LETTER FROM MRS. DUNCAN.
Wife of Frank Duncan Thanks People
 for Their Kindness.

Mrs. Myrtle Duncan, the widow of Frank Duncan, who was hanged here last Friday for the murder of Policeman Kirkley. has written the following letter to The Age-Herald:
 T wish to thank each and every one that came to my assistance in my dis tress and need, and I want to say to the ladies of the city that all that loving mother could have done for me has been done by Mrs. J. J. Bailey who has nobly stood by me from the first of my trou- ble to the last moment. It was Mrs. Bailey who was with me at the Jail to plead for me to have one last word with my hsuband. She also assisted me at the undertaker's parlor. May God bless her. Her Christianity stands out like beacon light. Anyone who has my welfare at heart can communicate with me through Mrs. J. J. Bailey at 1894 Fifth avenue Birmingham. ''Very respectfully,
 MRS. TANK DUNCAN"

PRODUCE MARKET
  NOW VERY ACTIVE
LARGE VOLUME OF STAPLE VEG. ETABLES BEING HANDLED HERE-FREsH EGGS AND COLD STORAGE BOTH IN DEMAND.

Birmingham produce brokers report an is in a healthy condition. The volume of business transacted the past few weeks has been large, and prices have been good.
 Large quantities of vegetables and fruits are handled by the Birmingham dealers at this season. Turnips, cabbage. pota- toes onions, apples and bananas are dealt
 in on an extensive scale. All of these staple vegetables are imported, the local supply being exhausted. The weather is very favorable at present, the dealers losing only small per cent from decay. During wet weather the losses are often considerable, but the cool, dry atmos- phere, of course, preserve fruits and veg etables.
 Despite the high prices, large quantities of eggs are sold on the local market Birmingham people are very fond of this article of diet and high prices do not eff feet the volume of safes to a great extent. The cold storage product is being heavily sold at present. Fresh eggs are naturally preferable, but the enormous demand can not be accommodated all the year round by the fresh article. Cold storage eggs are quoted at 23 cents and the fresh ones at 25 cents per dozen. Generally the dis crepancy in price Is only one cent, but at present the difference is two cents.
 Quite lot of poultry is disposed of on this market, and the prices are always good. The usual Thanksgiving demand for turkeys was very heavy the past week. Prices ruled high. The market has got to a normal level again, however, and prices are a few cents off. Quotations are 121a to IA cents on foot and IS to 20 cents for dressed and drawn.

Moonshlne We'll Has an Estimated Ca

Houston, Tex, November 2a.-The Moonshine well, at Humble, twenty miles from Houston, was brought in today as a gusher, with an estimated capacity of 10000 barrels day. The well was under control, and was per. mitted to gush only long enough to demonstrate that was real gusher.
 The quality of the oil Is very good, having a paranne base. A half dozen other wells are nearly ready to bring in as soon as tanks are completed. The new field is to be located on the Houston and West Texas railroad, and work on loading tracks and storage tanks has been under way for some time.

 While there seems to be an idea that the price of the pig metal will go higher, there Is no disposition on the part of fur mace companies to force the amrket. On the contrary manufacturers take a very conservative view of the situation and say quotations are high enough for the present
