EXPANSION CHECKED
 AT SEVERAL POINTS
Dun's Review Says Conges- tiOn of Freight Enhances
 Cost of Commodities

New York, January A.-Duns review tomorrow will say:
 Requirements are so extensive that pro- ductive and transportation facilities con- tinue inadequate to meet current de- mands.
 Congestion of freight still prevails at the seaboard, and, though railroads have made additions to rolling stock, domestic deliveries are increasingly difficult. This condition tends to further enhance the cost of commodities, while industial ex- pansion is checked at several points through inability to obtain raw materials. Except in isolated cases, there is no evil oence that high prices are as yet less eDing consumption, and it is significant that the prevailing disposition is still to contract ahead
 Many travelling salesmen are sending in larger orders than usual and in some sections, notably in the southwest for ward business is developing with excep- tlonal rapidity. This not only indicates depleted merchandise stocks in distribut- ing channels, but also affords convincing proof Of general confidence in the future. All signs point to a very active spring trade. Larger expenditures by the people are reflected in steadily improving mer- oantile collections and the number of failures diminishes the commercial mor- tality being much lighter than a year ago. Without exception important sta tical records make highly gratifying comparisons with those of earlier periods.

COLUMBUS, MISS.

 While the next regular municipal election
 does not occur until December, democratic
 homlnations, which are tantamount to
 election, are to be made at a primary
 which will be held early in the spring.
 and Capt. E. s. Donnell has already an-
 nounced his candidacy for the mayoralty.
 Captain Donnell served as chief execu-
 tive of the city for eight years, but at
 the last election was defeated by w. c.
 Gunter, the incumbent Subsequent to
 the defeat of Captain DonneI he was
 elected city marshal and tax collector,
 and there has been some speculation as
 to whether or not he would be a candi.
 date for mayor at the coming election.
 All doubt on the subject, however, had
 been dispelled by his official announce
 ment.
 It is generally understood that Mayor Gunter will be a candidate for re-elec-
 tion, and the campaign to be a most in teresting one.
 Prominent citizens are making a strong effort to induce President Wilson to in clude Columbus when making up the itin- erary for his forthcoming speech aking campaign on preparedness, and while it is realized that he will visit few cities
 as small as this, those behind the move
 ment hope that the effort which they are making to secure him will be crown ed With success. When former President Taft toured the country in 1909 he was induced to come to Columbus through the efforts of Judge J. M Dickinson, a native of Columbus, who was then mem Der of his cabinet, and as the present attorney general, T. w. Gregory, is d native of this county, it is hoped that he will persuade President Wilson to include Columbus in the itinerary of his forth coming trip.
 Constable J. T. Robson returned this morning from Birmingham, bringing with him Henry Evans, a negro, who several weeks ago made his escape from the Lowndes county farm, and who was re- l gently arrested as a suspicious character | by policemen in the Magic City.
