The City's Improvement.


 T am not opposed to public improve ments, under the assessment plans, like those now being made in Birmingham. said a nonresident property holder yes- teroay but your city administration should start in the center of the city and work out I notice beautifully cemented sidewalks with stone curbing for ten blocks out-abutting uninhabited swamp lands-and right in the heart of the city Fourth avenue, for instance, from Twen- tieth to Twenty-second street-without paved walks on the north side of that thoroughfare. could mention other places that are more frequently used; but this is enough to call attention to seeming oversight"
 By the way" added this Birmingham tax payer, who does not live here to en- joy our solid comforts, 'I see Twenty-first street and several other of your residen- tial thoroughfares are to be paved with brick from curb to curb, and there Is go- ing to be a terrible howl about 1t; but mark my prediction, the property holders will be glad it's done after they pay for it. Nothing adds more to the health, beauty and intrinsic value of city property than we'll paved streets and sidewalks, and Bir- mingham has not enough of them."
 There is no boom on Birmingham" said a real estate man yesterday, but you never saw the day when there was more solid reason for an upward tendency in Birmingham property than now. The many months of unprecedented growth and development of the Birmingham is- trict, the opening of new mines, the es- tablishment of new manufactories and the consequent influx of population is bound to mean something for this city. And best of all, no finger can point to any probability of cessation of this condi- tion within the next several years. Mark my word for it, Birmingham is moving ahead"

of spinners, who refuse to enter the

that trade conditions are so unsatis-

Texas bought October on the unfavor-
able crop outlook. Soon after midday
reports reached the pit to the effect
that hot winds were causing rapid de-
terioratton in Texas. This started buy
ing Tor both accounts afresh and prices
rapidly worked higher. Close upon the
Iexas news came an official statement
from the Exchange superintendent,
showing a recount of the New York
stock, the result of which was a reduc-
ton in the figures of 81 900 bales, to
1l4,OOO bales. This was totally unlocked
Tor, and threw shorts into a more pre-
carious position than before. October
advanced to S.03c and January TO S.0Sc,
around which figures there was consid-
cradle selling for profit-taking.
Rumors that recounts of the New
Orleans and Liverpool stocks, usual at
the end of the season, were under way,
and would also show a pronounced re-
duction, did much to stimulate new
buying. There was very little cotton
for sale at any time, except for profits,
the bears being thoroughly disorgan-
lied.
With an adjournment of three days
now close at hand and with two gov
eminent reports due next Tuesday, few
traders had the courage even to stay
short, let alone put out short sales for
a turn.
The market was finally steady, with
prices net 21@25 points higher.

New York, Aug. 29.-Any hopes of re-
further receded to-day. and the bust
ness transacted on the Stock Exchange
to-day was about the smallest of the
year. Such as 1t was, 1t was done
above yesterdays closing prices, but
the recessions from the best prices to-
ward the close of the day revealed the
strictly professional character of the
dealings and left prices near to last
nights level. Yesterdays check to
Tuesdays selling movement had appar-
emily aroused some hope that a re-
newed buying movement in force might
be imminent.
This ranged the professionals on the
buying side and accounted for the up
ward movement, while the closing out
of their accounts was actually respon-
sible for the reaction. London was re-
ported a buyer in this market to an
effective degree, considering the mar
rowness of the market. This, coupled
with free supply of grain bills, caused
a further reaction in the sterling ex-
change market. The london money
market at the same time hardened APP
preciably; in part owing to the de-
mands incident to the payday for the
Stock Exchange settlement. Exchange
authorities do not express much expec-
tation of any inward movement of gold
in the early future. The supply of ex-
change bills is in some part connected
with the making of sterling loans and
any stiffening of foreign money rates
would be likely to bring a demand for
exchange in connection with the re-
lease of these loans. The weekly Rank
of England statement showed an addi
tional strengthening of that institution.
but the return of the Bank of France
is weak, showing a decline in the gold
reserve, an expansion of the note cir
culation and heavy increase in out

The feature of to-day's market was
very pronounced advance in cotton
furures at New York, which was on
the more definite crop advices from all
sections, and particularly Texas, where
the crop seems to have suffered great
damage. These reports had favorable
effect upon Liverpool, which sent over
early encouraging cables. This was In
turn followed by sharp advances at
New York, with the closing steady at
a rise of Il to Is points. Spot markets
were generally quiet, with moderate
demand prevailing.
The turpentine market closed firm at

sorb the offerings. The feature of the

large demand was uncovered, the
