentimes produces disastrous effects and dis lodges holdings of sure enough inves- tors.
 From the west and south word comes that the banks in those sections are al- most all in shape to resume full cash pawmen and that they only await the word from New York. Here the situa- ton is disappointing. It Is unques- tionably better but not nearly as rapid ly as might be desired. The drain upon the balances in New York for the count of outside banks and depositors is perceptibly slowing up and by the middle of January matters should be- gin to approach the normal. Ameri- can banking resources have been tre- mendously fortified since the second week of the panic. q ~
 There has been an infusion of more than $100, 900, 900 of foreign gold, near ly S60, 900, ,0O0 in new national bank note currency, about $75 100000 in govern ment deposits and at least $100, 900 in emergency clearing house certih- cates. fn New York and most other cities the clearing house currency is being reduced and will soon be can celed altogether. In New York the reserve deficit which at one time was nearly 6O,0000 has been cut down to approximately $40.000,000. Deposits are increasing and the great sums which were hoarded are coming out again and finding their way back into circulation
 By the end of the year, premium on currency will probably entirely disap- pear. The outlook for trade and in- dustries is not as good as in the finan- cial field. It is from that quarter that

Property Stolen In Birminuham.

A negro named Joe Lewis was arrested by Officer John Wren who had in his possession number of pieces of ladies wearing apparel, set of furs, several pocketbooks and numerous other articles. The officer noticed large fur muff part ly concealed beneath the negros coat, and failing to get a satisfactory explan- alton how he came in possession of the goods, he was locked up. At the police court this morning the goods were identi- fled by Detective Jack Mcdonald of Bir- mingham as a part of the goods stolen from the Louisville and Nashville depot at Birmingham. Lewis claimed to have re- eeived them from friend and denies any knowledge of the burglary. It is be- lieved, however, that he belongs to an or- ganized gang and that by means of his testimony they will be run to earth

 More Is being heard daily and hourly of prospective decreased dividends in the industrals. Already homogeneous arc getting themselves In shape to explain why those attractive surpluses and re- serves are not in cash or quick assets. So long as the markets were on the rise and everything was lovely, these bookkeeping attractions were very useful to buoy up the hopes of stockholders and to attract investors. Now that the time has ar rived when stockholders want their divi- dends kept up, the arrangements find 1t impossible to convert these lovely book keeping decorations into bank balances available for dividend distribution. Hence the necessity for explaining that much of the capital represented in surpluses and reserves has gone into betterments. n- provements, plants, etc. The necessity of such disclosures is most humliating. The process of house cleaning and reson- struction could not well be complete, how ever, without 1t.
 Speaking of sugar, nobody appears to know much about the affairs of Ameri- can Sugar Refining. Mir Havemeyer con ducted the great corporation. of which ne was the head, as though 1t belonged to himself personally. He went on the as- sumption that the owners of the stock were satisfied to have him run their busl- ness without consulting them without enlightening them to what he was do- ing, and that so long as they got their dividends they really had no right to in- quire further.
 Now that he has gone, 1t is taken for granted that those who succeed him will be obliged to take the world into their confidence, and that there will be a show ing of assets. What such a showing will reveal is an entirely unknown quantity. There may be BIO of capital value for every dollar of capitalization. or 10 cents. Not 10 men out of the thousands of stock- holders have the faintest idea what the facts are.
 The corporation is supposed to have very heavy working capital and an im- mense cash balance next in rank to Standard oil and the Steel trust Maybe 1t has and maybe 1t hasn't A suspicion that 1t hasn't has supplied the bear con tingent with the ammunition to put the price down 20 points.

Southern Steel Plant Closes.

SoothS'H SlSci FIdHt OIoScS.
 The Southern Steel company's plant at this place was shut down indefinitely to- day and the employees paid off in part. Just what disposition will be made of the property, of course, cannot be ascertaIned at this time. The rod mill covers about H acres of ground and is very valuable.
 The employees were only paid one-half of the wages due them from work done in November and nothing for December This has caused much dissatisfaction, as the men were led to believe if they stayed at work their wages would be a preferred claim, and that they would be paid in full; in fact, notice to that effect was posted throughout the mill. Being lad off and not receiving their pay puts most of them at a great disadvantage as many of them will be compelled to leave the district for future employment.

NAIL MILL CLOSES DOWN

Ensley, December 21.-(Special. )-United States Senator John H. Bankhead was op erated on yesterday at the Cunningham hospital by Dr. R. M Cunningham. The operation consisted of lancing the left shoulder to remove pus formed by small abcess, the result of his recent severe ill., ness. The distinguished patient is doing nicely and was allowed to sit up all day, though he was not allowed to receive visitors. He is in the best of humor and will return to his home at Fayette as soon as he is sufficiently recovered to do so. He was in the city some time before the fact of his presence became known. Much surprise was expressed when it was learned that he was in the city. The hos- pital authorities have been kept busy an- swering inquiries about the senator's con- dition, and many friends called to see him but were not permitted to do so. Early when asked as to the senator's condition, gave out the following statement:
 Senator Bankhead, as is well known, had an attack of croupous pneumonia a few weeks ago, from which he Is not fully recovered. On the sixth day of the attack he had pain and some soreness in the left shoulder. This has been under treatment Since. There is really no ne- cessity for his being in the hospital, but he is here as much my guest as my pa- tient. He is doing we'll.
 ''R. M. CUNNINGHAM"
 At late hour tonight he was reported to be doing as well as could be expected.

HAITIAN To INSPECT HIs
HOLDINGS.

W. II. Routledge, formerly OF Ton.
opah and now of Sacramento. return
ed yesterday from Manhattan. where
he and his associates are interested
In number of properties. Mr.. Rout-
ledge has not been ih Manhattan for
several months, and was surprised al
the improvements which have taken
place in his absence.
Il have always maintained that
Manhattan was a wonderful camp"
said he; but the appearance of 4
today is away beyond my expecta-
tons. Think of mills in Manhattan,
something for which we were long
praying, and now there are two of
them in actual operation and a third
nearly ready to start up. 1t is esii-
mated that the Chapman mill will be
in operation by the first of the year.
The properties in the camp are
looking good too, and the amount of
work that is going on at this time is
"ui "a loiio' A@NCi suOuy is uOluS HIS
assessment work; nobody is taking
any chances on losing his property,
and the amount of leasing that is
going on in the camp is a caution.
AS matter of fact, the camp is look
ing fine from every standpoint, and
there is no doubt in my mind that
the camp is going to be one of the
greatest camps in the State. 1t has
all the earmarks of it, and the devel-
opments every day are proving the
promises of the early days. When
the financial stringency has loosened
up and capital is again seeking in
vestment, just keep your eye on Man
haitian. Before the end of next year
you will see many more mills in the
camp, and there will be all kinds of
ore being crushed and the mills will
have more than they can do to handle
the output of the mines
Mr.. Routledge will leave for Sac
ramento today or tomorrow, and will
be accompanied by George S. Hop
kins, who has charge of the proper
ties being operated by Routledge anl
his associates.
