winner can be produced.
 The only trouble with the Birmingham team during this season has been an in- ability to hit the ball. Nearly all of the games have been won at home by pitch ing and fielding. Birmingham hits the ball much harder on the road than at home. By the addition of two or three good hit- ters this fault will be remedied.
 The stockholders are very much pleased at the showing made by oBrien, and in fact all of Birmingham is happy to know that he is to handle the slagpile dwelers one more year.

Providence, R. l., September s.-The ters, was the feature of the third days racing in the Grand Circuit meeting at Narraganzett Park today. Billy Buck, a bay gelding, owned and driven by E. F. Geers of Memphis, carried off the big purse, winning in three straight heats. There was an attendance of 12O00.
 In field of eleven starters Scott Hud- sons horse Jay MeGregor had the pole. The horses went to the three-quarter pole with McGregor in the lead and then be- gan a battle royal down the stretch. Billy Buck drew steadily out of the bunch, headed the leader when within two hum dred yards of the finish and took the heat by narrow margin of 2:0SA, the best time made during the race. Geers took the lead in the second heat and found it easy to maintain that position through out the mile, winning by length handily
 For more than half a mile in the final heat the field held together so closely that the horses could hardly be distin- guished. On the turn into the stretch Jay McGregor rushed out of the bunch and the battle to the wire was a royal one Billy Buck winning by nose
 Sensational finishes marked the 2 :0S pace which had twelve starters with Albock favorite Locanda fought gallantly from wire to wire in the first heat with Louise G and won, but in the next he was given tenth place for running, Albert G finishing in the lead.

The men are fighting as hard as the man. agers, he says and the games are made doubly interesting. Ebright also declares that this is the greatest pennant race in the history of the Southern league.

LESS SPRING WHEAT
The Government Estimate Probably
too Large-Business Infu-
ences Conflicting.
Fifty Thousand Men Likely to Be
Laid Off This Winter by
Railroads. 49,.

New York, Oct. 23.-Special Geographic
reports on the business situation to the
International Mercantile Agency from
correspondents thruout the United States
are summarized as follows: ..
Advices from leading trade centers
mako plain the presence OF conflicting IN
fluences. Relatively the larger number
Of unfavorable reports are as to the In
dustrial situation and outlook. Good
judges believe the effort TO hold up the
price of finished steel thru the spring
will not succeed. Authorities admit that
pig iron makers will have to increase the
extent of the movement to restrict out
put. Pig iron given in exchange for coke
overhangs the market. Soft coal prices
are being held up only thru combination.
Present plans contemplate the laying of
of nearly $4,000 railway employees this
winter. Trust companies and national
bank disasters at Baltimore and P1ttsburg
were caused by special conditions. and
at both cities 1t Is believed the weak
ness Of the financial situation has been
eliminated.
At Minneapolis spring wheat receipts
tend to confirm the belief that the govern
ment report Of the size Of the spring
wheat crop was too large. international
Mercantile Agency advices point to about
100, 900, 900 bushels Of wheat from this
years domestic crop Of wheat available
for export, whereas European continental
estimates that importing countries
will need 100000 900 bushels.
General jobbing trade is dull In New
England, but the volume Is nearly equal
to that one year ago. The movement
Of lumber there Is fair except for south
ern.
Sales Of wool have been small, con-
sumers awaiting lower prices. Some cot
ton mills are storing product. Shoe fac
tories are fairly busy on orders for spring
delivery.
The less favorable commercial features
are in smaller sales of clothing at st.
Louis than expected, the reported pros
pect for check to demand from country
merchants at Chicago after Jan. /, IL
smaller volume of jobbing business at
st. Paul than year ago and backward
collections south and southwest
On the other hand, the general business
outlook in the southwest, except in Texas,
is bright. New Orleans anticipates
heavy winter and spring trade. Texas
trade prospects are tied up in the cotton
yield there, which has been somewhat
underestimated-

SITUATION IMPROVES
All Danger OF Further Suspensions at
Pttsburg Has Passed.

Pittsburg. Oct 23.-The financial at
nosphere Of Pitsburg seems to have been
cleared and no further bank troubles are
looked for
The official announcement made yes
terday by the clearing house association
that $2,500,000 had been raised, that the
fund would be increased to $4,000, 900 to
meet whatever emergencies may arise and
that. SO far as the association could ascer-
tain, none Of the banks in the vicinity Of
Pittsburg would require assistance has
had the effect Of allaying all uneasiness.
In addition to this emergency fund, $780,
600 has been received by James w. Pat
tersUn, president Of tho Iittsb1rs,- Csnrne-I
gle and Western railroad, for immediate
deposit in anticipation Of the improve
ments under construction here for the
Wabash railroad.
It will be some time before the money
will be needed by the various contractors
but the bulk Of it will eventually be paid
out in this district for wages.
The government experts at work upon
the books Of the two banks which have
suspended declare that they have so far
found nothing serious and have heard Of
no news that is not reassuring.
