The Worlds s Markets
Weekly Financial Review

New York. January 1.-The para IT cunt influence last week in the stock market was the formal address of the governor of the federal reserve bank to the bankers at Washington dis couraging "unessentia1 loans"
 At first blush Wall street accepted this as plain intimation that the central bank purposed erecting addi- tional barriers against trading in se- curities. Supplementary statements, however indicated that the warning vas equally applicable to excessive operation in all classes of commod- fties.
 Conservative financial interests have long discussed the urgent need of cur tailing speculation in foodstuffs, cot ton and other leading products as one direct method of rLiucing commodity costs.
 To that extent the more rigid atti- tude of the reserve board met with general approval
 The weeks trading on the stock ex- change may be summarized in the brief statement that dealings were ir- regular. when not absolutely heavy and in greatly reduced volume. The only noteworthy changes occurred in shares under direct patronage of pro- fessional interests.
 Fresh reacuonary tendencies were manifested by foreign exchange. espe- cially the London rate. Various in- ternational loans are known to be in course of negotiation. but such under takings are expected to assume the form of commercial credits.
 investment conditions gave no sign of awakening from their long-sus- tained torpor but there is growing belief that first indications of an agreement by Congress on railroad legislation would be completed by broad inquiry for transportation se- curities.
 In the opinion of economists the chief drawback lies in the continued high level of prices. these in almost every instance exceeding maximum quotations of 1919.

IT N an address prepared for and deliv- \ cred at the annual meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engi- neers in Savannah, Ga, in December Richard K Meade, of Baltimore, pre- sented a list of mineral deposits in the southern states and described their rela- tion to the opportunities for the develop ment of the chemical industries.
 His address covered the whole field of mineral resources, and also outlined the labor, transportation, power and other conditions affecting industrial develop ment in the south along chemical lines.
 The list of mineral deposits covers al- most the entire range of minerals, many of which are found in Alabama, among them the following:
 Asphalt, in Franklin and Colbert coun- ties: barite, in Calhoun and Jefferson counties; Bauxite, in Cherokee and Cal houn counties; common pottery clay, ln Barbour, Elmore and Autauga counties; white clay, (for pottery, paper, etc); kaolin, in DeKalb, Cherokee, Colbert Etowah and Talladega counties; field spar, in Coosa county.
 Glass-sand, in Jefferson county; Gra hamite, in Randolph county; graphite, in Clay Chiffon, Coosa and Tallapoosa counties: halloysite, in DeKalb Jackson and Shelby counties; mica, in Clay, Ran dolph and Cleburne counties; red and brown, ocher, in Etowah county; yellow ocher, in Elmore, Autauga, Fayette, Ma rion and Tuscaloosa counties; phosphate rock, in Limestone county; pyrite, in Clay and Limestone counties; quartz and silica, in Jefferson county; sienna, m Cherokee county; warlite, in St. Clair county.
 Of the minerals nmed the following are being mined in quantities: Barite, bauxite, common pottery clay and white clay kao- lin, feldspar, graphite, halloysite, mica, red and brown ocher, yellow ocher, phos- phate rock, quartz and silica.
 The following have been abandoned: Asphalt, Grahamite, pyrite in Clay county.
 The following occur in apparently com commercial quantities but are not mined Glass-sand, sienna and Warlite.
 The list mentioned by MT. Meade does not include coal, iron, limestone, marble, gas oils, gold and silver Coal and iron and limestone, as everybody knows, have been developed on an extensive scale, especially in the Birmingham district while gold has been mined in Cleburne county for more than half a century, and at the present time score or more wells

Well, Well, Well, Boys and Girls,
better get busy and make your entries
in the Pioneer Corn Grow ing Contest
for 1920. Better make your entries

minute and then probably lose out as
some did last season. Join the Club
today.
The Ladies Aid apron sale last Sat-
urday was well p~atronized and they
succeeded in disposing of practically
| all of their wares at good prices. Many
went there to eat sandwiches, coffee
and doughnuts. The receipts Of the
day totaled something over eighty
dollars, so we are told.
What was perhaps the heaviest
snow that has fallen here during the

evening and continuing undated until
Monday evening, and then showing

That big snow this week is worth

who had a lot of thin stock, no shelter
and little or no feed.
