In Morris Avenue

The new crop of oats, hay and corn is shipments have reached Birmingham within the last day or two. In conse- quence all of these important products have dropped in price, as will be seen in the local market report. Corn has dropped about 2 cents, hay from 50 cents to $l, and oats about cents. This reduction will greatly increase the business, it is said for the buyers have been hanging back re- gently waiting for the prices to drop.
 The watermelon crop in North Alabama was more or less of failure this year, on account of the drouth earlier in the sea- son, as was the canteloupe crop. It takes "water to make a watermelon" For this reason Birmingham is still importing the 1oupes being consumed here. These ship ments are still being made from South Ala bama and Georgia, and although of no special quality are sold readily at prices from 10 to 15 cents.
 Oklahoma is now said to be the finest and most prolific watermelon and cantaloupe section of the country, even surpassing south Georgia and Alabama. Their crop is just now coming on the market, and all of them are shipped to the central and northern states. None of them come South. The climate in that territory is especially favorable for melon growing, as they have plenty of rain while the melons are grow

NEXT MEET AT

 Sport Promised.

The Birmingham Cycle Racing associa- tion will hold its next meeting at the West End park Wednesday and Thursday nights. An extremely interesting programme has been arranged and Manager Snyder said yesterday that he was confident that some records would be broken during the meet.
 Among the special events will be an at tempt by Joe Riddle to lower the track record for the mile of 2:O3 and fraction, made few weeks ago by Ped Hickman in his race against Gamble, the Tennessee champion. There will be two races between three crack tandem teams which promises to be very interesting. One of them will be a pursuit race, each tandem to start at distance of one-third of the track from the other, and race until one pair catches the pair ahead of it. The other will be mile match race. The tandems will have no

PED HICKMAN, BIRMINdF1AM's CRACK AMATEUR

Ped A. Hickman, Birmingham and Ala bama's crack bicycle rider, left yesterday for Montreal, Canada, where he goes to participate in the international amateur bicycle races. From there he will go to Boston, Mass, and ride in the national meet Of amateur riders.
 Ped, as he is familiarly known, will first go to New York and join his brother, who will take charge of him in the big races. He is undecided yet as to whether he will run in many of the Montreal races, as he may take up most of the time training for e-ibig meet at Boston the following week. : In these contests all the great amateur riders in the world will participate, and if the Birmingham boy even makes good
The age-herald., 1899-08-05

showing his many admirers in this city will be highly elated.
 Young Hickman is only about 20 years old, but has been racing for eight years. He has won 9s per cent. of the races he has entered and has defeated every crack rider in Alabama as we'll as those of other southern states. Not more than ten days ago he almost walked away from Gamble, the champion of Tennessee, winning the first two heats of the match race. In the last heat he lowered the track record to 2:03 fiat and had the pace been faster he would probably have cut the record below the 2-minute mark.
 Hickman is calm, steady rider and knows exactly when to spurt His judg-

ment while on the track is remarkable
 His victories in Alabama have been ee y, and as yet no one has been brought here who could defeat him.
 It is to be expected that he will not win a majority of the races against the big riders, but if he keeps his usually clear head there is no reason why he should not bring home some of the prizes.
 The races in Montreal begin today and continue for one week. The Boston meet follows two days later and ends on August 18th
 Young Hickman was born and reared IL Birmingham, and everybody in the city is greatly interested in the lads coming effort against the worlds great riders.

MARKET REVIEW
 FOR THE WEEK
It is Same Story of Heavy Bus
 mess in Iron.
NEW CROPS NOW ON MARKET I
Oats, Hay and Corn Have Dropped in Price-Watermelon Crop in North Alabama Failure-The Sup
 ply Still Imported

So far as can be learned there were no features of any special note in the iron trade during the past week. Business was heavy, of course, but that has been the eral months past. Prices are still main tained on a basis of sl6 for No. 1 and other grades in proportion.
 The stocks in the furnace yards and the warrant yards continue to be reduced at an alarming rate, but that, too, is an old story. It will not have to be repeated much longer however, for there will soon be no more stocks left; nothing but the newly made iron as it comes out of the furnaces and is loaded on the cars for shipment.

Bradstreet on Birmingham

The following is the report of the Brad street agency for the week just closing:
 The scarcity of iron, together with an up- ward tendency. seems to dominate the mar ket and a regular scramble for pig iron is the result. Practically there is no iron in stock.
 Building continues with remarkable &C., tivity and there has been a marked increase in real estate and rents, principally in busi- ness property.
 Throughout the mineral district mer- chants are in better condition than for years, and consequently collections are good and wholesale trade in a healthy con- dition.
 Cotton crop reports are encouraging.
 Bank clearings for the week were $552, ,7Ss.
