Birmingham Woman's Club
 To Be Inc0rporated

Judge James J. Banks was a guest of the Birmingham Woman's Club at it's meeting yesterday afternoon. He was invited to give litle legal advice to hundred or more women.
 He began by saying that Mrs. Smith. tbe President of the club, was right when sine said that he was always willing to assist the club when 1t needed any legal advice and then he paid such beautiful compli- ment to the club that a hundred women applauded to the echo.
 He said that the club had come to le such an important factor in Birminghams growth and progress that 1t was impossi- ble for the club itself to realize the great and beneficient influence 1t exerted. What the Womans Club fostered was necessar- fly a good and just cause and what ever it advocated indicated that the move- ment should be advocated
 The club has considered for some time the advisability of becoming incorporated, and at asked Judge Banks opinion. He advised incorporating the club, as 1t would em- phasize its identity and be of advantage in other ways
 What would it cost?" asked a club mem- Der.
 That is a very reasonable question:" said the Judge.
 When the Alabama Woman's Building Association was incorporated" he went on to explain, "the fee was twenty-five dol lars"
 The president interrupted politely.
 Tt was only $25O" she said and even the Judge smiled.
 O." he rejoined, "that must have been a bargain day"
 Perhaps" said the president, "the mem- bers would like to ask Judge Banks some other questions. l am sure that he will take pleasure in answering them"
 The Judge looked calmly over the heads of one hundred women. 7 q can't promise to answer all questions" he said: 'They must not be hard ones"
 The club will immediately take steps for incorporation. The other business trans- acted yesterday included the election of a third vice-president and of federation di- rector. Mrs w. J. Zeigler was elected to the former office and Mrs. Robert Cunning ham to the latter.

 '"The women who are going ahead with the work of charity are very anxious to hasten the building of the new Hillman Hospital It is a known and much appre- ciated fact that our magic city is greatly in need of an emergency hospital What nobler work or more humane idea Is there, than to serve we'll the sick and stricken? This lofty cause should be encouraged and substantially aided now; there is no time like the present. Let all attend the mass meeting tonight and speak up for this grand work, in which the women of Bir- mingham at large have interested them selves. Rev. J. G. Murray will preside at this meeting and all the clergymen of the city will lend their presence, as they have been kind and interested enough to vacate their respective pulpits for the evening" The Fiji st Methodist church is spacious in deed, but let us hope that it will be we'll filled on this great occasion"

cablegram:
The stock market to-day was DOM
mated by the alarming bulletins re-
garding the condition Of President Nc
Klnley. American stocks opened from
2 to points under parity. The more
reassuring official news supplemented
by rumors caused slight improvement
at the end Of the first hour on the
theory that there was an opportunity
to buy stocks cheap. There was q
sharp momentary rally Of from l to
1h points on the New York opening.
The market turned again before the
finish, closing about three-quarters Of
point above the lowest. The opin-
ion is that the worst Ia now discounted
but the market entirely lacks conf
deuce. Consols were 93%. Tintos
sold at 525s; naeonda at 8, in synipa-
thy with American stocks.

NEW YORK, Sept 13.-The Lon
don market was described as sick
.aday, over the discouraging and I'M
favorable news from Buffalo. Amer
cans were off from fractions to as
much as 81 per cent. Exports Of
E3ld to America are very probable.
Liverpool reported October corn Ne
higher.
The depressing news from Buffalo
this morning had its natural effect
upon the stock market. The opening
was at a decline, and although there
were occasional rallies, there was n
pressure to unload that could not be
resisted, and prices sagged decidedly.
The slight rally at the close, based up
on more favorable reports as to the
Presidential condition were not suftl-
Gent to more than fraetionaily make
up the .osses.

Money ranged from an extreme OF

to have a good effect. Sales for the

PRESIDENTS RELAPSE

Fell Upon the stock Market With
Greater Force Than the Announce
ment of the Assault-Caused Pam
fclSy Selling.
NEW YORK, September 13.-The
shock of the Presidents relapse fell
upon the stock market with almost
greater force than did that of the first
attack upon him. The measure of this
effect is seen in the fact that prices as
a rule fell to-day below the low level OF
last Saturday. The laborious course
of restoration of prices during the
week had carried the average level
we'll back to that ruling at the close
of last Friday before the news Of the
shooting was known in Wall street. A
false report of the Presidents death
hads Calculated in London to-day and
the panicky selling from that center
was thrown upon the opening market
here. The condition Of the money
market and some of the developments
of yesterday left the market vulnar-
able even to normal course of events.
Republic Steel was acutely affected by
the comments on it's poor showing of
earnings for the year. The amount of
offerings of government bonds brought
out by Secretary Cages proposals was
disappointing, the total reaching only
about s7.500,000. compared with the
800, 000, 900 invited, but as payments
made for these in cash upon presenta-
ton at the sub-treasury to-day, most
of the offered bonds being sold in New
York, this became a very important
event Of the day pouring an abundant
stream of cash into the market at the
very moment of greatest need. There
can be no doubt that this was an inn
portant factor in saving the day, for
the pressure of liquidation was at
times very severe The loan item is
matter of mere guess work, but tne
free lending of money early in the
week to keep down the money rate
must be reckoned with as well as the
linuidation which has been affected.
Call loans went to 10 per cent to-day,
but relapsed to 6 per cent. No extra
ordinary measures were deemed nee
essary By the clearing house commit
tee. and In fact that body was not in
session during the day. The measures
adapted early in the week continue IN
force. however. There is no doubt that
sentiment in Wall street to-day as to
the Presidents recovery was practic-
ally hopeless and the price movement
is t. be measured from this stand
point.
. The majority of active stocks all
through the list declined from II
over 4 points. Railroad bonds we's
weak. but not SO acutely SO as stocke.
Total sales par value $3.S50,000.

THE NEWS AND THE MARKT.

NEW YORK, September 10, 3:15 p.
m.-The distressing news from Buffalo
this morning and continued anxiety
during the day was the overshadowing
influence in the market. Prices open
ed materially lower and though there
were occasional rallies the tendency
was steadily towards lower prices, the
extreme decline being in the last hour.
A further depressing influence was
the course of the money market The
rate for call loans was at one time
quoted at 8 per cent, and though it
got below six after the main demand
had been satisfied, most of the loans
were made at or above the last named
rate. There was practically no arbi-

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 10, 3:40.-
More than one million shares were
traded in to-day. During the after
noon prices fuctuated nervously but
within a very limited range, extraor-
ordinary efforts having been put fifth
to support the market. Amalgamated
Copper was conspicuously weak
feature, but many other issues also
closed near the lowest prices of the
day. Toward the end, however, the
tone was a little firmer on declining
rates for money as well as slightly
better news from Buffalo. The dis
patches reported no change in the
Presidents condition, and this is con-
sidered encouraging. 1t was not I'M
til after the market closed that the
re-assuring bulletins that the Presi-
dent had held all his early improve
ment and was better than at this
time yesterday, was received in Wall
Street. The bank statement tomorrow
is not expected to make good show

DICK BROS. & co.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 3:54 p. M
There is absolutely no occasion to par
ticularize to-day the stock. market.
Everybody knows that the unfortunate
turn in the condition of the President
at Buffalo was the keynote to lower
prices throughout the list, and sales for
the day will probably mount up to a
million shares. There has been good
support from time to time, but never
theless the depressing sentiment carried
the day and prices remained at the low
level of the day.
The United States treasury redeemed
81, 500 900 to $S,O0o,O00 in bonds. Call
money ruled alternately from to
per cent.
II stood to reason that every body
was waiting impatiently for news from
the sick bed. Up till within a few
minutes of the close no decided bull
letfn was issued. but just about 3
O'Clock reports came in that the con-
dition of the President is better, and
in that the market closes with strong
err tone and a slight rally.
II is impossible to forecast the ten
dency OF the market at this hour. =
