HOLIDAY GOODS ARE
 RAPIDLY MOVING

Tuskegee, December 3.-(Special.) .)-Dr. Thompson, pastor of the Methodist church, preached his last sermon Sunday before leaving for conference, which con- venes next Wednesday, The church hopes for his return to this charge, and this will likely be done, as he has served here only one year.
 Holiday goods are rapidly moving, so say the merchants. and this means good sales for the season, and prosperity for the merchants. Every one should recog- nize the claims of the children and make them happy this season. rA

TRANSIT FORMAT|ON IN MONEY MARKET "A Pause in Stock Market
 Activity THE PRICES RECEDE Exportation of Gold and the Decem- Der Money Settlements Held
 Responsible for the
 Change
THE PRICES RECEDE

New York. December 3.--The coming of December worried Q transformation in the money market last week and direct- ed close. attention to the political phases o' the financial outlook. The effect Was pause in stock market activity and | i recession in prices.
 So many extraordinary demands upon the money market have been met during the year without ruffling it's ease that the signs oI diminishing supplies were rather neglected until rise in rates gave warning.
 The movement of currency the preced- ing week. although known to be on Q scale sufficient to tax the available bank l surplus carried the call loan rate until changed to tie end of that week. With the opening of last week, however. and
 the persistence of the depicting factors.
 there came some displacement of credits and shifting of loans which led to higher
 bids.
 The exportation of gold and the De ] cember money settlements were held re- sponsible for the change What indi-. ca ed there might be less transitory case was a hardening at the same time of the rates for time money here and of private discount rates abroad. It had been assumed that New York bank credits to foreign borrowers would prove readily available to meet any home need as it arose.
 The response of the foreign money mar kets to the fall in exchange at New York gives intimation of an unwillingness to reinquish mary resources at hand. In conseuuence a question arises about any probable relaxation of money markets until the turn of the year. The assembling of Congress next week for the long session brought into. closer consideration a factor which is expected to prove a disturbing element for some time.
 The possible consequences of the pro- posed revision of the tariff or of other legislation affecting the business interests of the country were regarded as of suf- ficienr importance to cause restriction of demand
 The fncessant din of the trust ques- ton fed by committee Investigation from both houses of Congress and the coming report of the railroad securities commis- sion, aided to keep political lamps burn ing.
 The week brought further evidence of better business conditions. The buying of pis iron was much more aggressive and tf ere was continuance of the brisk demand for some lines of railroad equip ment Reports of railway earnings in October showed no uniform tendency. In several cases railroads traversing the same general sections of the country ex- hibited results which were at variance with each other
 There were, however, number of striking gains in some cases effected by reduction of expenses.
 Business on the stock exchange showed substantial expansion last month, as compared with the previous month, both in stocks and in bonds. The par value of bond sales in November rose to above $SS, 100000, which was exceeded in that month only four times previously.
 The extent of the months rise in prices of stocks in itself suggested a pause such as occurred last. week

GINNERS' RETURNS
 10 AFFECT MARKET
Market Will Also Watch Government Estimate
 of the Crop e

New Orleans, December 3.-Two things will be talked about in the cotton mar tet this week, to the exclusion of every thing else, except, possibly, the spot sit- uation. First, will come the ginners' returns from the census bureau. to be issued Friday, and after that .the gov ernment's estimate of the crop due q week from Monday.
 The gnnefs figures will simply lead up to the governments estimate. which will be compiled by the department of agriculture but it is natural that com ing first. as they do, they should com mand greai deal of attention They will be used as the basis of many cror inmates from private sources, just a, they are ir part used as the basis O the governments estimate of the tota yield.
 It is too early yet to say what the trade looks for from the ginners. Esti- mates of the figures range all the way from 12,500.0Q bales up to 100000. Those Individuals and firms that have put out look for the higher amount in order to make their guesses plausible.
 With all the crop guessing that has been going on of late the markets have not yet settled on what to expect from the government in the way of an esti- mate.
 Many people will probably go wrong in their expectations because they do not Know that the government figures will be expressed in 800 pound bales. and that they will not include linters.
 The crop is first reduced to pounds and then figured into bales. Express ing the figures in 300 pound bales will make the total look larger so far as spinnable cotton IS concerned but the exclusion of linters will make the figures smaller than guesses on the commercial crop.
 The commercial crop includes nnters, repacks and the like and does not take into consideration the amount of cotton in this crop marketed prior to Septem- ber 1. It is simply the crop brought into sight for the year ending with the last day of August. The different methods of counting the crop employed frequent ly causes some little confusion in con- nection with the governments figures When traders are not figuring on re- ports they are inquiring into spot de- mand which, after the eleventh day of the month. will be the one big thing in sight to influence prices. It will take ex- tremely strong developments in the spot department, however. to pull the market away from the influence of the govern ment reports this week t

Cuba, December 3.-(SpeciaD. With the cleaning up of the crops phenomenal yields are being shown all over this sec ton and 100 bushel yield of corn to the acre are in fair way to become the rule and not the exception. An effort is being made to get Professor Duncan or Profes- sor Hobdy over here for two days to or ganize and increase the membership in the Boys Corn club work. One or two boys that have been in the work for two years will have to drop out as all the barns are full and they will have no place to store it. Rowan McElroy is a case in particular, his father having enough corn to do him for the next two years. Exper- iments are being made with small grain crops this fall which are banning out well, so far the recent cold spell doing no in- jury of moment.

The manage ment Is taking no chances and are con- tinuing to put up their canned sweets in accordance with the regulations laid down by Dr. A. w. Biting of the pure food de- partment. Samples submitted to the trade are meeting with great favor on account of the bright color of the stock. A car load goes out next week to Russell, But Ter of Meridian, Miss, while another will likely go to Sturgeon & Dozier of Bir- mingham, within 10 days. The professor has discovered plan to put up yellow yams which have hitherto been considered impossible, which is proving a hit with the trade and bringing a price well above that charged for ordinary yams.

 The holding movement of cotton con- tlnues and as a consequence business is more or less dull. Banks are doing all they can for the farmers to help them hold until better price is obtained. So far no one has been appointed by Cover nor O'Neal to look after a reduction in acreage in this section, but it will come anyway. Opinion is mixed as to the good the plan made by the governors will do in holding the price.
 Inquiries continue to come in from the north and east for lands in this section, and it is believed that ultimately some settlers will avail themselves of the op- portunity to secure cheap lands that will produce two crops per year. The latest inquiry is from Pennsylvania parties who are interested in the cattle industry and small fruits.
 realty owner here has offered land at S5 per acre to actual settlers which price he feels ought to be attractive.
 Socially things are quiet with but little doing. A reception is shortly to be ten- dered Miss Davis who Is the guest of the Misses McGowen.
