Regular Annual Meeting.

On Wednesday night, next, the regu- lar meeting of the General Council will be held. Aside from the regular routine two important matters will come up. One will be the election of an alderman to fill the vacancy caused by the election from that body of Hon. Cary W. Butt. to the office of city tax collector, to succeed the MT. Frank Petrinovich. For the aldermancy there are three candidates so far announced, Messrs. F. O. Hoffman, Emil Tacon and F. F. Grotz. Of these MT. Tacon was a former member of the body. The other position to be filled by election will be that of ambulance steward for the emergency ambulance recently pur- chased and to be installed at the po- lice station, and to be operated by the city. For this position only one name has so far been announced that of Mir Jack Dair, 0 well known local young man who, for several years was a pro- fessional nurse here and who recently gave up this profession to enter the field of journalism. The places is con ceded to MT. Dair and hls friends pre- dict he will fill the position with credit and to the benefit of those who will, unfortunately. have need for the ambulance. This being the annual meeting, all heads of departments will file their reports for the year.

THE NEWS OF MOBILE
Advertiser Bureau,

MODlle, mdTCn 1S.
 Almost a century ago, when Mobile was. so to speak, in her infancy the people began to realize the importance of protection from fire
 To this end volunteer fire companies were formed. On March 18th, 1919, was organized what was known then and now as Neptune Fire Company, No. 2. The number indicates this was the second organization to be formed. The roster contained the names of many of the then prominent citizens. About twenty years ago the volunteer fire department. comprising nine companies, was disbanded and tho city adopted the paid fire department system. But with the going out of service of the volun- teer department the members of the several companies did not disband as organizations. They retained their identity separately and, finally merged into what is now known as the Volun- teer Veteran Fire Association.
 Neptune. which today contains many we'll known citizens of the roster. will tomorrow evening, at S:S0 o'clock, in Young Mems Benevolent Association hall, hold the eigthyseventh annual meeting for the election of officers. At the conclusion of this meeting a ban quet will be served commemorating the happy event

Birmingham Wants Convention.
DIscunsiuc the ReuOrt.

No little interest Is being taken in the report of State Mine Inspector J. M Gray, and his two assistants, in re- gard to the Virginia mine disaster which is said to have been prepared and will in the next day or two be sent to Montgomery to the Acting Cover nor.
 There Is probably a round of criti- cism in store for the State inspectors if the report is actually sent to the Act ing Governor this week. inasmuch as all the water in the mine has not been withdrawn and all bodies of victims of the terrible explosion of February 20 have not been taken out. It Is argued that if the mine Is not yet to be inves- tigated from top to bottom, from side to side, that 1t Is not reasonable for the State inspectors to submit a report on an accident which, for all that Is known, might have been started with the man whose body is yet In the mine. Not a single man who was in the mine at the time of the explosion is alive today and so 1t will be necessary for the State inspectors to make a close inspection of the property. It is well. so men say who can talk. that verbal testimony should be secured as has been done, but 1t is also well that the inspectors. who are experienced miners or mine workers, should visit every portion of the mine before rendering a report as to the cause of the acci- dent. The mining world is anxious to hear the official report on this accident. Whatever kind of explosion 1t was,. the nature of the mine. etc, Is information of considerable value. so a statement made already that the inspectors have prepared their report and will send 1t shortly to the Acting Governor is like fly to bring about some gossip.

(By Private Wire from Gilbert & CIayD
 New Orleans. March 11.-Egyptian houses buying with few selling orders was given as the cause of the strength of the Liver pool market, which. in closing at an ad- vance of three points on options was slight iy better than due. Spots. on sales of ', 900 bales. gained two points. Our market open cd 4Q5 points higher in sympathy with Liverpool and buying, induced by the un- settled weather conditions prevailing over the belt, caused further slight improve ment. The bearishness of the visible sup- ply statement apparently had no depressing effect. The decrease in the American vis- ibie being less than half aR much as in the comparative week last year.
 the consumption is to reach 1900, 900 mills takings. which. up to the present time. only exceed last year (when consump- tion of American cotton was 10, 200, 0OO) by 26I.00o bales. During the twenty-five re- maining weeks of the season the approx innate amount must be a million bales in excess of last year an average of 40. 900 per week.

suppositions as te Hasis of Movement Were Connicting and Rumor of
 Intended Increase fn Dividend Waa FncfOF.

New York. March 11.-Yesterday's sudden spurt of seven points in Chesapeake and Ohio led to a much ex- cited conjecture as to the cause and was the stimulating influence in todays stock market Suppositions as to the basis of the movement were conflicting and various. Yesterdays rumor of an intended increase in the dividend to 4 per cent was a continuing factor and gave rise to the general theory of a busements on the part of the railroad companies under the Pennsylvania domination. This report was supple mented by story of plan to form a new railroad system with an outlet in the middle west to the Chesapeake and Ohio Atlantic terminus. This story ex" tended the speculative excitement into the moddle western Vanderbilt stocks, which already have affiliations with the Chesapeake and Ohio. If to the stocks thus affected is added the South ern group. which was temporarily strong and active. the limits of the ac- tive movement in today's market will be generally defined. The rest of the market was comparatively quiet and was under pressure of realizing at and Ohio itself was sold to take profits and its occasional rallies did not carry 1t any time to yesterdays high level. New York Central and Pennsylvania shared to the full in the movement in their subsidiary stocks. The profit taking in stocks affected sentiment and increased the disposition to realize to- wards the last so that the closing was decidedly irregular and net changes mixed in spite of great show of strength during the session. The complexion of the bank statement had been quite accurately foreseen and the small changes in the various items in- dicated no change from the present easy condition of the money market. Total sales of bonds par value $2,395,- 900.

Lond0u Stock Market.

London. March 12.-Under the infiu- ence of the reduction in the bank rate and the prospects of cheaper money the stock exchange became active and strong during the week. with the fea- ture the conclusion of ,19-day account with practically an unbroken advance in prices. Good board of trade reports helped increase the strength of consols, while the bullish feeling was accentu- ated by the Russian reverses. It must bring about negotiations for an early restoration of peace. Some confidence is derived from the fact that the for eign buyers remain calm on Russian bond deals in the face of serious Rus sian reverses in Manchuria.
 American securities continue strong and active under the support of Wall Street and increased continental buying with the feature heavy investments in bonds by French houses.

Turnover Was Small.

Manchester. March 12.-The cotton cloth turnover last week was of small CT dimensions, though still fairly large. while the demand for shirtings was insatiate. Indian orders show the greatest reduction after recent heavy buying but China absorbs well for de- livery far ahead. when makers are will ling to enter fresh orders. Near mar kets were steady. American spindles, 1t was reported. will soon be ready and American cotton will thus increase in competition and outputs and affect spin ners margins. Yarns were firm. de- spite reduced business. American grades were most in demand.
