The worst fire that has occurred in
this vicinity for many years consumed the
barn of E E Warne Tuesday morning at
about o'clock. There was but one man
on the farm when the fire was discov-
cred and though he worked like hero
he was unable to save all the stock. The
COWS were all saved. Four horses, a
large bull, fifteen young cattle, about
fifty small pigs and several hogs persisted
in the flames. Besides the loss of barn
and stock all of his hay, straw and grain,
except one crib Of corn. was burned to-
gether with most of his farm machinery
and threshing machine. Just how
much insurance Mr. Warne carried we
do not know, but understand the loss is
partially covered by policy in the Oak
land Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Even
if everything burned is covered by fair
amount of insurance the loss to Mr.
Warne will be considerable for he is left
with large amount of stock and no
place to keep them or hay or grain to
feed them.

PRODUCE MARKET
 ACTIVE THIS WEEK
Prices Advancing on Vegetables Eggs, Poultry and Butter
 in Good Demand

Birmingham's wholesale produce market is active this week. and with the approach of winter prices are beginning to advance, especially on vegetables. Irish potatoes, which were quoted at Soc for the ordinary run. are up 5c. Cabbage, which had been quoted at 1Ac per pound for two or three weeks past, is now 11zc. Onions have gone up to 2c. Apples are higher bx, 25c to soc. Rutabagas are dull and unchanged Sweet potatoes are in moderate demand, with quotations unchanged.
 Cabbage is in light supply and the de- mand is active. Onions, cabbage and po- tatoes will bring good prices all winter.
 White peas are not in much demand just now, but will be later on. Commission merchants get 2.25 per bushel for good peas.
 Dried apples are selling all the way from 312 to 5c, but they are not in much demand this early in the season.
 Eggs are brisk at 2Oc; receipts light. The market is fairly we'll supplied with live poultry, and dressed fowls are beginning to make their appearance. There have been some good turkeys in the market this week and next week the supply will be large if the weather remains seasonable. Drawn turkeys, with head and feet off, bring 121sc. Live turkeys are worth to 1Oc. Large, fat ducks sell readily. but there are few in the market Live chickens (hens) for baking are worth 25 to 9Oc-25c Tor the Alabama product and BOG for the Tennessee breed, the latter being much heavier than those raised in this State. This may seem a re- flection on our Alabama climate or our Alabama poultrymen, but the market re- porter for the Age-Herald records only facts as he obtains them from the poultry trade.
 Game Is in fine demand; receipts very light. The butter market Is active, with quotations unchanged.

COTTON ADVANCING.
The Local Market Strong at Nine and
 Quarter Gents

On Thursday of last week good middling cotton closed on the Birmingham market at SBc. Yesterday it closed at 9Ac. This was the highest price of the day in cash trans- actions, but merchants paid in trade as high as 5-16. The tone of the market was strong.
 The receipts in Birmingham have been large this week, but 1t is estimated that less than third of the crop In this sec ton has been sold. The general belief is that cotton will go higher and many farm CTS will hold off for 91A or 1Oc. The price will probably reach 91s before another week rolls round.
