Of Mobile and w, H, Pickens Of Birming
BAN won every iraeein which they start

rooms, which will be fitted up for the Of
ficers and various committees Of the con-
vention. On both sides of the platform
are located telegraph offices for the gem
eral use Of the members Of the conven-
ton.
While the main entrance is on Sixty
third street, leading into the grand re-
ception hall, private entrances have been
provided for members of the committees
and for the small army of newspaper
men who will be present. '
The grand public reception hall will
witness many spirited scenes and cannot
fail to play an important part in the his
tory of the convention. Here is a great
hall $50 feet square, large enough to COM
fortably hold 10000. This Is where dele
gates, alternates and spectators will
mass before the sessions are called to
order. Viewed from the wide galleries
above, the scene will be an inspiring one.
On this floor the campaign orator who
has been denied a seat as a delegate can
harangue to his hearts content until the
convention Is called to order. On this
broad floor the marching club with it's
gay banners and imported military band
will be in all its glory.
The Coliseum is easily the largest build
ing under a single roof I'M the world. The
trusses span 215 feet at their base, and at
their apex are nearly 100 feet from the
floor. Every piece of metal has been
thoroughly inspected and tested. The
building is all of steel, Iron and glass,
with the exception of the floor, and is
as nearly fireproof as modern science can
make it,
Like the convention hall at st. Louis,
the Coliseum had a battle with the ele-
ments in the early part of its career, and
the structure, which at that time had
only reached the first story, was almost
completely blown down. This happened
seven or eight months ago, but the con-
fr-an ~
cheerfully gave bonds to the tune of $780,
900 to the democratic national committee
to have the building ready in time for
the convention. They have fulfilled their
side of the contract and the $4,000 is in
no danger of finding it's way into the cof-
fers of the national committee.
The latter has engaged a handsome
suite of rooms at the Palmer house, and
it Is there that the preliminary business
of the convention will be attended to.

SHUTDOWN INEVITABLE.
More Than the Requisite Number of SpindIes
Sign Enlargement Secretary How
ard to the Operatives.

Fall River, Mass, July 8.-The follow
ing official letter regarding the closing of
the cotton mills. in New England was
given out this afternoon by Secretary
Rounseville of the Fall River Cotton
Manufacturers association:
Boston, Mass, July 3, 1S96.-The COM
mittee appointed on the 25th to inquire
whether the cotton manufacturers of New
England would generally cooperate in a
movement to curtail production during
the months of July and August would re-
port that agreements to curtail have been
drawn up, and have been signed by the
managers of over 100000 spindles in
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, besides which there are enough
spindles now running short time in New
England and the middle states to bring
the aggregate up to over 100000 spindles.
"A telegram received this date from
Charlotte, N. c., says that at meeting
of southern manufacturers held June 20
resolutions were passed urging mill own
ers to reduce production so per cent in the
next two months, and 100 establishments
have already acquiesced in this stoppage.

Chairman.

ITO William c. Lowering, President of

Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-07-04

Secretary Howard of the Spinners'
union has issued a circular letter to spin
ners bearing ON the proposed curtailment
of production. Among other things he
says:
Being on the eve of general shut
down of the mills we deem 1t advisable
to inform you that rule q, relating to
stoppage, reads: THAT in the event of
majority of the mills being shut down
the rule shall stand suspended.
Therefore, whoever may be in receipt
of stoppage pay when the majority of the
mills shut down will not be entitled to
any. more pay under said law until the
mills resume steady work and the law is
putin force again.
1.-THE officers are quite willing to do
without salaries for the time the mills
are stopped and close the offices up If 1t
Is agreeab BILE to members.
Husband your resources and live with
in your means. Make the best invest
ment you can of the leisure time at your
disposal during the next two months, and
we can see no better way of doing this
than by keeping temperate and enjoying
all the social and physical recreation pos
sible. By acting in this way you will re-
cuperate your wasted energies and lay
by an abundance of health, which Is
more valuable than gold, by the time the
mills resume regular work again."

BANKS GET BETTER RATES.
They Are Not Lending as Much Money as Last
Year, However European Investments
Are Increasing.

New York. July 3.-The New York
Financier says this week:
The principal items in the statement of
the associated banks of New York for
five days ending July were the increase
of 81 OH, 900 in cash and the expansion of
$1,200.000in loans. The July settlements
have Influenced the totals. to greater or
less extent, and the increase of $2,072, 200
in deposits probably resulted from the
shifting of funds incident to this period.
The increase in loans was a favorable
feature but 1t reflected stock exchange
transactions as much as anything else,
and the statement as a whole must be in
terpreted as the result of averages made
earlier in the week and not as an exhibit
of the banks real condition on the day
the statement was made public.
tits noteworthy ofremafkthattheb banks
suffered decided loss in cash as COM
pared with gain of oyer 81, 100000 during
the previous week, and since the prices
of domestic exchange at interior points
have shown a decided falling off the lat
ter factor is to be taken. as indicating a
partial cessation of the movement which
has been going on since early this season,
and which has added SO largely to the
amount of cash in the banks. The move
ment from the interior last year, judging
from the increase of cash holdings,
seemed to have been well sustained until
later in the season, the total specie and
legals as late as August amounting to
about $1S5, 900, 900, after which there was
rapid decline, lasting well toward the
end of the year. The movement from
the interior last year, however, was
larger than noted this season, and the
different totals also heavier. Despite the
fact that the New York banks are not
lending so much money as at this time
last year, they are getting better rates
for 1t, and they are not paying interest
on so much idle cash lying In vaults as
was the case twelve months ago. The
rates for funds appear to be well sus-
tanned, and nothing indicates a change to
less firm basis. u. a~.ss.>.
The falling off in gold exports appears
to be the result of legitimate conditions.
Europe bought more American securities
in New York last week than for months
past. .ssHff
