BOHEMIAN SUFFERINGS
RAPIDLY INCREASING

ZURICH, Oct. 25.--In a recent issue
of the Swiss Catholic organ, Der Kat
holik' remarkable reports are publish
ed from some ''Old Catholic" parishes
in Bohemia. One of them, from a
place On the German frontier says:
"Our oldest people, who hitherto
have been able &c ward off death, are
now oollapsing Ike flies. And really
theirs is the better part, for the Angel
of Death releases them from all the
sorrows and pains and terrible strug-
giles Of these dark and comfortless
days. But what is to become of us
if the deaths and losses continue at
the present rate? In the first half of
this yea we had A deaths and only
IA births, as compared with So death
and 80 birth in the last year before
the war.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, November s24.-Apart from the money market, which yielded none of it's stringent conditions and the oc- casional interest manifested in Wash- ingtons programme of reduced taxation, all considerations and developments Of the week were submerged in the nation wide readjustment incidental to the vir- tual termination of the war.
 This transitory stage has already be- gun to exert its potent influence in many branches of industry and commerce and it's effect upon the financial markets was most obvious in g further irregular reduction of quoted values, together with a pronounced diminution of operations.
 The cautious attitude of corporate in terests towards peace problems found expression in several announcements Of reduced or suspended dividends. Trade authorities dilated upon the doubtful results of war contract cancellations, especially in the steel industry, where the labor situation came in for more serious discussion.
 Rails averaged moderate recessions and shippings lost ground on federal opposition to the mercantile marine deal. aput oils most often ran counter to the general trend. their strength being large- ly derived from the more favorable aspects of the Mexican situation.
 Low priced motors and copperS weak ened as result of recognized condi- ttons in those trade and the progress or prohibition legislation in Congress was marked by general reaction in distil- ling and kindred stocks.
 The governments control of the cables eurtaled dealings in foreign exchange to nominal proportions, rates on London easing slightly. while remittances to neutra1 points were variably higher

Weekly Metal Review

New York, November 24.--Cancella- tion of government orders for steel re- ported last week was extensive. Con- tracts recently placed on which Httia work has been done were chiefly af- fected, including orders for she'll steelo, railroad supplies for@ geenraI Persh- ing, and barbed wire. Orders already terminated are estimated at nearly $1.- 000,000 in value. Movement abroad of war steel will be subordinated to food shipments, manufacturers were toiG. Allocations of pig iron are declining, but the bulk of tonnage already dis tributed will probably stand
 These changes have caused no seri- ous disturbance of the industry so far. Removal of restrictions on non-war in- dustries and building and cancellation of priority ratings are stimulating peace demand which is expected to re- place business cut off.
 No large inquiry has appeared, but preparations are under way tc resume normal manufacture of automobiles. agricultural implements, tin plate and other commodities requiring steel. Wire mills are rapidly switching to peace basis, while rail mills have largo bookings carried over from before the war. Plane mills are continuing on war busness. Structural business Is light but gradual improvement is an- ticipated. Export demand is beginning to be felt
 Control of copper holds until Janu- ary l, and may be extended. Pro- ducers are reported to be planning combination for export under the Webb law. Temporarily the market,is quie.
 Lead is unchanged. Spelteris some- what firmer Tin is dull and eaesy. the spot price ranging nominally from 72 to 73 cents. The market is dom- mated by government control

Clanton. November 24.-(Special) The Clifton County Teachers institute closed after quite a successful four days instruction for the eighty-fivs teachers in attendance.
 Prof. R. E. Dickson. one of the mem- bers of the next legislature from Jef- ferson county, had charge of the insti- tute, and was ably assisted by Miss Elberts Taylor of Birmingham.
 Miss Sarah Luther of the department of education visited the institute tho latter part of the week and addressed the teachers on the paramount import Dnce of removing illiteracy from Chil- ton county. She created more inter- est and enthusiasm on this subject than any teacher who has visited the county in recent years.
 R. H. Mangum of Selma, who is now travelling over the state in behalf of the conservation of food for the stary- ing millions of people in the world, delivered an address to the members of the institute and visitors Friday on the conservation of food.

New Orleans Cotton

l New Orleans, November 24.-Whils
 the price of cotton moved over range of nearly three cents a pound on the | active positions last week, the net change was slight, running from 10 1 points off to S2 points rr rar----zs. with the final quo egla If sN2 ceeding week. CI tEo ELEM ysa there was disr 9sIslan ~ s1 6 the continued clairi fsesH th mEerga9 of the belt that spol heaaas MS &efA toward the end of Lha weak 8Aa N and cold weather created something of a demand and the announcemnt from Washington that the war restrictions on exports of cotton to friendly coun- tries would be removed on December 2, stimulated bullish feeling Selling was held down by the government re- stricticns against short sales, but there were times when offerings were very liberal as the result of liquidation from the long side.
 According to private advices from the interior, spot buyers found 1t diff ficult to operate because of the refusal
 of holders to meet the market Tns
 attitude of spot owners caused the
 premium on spots as compared with
 future to persist. The ginning returns
 from the census bureau showing an
 output for this last period between
 the first and mbdle of November of
 only SS7,39Q bales against 1, f,420,s61 dur
 ing the same period last year, created
 nervousness among the traders who
 have persisted in entertaining notions
 of fairly large crop, thereby
 strengthening the position of spot holders
 Total exports from all United States
 ports this week amounted to 65.261
 bales during the proceeding week, The
 export situation during the week to
 come is likely to be the main feature
 of interest, since the market shows
 a constrant inclination to draw farther
 and farther away from the war influ-
 ences that have dominated 1t for sev-
 eral years It is generally claimed that
 should a sopt demand of any conse-
 quence develop in anticipation of the
 coming change in the export situation,
 traders for higher levels would have a distinct and decided advantage. and
 one which they would naturally be ex-
 pected to make instant use of.
