AUBURN PREPARED
CONFIDENT SHE WILL DOWN GEOR-

With One of the Best Teams in tier History She Expects to End SeasOu
 in Blaze of
 GIOrY.

With incessant work that only ceases when darkness makes further work impos- sible. Auburn is busily preparing for her annual Thanksgiving game against Georgia. Confident of victory. but in no way under. estimating the strength and proweas of her ancient rival. Auburn Is leaving no stone unturnsd so that. aEain may De heard that vtIStorleus eTy which vas pealed forth so sswanse ena Tech had been hpmbled in the
 New combinations are tried and new for several positions even at this late hour that 1t would be impossible to tell just what. line up Auburn will put forth on Thanksgiving Day Undoubtedly number of players will be used NIn the game as there is so little difference between many of the men that are trying for the same po- sitions With the exception of EsslingeT, the men are all in fair physical condition, Esslingers rounding Into shape to take part in the Thanksgiving game is somewhat doubtful. Bonner, however, Is back in the place at right tackle.
 Wynne. who was in poor shape in the Tech game will be much better in the Georgia game. Locke is also beinR tried in the back field where his weight promises to be of considerable help. Hardage and Penton are. playing the game of their lives. while Reynolds and Hill are holding down the ends of the line in good shape. Big" Davis will very likely be at tackle against Georgia, a. position against which there won't be much doing. Beaver, who did for. guards there are Motley, Allen, Cogdel Gauntt, all good men. Capt. Mcclure will hold down quarter and In addition to those already mentioned will have ,Sparkman. Herren. Davis. Harris, and Hubbard to ad- vance the ball.
 Auburn is' planning to have her Thanks- giving game the best of the year. and fln- fish off a successful season in an 'pprO- prtate way.

REVIEW OF TRADE
WEEKLY SUMMARY BY R. G. DUN
 AND COMPANY.
Gains Are Universal In All Sections of the Country and Manufacturers Are Hopeful of the
 Future.

New York, Nov. 20-R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Gains are now almost universal. each week surpassing it's predecessor in volume of trade, while manufacturing plants increase active capacity, and confidence Is finding expression in ex- tensive plans for the future.
 At many points, seasonable weather has stimulated demand for winter goods, and there Is a gratifying change for the better in regard to the prompt ness of collections. Some sections are temperature continues too high or on account of failure to market crops promptly. Frequent evidences of de- pleted stocks in the hands of dealers are noted, especially when shipping de- partinents work over time in order to make sufficiently prompt deliveries.
 Moderate advances in prices of pig iron and coke indicate the trend of con- ditions in the steel industry. Bessemer pig has risen to s16 at valley furnaces, which is still s4 below the position at this time last year. One of the best features is the disposition to con 1909 although somewhat better terms are asked on these forward deliveries than for spot or early shipment.
 Thus far there is little inquiry for standard steel rails, although the mills expect to close the year with some good orders on hand. Further inr provement Is recorded in the primary market for textiles, sales increasing and prices hardening.
 On the normal basis of supply and demand, it is becoming possible to Jus tify moderate advances in quotations because production has been curtailed so long that deliveries are hard to ob. tain. Export trade has been benefited by a substantial sale of standard drills to India at 3-4c, the same price that has prevailed for some time.
 Mems wear agents report a good de- mand for heavy weight woolens for i'm mediate delivery. indicating the healthy depletion of stocks that was anticipat- ed.
 It is evident that scarcity of wool ems and worsteds will become more of a futur6 as the season progresses.
 Shoe manufacturers exhibit much confidence by anticipating future needs, operating freely in the leather mar ket. Demand for spring shoes Is well maintained. Local jobbing trade eE- pands. although holiday goods are not yet taken to any extent. All grades O4 leather have advanced this week from one per cent per pound for sole to three cents in beltin gbutts.
 The belting manufacturers' meeting on Tuesday agreed on an advance of ten per cent in prices of all finished belts. Hides are also stronger, but the upward tendency of packer stock may be checked by the increasing receipts of cattle.

BRADsTRERT,s REVIEW.

Enlargement and Expansion of Trade
 Are Shown.
 New York, Nov. 20-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Enlargement and expansion are still the dominating influences in trade and industry. and the volume of sales and of orders booked by wholesalers and manufacturers continues to show gains. narticuIarly in the commercial and manufacturing centers of the North. East and West.
 Still, certain evidences of irregular ity are found in the reports that milo weather Is restricting sales of winter goods at retail in the above sections. and Southern adVices are that improve ment in that section is rather slower than expected and that low cotton producers are checking trade and col lections.
 Idle cars are reported growing few CT in number rapidly. Heavier buying Lake markets are more active, but Pittsburg reports transactions smaller. Prices are higher
 There is more doing in leather. and shoes are in better inquiry from man. ufacturers, though affected by mild weather at retail. Leather is higher
 Crude rubber this week sold at the highest price ever known. but specula- tions is claimed partially responsible
 Lumber is quieter and flour Is less in demand for exports.
 In wholesale and tobbing lines Northwest, East and West, reports are generally that trade is expanding, that spring purchases are increasing and that stocks in final distributors hands are light.
 Cotton goods are growing in demand and prices are being advanced. Fall River print cloth mills are sold up to January 1, and cotton yarns and mems wear wooleHs were in better sale. Clothing trade reports are irregular because of weather conditions.
 The beginning of the tarin hearings in Washington brings to the attention
