their raws are costing them more
money, sales of Cubas being made this
week at 4.20 cents. which means a
margin for the manufactured product
of only 10 points. Javas must fuFn1sh

sellers views are as a result firm.
The total export of East Indian sugar
up to September 1st was 225,000 tons
less than last year for the same time,
but this falling off is doubtless ex-
planned by the big crop Of Cubas.

buyers are therefore, less inclined to

More Interest in Rice.
Grocers are showing more interest
in rice and naturally, with crop re-
ports so cheerful they are not dis
posed to anticipate needs far ahead.
New rice is k upon arrival at the
dock and is not accommodating so far,
although some easing up in prices
has been noted. Strictly fancy heads
bring 6 IL to 7 cents, but the assert
ment is widening in Honduras offer
ings. It is remarked in some circles
that distributors return frequently for
supplies, suggesting that they find the
consumption increasing.
The liquidation Of old crop Japans
by speculative holders continues, and
according to reports losses Of nearly a
cen a pound have been taken. The
local trade looks for a big crop of
rice this year, both Honduras and
Japans, pointing out that the weather
has been favorable for harvesting in
contrast with last year. when con-
tinuous rain damaged the yield. Me
outlook favors a good fall business
here since industrial conditions in
the East show marked Improvement.

Widespread Wintry Weather

A good share of the country bids fair to have a white Christmas, in- cluding our own Tennessee valley. There is no harm in a white Christ mas. In fact, white Christmas is good for winter wheat, and it therefore makes for cheap bread next year.
 The duration of the present cold spell is as remarkable as it's breadth. It began last Friday and is now of weeks standing. Thus far no marked rise in temperature has been reported in the Rocky mountains, and it is therefore safe to predict a Christmas that will keep people indoors, gathered in warm rooms. Let us hope every household will have at least one such room tomorrow in which its children can enjoy the great festival.
 The winter season should not be- cloud the mind. It is a necessary part of natures plans. It kills boil weevils and many other noxious insects. It gives the soil the rest 1t needs. It brings to us bracing airs, and when we consider how long the warm season | of the year is in this latitude we
 should welcome the charms and ad- | fl.
 ings do nip the fingers and benumb the ears. The winter solstice is already 1 behind us, and spring will soon come on apace.

Santa Claus or Christ.

Tt would be safe thing to say that more children regard Christmas as the season of Santa Claus than as the feast of the nativity of Christ" said a church member, "and while have no desire to interfere with the spirit of generosity which prevails at this season, yet l consider 1t is a great mistake to ob- scure this, the greatest event in the worlds history with fiction which in time will overshadow 1t.
 ''Nor Is this custom confined to Christ mas alone. Easter, commemorative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is to the av- craze child a time of rabbits and hard boiled eggs. This is organism to the full est extent and in direct conflict with the doctrine and teachings of Christianity. It is due to such ideas as these. acquired during infancy, that 1t has become tho custom among men to celebrate the an- niversary of these events by intoxication and rioting and doing everything conceiv- able to desecrate the days which should be observed by religious services.
 eff we proceed much farther along these lines it is only a question of time when Sunday will cease to be a day of re- ligious observances and become merely a day of rest and recreation"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-12-24
Greater Rirmllgham

"An Alabama says the Montgom- cry Journal, looks with peculiar pride upon. Birmingham and wants her to expand and grow and continue to get people until she is the biggest city in the south. The action of the su- preme court makes her by long odds the biggest city in Alabama. The next census will show a population of near 140. .000, and at the present rate of in- crease in five years the city will have a quarter of a million. We all rejoice with, and have a personal pride in, Greater Birmingham"
 This is the general sentiment throughout the state-a sentiment al ready expressed by the Montgomery Advertiser and the Mobile Register. In Jones valley, and out of it. all are glad in this state to see the new and greater city come into it's own. There will not be a discordant note on New Years day when the new city will ma terialize and crystalline into fact.
 The Atlanta Journal and the Nash vile American have seen fit to well come the new city with sarcastic re- marks, but comment of that nature from the two cities is both natural and pardonable. The two papers named expressed pent-up feelings, and Greater Birmingham has no reply to make. It will simply refer them both to the cen sus takers, who will furnish all the an swer that the case calls for.

COOK NOT DECORATED.
King of Denmark Waited To Hear Full
 Report.

Washington, December 23.-That Dr. Cook was not decorated by the King of Denmark, as has been generally sup posed, is the substance of a statement made here tonight by Dr. Maurice F. Egan, United States minister to Dem mark. MT. Egan, who is on leave of absence from his post, is spending the holidays in Washington
 Contrary to the generally accepted opinion, Dr. Cook was not decorated by the King" said pr. Evan tonight. '"The King held back his decoration, awaiting the decision of the University of Copen- hagen. The honorary degree of the uni versity confer red upon Dr. Cook and the medal which the Royal Geographical so- ciety of Denmark gave him were not for his supposed discovery of the pole, but for his previous achievements ih polar ex- plorations, particularly his work in the Belgica expedition. He will not be asked to return these hOnoIs.
 'If Commander Peary had appeared In Copenhagen short time after he dis covered the pole he would have received a reception equally enthusiastic from the King and the people.

PEARY DECLARES
 HIS WORK ENDED

Washington, December 23-Never again will he head another expedition, either to the south pole or the north pole. This announcement was made to- night by Commander Robert E. Poary. He stands ready, however to assist any expedition which contemplates set ting out for either extremity of the earth.
 My work has been accomplished" said Commander Peary. q made 1t known some time ago in Brussels that I would assist any expedition that would set out for the south pole, and at the same time also said I would not personally conduct such an expedition. l still hold to this and I have no in- tention of changing my mind"

Sixteen Wards In the Greater City

To the eleven wards of this city five more are to be added, as follows: one to include Ensley, Fairyiew and Wy lam; one covering Pratt City. East Thomas and Thomas; one in North Birmingham; one at West End and Elyton, and one in East Lake and Woodlawn. The greater city will then consist of 16 wards represented by 32 aldermen. On the basis of population this seems to be a pretty fair appor- tionment of the territory soon to be embraced in the city, for an approxi- mate estimate gives to each ward about 5000 people.
 Until the new census is completed this is doubtless about as evenly as the citys population can be appor- tioned in wards. The formation of wards relates more to population than to territory. The census of next April will afford a basis for any changes tha, may be needed, and until it is reported and digested there is no reason why the plan formulated by the Greater Birmingham committee of the cit, council should not be accepted.
 The assimilation of nearly 50 squar, miles in new city will move alon, harmoniously, or, at any rate, withou serious friction. if all will bend them selves to the task without selnshnes or undue dictation. The new ward sAepla bs laft free to select thsis owl

Christmas GiYing

All have an opportunity to brighten the lives of helpless children in this city. for if there are none at home and within reach, there are hundreds of fatherless and motherles little one in the orphanage at East Lake and in the Mercy home on the North Highlands. In those institutions are about 300 bright-faeed, cheery children from ? to fl years of age, and no gift to them will go amiss. If, then, you would gather a share of the Christmas spirit, make some or all of those children hap pier tomorrow.
 The one who gives gifts expecting one in return does not secure to him. self the real warmth and blessing of the Christmas season The way to do that is to brighten, even for one day, the life of 8 homeless child and the Mercy home and the East Lake or phanage are full of such children. Keep them in mind in this hallowed season. Nor should the Home of the Friend less, at East Lake, be overlooked. In this home poor girls are cared for until good homes can be secured for them No institution in this city is doing bet
  ter work, and all funds sent to it will be faithfully and wisely used

Healthy Business Signs.

"Our business has been improving steadily" said J. H. Hocombe, manager of the Jesse French Piano and Organ company ''and while it would not be quite true to say that it was again normal, it is approaching that condition One of the best signs is that people are buying finer grade of pianos; we are selling more grands and high-grade up- rights. There is a very decided improve ment in that respect
 While all industrial plants in the Bir- mingham district are now in operation on full time. and while general business in Alabama is again fairly satisfactory, dullness prevailed during the first half or the year. and hereabouts 1t has only been since October that old-time indus trial activity came into evidence. As the result of business depression which followed the panic. many men were ldie and got in debt. These men are catch ing up and will soon be out of debt. one of the most healthful signs of the local situation is that while collections nave been slow, our customers have proved themselves square and honorable. Those who owe us are paying on account ana are dong their very best.

CONTRACT DECLARED ILLEGAL.
Decision Is Made on Handling Cotton
 Seed at Galveston.

Galveston, December 23.-Upholding the interstate commerce commission. the exclusive wharfage privileges for handling cotton seed products here ex- isting by contract for the past four years between the Southern Pacific Terminal company and B. H. Young of this city was today declared invalid and illegal in the United States cir cult court of the Fifth Judicial circuit. The decision was handed down by .Judges Pardee, Mccormick and Shelby fin the suit of the terminal company against the interstate commerce com mission and others.
 The deciding judges further ruled in the case that the contract must be at once abandoned, or the same wharfage privileges now enjoyed by Young will be awarded to others who may make application. The result of the suit has been watched with interest throughout the country by shipping and cotton cir cles, as its result will have an import ant future bearing on the cotton seed industry in this city. The case may be carried to the United States supreme court.
