pected to be the best week Of the

Of business.
December promises to be an aver
age month i'll temperatures with
more than usual snow in northern

southern sections. Cotton sections

Present indications are quite fav-
orable to winter grain and tend to
make prices 60 lower. But it is use
less to give advice about grain mar
kets at this time. After the middle
of January | would not hesitate to
give advice but not pOw. Big specu-
lators are in control and no one can
make a good guess at this time on
market prices of grain up to April
The cotton crop is as these bulle-
tins predicted long ago, and on ac-
count of the prospects of large
product the big spectators have
run prices down in order that they
may buy at lower prices. This is
not the time to sell cotton, and
planters should hold all they can
Better borrow money and mortgage
| the cotton than TO sell now If our
government can not put stop tC
/ the manipulations OF market prices
of farm and plantation products we
will have jolly time. some of these
/ days. in turning a lot of fellows oul
and putting in new set.
In scientific matters a great actlv-
i ity has sprung up III the investiga-
tons of the sun. Nearly all books
4 that discuss the nature of the sun
particularly i'll reference to the sun
spots. have been borrowed from the
great libraries. There is no agree
ment among scientists as to the con-
stitution of the sun, and they are
lin a savage war on that subject
I They have divided into two parties
conservatives and progressives, sim
j liar to the politicians, the govern
Hent scientists, except DR.. Wiley
4 being conservatives.
The progressives are. also divided
one sci holding to the attraction O
gravitation as being the sole cause
and the other to electromagnetic
as the cause. As an example ma.
u ask are the tides caused by electro
magnetism or the attraction of grav.
! itation? OF course these bulletins
have long advocated eIectro-mag.
netism as the disturbing cause, th'
/ progressive element. while attrac.
ton of gravitation is the conserva-
4 tive element, tending to quiet anC
and non-progression.
