MOVEMENT FOR
 NEW RAILROAD

Cuba, November 14-(Special.) )-Consid- erable speculation has been indulged in and much local interest evinced in a re- cent trip made by John T. Cochrane of the Tombigbee Valley and the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern, through this ter ritory, where he looked over the survey of the proposed Cuba, Choctaw and Gulf to run south of this point for about 20 miles. Just what will come of the trip is a matter of conjecture, but it appears that the route is considered feasible and that the road would pay until such time as it was absorbed by the Cochrane interests, since it lies somewhat in line to connect up the two lines, although it is little too far west.

WEST VIRGINIA'S
 BIG APPLE CROP

Washington, November 14-(Special.)- southern commercial congress, December 6 and T. will come from the board of trade of Martlnsburg, W. Va. The dis play will be entirely devoted to West Virginia apples. According to a recent statement the value of the apple crop of West Virginia now exceeds the mine- mouth value of its coal output each year.
 Another exhibit of great significance will be a show case of shoes from Lynch burg, Va, together with statistics to prove the quick development of that city from a shoe-1obbing center to a shoe- manufacturing center, turning out several million dollars worth year.
 Houston will bring as It's exhibit maps and illustrations to show the development of Houston as port. The exhibit will be kept in the limelight by a strong delegation from the Houston Business league, headed by President Heitman. The members will take part in the south ern commercial congress and then in the national rivers and harbors con gress, thus accomplishing two important purposes by one trip.
 These are mere indications of the prac- tical character of the exhibit feature of the southern commercial congress The director of exhibits is Mr. John H. Fin ney, secretary of the Appalachian Ma tional Forest association.

De- cember 6-11, would do well to make hotel or boarding-house arrangements in ad- vance, present indications show the arrival of over 5000 men to the events of that week-the southern commercial congress, the national rivers and harbors congress, and other smaller events.

IS
 HELD IN CHECK
Demands Upon Money Market
 Are As Heavy As Usual
CROPS MUST BE HANDLED
Business Activity As Shown By Crop Movement Diverts Money From Speculative Channels To
 Commercial Uses.

New York, November 14.-The limita- tion of banking supplies held speculation in restraint last week. In its neglected condition the stock market was some what vulnerable to factors of depression and sentiment was tinged by this, in spite of the substantial growth of busi- ness activity and prosperity Plainly this very activity is having its part in displacing credits which have been em- ployed in holding stocks and transferring their use into commercial channels The seasonable demand for currency to move the crops also makes it's customary re- quirement on the banks at the reserve eenters.
 Speculation in stocks, meantime, is held in check and the forces employed for the protection of market prices seem content to keep operations quiet and to oppose attacks on the market until the money situation shall clear up. Only in the less conspicuous members of the stock list is there room for wider move ments
 The money position abroad was regard
 
 the substantial recuperation in the con- dition of the Bank of England. which placed it's proportion of reserve to liabili- ties above 50 per cent. The Bank of France and the Bank of Germany also made a material recovery from the effect of November 1 settlement. In London there was continued anxiety over the .tt relinqulsh the efforts at control of the money market by the Bank of England.
 The exports of gold from New fork. coupled with renewed demand from in- terior points for currency and the ab- sorption into the sub-treasury encroached so far on the slender surplus reserve of the clearing house banks as to prompt some calling of loans which precipitated liquidation of stocks from time to time. Large new capital offerings await re- taxation in the money market.
 The neglected speculation in stocks has allowed leisure for great attention to some of the more distant problems to be met. The approaching session of Con- gross and the resumption of a legislative and executive programme of regulation Ol hCliNlllSst dlLuOuBH Luby understood, looks larger in financial at- tention with its nearer approach.
 The series of demands made by fail- road employees for higher wages develops another question which threatens to grow in importance. It's importance is increased by the steady rise in prices of commodi- ties and cost of living, which is a fea- ture of the times. Aside from the vari- bus special causes involving shortage of supplies, which affect items of foodstuffs and clothing material there is hound desultory discussion of the bearing on prices of the worlds unprecedented and sustained gold production.
 Some special attention has centered on the copper industry by reason of heavy sales for export of the metal reported last week, and the many rumors cufyent of a coming merger, or combination of the principal producers of copper.

latter corroborated him in this.
Justice Jaycock handed down a de-
cision yesterday framing the questions

from this decision that Mr., Martin asked
permission to withdraw all the charges
