name was Micaiah..
"Micalah was a man whose sermons
were not written upon the head of a

hinge on what he had to eat. The con-
dition of his cellar had nothing to do
with the liberty of his pulpit. Tis
theology and his pantry were not de.

Reserve Bank Report
Shows Conditions Good

General prosperity and good business
conditions practically throughout the
United States are indicated in the
monthly resume OF conditions by the
twelve reserve banks OF the country.
The chief lettering factors, the report
said, were slight uneasiness In the
money market, due to the Mexican sit

ficulty in obtaining raw materials; and
the freight embargoes.
Conditions in the fifth district, which
includes Washington, are reported as
generally good. Shipbuilding in Bal

Tobacco and other crops have been
hurt by frost, and seasons have been
delayed somewhat. Truck farmers, the

COTTON AFFECTED
 BY BRITISH SHAKEUP

New Orleans, December 4-Cotton was depressed on this market by selling. which had it's start in Liverpool and in the shake-up in British politics. The market was steady at the decline and acted as if the recent liquidation had cleaned 1t of it's weaker long interest. Late in the day there was less response to unfavorable news and reports of A firm and higher money market had little effect At the lowest of the day trading months were 20 to 26 points under satur- days close Reactions carried the price back to within less than 10 points of Sat urdays final figures several times and the close was at net loss of to 10 points.
 A steadying influence was talk of small ginning returns this last period and fore casts Of bullish report on ginning to- morrow by private bureau After the early decline the market had no decided tendency and did not respond freely to either bullish or bearish news. To all appearances 1t was in waiting attitude pending the coming bureau reports.

Chicago December 4.-Tightening of
 decided bearish reaction today in wheat.
 As a consequence the market closed

 High rates for money did not make
 themselves felt in the wheat mark ct
 until the last half hour of trading. Then, however, something of a stam- pede took place on the selling side and there was nearly a complete eclipse of bullish influence during the rest of the day. Lack of export demand was cou- pied With the unsettled condition of the
 money market as having much to do With the late depression in wheat Values. Previously, a sharp falling off in the United States visible supply to- tai had led to a bulge in prices, es-
 pecially as estimates were current that the amount of wheat reserve on farms was less than half the aggregate a year ago.
 The temporary upturn though had a heavy handicap in bearish conditions WhlcH gave the market weak tone at the beginning
 Absence of any sign of immediate re- lief from the scarcity of ocean vessels and from the congestion of railway facilities was among the leading fac tors at the outset in weakening the confidence of wheat holders. It was pointed out that exports of wheat of late from the United States and Can ada were only about half as large as during the corresponding period last | year Embargo moves at Washington l counted also against the bulls. | Shorts who wished to even up trades | in corn found that offerings were un- expectedly light. A consequent bulge | in prices, however, was not all held rains in Argentina having a noticeable bearish effect. Oats were governed chiefly by the action of wheat. Never
