DEMAND IN EXCESS .OF SUPPLY SAYS DUN Business Good, Especially in Industrial Secti0ns-Big
 Christmas Trade

New York. December 10.-Dun's review
 tomorrow will say:
 There is no longer complaint of deferred
 huving. but of difficulty in meeting the
 steadily expansion requirements. con
 sumptiye demand exceeds supply in some lines and distributing channels are op-
 structed by the congestion of freight, rall
 and over-sea shipping facilities still pe- ing inadequate to cope with the rush ol
 traffic This tends to act as a brake on commercial progress, yet the forward movement has not perceptibly slackened either in domestic or foreign commerce On the contrary, exports, in spite or the shortage of vessels and other obstacles, continue in notably heavy volume, while internal trade is further swelled as the holiday season approaches. Development of Christmas business fulfills the most op- timistic expectations, and the greater spending power of the masses is demon- strated both by the magnitude of the purchases and the preferNnce shown rom the more costly grades Of merchanulse. This condition is general, every impor- tant center reporting marked growth In retail dealings, but it is most apparent in the sections where the industrial boom has given employment to thousands of men that were formerly idle. Moreover, in many instances increased wages oper- ate to offset the enhanced cost of com modities, and it is of significance in this connection that the rise in foodstuffs has been pronounced than in other ar ticles Because of the continued broad ening of consumptive requirements whole 1 sale prices are now at the highest level l in nearly half century and of late l the advance has been particularly striking | in iron and steel. where activity is upr abated.

WEEKLY REPORT OF THE COTTON MARKET
Fluctuations Due Largely to Estimates of Crop by
 Government

New York, December 1o,-Fluctuations week have appeared largely due to an adjustment of accounts inspired by the two government reports The census fig ures on Wednesday, showing, 9,nlNO bales ginned prior to December l were considered in line with the smallest esti- mates of the yield, but had been pre- ceded by a considerable advance and shortly after their publication the mar ket showed gain of approximately N per bale from the low level of Novem- Der, with March contracts selling at 13e This proved the signal for heavy realizing with the disposition to take profits probably increased by lingering uncertainty as to the exact showing of today's official crop estimate, and there were reactions of several points from the best with today's market rather nerv- ous and unsettled The government re- port indicating a yield for the season of 11,161OO0 bales of 800 pounds gross, excluding interss was very closely in line with expectations and was imme- diately followed by a further break of about 10 points this afternoon but at a decline of about s1.S5 from the high prices of Wednesday the market was steadied by active foreign and trade buy ing. The, chief buying on declines during the entire week has been attributed to houses with Liverpool connections. Ear Her in the season Liverpool was heavy seller here against purchases in the Eng fish market at a time when the two markets were much closer together. Meanwhile, stocks of cotton in Liverpool have been drawn down with this week S private advices estimating that 60 per cent of the remaining supply has all ready been sold to spinners and the diff ferences between the two markets have widened fully cent pound.

 Situation in Months WEST WILL PROFIT
 AHEAD OF THE EAST Development of Electric Energy From Water Will Be Among
 the First Great Pro-
 jects Undertaken
By HOLLAND

New York, December 10-(Special) The December circular which was is sued by the National City bank caused more discussion and entailed greater in terest than any of the earlier periodical publications by this institution All the earlier circulars have been of value be- cause of the information and the coun- sel which they have contained, but the December issue is made at time when it is possible not only to report facts and statistics which reach into the bil- lions, but also to explain the meaning which lies behind these facts and sta- tistics
 The meaning seems to be that the man. agers of this institution now one of the first six or seven of the larger banks in the world, are persuaded that although constructive undertakings upon large scale do not as yet characterize the sit uation, nevertheless the promise is ex- cellent that in due time and when there has been perfect adjustment of these unparalleled conditions, capital is to be invested in enormous amounts in the exploitation of our natural resources, the expanding of our industries and prob
 
 culture. The observation has been made by some who read this circular care fully that one condition which is with out any precedent, at least recently, and which seems to show inconsistency, is the fact that notwithstanding the uplift in industry and trade, which in the ag- gregate is represented by very large fig ures, nevertheless there is little or no unusual demand for money.
 The lattarS which were written hV hllsi- ness men and bankers of the northwest to the federal reserve bank at Minneapo- lis, all of them under date of November, speak of the abundance of money in the banks of the northwest and the swift increase in these deposits. Notwithstand- ing the sudden and very large improve ment in business conditions in that re- zion which began in November there is, relatively speaking small demand for funds. It is commonly believed that with acceleration of commercial inn pulses there comes increased demand for money. That, however, is not the case at present. Probably one reason is to

View Opposite to That of Arlie Barber Regarding
 POliceman's Honor
CHIEF OF POLICE
 REFUSES TO INFORM
"A Policeman Has as Much Right to Keep His Word of Honor as Anyone Else" Declares
 Judge Green

Anniston, December 1O.- Especially J. F. Green, recorder of the city of Anniston, attorney and former justice of the peace here, holds an opinion dia- metrically opposed to that recently voiced by Commissioner Arlie Barber Of Birmingham in regard to the .invio- liability of a policemans oath, holding that an officer should not disclose the name of the person informing him of violations of the law.
 "A policeman has just as much right to keep his word of honor as anyone else,'' said Judge Green. If he receives information from an outside source that will help him capture or detect criminals, this court certainly will not expect him to make known the name of the person who gave him the in formation.
 This ruling was made in the case of Paul Markovitz, who was charged with conducting a disorderly house. Chief of Police L. l.. Phillips declined to dis close the name of the person who gave him the discriminating evidence, and he was upheld in this act, for which 'Bir- mingham detectives were discharged.
