Cotton Traffic on the River Has
 Eufaula, Sept. 13.-(special)-rhe steamer Three States reached the wharf here late Saturday night and took on q cargo of $50 bales of cot ton together with quantity of other merchandise leaving for the bay about II o'clock yesterday morning.
 This makes a total of $50 bales of the staple that has taken the river route bound for Mobile.
 The steamer W. c. Bradley passed through this morning carrying a cargo of 45O bales of cotton for Columbus.
 This increased traffic is causing much concern among the merchants along the entire river route who will try the plan and 1t may necessitate the putting on of other boats to meet the emergency this winter.

NEW YEAR
 CELEBRATION
MONTGOMERY HEBREWS PLAN
 MING FOR CHURCH FEASTs.
Rabbi Ehrenreich Tells of Festivals That Are Most Important to Members of the Jew-
 fsh Faith,

The most important period of the Jewish calendar occurs during the middle of September and extends through the early part of october. During these weeks the Jewish people celebrate important religious days. character, others again commemorate ing an important event in Jewish his- tory.
 The season openA with the New Year which occurs next Thursday. It is followed on the tenth day by the Day of Atonement and a few days succeeding the Day of Atonement the Succoth festival or Feast of Booths. The first two are purely religious, ths last is historic and commemorative of the Israelitish wanderings in the wil- derness after the Exodus.
 The New Years day will be observed in accordance with historic usage, and will be ushered in Wednesday night. It differs from the New Years days of other people, in so far that the civil element plays no part whatever. It Is a period of self-examinatidn and proper preparation for the Day of Atonement. Resolutions for the suc- ceeding year are made and man is to take into account wherein he has fallen short in the year that had just come 70 a close.
 He is to make proper reparation for wrongs committed and should resolve to do better in the future. Thus he is in a fit spiritual condition to 3D. proach his Maker on the Day of Atones ment and through fasting and proper whole souled application. plead for remittance of his sins. The immediate touch between God and man Is thus emphasized in these days. Man may approach the Almighty without the intervention of any intermediate being and plead for his forgiveness.
 These days are the solemn days of the Hebrews, and wherever there IS a beating Jewish heart, there the sole emnity of the day strikes fully and keenly. The ties of family, always strong among the Hebrews, is empha- sized for many are the families that are reunited on these august days.
 The Festival of Succoth of Feast of Booths is celebrated more as a feast. While partaking of the Spirit of Is- rael which is always distinctively re- ligious, it contains the lighter ele- ments of which the former possess no part. Spiritual uplift is the keynote of the New Years Day and the Day of Atonement. and gratitude for Gods mercies at all times of life Is the bur den of the Feast of Booths.
 At Kahl Montgomery's synagogue services will be held Wednesday even ing at 6 o'clock and Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The services will be conducted by Rabbi B. c. Ehrenreich, who will be assisted by the choir of theScongregation under the direction of Professor Merriam.

OPINIONS DISAGREE
 ON PELLAGRA'S CAUSE

That all knowledge of the causes of pellagra Is mere theory is a conclusion of the local medical fraternity. The physicians of the marine hospital at Washington recently agreed that the causes of the ravishing disease are poverty and poor surroundings.
 Montgomery physicians have been interviewed on the point, and their opinions are found to be opposed to those of the marine hospital corps. One of the physicians said that he had a case, in which the afflicted man was neither poor nor surrounded by sruaior. although it is true that many cases are under such circumstances
 The causes are not generally attrib- uted to the eating of cornbread. The opinion of local physicians generally is that the real causes are yet to be discovered. each one of them admit ting that he is at sea on the subject

the management of the large railroad

MARKETS UPWARD
TREND 4 SURPRI5E
Many of the Leading Stocks
Have Recently Made New High
Records for the Year.

Even in Wall Street more or less sur
prise finds expression regarding the
continued advance in quotations for
stocks which are prominent objects Of
speculative operations. Since last Feb
rlary there has been a steady. almost
continuous. appreciation in the figures
at which certain prominent vehicles for
such activity are quoted. Reactions, it
has been noted. have been short-lived,
and although ordinarily bearish inter-
ests would naturally tend TO assume an
aggressive position on the short side of
the account, in view of the manifest in
fiation of values which the movement
has involved, there has been little or 10
opportunity for profits through opera
tions of that sort. The past week has
seen a further illustration of the mark
ing-up process which has been In vogue
for nearly six months, says Bradstreet's ;.
OF the active stocks the greater num-
Der have made new high records for the
year, and though the latter part of the
week witnessed a considerable amoun
of proft-taking with recessions, the
final elimination of the movement is
generally regarded as still distant.
The extent to which prices have risen
since the early part of the year, and
the appreciation which the present scale
of quotations involves, above the low
figures made during and subsequent to
the panic period of less than two years
ago, is shown in the following tabula-
ton, which also presents the high
figures made during the period of ex-
pansion which reached its culmina-
ton In 1906 and 1907. For this purpose
some eighteen stocks. which have
figured most prominently in the pres
ent movement, have been selected;

BIG DECREASE
OF IDLE MEN
Unemployed at Present Are Far
Fewer in New York Than
a Year Ago.

NEW YORK, Aug 9-Substantial in
crease in prosperity, particularly among
the wage arner and the Industrial
world. is shown by the New York Labor
Bulletin, just issued under the direction
Of State Commissioner of Labor John
Williams.
THE percentage of idleness among
organized wage earners in the State,
which at the end OF March. 1908. was
1851 per cent, or the highest on record
for that date since 1896, was at the end
of March this year 21.1 per cent, the
returns representing over ; 10000 wage
%earners," writes Chief Statistician
Leonard w. Hatch, the editor of the
Bulletin, in his summary of facts OBJ
tanned for the report.
The returns as to causes of idleness
show that in the first quarter of 1909, as
in 1908, the dominant cause was lack of
work, due to the general Industrial sit
uation. There are very few OF the thir-
teen industries or groups of trades rep
resented in the returns, and none of
those which were at all severely af-
fected by the depression of 1908, which
do not snow marked Improvement over
last year.
The building industry, in which is
about one-third of the States union
membership, shows a reduction of the
percentage of idleness at the end of
March, from $50 in 1908 to 36.3 this
year, and eturns of building operations
in principal cities show a remarkable
improvement in the outlook ahead in
that industry. In the transportation
industry, With nearly one-sixth of the
union membership, the March percent
age of idleness declined from 25.6 to 1876
from 1908 to 1909.
Clothing, metals and printing, which
are the leading manufacturing indus
tries represented in the returns and
which together contain about me
fourth of the u~nionists in the State,
show similar decreases from 46.7 to
14.2 for the clothing trades, from Bis
to 1873 for the metal trades, and from
17.9 to 7.9 for the printing trades
Regarding employment and earnings,
Statistician Hatch says:
THE Improvement in the condition
of the labor market between 1908 and
1909 may be seen not only in the de-
creased mount ofidleness. but in the
steadier employment of those not en-
tirely idle. Thus 1875 per cent. of the
organized workmen employed in the
first quarter of 1909 worked two-thirds
OF the time. or better, as compared with
only 67.3 per cent, who made as much
time as hal in 1908; and the 279, 4S2 who
were returned as employed averaged
for the quarter $50 DAYS, as against
an average of 64.7 days in 1905"
