REEVES CO.
Wholesale Staple and Fancy
Groceries

No other section holds out for
the newcomer in all lines of bus
mess more superior advantages
than those offered here. Tupelo
has already become a jobbing
centre, and one of no small i'm
portance. The largest wholesale
grocery house in Northeast Mis-
sissippi is the subject of this
brief sketch. The spiritgof i'm
provement and hustle manifested
in the men who build cities and
bring forth blossoms in dessert
places has ever been an attribute
of Nh. w. T. Reeves, who in 1905
opened the Reeves Grocery Co.
AS trade of Tupelo is ever ex-
tending it's limits, this company
was organized to meet the de-
mand of the constantly growing
business, and this it has done in
an exceptional way. Among the
vast number of articles handled
by this concern the prospective
customer will always find the
following of which they are the
exclusive distributing agents:
Superlative Self Rising Flour,
the highest grade self rising flour
on the market. Whitecrest Flour
the highest grade patent product
in the country. Princess and
Excels, fancy patent and White
Lilly standard patent. Aunt
Patsy and Ralston Peruna Poul-
try food, Uuion Metallic small
arms ammunition, KaroC Corn Syrup,
FauItless Starch, Fairbanks
Soaps and Washing Powders,
Libby products, Rumford Baking
Powder, in fact nothing in the
grocery line is omitted in the
large stock carried. This COM
pany is under the direct manage
ment of the name it bears, and
is in a very prosperous condition,
owing to his conservative and
practical ways of doing business.
A force of travelling men are
kept busy on the road bringing
the company continuously before
buyers of these lines of goods,
and this probably accounts, to a
certain extent. for the success
achieved by the firm. Although
giving most careful attention to
out of town purchasers, Mr..
Reeves is particularly attentive
to the wants of his home city,
whose appreciation of this fact
is shown by the heavy Tupelo
trade.

Bankers Head Says
Stocks Are Near Panic
Prices, Due to Wilson

CHICAGO. Oct. 2s-Georse 3.
Caldwell. president Of the Investment
Bankerg Association OF America, IN
opening It's second annual convention
here today. said that stocks and
bonds were down almost to panic
prices" because Of the dissatisfaction
Of capital with the present and the
last administrations
For the last two years the security
market has reflected the disgust OF
capital because the administrations
Of Taft and Wilson seemed deter
mined to irrltate and regulate busL-
ness. The agitation has gone 30 far
that our government at Washington
is almost certain TO be on the bear
side of the market"
Mr.. Caldwell, who Is president of
the Continental and Commercial
Trust and Savings Bank OF Chicago,
said that the thrifty poor would suffer
most.
Mr.. Caldwell criticized the blue
sky" law of Kansas and declared
that the notoriety given It had led
the way to the introduction of sim
liar legislation in forty States, IN
twenty-one Of which the legislation
was dangerous both TO investor and
dealer.
Mr.. Caldwell criticized the pending
currency bill along lines made familiar
5y other bankers and iaid stress on
the assertion that the moral respon-
sibility of the government to safe
guard the public credit was greater
now than eyer before.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-More reassur-
ing crop advices from Argentina gave
the wheat market today over to the
bears, Liverpool had declined sharply
from an early advance and there
were reports of showers in the Pun
jaub. Continued liberal receipts at
Winnipeg tended also to discourage
the bulls. The opening, which was a
shade to Aq% lower, was succeeded
by an additional decline.
The drought in Argentina was said
to have been relieved except near
Bahia Blanca. Accordingly the mar
ket after a reaction fell lower than
before. The close though was steady
at loss of a cent net.
Cold and snow in Kansas and. Ne
braslta, which will bring about heavy
feeding, had a strengthening tnf1u-
ence. The close was steady, u to "A
above last night.
Selling pressure based on weaker
cable quotations and on the weakness
in wheat carried corn to lower
level Commission buying, however,
developed after the dip. Opening
prices were u to A@s off, but a
above last night.
Although oats eased off with other
grain, the loss was entirely regained.
Trading was light and scattered.
Provisions sagged owing to de-
cline in the hog market First sales
varied from 21a down to a like
amount up with later transactions
at a material drop.

Prices No Check on Rates
of Freight Commission Rules

WASHINGTON, Oct 2s.--In hold
Ing today that a proposed increase in
the freight rates on potatoes, averag-
ing about two cents a hundred pounds
from Oklahoma points to the Rocky
mountain territory, was justified, the
Interstate Commerce Commission laid
down this significant general prin-
ciple:
If when viewed in the light Of
those considerations which enter into
proper rate-making, a particular rate
Is fair and just for the service per
formed, the price at which the ship
per markets his product cannot be
accepted as the controlling factor IN
fixing the rate"
1t Is explained that II. on account
OF an over-supply, or for any other
reason, the price falls to a low figure
In particular market, that cannot be
considered as controlling the freight
rate to that market.
The commission holds that the rail-
roads are entitled to q fair return
