BESSEMER.

Bessemer, June 1.-(Special )-For some time it has been evident that sneak thieves have been at work in Bessemer. Houses have been entered and pocketbooks with money in them and other small and valua- ble articles have been taken, and reports have been made to the police, but no clue could be found to the thief or thieves, and the police kept the matter quiet in order to work it up. Thursday evening after dusk while the family of the Rev. II. w. Flnn were at the supper table one of the party thought he noticed through the transom the shadow of some one going up the stairs and remarked upon it. He soon again noticed it as if the person was com ing down. Opening the door into the hall negro woman was found hurrying out They called to her, but with the words

BIRMINGHAM BOY
Wins the Bry an Prize Awarded by the
 State University

Tuscaloosa, June 1(-SpeciaL)-The Bry- an prize. for the current year, has been won by Pope Bates Smith (class of 1901) of Birmingham. The subject of his essay was ''The Popular Election of Senators" There were five contestants. Each wrote on a subject selected by himself. The essays were first submitted to John W. Tomlinson of Birmingham, who named in a communi- cation to the president of the university the one he thought best. They were next turned over to Hon. F. s. Moody of Tusca- loosa with a similar request As they named different papers, these two were sent to the third judge Colonel F. G. Calf fey of Montgomery. As a result, MT. Smiths essay won. The judges had no idea as to the identity of the writers, as the essays were signed in cipher, the names and ciphers being locked up in the presidents safe under seal. When the communication from Colonel Caffey came, the contestants were invited into the office, the notes from the judges read, and the seals broken, when for the first time the result was known.

GENERAL REVIEW
 OF WEEKS TRADE Readjustment of Price Quotations
 the Leading Feature. PIG IRON STILL DECLINES
Throughout the Trade the Feeling !: More Cheerful on Ground That Lower Prices Will Encourage
 Consumptive Demand

New York, June 1.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Readjustment of price quotations to meet the changed conditions of supply and de- mand are still the leading features of the general trade. In volume the business do- ing is of a between-season character, i'm proYement in some in some lines being counterbalanced by increased dullness in other branches. Crop reports are relatively most favorable as regards corn and oats. In the southwest wheat crop prospects are still maintained at a high advance. In the northwest wheat has been helped by late rains Most prices are lower on the week, wheat noting fractional drop, despite un- favorable French advces.
 Pork products have sympathiZed with the downward tendency of values, aided there by by increased receipts of holdings. Some further liquidation has been noted in cot ton and the price has sunk to cents. In textiles the situation is rather depressed, although some improvement in recorders for dry goods is quoted in leading jobbing centers. Print cloths have been marked down by the Fall River committee, but this is merely tardy recognition of hther- to known facts. Manufacturers of woolen goods are out of the market for raw wool and the outlook at present favors the light weight woolens upon opening at lower val ues.
 The hand-to-mouth domestic demand for iron and steel continues, but the number of small orders received is taken to indicate that consumers are practically bare of stocks and any general shutdown for months time, such as Is proposed, might lead to scramble for supplies Conces- sions of a fraction of a dollar are appar- ently easily obtained for pig iron, but throughout the trade the feeling is rather more cheerful, the feeling being that lower prlces will, on the one one hand, encourage consumptive demand, and on the other, tend to restrict production by less economical plans. The settlement of the wage situa- tion this year might also be a possible source of restriction of production.
 Wheat, including hour shipments for the week aggregates 4,533, 40 bushels, against S,595, 900 in the same week of 1S99
 Corn exports for the week aggregate 3, 2,204 bushels, against 3922, 497 bushels in this week a year ago.
 Business failures for the week in the United States number 153, compared with 129 in this week year ago.

Final Examinations

The final examinations begin next Mon- day, June 4, and end on the 18th. The ap- preaching commencement promises to be unusually brilliant and well attended. The railroads of the state have given reduced rates for the occasion. The sixty-ninth commencement is to be notable and of es- pecial interest to the women of the state, in that the university will this year con- fer it's first degree upon a woman Several ladies have completed one or more courses and received certificates to that effect, but as yet woman has received a degree from the institution. There are two can- didates for such this year.

DUN'S REVIEW

New York, June 1.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 While returns of failures in May by branches of business cannot be given until next week, it can be stated that not over six months in more than six years have shown as large defaulted liabilities as May will show, owing to the failure of firm principally engaged in cotton brokerage The reported liabilities of this one firm exceed those of all firms failing in every month but one last year, and in every one but three in 1898. The decline in cotton to 9 cents and the reduction of regular print cloths to 3kc at Fall River, with outside sales at 3 cents, indicate that speculation in this case may have somewhat checked business and industry.
 The rapid progress of events in Africa, with prospect that the war will soon end, and the gold supply from that region will be resumed, has naturally affected both money and security markets on both sides of the ocean.
 Needs of foreign borrowing may be much reduced and hindrance to foreign invest ments here in large measure removed.
 The most conspicuous feature of domestic news is the steady progress toward low CT level of prices for the chief materials of industry. Without excitement, and with very small sales, 1t Is believed the smallest ever recorded in May, at the three chief eastern markets, except In 1893, prices of wool have declined so that the one hundred quotations in Coates Brothers circular would average about 21 .S4c against 4.72c at the highest point February l, and 1S.16c year ago. The stagnant and hesitating condition of the dry goods market, though not extending to the most favorable sta- ples, which are largely sold early in the season, has caused much irregularity in prices of goods of other grades so that some have been cleared out by concessions of 15 to 20 per cent. from the early cuota- tions of the season.
 The change in hides has made marked progress also, the average at Chicago de- clining over per cent. for the past week and thus far about F per cent. from the highest point.
 The decline in pig iron continues, gray forge reaching $1S5o at Pittsburg, Mo- 1 local. coke $22 at Chicago, No. 1 anthracite and Bessemer $22 at Philadelphia, and Le- high No. 1 $21 here. Only small changes have appeared during the week in prices of finished products but these are toward lower figures.
 There are current statements that some of the properties just taken by the steel sheet company have been sold back to former owners, and that properties of the steel loop company will be divided like wise, but it is not at all surprising if a few out of so many combinations result in the disappointment of some. Probably a lower quotation for Bessemer pig made will be accepted by the association in the central region for the latter half of the year, as the closing of many works owing to reduced demand may leave these fur naces without full employment The accep tance of two large contracts for export, one for 100000 tons, by southern works, is good sign.
 Failures for the week have been 160 in the United States, against 145 last year, and 21 in Canada, against II last year.
