Promising sIans.

The Financial Age of Saturdays date
says:
THE recent liquidation in the stock
market has resulted in at least bringing
prices to level where conservative inter-
ests have been tempted to invest as was
evidenced by the absorption which fol-
lowed the decline of Monday. London also
is showing a keener interest in our seeur-
tiles These are promising signs not only
because they signify the entrance of sub
stantial interests, but by reason of the
fact that the weaker and more dangerous
elements are being eliminated With all
due respect to the enterprising gentlemen
comprising the group that is known as
the western crowd and which in reality
is composed of several distinct parties, 1t
must be admitted that their entrance into
eastern finance has not added stability to
the market, and 1T is an open secret that
during the past year certain New York
banking interests have attempted, and
with apparent success, to dislodge them.
The heavy liquidation that took place last
fall and winter was generally supposed
to represent their holdings, and there Is
no doubt but that large proportion OF
the selling orders of the past month came
from the same quarter. Stocks which they
had bought at a considerably higher
level in anticipa tion of another bull mar
ket, and which they have carried in the
face of high money rates, have at last
been unloaded in order that they might
protect other securities, regarding which
thav have hiub exnectatiOns While the
loss which they have suffered is to be re-
GREETED, 1t Is generally conceded that
with these cliaues eliminated the market
is in much stronger position than 1t has
been for some time.

II have rarely seen one man do so
much towards the success of any one

more than two months before the show
started and during the week 1t was held
he was constantly on hand trying to see
that everything went right

and when we wanted anything he saw
that we received It. He will be a fine
man to manage the horse show next year.
and if he has a suitable place he will
give as good a show as has been seen in
the south in many years

Birmingham advance a number of steps
In its march of progress. The building
could be used for many things and ii
would be the means of bringing large

The subject has been brought before

fourteen have not acteu upon it. Not
one has rejected it finally and out

A POINT ON wHIcH THEY AGREE.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Men consider themselves the superiors
of women. and women, even In their
childhood, coincide in this view" said a
school teacher. ITO class of fifty girls
and fifty boys. of the average age of 10
years, | once put the question: Who is
your ideal human being-the one you
admire and love most? In reply 10 this
question about % per cent OF the boys
gave me a male character and IS per
cent OF the girls did the same thing. Sta
tistics. l understand, have been gathered
on this matter, and these prove quite
conchsively that boys and girls alike pre-
fer men to women. When girls are under
10, about 40 per cent of them will, ac-
cording to the statistics, name women as
their best loved characters. but as they
grow older this minority changes over
to the mems side. The characters that
are chosen are. as rule, George Wash
ington, William Tell, Napoleon and
