Market Remains Unsettled.

IA. r. Thompson Co.'s Telegram
NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-There was con-
tinued selling pressure this morning dur
ing the first hour and some of the active
stocks were lower than yesterdays low
price, which caused some liquidation, but
after the bank statement was published
there was a good rally in the entire list;
but the buying seemed TO be 40 cover shorts
mostly, and there was little buying for in
vestment. The market remains in an I'M
settled state pending the defeat or the
passage of the Aldrich bill

The News of Birmingham

Birmingham. Feb. 17.-(SpeciaD-one of the coal producing companies in the Bir- mingham district has received an order for 5000 tons of coal at a price a little above that quoted for their product, the same to be shipped to Cuba as a trial offer. The company is promised a steady trade If the shipment is made successfully and the coal stands the travel. The coal com pany has not as yet accepted the offer in- asmuch as local railroads are needing all the coal and the company cannot consist ently ship the product abroad when do- nestle claims are being made for it. Cu- ba is considered one of the most promis- ing markets for the product of the mines inasmuch as much development is going on there and fuel will be in demand for some time to come. The coals of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, Bessemer Land and improvement Com pany, the Galloway Coal and Coke Com pany, the Little Cahaba Coal Company and other companies producing coal in Bibb County, will stand the hard trave from this country to Cuba and the offe

The Redistricting Committee.

The joint committee from the two houses appointed to draft bill reappoint- ing and equalizing the judicial circuits of the State, has been hard at work on the difficult task to which 1t was assigned
 The committee met last night in the office of Graham & Steiner, but 1t is said that nothing definite has so far been de- cided upon.
 It was said last night by a we'll inform ed member of the House that the commit tee might not submit the bill with the reapportioned districts until the Septem- Der session. It is argued that there is no need for haste as the committee has de cided that whatever changes might be made should not become effective until l9N. The committee, 1t was said by this member. has tentatively decided that there shall be fifteen judicial circuits in the State and that the Chancery Courts should be abolished upon the completion of the terms of the present officers. It is also said eighteen circuits are favored by many of the committeeman.

 No arrangements have been made so far as to the carrying out of the provisions of the act. It may be some months before the Capitol Building Commission will meet and 1t is not expected that the work will begin until next winter.

The Senate Committee on Temperance at a meeting held last night decided to re- port with a substitute the measure intro duced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Powell of Butler providing for the estab- lishment of a dispensary in the town of Evergreen.
 The substitute will stipulate that the citizens of Conecuh County, instead of the town of Evergreen, shall decide at an election whether a dispensary shall be es- tablished within the county. This decision, it is understood, is far from satisfactory to the large delegation of Evergreen citi- gems now in the city in the interests of dispensary legislation for the town inde- pendently of the county.

Pool Bill is Reported.

The Arlington bill allowing the selling of pools in Alabama State fairs was put before the House yesterday with both a majority and d minority report.
 The minority report was in opposition to the measure but the majority of the Com mittee on Commerce and Common Car riers favored it's passage and so announc- cd in the report to the House.
 The argument is made that 1t will en- courage the raising of blooded horses in Ala oama and indirectly other stock rais- ing. The members not only in regard to the ,bill, but in relation to other meas ures. lend attentive ears to any state ments or claims for a measure that ad- vances the material prosperity of any lire of the States industry.
 On the other hand the ministers not only of Montgomery but of other parts o' the State are unalterably opposed to any change in the law which forbids the sell ing of pools. They are supported by many good people and their opposition is being felt.

 An argument in favor of the constitu- tionality of the act was submitted by Gordon Macdonald.

The bill, 1t is contended by the oppo- nents of the measure, is unconstitutional in that 1t violates the article on local leg islation of the Constitution. It Is argued that the bill attemps to enact a piece of local legislation that Is especially forbid Is contended that the only way in which Montgomery can secure a Police Commis- sion Is for one to he created under the operation of a general municipal law ap- piicable to cities of the class of Mont gomery.
