well the placing of exhibits there for
the state and Birmingham district 1t is
expected that some definite plan will be
agreed upon. and that work leading to
the desired end will be begun at once

full in his efforts to have the railroads
grant reduced rates for the Alabama
home coming week He made six trips
to Atlanta before this end was finally ae-
eomplished. as the representative Of the
Southeastern. Passenger association was
not inclined at first, to grant the request
of the Commercial club in this matter.
Mr.. Babb states that much interest is
being shown by Alabamians all oyer the
country In the homecoming" and that
he is constantly receiving acceptances to
the invitations which are being sent out.
From present Indications, according to Mr.
Babb the celebration will be "A great
success and will be the occasion of many
thousands of former citizens of this state
coming to this city. as well as visiting
their former homes throughout the state
as the railroads have agreed to make the
reduced rates apply to any point within
the confines of Alabama.
The membership of the Commercial clul
is rapidly increasing. The work that this
organization has done In the past for the
city and district and the efforts it is max
ing to advertise Birmingham are attract
i ing the attention of many who formerly
thought 1t was not worth while to be a
member and are influencing them to join.
Many applications for membership are re-
eelved daily and the officers of the club
are highly elated at the interest which
is being shown In its work.

LUMBER MARKET WEAK.
Despite the Decreased Output, Prices
Are Still Near the Bottom.

Although lumber prices are down to
levels that have not been reached before
in several years. the market according 10
reports shows no symptoms of Fighting
itself. But for the curtailment In the out
put of mills some of which have ceased
operations altogether, still lower figures
it is said, might be recorded. As a re-
suit of proximity to the sources of sup
ply the Birmingham lumber market has
suffered more than the common depres-
sion.
Some wholesale concerns ARE getting
more at the mill than the local retailers.
The cause of the whole trouble is con-
ceded to be the recent bullish attitude
of the mills coupled with production too
large for prices to be sustained. In spite
of this condition in the interior. the ex-
port market Is strong, and shows no
signs of sympathetic weakness.
