CHURCHES WILL
HOLD MORNING
SERVICE SUNDAY
Board Of Health MOdlfies Ban COndi-
tiOns In Order That Churches May
Open For One Hour Sun
day Morning.,

The City oBard of Health held a
meeting this morning to discuss the
modification of the influenza ban that
has been in force in this city the past
five weeks.
County Health officer Locke was
present and reported that there had
been fifty-two new cases developed in
this jurisdiction up to last night,
nineteen of them being in Maysville,
and no reports were received from a
number of physicians, which would
make it appear that there were more
than the number reported.
After considering the situation for
some time, the Board concluded to
make the following order effective for
churches only:
That beginning Sunday morning,
November II, churches may hold one
service in the morning under the fol-
lowing conditions: All persons who
have had influenza, cold, or sore
throats, or persons who are in homes
where case of influenza, cold or sore
throat now exists, be requested to not
attend. No children shall attend un-
til further notice. No Sunday School
or night service shall be permitted.
Upon the workings of this trial will
result in a measure the next step of
the Health Board toward further mod
ifcation.
1t is now up to the people to see
that the order of the Board is car
ried out and prevent any ill-effects
from the opening of the churches.

THE LOOSE LEAF
SALES OPENING
STILLIN DOUBT
Nothing to Warrant the Talk Of This
Market Opening at the Time Set
By the D0pesters.

Rumors flew thick and fast yester-
day as to the probable opening of the
Maysville Loose Leaf Tobacco Mar
ket, but Secretary John C. Rains could
give no official Information as to the
actual time
1t was reported from what is claim
ed reliable sources that one ware
house man said he was going to open
his house on December LIST, no matter
what the other warehousemen did.
No official reports have been receiv-
ed from other markets as to probable
date of opening.
1t is now thought by some that since
the draft calls have been cancelled
there will be sufficient buyers releas-
ed to supply the markets, but as the
Southern markets are month behind
in their sales the large buyerfs claim
they will not abandon them and come
| North.
And as the prices are now on a
slight downward trend, 1t is judged
that the farmers will not care if the
market does not open before the sec
ond or third week in December.
According to the following article,
taken from yesterdays Cincinnati En-
quirer, hurley prices have begun a
decline:
An unmistakable downward trend
in tobacco prices is indicated by the
report of leaf tobacco sales in Ken
lucky markets during the month of
October, 1918. The record, however,
is not true barometer of actual trade
conditions, inasmuch as sales were in
terrupted to a great extent by the pre-
valent influenza epidemic, which
brought about a decrease of 1,17S.OSO
pounds in the total Offering of old crop
stock for the month, as compared with
the preceding month of September.
Compared with the corresponding
month last year, however, sales of old
tobacco show an increase of 47O.52O
pounds. The average price paid was
$5.14 less than in September, but
S1O.7S per 100 pounds greater than for
the corresponding month last year.
| Offerings of new 1918 crop tobacco
made an increase over September of
9O,S75 pounds, and and an increase
over the corresponding month last
year of 96,7S5 pounds. The October
average price for new tobacco was
S1O.74 greater than for the preceding
month, but this was due to the pre-
ponderance of high-priced hurley in
the aggregate offerings. The latter in
creased. but $1.96 per 100 pounds and
fell considerably under the high aver
ages which prevailed during the sum-
mer months for 1917 crop tobacco. Ex-
perienced tobacco men predict, how
ever, that prices will become steadiel
when the offerings increase. Fired
dark tobacco on neY crop stock de.
creased $5.19, one-sucker decreased
1929 and fire dark increased 46 cents
per 100 pounds, respectively
