concessions are offered. Demand for
wooden fabrics is also somewhat irreg-

are still almost uniformly favorable
An immense bushes Is doing in the
West and Northwest, Southern jobbine
trade shows expansion and Inability "a

goods is the main subject Of complaint
at Eastern markets. September. like
August, appears to be scoring heFvy
gains over the corresponding month a
year ago. Officiat crop reports confirm
previous public and private advices OF
price and traffic conditions are bars ia
free movement. Car shortages are nc
longer subjects of speculation. but are
an accomplished fact Money Is rather
easier, especially at the East where
large gold imports on special terms
have weakened rates.
Collections are In the main ratnei
easier although a few South Atlantic
markets note the delay due to cotton
crop uncertainties. Prices OF staples
show great strength and are In fact q
encouraging, though 1t is worth noting
that later advices from Europe do not
point to as large an outlet as was ear
OF grain. The biturrinous coal trade 4
very dull and the anthracite trade needs
cool weather TO stimulate IT.
Cotton fabrics easily lead the list OF
textile products which report very act
i've demand. Some lines of sprine
goods have been withdrawn owing to
tho mills being sold up. Cotton manu-
facturers are optimistic. Dress goods
RIGS are also in good sale and even
wooden fabrics are active. There Is
further evidence OF Improvement in the
silk Industry. The raw cotton market
shows some strength this week.
More normal conditions. a sort of a
reflex action from the excitement that
prevailed in the pig iron market up TO

rushed up over seven points on enor-
nous speculative dealings on the Stock
Exchange today.
Various rumors were circulated to ex-
plain the violent advance but none of
them obtained any official sanction. Re

be obliged to divest themselves of
ownership In their coal properties I'M

the control of Reading were rebuying
the stock In large amounts which was
recently put upon the market out of
their holdings. other coalers sympa-
thized to some extent with the Read-
ing movement owing to their similar
situation In relation to coal properties.
Reading reacted slightly in the Anal

MIR. FOSTER WILL NOT RUN.
Tuscaloosa Man Not I'm Race for Speak.


| 1t has been officially announced that
j. NJ. Foster of Tuscaloosa, whose name
has been prominently mentioned as a
candidate for the Speakership of the
next House of Representatives In the
Legislature. will not have mis- name
presented for that honor. Although
the friends of the Tuscaloosa Repre-
sentative have been pushing his name
forward with strong support, Mr.. Fos-
ter himself has announced his intention
OF refusing to contest for the honor.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Foster from
the race narrows down the contest
for the honor to a five-handed affair,
in which Capt. r. Tyler Goodwin and
w; L. Martin. of Montgomery. A. S.
Lyons of Mobile. T. L. Bulger of Tus-
caloosa and J. J. Arnold of Calhoun
will be the contenders. Friends of the
five candidates are pushing their claims
