4 GREAT COTTON MARKET. Is What Birmingham Has AL
 ready Become. MORE THAN 100000 BALES Will Be Brminghams Cotton Receipts This Year-That Means s3, coo 100 to Be
 Psl1 For Cotton in This Market

Who ever thought of Birmingham as g. cotton town-a full-fedged cotton town? Mobile, Montgomery and Selma are spoken of as cotton towns, and few peo- pie realize that Birmingham Is a cotton town (not will be, but is), and with a good claim to the title.
 The cotton business in Birmingham has been increasing steadily and quickly Last season Birmingham ranked fourth In Alabama for cotton receipts, follow ing Mobile, Montgomery and Selma, with receipts amounting to ST per cent. of the total crop of the state. It is probable that the season now opening will see Bir- mingham in third place.
 Following is 8 summary of the cotton crop for the past six years, beginning with the season of 1S91-2, showing also Birmingham's cotton receipts since that time, together with the number of cotton buyers in business.

small business. and the next season 1t was moved to Mobile.
 During the season of 1ssS-4 a compress was iocaIted at Twenty seventh street and First avenue. It was an old-sty9e press. with a capacity of only 300 bales per day. It was burned down Thanks giving Day. 1895. and it's weather-stsdned machinery is now familiar landmark to the patrons of the East Lake electric road.
 Since 1s94-e5 Birmingham has had two congresses in operation. The railroad compress. Thirty-ffth street and Ave- nue A is a 90-inch Morse press. and is operated by Smith & Coughlan. and Johnston, Nesbitt & Go. It does work equal to that of any press in the state and has a capacity of 1000 bales per day. with a storage room for 100000 bales.
 The Birmingham compress, operated by the Howell Cotton Company and San- ders, Swan & Company, is 73-inch Ty- Ter press, and is located on the corner of Morris avenue and Twenty-fourtii street It's capacity is 800 bales per day. with a storage room for 5000 bales. Since their erection, both congresses have run continuously with a steadily increasing business.
 The oldest cotton firm here, Smith & Coughlan, was established when Bir- mingham received but 5000 bales of cot ton, and has remained here continuously ever since.
 It is largely due to the push and en- terprise of this firm that the cotton busi- ness in Birmingham has been built up to its present proportions. Last yeas n, out of receipts of 80,000 bales, Smith & Cough Ian bought 50,000 bales.
 Last fall the Howell Cotton Company of Birmingham, succeeded the Howell Cotton Company of Mississippi, which had an office here for the two previous years. MT. John Wade, the president of the company, is a young Georgian.
 s. M. Inman & Co.,, established an of flee here five years ago, but the follow ing year, 1S93-94, they were not repre- scented. They are now succeeded by Sanders, Swan & Co.,, with MT. J. B. Harris as local manager. Mr. Harris was local manager for Inman & Co.,, for the season of 1S94-95.
 Johnston, Nesbitt 6 Co.,, are a new firm from Meridian, Miss. MT. ". D. Nesbitt, resident member of the firm, is well known in Birmingham, having es- tablished Inman & Co.'S office here in 1S92-93.
 | The competition among the various buyers promises to be very brisk. Bir- minghams cotton receipts the coming season will exceed 100, GOO bales.

Car of Wood Burned.

Shortly after o'clock last night the fire department was called to the Ala bana Great Southern shops by a tele- phone alarm and the blowing of nu- merous whistles. Their services were not needed as the shop fire department succeeded in extinguishing the flames discovered in a car of wood before any damage was done. The fire was started by a spark from a passing locomotive. The car was one that had been con demned and its contents were worth less.
