BUSINESS LIVELY
 FOR THANKSGIVING Both Wholesale and Retail Men Well Pleased With
 Volume of Trade

Both wholesale and retail merchants of Birmingham have enjoyed an excellent Thanksgiving trade. and sales have reached large proportions. The retail CTS express great satisfaction in regard to the heavy business transacted this week. Yesterdays trade was especially brisk in the downtown section, and throngs of shoppers were in evidence throughout the day. The meat and produce establish ments were plenteously supplied and stands and stalls gayly bedecked with fancy fruits and vegetables. As the day advanced the retail trade became more brisk, and deliveries were pushed with vigor.
 Most of the retail and wholesale houses of the city will be closed by noon today, and some will close earlier.
 Prices in all markets are firm and busi- ness in most lines brisk.

DECIDED REVIVAL OF EXPORT DEMAND Wheat Bears Not Allowed to Take Advantage of
 Peace RumOrs

Chicago November 25-Bearish esti- mates of the Argentine exportable sur plus acted as a weight on wheat today. but were offset in part by decided re- vival of export demand. Prices at the close were unsettled at the same as last night to 14q5sc down. Corn declined ts@24c to 191sc net, and oats 1sa9sc Provisions finished unchanged to Soc lower.
 Wheat bears were not slow to take ad- vantage of peace rumors and of author itative reports that the worlds winter crop of 1915 would be the largest in the countrys history. The decline was not checked until a leading expert largely discredited the reports of a large Ar genuine surplus.
 Fine weather and more liberal receipts made corn heavy throughout Prices seemed to have no rallying power.
 Oats were relatively firm on an active foreign demand.
 Packers selling lowered provisions.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. November 25-(Special.) .)--Liv. erpool continues to hold very bearisf opinions regarding the course of prices and they naturally came lower this morn ing under that view. They feel the in. fluence of a possible interruption of traf- fic with India through the Suez canal because the best customers of Manchester are India and the east. In our own mar ket the small investment demand has proved greater than the liquidation of the December contracts, and the small short interest in the market has covered be- fore the Thanksgiving holiday. There seems to be quite an investment demand on any decline in price.
