smallest possible expenditures.
 Tn the southern sections of the district the wholesale and jobbing trade slowed down somewhat in No Vember, due in a large measure to the lower prices of raw cotton. Sen tlment, however, is on the whole op- tlmlstlc, and producers are selling ther cotton on all advances in the market, but are disposed to hold for price In the tobacco areas busi- ness has been stimulated by the opening of the leaf markets, and prices thus far obtained in these sales are satisfactory, being in ex- cess of those realized last year. Rice IS beglnnlng to move freely, and while prices for this staple are not high, raisers are marketing their stocks and good liquidation through the rice belt is expected as result.
 Reports relative to the holiday trade varied considerably, both in reference to locality and among diff ferent stores and lines in the same cities. Manufacturers and wholesalers report that their sales of typical holiday goods were largely under normal, so that the movement over retail counters, they believe, should go far in the direction of liquidating merchandise carried over from last season. According to retailers the holiday demand centered in a more marked degree than ever before in necessities and moderate priced goods Persons making gifts were selecting useful articles rather than luxuries. This discrimination was strongly re- f1ected in sales of jewelry, candy shops, and dealers in toys, pictures, ornaments, etc. November sales of jewellers in the district show decreas- es as high as 30 per cent under the corresponding month in 1920. On the other hand haberdashers and de- partment stores report unusually large sales of articles of wearing ap- parel suitable for giving as Christ mas presents"

REPORTS BUSINESS
 ABOUT UNCHANGED
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
Of St. Louis in Monthly Report Says Tendency to EcOnOmize and Re-
 strict Purchases is Continuing.
fRY the Associated Pressl

fBy the Associated Press)
 St. Louis, Dec. 29.-The following is summary of the monthly report on business conditions issued today by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis:
 Fundamentally business conditions have not changed in any material manner in this district during the past 30 days. About the same fac tors which were noted in the pre- ceding issue of this report continued to influence trade generally, but in a greater number of instances effects of the unfavorable developments are reflected in reports made to this bank by manufacturers, merchants and agricuturists. The disposition to conservatism and economy is holding down the volume of commodities go- ing into consumption, and purchasing especially on the part of merchants, was further curtailed by the desire to enter the inventory period with as light stocks as might be safely car red. Unseasonably warm weather throughout the district, and the country as a whole, has reacted ad- versely upon sales of seasonal mer- chandise, especially heavy clothing fuel and holiday goods.
 "As has been the case for num- Der of months, the public is laying stress on quality and values and there IS distinct feeling that on certain commodities the full extent of de- cllnes has not taken place. Whereas readJustment has progressed suff- clently far to bring values to levels approXlmating those familiar prior tc the war, there is no great difficulty encountered in moving goods. Com petition continues unusually keen ir all lines and special effort is being made to reduce costs of doing busi. ness in order that goods may be placed on the market at lower prices In certain lines, notably boots and shoes, drygoods, clothing, and in a lesser degree hardware and furniture November was marked by a fair in crease in future buying. For the most part, however, merchandising holds to the necessity basis which has obtained since the reaction in gen. eral business commenced in the fal of 1920.
 Analysis of comment made by re porting interests continues to indicate that the chief cause of the present depression is the extremely low mar. ket prices of farm products as con trasted with manufactured articles Purchasing power in the farming communities has been greatly cur tailed, and farmers are taking only such things as they absolutely mus have. Plans and programs for pro ducing the next seasons crops arc being arranged with the view to the

T0LSTOY JEALOUS OF WIFE
Though She Had Much to Fo.- give in Him.

In his book Family Happiness" " Leo Tolstoy tells his own romance. He was a lifelong friend of both Mrs. and Doctor Baer, parents of Sofia Andreyevna. whom he loved ardently. Her name is indicative of her ancestry, her mother being a high-bred Russian and her father German physician.
 Sofia and her sisters were all ac- complished in household arts, as well as in the more elegant studies be fitting young women of their station in life.
 From the very first, his love for this girl, many years his junior, was strong and passionate Finally he asked her to marry him. It was his wish that the wedding take place I'm mediately, but Sofia declared that she must have rousseau first. They were ultimately married in September 1862
 Although Sofia was just as much the idealist as her husband, she was far more practical, and made a per feet wife from the domestic point of view.
 Their life was not entirely with out disillusionment. Ardently in love with his wife, Tol.toy at times exhibited insane jealousy. Unjust suspicious Were frequently mani fested, but Sofia had great wisdom and understanding, and did not lst this failing come between them. He always repented later and humbly begged forgiveness for hls rash ac- lions
