Do Not Credit RumOrS of
 Changes i'm the Southern

Officials of the Southern Railway sys- tenn located in Birmingham discussed yes terday the rumor about changes in the executive department of the company, but only as interesting gossip They were not inclined to credit the story which ap- peared in several southern papers, and when they read President Spencer's state ment in the Age-Herald that the rumor was without foundation. every one of them said "I told you so."
 The Age-Herald's New York corres- pondent sent last night the following dis patch.
 Nothing appears to be known here in relation to the report that Samuel Spen- cer is to be made chairman of the South ern Railroad. that w. w. Finley Is to be made president and that J. Pierpont Morgan will have nothing to do with management in the future. At the off

fees of the Southern Railroad Company in the Union Trust Company building, on Broadway, 1t was stated that MT. Spencer was in the South but that he would be back in the city on Tuesday. No one seemed to know in what part of the South MT Spencer was at present or else they did know and refused to tell.
 ''The clerks said all they had heard about the report was what had appeared in Southern newspapers which had been sent up to the offices from the South. They all refused to express an opinion and refused to be quoted on the sub ject in any way No one else could be found in the city connected with the company in any way who could give the desired information or would speak in the matter. There appears to be little or no foundation for the report.

Banks Handle More Business Than Ever Before in
 City's History
GAIN OF OVER 3 MILLIONS
These Figures Do Not Include Two Remaining Days of This Year and Increase VIII Be
 Much More.

The banks of Birmingham have broken all records for business for the year 1901. Reports made through the clearing house make the gain in returns even greater than the estimates of the most optimistic
 The statement of the yearly business tip to last night shows a gain over the figures of last year of SS. 57. and two more days remain to be reported.
 The total clearlngs for the year of 1900 amounted to $43, 9S2, ,S44 .31. So far this year the amount which has passed through the clearing house is s47,7eo 2s.sS. This sum includes the business of yesterday.
 Four Million Dollars Increase.
 The year will not end until Wednesday morning, and 1t Is estimated that the clearngs for Monday md Tuesday will amount to $45O,OOO. making the average $225.0OO, which sum Is often exceeded
 This would make the increase over last year amount to $4 168, ,0S4.57.
 Though Christmas week is always con- sidered a bad week in banking circles, the figures of the past week show gain over those of the previous week. For the week ending December 21 the clear ings are represented by s1,234,5 ,569 .S5. For the week ending last night the figures are 1s,246 .04. This shows a small gain in the week of s12,22s. .1S. The clearings yesterday were $216 4S7 .2s.
 Six Banks Represented.
 In discussing the figures and the in- crease they show Manager W. T. Latham of the clearing house said:
 ''1t must be remembered that the clearing house here Is composed of only six banks. This fact makes the figures more startling, therefore, and tends to give an excellent index of the enormous business transacted. It Is also a striking indication of the prosperity really felt here"
