BUSINESS ACTIVE
 ON MORRIS AVENUE
GROCERY JoBBERs RUSHED AND PRODUCE DEALERS HAVE FAIR " GOOD TRADE-EGGS AND SOME POINTS ABOUT PRICES.

Business on Morris avenue was active yesterday. The grocery 5oboers made large shipments and the produce dealers were fairly busy.
 Commission merchants are expecting a large holiday trade. Eggs are now in good demand at A cents to 25 cents. but in two or three weeks the price will go up to 30 cents or s5 cents wholesale. The retail price is now 30 cents, but before Christmas it will be 40 cents. Eggs have ruled higher ih the fall in recent years than formerly. It used to be that the farmer or country merchant would ship eggs and sell them at any price that happened to be offered, because they needed the money. Many country ship per got only 15 cents for eggs because he was constrained to sell even when the market was glutted. It Is different to- day, that is to say, in cool weather Farmers and country merchants are in better circumstances and do not have to sell until they are ready. In other words, they hold their produce for good prices and they get them.
 Receipts of eggs were rather light yes- terday. The poultry market was quiet. Turkeys are not yet being shipped in large numbers, but in a week or two they will come with rush and will bring fancy prices. Dressed turkeys are now quoted at 171k to IS cents wholesale.
 There has been an improvement fin the apple trade this week. Stocks are better and are selling all the way from g to s350 a barrel

MEETING TONIGHT OF SUBCOMMITTEE Primary Election Officials May
 be Elected POLITICS IS INTERESTING Municipal Candidates for Office Got in Good Work on General Election Day-city Committee Race.
 Election Gossip.
POLITICS IS INTERESTING

Now that the national campaign is a thing of the past some interesting de- velopments are expected in the municipal campaign. With the primary election less than two weeks off some hustling will be done by the various candidates.
 The past week has been dull in local politics, but the mayoralty contest is to be strenuous from now on.
 On November 21 Birmingham is to chose a mayor, nine aldermen, three members of the police commission, chief of police, a judge of the police court, and members. of the city demo- cratic executive committee.
 Last Tuesday the various candidates for mayor and for other city offices put in some good work at the four voting places in Birmingham. There were cam paign cards and other literature in abundance at the polls, and as each voter would come up to vote the national and the county tickets candidate for city office would button-hole him and ask for his support in his candidacy.
 subcommittee to Meet.
 The subcommittee of the city demo- cratic executive committee will meet to- night at 7:39 clock In the headquarters on the third floor of the city hall.
 Chairman G. B. Burkhalter will pre- side, and 1t is expected that the full committee will be on hand. It Is thought that the subcommittee will at it's meet ing tonight chose the managers, clerks and returning officers for the nine wards in Birmingham. In the selection of these election officials the wishes of the candidates for mayor will probably be dominant. The members of the sub committee agree that all five candidates should have equal representation at the polls.
 New City Committee.
 Interest is being manifested in the race for the new city committee. Eigh- teen members are to be elected, two from each of the nine wards, and the First and the Fourth are the only two wards where there is no opposition. After the run-off primary the new committee will probably meet and organize for the next campaign. Several names have been suggested for the ehairmanship of the new committee, but no formal anonunce- ments will probably be made until after the coming primary election.
 A chairman and secretary of the com mittee can be elected from the commit tee, or if the committee sees fit 1t can go on the outside to select officers.

ALA. REPUBLICANS
 NOT HARMONIOUS
Dissatisfaction Said to Exist in
 Rank and File
COMPLAINTS REGISTERED
Claimed Little Discretion Used in the Campaign Mananement-Effect of Roosevelt's Announcement
 That He Would Not Run.

The much-looked-for rejoicing in the federal building failed to materialize yes terday. On the other hand the officials there appeared to be down-hearted to some extent.
 It Is understood that many complaints have been registered at the headquarters of the republican state organization with reference to the recent results in the state of Alabama. A large number of party leaders were in Birmingham yesterday, and there is said to be not the least doubt but what dissatisfaction exists in the rank and file.
 Republicans from different parts of the state are asking many questions of the party leaders here in Birmingham. They claim that but little discretion was used in the distributions of funds over the state, and that as result the party is the loser.

Cause of Disappointment.

Said a republican last night:
 'I regret very much to see that certain members of the party are disappointed from the results of the general election Tuesday in Alabama. They claim that in the Seventh and Fifth congressional dis triets but little judgement was used. If the party manages to elect a probate judge in Winston county, which now seems probable, 1t will be the only county officer elected in this state. In the Seventh district we had an excellent chance to defeat MT. Burnett if the pol icy of the party had been carried out as I expected. Instead of exerting the very best efforts in the white counties of the state, it appears that party leaders placed their confidence in the black counties, and as a result the party has gained noth- ing"
 In Alabama there are three republi- can referees. They are J. O. Thompson, Charles H. Scott and W. F. Aldrich, al- though the latter appears to have but lit- tie voice in federal patronage now. It is claimed by some party leaders that a certain official in Alabama Is now very CiOSc lo IHc ptIcSiuciI anu lldJ MT Roosevelt consults him on all appoint ments of any importance in the state.
 Olstimers Pushed Aside.
 It Is claimed further that many old timers in the party were set aside in the recent campaign and that the young CT republicans who have always held up their end of the fight have been absolute ly ignored. It is said that the small vote of the party in this state is due to the efforts of a few leaders to build up a machine. These of course are only repub- lican claims.
 The declaration of Mir. Roosevelt to the effect that he will not again be a candi- date for the presidency has cast some what of a damper over local federal of flee holders As a unit they appear to be entirely dumb founded at the declara- ton of the president. and 1t is said that some of them are "quaking in their boots"
 Thero is a wide difference of opinion among republicans as to the effect of the position of the president upon the negro question. It seems to be the opinion of a number of local leaders however. that the chief executive will drop this matter entirely now.

Free Silver Men.

The chiry of the free-silver man was frequently heard on the streets of Bir- mingham yesterday, and the I-told-you- sos were easily numerically ahead of the Smith and Jones families combined. They were positive from the start that Parker wouldn't be winner, and now they lie awake at night in their efforts to fix the place and time where they said it. One well-meaning citizen when asked for an explanation said that the task was too difficult for him. Did you ever see a baseball game tied" he asked, and then see some big strapplng fellow come up and lam the ball against the fence with the bases full? If it Is the opposing that does that you have a pretty hard state of affairs to explain. That's just the way 1t was with Roosevelt. He simply waited till the bases were full and with heavy willow cracked the ball square on the cocoa and that Is all there Is to 1t. We must now await for another game

LOCAL DEMOCRATS

One Man Says That Newspaper Mer Will No Longer Read of Those Morning Baths In the Hud-
 son at Rosemount.

Between the hours Of g and 10 o'clock yesterday morning many well known, dyed-in-the- wool democrats dragged them selves down town and after straight ening out that all-nlght feeling attempted to avoid any effort to explain the exact whereabouts of Judge Parker when the cyclone struck
 T beg of you not to kick a dog when he Is down." pleaded one poor democrat, who few days ago had visions of democratic administration job. We couldn't help 1t down here. The solid south stuck by the candidate, as she always does, but it seems difference of opinion existed in the east, west north west and middle states. We shot the democratic ticket straight through in Birmingham and I think that Is enough. The best we can do now Is to wait un- til Monday week and have little cleo tion of our own. I am of the opinion that Birmingham doesn't cut much figure in national politics anyway. The local Parker and Davis club fought to the last ditch but our votes were killed in New York. Again I beg you to leave me alone for three days so that l may get my thought collected so as to offer an excuse"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-11-10
Best Opinion.

The best opinion offered by these be- draggled citizens, who stayed up all night for just one ray of hope, was that Roose- welt had won because there happened to be more republicans in the country than there were democrats. Others think that Debs and Watson cut many votes away from Parker and they say that accounts for the falling off in majorities as com pared with William J. Bryan
 It was a sad day in Birmingham and the only persons able 70 get up smile were the little handful of republicans who waited all the morning around public gathering places to exult over their dem ocratic friends. Many citizens were una ble to work at all and those who did closed their offices early and went home to forget 1t.
 '"rhe greatest anxiety prevails in Br- mingham for the future of Esopus,' re- marked a novelist. This pretty little town along the Hudson, within it's bucolic citizenship, suddenly sprung into national fame, and the fall into obscurity has been even more sudden than the rise. Never again will the newspaper readers be re- viled with picturesque stories of the | judge taking his morning bath In the Hudson, and all that Is left for the neighbors is to sit on nail kegs at the nearby grocery store and repeat oft-told tales of the times when newspaper writ CTS and other miscreants tore up the lawns at Rosemount In search of infor- nation. There will no more delegations to visit Esopus, and the farms will never again be threatened with being being cut up into city lots"
