MARKET REPORT
OF HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, December II, 1919.
Approach Of the holidays naturally
has a quieting effect upon business
The financial outlook, however, though
not entirely free from shadows, has
its encouraging features. Chief Of
these is the ease in money. What
with contraction of credit, retrench-
ment in expenditures, dullness Of
trade and lessened speculative acti-
witty, the supply of loanable funds is
steadily accommodating, and unless
business recovery develops after the
new year, there will be a glut of idle
money. This however, is the usual
swing of affairs following any period
of extraordinary activity 1t is also
one of the most natural and efficient
cures for business depression. As
long as business conditions remain
southland there is no reason to con-
slider them otherwise-money will
gradually come back into circulation,
flowing through the arteries of COM
merce and performing it's useful and
beneficent function in restoring bus
mess activity. Low rates of interest
indicate insufficient employment for
money. Funds, however, will not

Local growers of cotton may be in
terested to know that the steamship

cotton for the mills of Japan. This
cotton came from Texas and beyond
and has already stood expensive rail

parts disease when eaten. Even fer
ret speedily contract the disease and
die.
THE menace to this country is but
slightly realized. With Europe but
five to seven days away, we will as
surely get the rats as we now get
European fashions. 1t may sound abb
surd, but we might better set apart
a day or days to exterminating rats
than as We now do 10 do tree plant

some of our holidays. What is neel.
ed is concerted national action. Boys
of few years ago will recall the
easy money in sparrows when some
counties paid bonus of 1 cent pei
head. AT the same price, a million
dollars paid for dead rats would be
worth several times the same amount
left to some research fund"

TALK OF CAROLINA LEAGUE
Efforts Being Made to Revive the

and Florence in a six-cornered ag-
zrega.ion Of dope" furnishe-s.
Nothing definite corld be ascer-
tanned except that efforts are being
mt forth to stimulate isterest in
such a league. Baseball Is greatly
missed in Eastern Carolina and the
fans are getting the diamond fever
right along. A great many people
think that baseball advers:ses town
or cisv and does town go.'d.
It is pointed out that tae above
towns are close together and that
such a formation of teams would
save 2 lot OF money in railroad fares

down 70 such a point that expense:
