WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
TONE OF GENERAL BUSINESS IS
 CONSERVATIVE.
Crop Developments Favorable Fall Trade Reports Indicate Improve ments, and Monetary Con
 ditions Show Less Tension

New York. Sept. 4.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 favorable, fall jobbing trade reports indi- cate further improvement and &nonetary conditions show less tension The tone of general business Is conservative. Man. ufacturing industry shows continued ac- tivity except in such lines as cotton and silk production which note the influence of special conditions and some lines of iron and steel. Evidence of an approach cite coal Is to be seen. Some improve ment is noted in car scarcity trouble and gross earnings of railroads continue large. but increased cost of operations or heavy Improvements limit net receipts. Failures show only the usual midsummer volume so far as number is concerned, total liabilities particularly of small financial institutions and manufacturers. Collections are still rather backward, though some improvement is noted where backward crops have been realized upon.
 The tobacco crop promises well in Vir- ginia, Connecticut and Ohio.
 Dry goods are in better demand from Eastern jobbers, but business at first hand is limited by uncertainty as to the outlook for raw cotton prices and the small stocks of goods now being carried In woolen goods good demand for spring slightly. Wool is firm on demand. sum- ciently to cover sales of goods. Lumber Is active and firm at the West, but rather slow and draggy at the East. Solid jew elry manufacturers are busy at the East but are still above the 100000 case mark at Eastern centers and far ahead of last year. Leather Is in hand-to-mouth de- mand, but a large aggregate business is moving Prices of iron and steel as a whole show strikingly little change. The hardware trade is fully up to expecta- tions.
 Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending September 3. aggregate 3,13, S39 bushels against 3,245,0 056 last week and 6,276 299 this week last year.
 For nine weeks of the cereal year they aggregate 2.1001S bushels against 43. :. O52, 598 in 1902. Corn exports for the week aggregate S6s.7H bushels. against 766, S2e last week and q, 196 year ago. For nine weeks of the present cereal year they aggregate 9194.0S6 bushels against 775, ,S55 in 1902.

NOTICE WILL BE GIVEN.
Proposition for Branch Court at
 Headland Will Not Fail.

Headland, Sept. 4.-(Special.) .)-As stat ed in Wednesdays Advertiser, that which promises to perhaps terminate in a po- litical upheaval in Henry county has not been delayed as reported by your Abbe- vile correspondent. The first notice that a bill for this purpose would be intro- duced into the Legislature appeared in The Headland Post under date of Aug. H. and not on the 29th. as reported from Abbeville. According to law, this notice must appear for four weeks. and as the fourth notice will appear on the 17th inst eight days before the close of the Legis- lature, there will be sufficient time fol Its introduction and passage. No town in Southeast Alabama has shown more growth in the last twelve months than Headland. and 1t controls a territory which embraces a majority of the voters of Henry county.
 At the expiration of this notice, the bill will be promptly introduced and evry means brought to bear for its passage. The people who live in Headland's branch court territory have to travel from twelve to twenty-five miles to attend court at Abbeville. therefore the necessity of a branch ourt at Headland.

SCHOOL BOOKS DELAYED
COUNTY sUPERINrENDENTs
 MAY SUE PUBLIeHERs.
Contracts Provided That Books Must Be Delivered Not Later Than |. September l, and Some
 Not Here Yet.

A delay by certain of the book publish CTS who have contracts with the State. in the delivery of the books adopted by the State Book Commission, may result In suits brought by the County Superintend- ent of Education against the tardy book publishers.
 The contracts made by the Text Book Commission provided that the publishers have the book in the county Repositories ready for distribution by September 1st. Although yesterday was the fourth day after the expiration of the time limit, books from two of the contracting pub fishers have not yet been received by the State Repositories. Still if the books ar- rive at any early date there will be no serious inconvenience suffered by the country or city schools.
 Nearly all the schools of the State do not begin their term until October l. A few of the city schools begin in Septem- Der. The managers of the State deposi- tories have been in correspondence with the superintendents of the schools which begin in September. They do not appre- bend that there will be any notable delay to any school in securing it's sbooks.
 The machinery for the distribution of the books Is simple. The law provides for two State Repositories, which the Text Book Commission located at Mont gomery and Birmingham. Ed c. Fowler was made the manager of the Montgom- cry Depository and the Birmingham De- pository was established in the store of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb.
 The law further provides for three county Repositories in each county of the State. These subordinate Repositories are supplied with the books from the State Repositories.
 The State Repositories have been sup piled with all of the adopted books ex- cept those of Silver, Burdete & Co.,, and the University Publishing Company. The books published by those concerns which were adopted by the Commission have not yet been received. They are expected daily. The books of the contracting firms have been received by the State deposi- tories and are being sent out to the county Repositories. -" In the event any of the adopted books do not arrive in time for the opening of the fall terms of the schools, the County Superintendents may enter suit against the publishers who have failed to send in their books on time.
 In fact, under the terms of the bill damage suits could now be brought against the publishers by County Super intendents.

Dun0s Trade Review.

 A striking contrast appears when com parison Is made with the corresponding week last year. Prices were then tend ing upward in many branches of indus try. new business was coming forward more rapidly than it could be handled and in the security market all records for, ac- tivity and high prices were being sur passed. Later events have demonstrated that the situation was unhealthy and speculative excesses have been followed by reaction and readjustment. Conserva- tism was then the exception; it is now their maintenance are brighter under the present system, although legitimate trade will continue to suffer from the losses in speculation and the high rates for com dustrial expansion.
