Is very striking and is justly compar-

broader and heavier. The small pin
nae of the fronds are again subdivid-

the feathery effect is very fine and
striking. These miniature fronds keep
growing: hence there is lighter shade
of green at their ends, the main por-
lions showing darker shade, the
whole effect adding greatly to the
beauty of the plant.

pRY GOODS REVTEW.

New York. Dec. 26.--The apprecia- ton in cotton values has stili further hardened the values of cotton goods, but in general prices are still below the parity of raw cotton. Trading in first hands is of very conservative char acter. The movement of goods on advance orders continues large. Job bers have been at work on sir ssIni- annual inventories and during the com ing week they will hold their usual clearance sales.
 The retail holiday trade in the metro poIitan district has been of gratifying character and has released considerable capital which has been tied up in merchandise of this character for two years. It Is expected that this fea- ture will make trading in piece goods better afer the new year opens.
 Staple hosiery for fall has boen opened and some substantial erders have been passed over for the time being.
 Some lines Of cotton underwear lave been sold up for fall or relatively lew prices. Cotton yarns hold quite steady. but trading has been of a limited character, spinners finding difficulty in securing a profitable basis for cen- tract deliveries.

NEWS OF COMING WEEK
SOURCES or DISPATCHES UNDER
 SPELL OF INACTIVITY.
Congress and Courts Are ip Recess, Business Operations Are Partial ly Suspended and Even Me-
 aragua fs Quiet.

The last week of the year finds many of the sources that furnish a regular share of the worlds news un- der the spell of holiday peace and inactivities. Congress and many of the important courts are in recess and business operations are partially sus- pended. Even Nicaragua is quieter than for weeks past, following an overwhelming srevQlutionist victory and the. flight of ZS2aya.
 Interest in the Nicaraguan situation is now divided between Zelaya,a move ments and the efforts of Madriz to unite the warning factions of the re- public. It Is not likely that the revo- lutionlsts will lay aside their arms without great concessions. which may include the deposition of the entire present administration. The next few days probably. will show also wheth- CT Zeiaya will join other iilustrious exiIes from the Latin American re- pubics in Europe. or remain on Amer ican soil in final effort to regain his lost power.
 A gathering of scholars will be a convention feature in New York this week. President Taft with the Cow ernor of the State and the Mayor of
 
 of ten learned societies embracing some 5000 members. The gathering will mark the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the American historical asso- cistion and the American Economic Association.
 Efforts to settle the switchmen's strike in the Northwest continue. Governor Eberhart of Minnesota will ask representatives of the railroads and the union to meet nim in St. Paul Monday for this purpose.
 The fate of college football may be decided at the annual meeting of the intercollegiate Athletic Association in New York Tuesday. Changes in the rules to make the game safer un- doubtedly will be made.
 European dispatches during the week may deal with the floods on the Spanish peninsulas. the reported i'll health of King Alfonso of Spain: legal complications over the rich estate of Leopold, late King of the Belgians; the political situation in Greece. where inc military league seems to be ar ranging things to it's own satisfac- tion. and the whereabouts of Dr. Fred erick A.
