PRESENT DAY FICTION WANING

To long suffering public which
has been afflicted with the historical
novel and the novel which was nol
historical. the good news has come
that the publication of fiction will be
eliminated at least by one publisher.
The people seem to be wearying of
the best sellers and of the 'steenth
thousand edition
This state of affairs is most credi-
table to the American people. For
awhile the dissipation was so fearful
that hopes of SOLDERING up did not APP
pear fattering. New books were
flung on the market in quick success
sion, and the minds which were sat
urated with such stuff already, snap
ped them up Public libraries work
ed overtime to provide their senti-
mental patrons with reading matter
while those to whom expense was no
object bought them by the CARLOAD
But now the pendulum has swung
back and publishers are finding that
the noyel-reading public must turn
its attention again to the standard
works of fiction, partly on account
of the worked-out condition of the
field OF the tens of thousands of
books which issued from the pub
fishers mill in the last few years,
those which will be remembered could
be counted on one set Of fingers.
The Saturday Book Review of the
New York Times says:
According to one publisher, who
represents a leading New York house
which has heretofore had a generous
display of excellent and successful
novels on its list, the doomsday of
fiction is at hand This is due, we
are told, not SO much to a change
in the public's literary taste as it is
to a change in the novelists themsel-
yes The latter are quite as numer-
Gus and quite as prolific as they ever
were, but-they have exhausted their
| field "NovelistS never had SO much
to say as they have just now" we are
told, and they have never said it so
duly" In other words, it is claim
ed that the vigOr, the originality has
disappeared from the fiction that is
being offered nowadays to the pub
lishers-at least in this particular
| instance-and, as a consequence, 1t is
predicted that the novel-reading pub
lie will turn it's attention more and
more to the standard works of the
novelists of the last generation. 1t
may be needless to add that the pub

That Famous Letter
(Macon telegraph

macon IeIegraph.)
Our view is that when the letter
was returned to Mr.. Brown unopened
it was no longer Governor Smiths
letter bnt Mr. Browns personal pro
perty, and that neither Governor
Smith nor the public has any claim
on it. With the utmost propriety Mr.
Brown can decline to give it to the
public, if he so elects. He may have
destroyed it, believing that that was
the end of the incident, so far as
the letter was concerned. Governor
Smith had the opportunity of giving
the letter to the public but did not do
so. Neither he nor his friends car
now with propriety call for it. If
Governor Smith had opened it and
given it to the public, as Mr. Brown
probably expected he would do, it
may be Mr. Brown would not now be
the chosen successor to Governor
Smith in office

Joy pervades Atlanta again. The
newspapers have found a former Brit

was private in one of the twenty
regiments which stood at attention
when the Prince of Wales landed in
Quebec in 1901. The Prince was then
merely a Duke, but Atlanta shines in
the luster of his subsequent elevation.
Atlanta has failed to score in num-

ancient history had to be called in

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Dealings Largely Professional Air
 Line Receiyership Felt.

New York. Jan. 2.-Prices moved over quite wide range to-day, but dealings were largely professional and reflected the readiness of the opera tors to turn quickly from one side of the market to another The profes- sional element freely sold at the open ing and then covered later largely be- cause their earlier selling had induced but little liquidation The early de- cline was largely influenced by the news over the holiday of the applca- tion for receivers for the Seaboard Air Line Railway on account of its inability to meet the fixed charges on January l The causes given for the plight of the property, especially the legislative pursuit of railroads in some of the southern states and the strn- gency of the money market, are of such general application to railroads in that territory that they were gen erally responsive to the news. Even more effect was produced on specula- tive sentiment by the reports from Washington. not without official sane ton. that a suit would be actively pushed by the government to force dissolution of the Hartman railroad merger. There has grown up an as sumption in some quarters that a state of truce was to obtain between the government and the great railroad corporations as measure of policy in view of the depression growing out of the financial crisis Intimation of a plan looking to the segregation of Union Pacific investments in the hands of separate company was be- lieved to assure the removal of ob- jections Of the authorities to the pres ent condition. The Hartman railroad stocks, therefore, shared with the southern group in the early depres- sion. The rise in prices which oc- cured toward the close of the year was consistently distrusted by the pro fessionai element, which was inclined to assume to-day that with the pass ing of New Years day the occasion for supporting values would disap- pear, This view was fostered by the general view of conservatism in an- nual financial reviews. The down ward course of railroad earnings also come in for special consideration. In this respect the November statement of Reading showed an exception in tn increase in net earnings over those of last year, and that stock led the recovery in the market. The ac- ton of the money market also gave satisfaction, the early high rate of 20 per cent. yielding steadily in the later dealings. The dwindling premium on gold practically disappeared to-day affording a feeling of relief. Copper rose again at the New York metal ex- change and this was a factor in lift ing the prices of stocks Substantial net gains were shown at the end of l the day.
