DR.. and Mrs w. G. Jeffries were
up from Davis City Friday making
farewell visit with their friends in
this city. They left Davis City Tues
day and will sail from New York
Saturday on the steamer Berlin, for
Genoa, Italy, their destination being
Vienna, Austria, where they expect
to remain for two years while Dr..
Jcffries is pursuing his medical stud
les in the greatest medical college of
the old world, his object being to
specialize and fit himself for practice
with the best medical education it is
possible to obtain. Their many
friends here are sorry to see them
leave for SO long time but trust
they will enjoy themselves. The Re-
porter will cross the seas each week
to keep them posted with the home
news and Mrs. Jeffries has promised
to write us some letters telling about
their trip, which we feel sure will be
read with great interest by all their
friends back here in good old Iowa.

this life Nov 20, 1911, at the age

worse on retiring for the night. His
sudden death was a great shock to
his wife, mother, brothers and sister.

February united with the Friends
church. The funeral was held at
the Friends church conducted by his
pastor Rev. Fry assisted by Rev. A..

O. E. Hull, local agent for Lozier,
the Des Moines florist, sent him an
order for some flowers for the funer-
al of the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Zimmerman, which was held
Tuesday afternoon. In some manner
the shipment was missed for the
morning train at Des Moines, and
rather than disappoint the parties
Mr.. Lozier hired a man to make the
trip to Leon on a motorcycle with
the flowers, and he reached Leon just
as the funeral procession was start
ing to the cemetery. A trip of over
$50 miles to deliver a few flowers
is unusual.

WEEKLY REVIEW
NEW INDUSTRIES FORMED IN
DixIELAND DURING THE PAST
WEEK.
Special to The journal.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-The
last week of the year, according to
The Tradesman, does not promise to
be an active one by any means in
pig iron and steel in the south. but
there is a good feeling on all sides
over the prospects. The last month of
the year 1911, as compared to previous
DEFENDERS. has been a most favorable
one, the sales being good and the out
put aggregating well, considering,
Steps were taken during the past week
to provide against any possible shut
down at blast furnaces. raw material
being rushed to the iron makers in
quantity and other precautions taken.
1t was announced by officials that
every effort is to be made to keep up
the production in pig iron through
the holiday season and good results
are hooked for.
The new year promises to start in
with more than one third of the prob
able make sold ahead and the manu-
faCturerS expect to sell iron during
the first three months TO provide for
the better half of the probable make
of the year. Absolutely no fear is eX-
pressed that there will be any ac-
Cumulated iron after the third or
fourth MONTH of 1872. The home con-
S;fAptiUn as the outward movement
will right from the start Of 1912 re-
qu.ire more iron than the make. It is
not believed there will be any effort
made TO increase the make until the
reduction of the accumulated stocks is
We'll in hand. There is intimaJion that
the price of iron will go up during
the first quarter. some OF the furnace
companies having sold as much iron
ahead as they desire to.
While it is not to be denied that
great quantities Of iron have been
sold for consumption in southern ter
ritory. there have been large sales
made for shipments both east and
west. Western consumers continue to
assert that had the railroads been
generous and given concessions in the
way of a reduction in freight rates,
there would have been larger ton
mage purchased in this section. The

NEW YORK MARKET
COTTON MARKET
IS UNSETTLED
BY Associated Press.

New York. Dec. 2s.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of to points
in line with lower Liverpool cables than
dut, but soon rallied on covering by sellers
yesterday who probably felt that the
showing of Liverpool market was a sur
prfStngly steady one in view of the Lam
cashire lockout. Business was quiet, a
moderate demand from old shorts and
trade interests being sufficient to impart
q generally. steady tone with prices q
shade over yesterdays close
The market continued quiet late in the
forenoon with active months ruling about
1 to points net higher; business seemed
to be largely in the way Of switching
with leading spot people buying January
against sale OF later months, while South
ern shorts, were said to be transferring
their. commitments from January to later
positions.
Recent sales of the Hartman stocks
were based on expectations OF poor earn
.ngs for November. The statements as
published today were much poorer than
had been looked for and there was a fur
