Weekly Metal Review
By Associated Press

New York December 7.-Shortage O. coal has not yet visibly affected the pro- ductiou of steel. but the possibility of curtail;nent draws nearer and the mills accept new business with considerable reserve. Demaud for semi-finished and fin- ished products is pressing and has de- veloped shortage of billet. sheets, nails and wire products generally for which premiums are freely offered, for prompt delivery Structural steel and plates are more readily obtainable. The larger pro- ducers continue to hold close to the old schedule of March 21, but these prices are not adhered to by the independents and the outside market keeps advancing.
 Iron has been climbing rapidly, but consumers are more concerned about de- livery than price. Inquiries are numor- ous, but business actually placed light Bessemer valley iron is quoted as high as $34, No. 2 foundry, Philadelphia, at SSslo, and No. 2 Birmingham. at sS5. But very little business is possible for nearby and furnaces are more reluctant than ever to quote for next year. Coke is no longer freely offered.
 The copper market is firmer at 1SAc for spot and 1sss6D1s5sc for first quarter to consumers only. Some export business has been done and domestic demand is more active.
 There is more inquiry for lead and the market is firmer Export demand for zinc fell off with the sharp drop in sterling exchange during the week, but the market is still strong
 Tin is following the London market closely and notwithstanding the weakness of exchange, tfc price in New York has held up. Spot straits is quoted strong as 5slk654c, and shipments at the latter figure.
 There has been comparatively little de- mand during the past two days.
 Anthony is strong and active, with no sellers below 9c for round lots.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Pres,

New Orleans, December 7.-Conflict- ing influences made for irregular price changes in the cotton market last week, so that the net results on the close were losses of 5s points to gains of 1O5 points. At the highest levels the trad ing months were 136 to 164 points above the close of the preceding week and at the lowest levels they were s to 5S points under. At the highest, Decem- Der traded at 3s.51c, the highest con- tract price ever made in this market.
 The coal strike, bearish private gin- hing reports, unfavorable political news and the weakness of foreign ex- change were the main selling influences of the week while buying was encour- aged by the continued firmness of spots and reports from the interior that sup plies of the better grades were nearly exhausted at many points. as well as by access of huge business being done by all mills In this country and in Eng land.
 This week will open with the census bureau reports on ginning to the first of December and expectations are that the returns will be full opinion having been shaped by private bureau reports of s,Ooo,O00 bales as the output which. it was claimed, indicates total crop oI 1lzUVVU paIeS. FlgureS aooVe this level probably would lead to much sell ing while figures below would prob ably create buying movement
 After the census report is out of the way the main concern of the trade will be the annual estimate of the size of the crop by the department of agriculture, which is due Thursday. This is gen erally regarded as the most important bureau report of the season, and itsis almost sure to be followed by heavy trading and wide fluctuations. As sen timent now goes, the average expecta- tion probably is for crop of around 10.75e,0oo bales of 500 pounds. gross weight bales

 According to Jesus Christ the great thing was to give them the message" he said, land then feed them afterwards. It's a story told four times in the New Testa- ment and therc is no real contradiction in any of them. It was in the days of Christ's popularity. when the people were giving up everything and going miles to see this marvellous preacher.
 ''As he went about teaching and heal- ing, the wise men got their heads to- gether and talked about the miracles he was performing, and they came to the Lord and said, This is a desert place and the time is far past. Send the people away and He said, They need not de-
