MT. Pottle in Town.

Col. James H. Pottle. a director in the Brotherhood Wine Co.," of New York, blew in to Montgomery last evening, car rying a bag full of new jokes in one hand and a box of the Brotherhood's fla nous Five-X rye in the other.
 He came direct from Pensacola, where he distributed large quantities of the Brotherhood's famous goods. and he is now busy shaking hands with his nu- merous friends and patrons. The Broth erhood Wine Co.," of New York is one of the oldest and most reliable wine and liquor houses in the United States, and is noted throughout the American con- unent for the absolute purity of their products.
 This well-known house has made hosts of warm friends in Montgomery through the unquestioned purity of their goods. and their thoroughly reliable methods of doing business.
 Their champagne plant is not only the largest in the United States, but the quality of their wines are said by the most competent judges to equal the best foreign brands.
 Why should not this be SO? Every cll- matic condition found in Europe exists in some portion of the United States, and the vine in the greatest variety is in- digenous to American soil. -adv.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, March N.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Weather, crops, distributive trade, transportation and evel collections show improvement this week. The price situ- alton shows few important changes, but so far as actual indications are con cerned demand shows no curbing as a re- suit of increased cost. Railway earnings continue excellent, those for the third week of March showing the enormous gain of IT per cent. in gross. An abund- ance of moisture in the form of rains fell in the West and Northwest last week This has put the ground in good shape for spring planting. Jobbing dis trlbutfon of dry goods, clothing, notions, millinery, hardware and shoes shows large aggregate, though spring trade has probably reached its maximum at leading western centers. Fall business is now beginning to be sought. Iron and steel are active and the demand still surpasses the supply. The tendency is still to- ward increased strength in finished pro- ducts, a strengthening element being the upward tendency of British and Gernan markets. Lumber continues active with deliveries unequal to requirements. Build ing material of all kinds is active, though quotations are 30 to &a per cent higher. than a few years ago. Large sales of steel rails to traction companies and of steel pipe to Texas and California oil producers are noted. An interesting fea- ture in finished machinery Is the report

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
WEATHER CONDITIONS THE CAUSE OF IRREGULARITY.
Extensive Strikes Threaten to Rem der Idle Many of the New En gland Textile Mills-Rail-
 road Earnings Large.


 New York, March 27.-R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Irregularity in retail trade is due to weather conditions. At most points an early season stimulates business but in other sections there has been Interruption from excessive rain. More uniform ac- tivity is reported in wholesale trade with a notably large movement of groceries, millinery. paper and builders materials. while conditions are good for the season in jewelry.
 Manufacturers of clothing, furniture. footwear and iron and steel are well en- gagged. ample supplies for fuel greatly facilitating operations. but extensive strikes threaten to render idle many New England textile mills. The cut of spruce lumber has been large. but early break ing up of winter restrict the movemen: and high cost of labor and provisions rem dered operations expensive. Earnings of railways thus far reported for March ex- ceed last years by 12.S per cent. An whole ConnellsviIle region last week in- dicate that fuel troubles are almost end cd. Quotations on iron and steel are sus- tained by the vigorous home consump- tion and there is the additional support Of stronger markets abroad. Work Is re- stunned on bridges and buildings wherever the places Of strikers can be filled and several contests in this department have been aVerted. A large opening trade m nine has been followed by liberal supple mentary orders. Sharp competition for business in bar r-iron has caused slight ly lower level of prices, while plates and sheets are firmer, especially in galvanized lines. A prominent feature of activity is found in Merchant Steel for agricultural implement works and wagon factories, these orders running far Into the future. Oyersold conditions at rail mills are send ing urgent orders abroad.
 No improvement has appeared in the dry goods market. The situation is pe- cuiiarly complicated as to cotton goods, stocks are light as a rule and labor trou- bles threaten to curtail output. yet job bers are reluctant to undertake contracts at present quotations. Dullness is report cd in woolen goods, with new business on a limited scale. Jobbers age placing large orders for fall delivery of shoes, readily paving the recent advance in prices and manufacturers of heavy goods have book ed more business, than Is customary al AhI4~ AA-1-s AA&A LAatilar Ia nAIiak> Al

AWAITING APPROVAL
FOUR BILLS NOT YET SIGNED BY 0Ov1RNoR.
White House Bfll, Walden Appro- priation Fill, Mobile Depot Bill and Emigration Agent Bill
 Not Yet Acted Upon.

Four bills passed by the Legislature are on the desk of Governor Jelks awaiting his approval or disapproval. Some of them, perhaps all of them, may not be acted upon until the Legislature recon. venes in September.
 Two of the bills carry appropriations and grave doubts as to the constitu- tionaiity of two of the measures have been expressed. The Governor, it is said, until the Legislature is again in session when the full limit of its expenditures and the effects of the new revenue act
 The bills not acted upon yet by the care and preservation of the relics of the Confederate army and navy now in charge of the Ladies White House Asso-

 1T. AS To require railroad companies entering Mobile to build and maintain a
 s. iso. To prohibit emigration agents from plying their vocation in Alabama
 without the payment of a license.
 While the Governor has made no public
 anncuncement of bis ms intention s.s, 10 Tn regsrd
 as very probable that they will be held
 over until the Legislature. reassenbles
 The first bill on the list is the famous
 White House measure, a live wire in the
 LeRislature and in the last General As sembly. The bill passed by the General
 Assembly two years ago which was
 similar to the one now before the Gov
 ernor was vetoed by Governor Sanford. The ladies of the White House Associa- ton have seen the Governor in regard to their bill and 1t is said that they have no hopes that it will be signed.
 The second measure on the hst is one of the large appropriation bills of the Legislature. It was entroduced by Rep. resentative Walden Of Morgan and carries s1oo 900 to be added to the fund raised from the old soldiers tax for pen sioning Confederate soldiers and their widows. A similar bill passed the House of the last General Assembly. put oied in committee in the Senate.
 Grave doubts are entertained as to the eonstttI,tionality of the Mobile depot bill. The bill. of which Representative Hoff- man is the author, seeks to compel all railroads entering the city Of Mobile to unite in the building of union passenger station. It Is doubted that any act or the Legislature can compel comoanation of railroads for any purpose.
 The doubt of the constitutonality or the emigration agent bill has. 1t is said. prevented its approval. The bill Is really Q prohibition of emigration work Tn Ala bama It is aimed at the men wno carry negro laborers from Alabama 10 other States The bill provides that any such agent shall be required to pay state and county license of ,o00 Its prohibltory feature gave birth to the doubts of its constitutionahty.

Improvements on Dexter.

"One of the most needed Improvements made In Montgomery in some time." re- marked an observant citizen yesterday, was in the sidewalk pavement recently put in on the corner of Dexter Avenue and Court Street in front of Knabe's drug store."
 And he was right. The pavement at that corner was in a bad condition, made worse by rainy weather. Frequently du- ring heavy rains people of all classes would throng on the corner under the shelter waiting for cars, and even the pavement would be inches deep in water.
 Such a state of affairs was exceedingly disagreeable to women especially, but this has been remedied by the improve nent.
