YESTERDAY QUIET
 IN MONTGOMERY
Legislators Pass an UneventfuI
 day at the Capital
MUCH WORK IS IN STORE
Nearly All Important Bills Are Yet to Be Considered, and the Com mittees Have Their Hands
 Full-Recess Today.

Montgomery, September 6.-(Special.)- Save for the occasional dropping into the legislative halls today of some member for his mail there has been ab- solutely nothing about the capitol to in dicate that one of the most important sessions of the Alabama legislature in history is being held. Many of the mem- bers went home for Sunday, and those who remained here did not seem to care to brave the intense heat of the day to appear about the usual gathering places.
 As tomorrow is also a holiday it is doubtful if many of the members who went home will return before the even ing trains. The session adjourned over tomorrow through respect for Labor Day, but it Is not to be an entire holi- day as several important committee meetings are scheduled. It is the last of the fixed recess days, but there are strong chances that one or two more days will be required to let the com mittees catch up with their work with out the loss of valuable legislative time.
 Practically none of the more impor- lanl DlllS presented at this session are yet out of the committees. The munich pal corporation bill, election bill, pri- mary election bill, stock law bill. local legislation bill, circuit court redistricting bill, dispensary bill, bank examiners Dill, game law, and nearly all other bills that will cause lengthy consideration are yet to be reported and placed upon the calendars This state of affairs exists in both houses. It is not improbable, therefore, that recess may be had on Wednesday and Friday of the present week.
 With a hard days work tomorrow some of the committees may get through with the consideration of some of the more important bills and let them go on the calendar Tuesday

CLOTH MARKET QUIET.
Fair Inquiry for Forward Delivery at
 Low Rates.

Manchester. September 6.-The cloth market had quiet week with fair in- quiry principally for forward delivery at low rates. Business was irregular, the decline in cotton having upset the con- fidence of the over-sea buyers, while many manufacturers are scouting the idea of a reduction in the clothing quo tations, having long been selling at loss.
 Orders for eastern staples were ex- tremely difficult to arrange, buyers and sellers being very cautious. Prints and 1ancies, however. were in better request and there was rather more South Amer lean business.
 There was a fair miscellaneous inquiry Tor yarns. The movement in cotton checked business for the home trade. American yarns, owing to the scarcity due to the present stoppage of mills. showed distinctly hardening tendency.

 Very Small Proportions.

London, September 6.-The rise in the bank rate last week depressed all invest ment stocks and home railways and the weeks business on the stock market was again of the smallest proportions. The condition of the money market inspired anxiety, as 1t is feared that the heavy demands from Egypt and the United States may compel the bank to adopt a 5 per cent rate before the year is out

WATER POWERS ARE
 BEING DEVELOPED Work of Geological Survey Furnishes Interesting Data TALLULAH HIGHEST FALLS Largest Power in the South is at Mussel Shoals on the Tennes-

TALLULAH HIGHEST FALLS

Washington, September 6-(specIal)- The photographic work of the United States Geogical survey in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Ten nessee, Mississippi and Florida, in charge of MT. Maxcy R. Hall, Photographer. and MT. B. M. Hall, consulting engineer, IS furnishing the public with information seasons of the year, the amount of fall on the rivers, and the locations of the nfany large undeveloped water powers in that region. These data. which enable in- vestors to estimate with certainty the amount of power that they can realize at any shoal, have been the cause of a great many recent water-power develop ments.
 Powers Being Developed.
 Some of the powers in process of devel- opment are, a 4S-foot dam on the Chatta- hoochee river at Bull Sluice near Atlanta, Ga. a 36-foot dam on the same river at Gainesville, Ga. a 50-foot fall on Oconee river at Milledegvlle, Ga. a 96-foot fall on Towaliga river near Griffin, Ga.; Z powers on chestatee river near Dahlon- ega. Ga; a 2S-foot fall on Catawba river at Rock Hill, S. C.; and large powers on Broad river at Carlisle, S. C., and on Congaree river at Columbia, s. c.
 Many others have been recently pur- chased by capitalists who are getting ready to begin work. The Chattahoo- chee Falls company has 50-foot fall on the Chattahoochee river at Columbus. Ga, and the Coweta Power company l. -n feet each on the same river just above Columbus, The Atlanta Electric com pany has purchased the Thornton shoal. with 32 feet fall, at Winnings. eight miles from Atlanta on the same river.
 Highest Fall in South.
 These are only a few of the large southern developments that are positive ly assured. The highest fall in the south with a large volume of water is Tallu- lah Falls on Tallulah river, where head of 525 feet can be utilized cheaply by a dam and canal. The largest power in the south is at Big Muscle shoals on the Tennessee river, in northern Alabama where 100000 horsepower can be develop ed.
 Before the United States geological sur vey began it's work in this region, thA public had no idea of the constancy of the streams and the great value of the water powers in the southern Piedmont region.
 There are no large water powers in Florida and Mississippi nor in the coastal plain of Alabama, Georgia 2nd the Caro- linas. but the artesian water suppIys, stafg phenomenal springs. and the under ground streams of these regions arc be- ing investigated to determine their eco- homie value and their scientific slgnifi- canoe.
