The first hand facts, brought by Dr. Kuppin will be oi iutense interest, not only to the preat body of Jews Jititig in Ununited States, but to the think-ing public which has been closely watching the Palestine experiment. Dr. Ituppin reports that sine the British occupation the Jews of the world have xienrtrd in Palestine, of which tlx American Keren Hayesod has con tributed approximately IS, OH, 000.

Since the occupation, he says, the Jewish population hap. m-crensed SO. 003 net, which represents an increase of almost per cent, and that new Jewit-h inhabitants, largely from Ku-rope, are coming in at the rate ot about 10,000 a year. He wants the number raised to SO. 00 annually but he concedes that this figure cannot be reached until opportunities for permanent employment can be furnished for the newcomers.

To provide for 6,000 Jewish families a year, he says will be required. Dr. Ruppin reports that of the 100,000 Jews now in Palestine more than two-thirds are genuinely productive, that 20,000 living in the colonies depend chiefly on agriculture, and that the lattei have far outstripped the Arabs in the raising of produce, beciuse they employ modern methods and use up-to-date machinery. Jn this as in other development the Keren Hoyesod has lead in finance, tducation and canitation. During the last year 10,009 acres of rlrultureal land were acquired and are being rapidly developed.

Palestine now has among other advantages a General Mortgage Bank, a fine school system, a university and a librcry system, and under the concession granted by the Government to Pincug Ku ten-berg, the Jewish Engineer, ha? al-ready built the first hydraulic station, which supplies light and power to the cities of Jaffa and Tel Aviv. The report chows thai enormous constructive strides havt been made and that Palestine has passed from an experimental into a permanent stage which needs but the application of funds, plus the Intelligent management now being applied, to make it all that th Jews of the world expect it to be. sisters, Mifcs Laura Jones of Memphis, Miss N. jon-s of Savannah and Mrs. C.

O. lenes of Monignmery. DINNER GIVEN FOR DEMOCRATS WASHINGTON, D. Dec. 24.

(Special The meeting of democracy's leaders here in January will not be preceded by the usnal democratic "love feait the Jackson day dinner. The dinner has been given up this year, largely because the idea of holding the usual get-together' pood will banquet seernt to make no appeal to democrats. There was no enthusiasm for it and a good many arsuments were advanced against it, beneelt was abandoned. For one thing, it was reported that James M. Cox, democratic presidential nominee in 19 JO intended to announce his candidacy at the Jackson day dinner here January 8S.

It is now understood that Cox will speak at a Jackson day feast in Columbus. and reports here are that he will throw his hat in the ring at that time. Democratic leaders here decided that there was too much danger that rival groups in the demo-racy might clash if the dinucr was held. Not only was there the danger that rival candidacies might involve trouble, but he-wet and dry issue, the question ot American participation in Europe, and lesser issues on which the democracy it not a unit seemed certain to intrude themselves upon the feast. When the report about Cox gained currency here every effort was made to huth It.

Even now there is much mystery about it and none of Cox's friends here would admit today that there asj any truth in it. In (act, the whole matter was mysterious and dehocrats Were unwilling to talk about it. Colonel Robert Harper, leading local democrat, repeated the season be pave yesterday, for abandoning the dinner. He said there wosn't time enough to make arrangements. Harper's exlanation, however, caused other democrats lo smile, as the Jackson affair has been a regular function and in years when the democratic national committee was meetirg here, (he dinner was an event of some importance.

The committee is to meet here January 15 to select the 19 2 4 convention city and fix tahe date.

Dec. 21. 1923. Durinc the past week, the market has been quiet and devoid of real interest. Holiday dullness appear' ed at the beginning of the week and has rather increased as time went on.

The trade appear inclined ol rest and lake account of stock before entering; into, fresh commitments, a very natural reeling al this season or the year. On Ibcrsday appeared the eensm bureau report on the amount ot cotton sinned to December 13th, ths figures, 9,548,805 bales, vonfirmins the final government estimate oi last week. This report was slightly higher than the trade had expected, but it was so nearly In linfl that the market recovered after a moment's hesitation. The ginning is heavier than was the ease last season this time, but this is due to the had weather earlier in the fall. The constant rains delayed the salherin's and sinning; of the crop so that the comparison with last year's figures can easily prove misleading- Liverpool reports a better ton, asain in the Manchester market, which is recovering from the shock of the recent general election.

It would appear that all parties are agreed as to the inadvisability of another Reneral election at this time. It is expected that when parliament meets some means will be devised for carrying on the government without another election, jf laxt for a period of some month This is favorable for trade which is always adversely affected by political excitement.
