A BABY ON THE STEP.
An Infant of Two Months Which Had Been De- serted by Its Mother Is Found and
 Sent to the Mercy Home

A little white baby was found yester- day on door step at Mrs. Tillmans boarding house, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street. It was left there by some unknown person. The parents of the little waif are not known. The baby was sent to the Mercy Home and the police are trying to discover it's parentage.
 Just about supper time last night the diminutive specimen of humanity was deposited on the doorstep. The baby is about two months old and was neatly but not extravag gantly clad. A little wicker basket and some warm coverings protected it from the chill evening air
 Yesterday morning a woman heavily yelled came to the citys from Atlanta. She had with her a basket, a small, cheap, wicker basket, that served as a cradle for a. baby. She was driven to one of the leading hotels and left a satchel and a picture after engaging a room. She did not leave the baby and the basket, it is said, but carried the child to the Mercy Home. 1 .e child was hot received at the institution and after application at two private residences in North Birmingham the woman returned to her hotel with the baby. She engaged her driver for 1 o'clock. but when he called she sent him a message that she did not need him. At o'clock yesterday afternoon she left the hotel, taking the baby with her. The satchel and the picture were not taken away.
 Whether the baby found on Nineteenth street and the infant that was in charge of the lady at the hotel are the same is not definitely known, but it is so believed by the police. Every effort is being made to discover the child's percentage.

THINGS DRAMATIC

The Grau Opera company are giving excellent performances at O'Brien's opera house, and merit and deserve much better audiences than any that has greet ed them so far. The two houses yester- day were distressingly small, the one at night was probably due to the bad weather, but notwithstanding that the Black Hussar' and the "Beggar Stu dent" were presented in manner en- tirely satisfactory to those present.
 MT. Grau has been very fortunate in the selection of his company all the way from the leading man to the chorus girls. IA better collection of good voices has not been seen in Birmingham in a long time, the company comprising such well known and talented vocalistS as Miss Adelaide Randall. Miss Kate Trayer, MT. J. Aldrich Libby MT. Fred Frear and Miss Hattie Arnold.
 The chorus is splendid and received hearty applause.
 Herman Waldo and Tom Martin are very clever comedians, and have an orig inal way of springing old gags that make them really amusing.
 '"The Black Hussar" was played at matinee yesterday and 'The Beggar Student last night The cast for '"The Beggar Student" was as follows:
 Symon Symonavitch, a beggar student, ]. Aldrich Libbey: Janitzka. his compan- ion, Polish officer, Herman Waldo; General Ollendorf. military governor of Crakow. Fred Frear; Lieutenant Poppen- burg, Miss Kate Trayer; Mayor Holtz- burg. A. F. Arnold; Lieutenant Swartz- burg, Miss Lizzie, Sanger; Captain Holtz- hein.

THE STATE OF TRAD.
POPULAR FEELING MOVED ny THE
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Markets Do Not Act, However, ms
IL Any Rupture of the Country's
Foreign Relations Were to BE EN-
pected.

NEW YORK, December 20.-Messrs. X.
G.. Dun & Co., In their weekly review Oh
trade, will say tomorrow;
Tie failures for the two weeks OF De-
cember show Liabilities of sG,5lO,45l, against
$3.50 i01 last year. and sll,61s.956 for the
same weeks of 1898.
The failures for the week have been
81 in the United States. against Si9 last
year, and 81 in Canada, against SO last
year.
The strong Amercanism of the Presi-
dents message has given its char
acter to the week. Popular feeling
was profoundly moved. but, excepting
in the stock and cotton markets. bust
ness was remarkably dull and scarcely
affected. The selling of securities held
abroad was a natural first impulse,
though the sellers are not unlikely In
time to discover that no securities are
safer from international complications
than the American ones. Cotton has de-
clined Ia, and wheat about cents. The
markets In this country do not act
upon the theory that any rupture of for
eign relations Is TO be expected. Coming
at a time when nearly all produce mar
kets are inactive and industries dull
the disturbance has affected values much
less than might have been expected.
Not because of any foreign question,
but solely because of influences which
have been in continuous operation for
months. the prices of manufactured
goods have continued to decline. The
prices OF iron and steel have fallen about
per cent. for the week. and are now
D viz
semer pig and Grey forge and most kinds
of finished products having yielded more
or less. The purchases by the great steel
companies, II Is now evident, were much
in excess Of their actual consumption, and
ii is believed that some furnaces VIII
have to suspend production, as the de-
mand for manufactured products is too
small to support the output, estimated
for the year at 937, sT tons by the Pitts
burg American Manufacturer.
There is no change Of Importance in
the market for cotton goods. which Is
not active enough to prevent some ac-
emulation. Print cloths are a shade
weaker.
The market for woollen goods has not
improved. Sales OF wool are mainly con-
fined to the immediate needs Of manufac-
turers, who are buying but little ahead.
The imports OF woolen goods continue
very large, though smaller than a month
ago.
The movement of cotton continues COM
paratively small. but estimates Of con-
sumption here and abroad begin to take
the place in a measure OF estimates of
yield. as markets for goods are gene
rally dull There was a shade OF adj
vance in the price until foreign questions
disturbed the market, but it closed with
lac. decline.
