Date is Set Back Almost Two Months. New Time Limit Gives Assurance That Capital Will Be Secured For Enhancing Montgomery
 Team.

According to the agreement made with President R. D. Apperson of the Montgomery Traction Company at the meeting held between representatives of the Traction Company and repre- sentatives of the Montgomery Base ball Association January 8, the Trac- ton Company would turn the affairs of the baseball company entirely over to local stock company
 There was string attached to this. however. in the form of time limit in to fulfill certain obligations. That limit was Friday January IS.
 The aforesaid obligations had not been fulfilled. and the time limit set Traction Company had expired, conse- ouently yesterday morning a telegram was sent to President Apperson by the official of the new baseball company, asking him to extend the limit or op- tion until March 15 which as granted.
 The agreement made between the Traction Company and the baseball people was that the latter should raise a sum of money from the sale of stock to be sold in the proposed new compa- ny This sum was fixed in round num- bers at $7.000 which was to be a work ing basis for the new baseball compa- ny, which was to pay over to the Trac- tion Company certain sum of money in advance
 to furnish and equip park. build ade- quate grandstand, bleachers. and fem ces, and to keep them in repair dur ing the coming season. the baseball people agreeing to keep the field in shape during the summer The Trac- ton Company further agreed to fur nish good car service. and to turn over to the baseball company the sum of $250 each month.
 Now the option for the baseball com pany to carry out their part of the agreement has been extended to the middle of March, giving them nearly two months longer, and the officials of the baseball company say that they feel sure they will have sold all of the stock which it intends to carry.
 Everything Is Lovely. Everything is lovely now" said an we will start the season with $4.00G surplus, after paying all incidental ex- penses including players"
 This will be glad news to Montgom- cry fans, as it gives the assurance that baseball for 1907 is now a settled fact l larky to get things together for the opening dash when the bell taps il April.
 One would have to travel a long way just now before hs would run up against a happier man than this same that won't rub off now, and the smile that played about the face of the cheerful pitcher is the midst of so many strenuous games last summer would look like a counterfeit in comparison | to the glow with which the genial fellow greets his friends these days. He knows he has one of the fastest ball teams that ever started a cham pionship struggle, and he has a just right to feel jubilant Every fan in town knows what that outf1eld is, and they know that with Fred Houtz, Sam

PATERSON EXTENDS TIME TO
 DISPOSE OF BASEBALL STOCK

Apperious and Mike McCann, there is a trio of swift baserunners, fast field- CTS and heady ball players that will come near having any bunch of gard eners in this league skinned.
 But there is the infield. and while there are a couple of unknown quantf- ties in it, it looks unusually strong. From recommendations that have come to Montgomery, Connors should more than fill the bill.
 Clayton Perry. on second base. prom m- ises to be 50 per cent faster than he was during the past season. On third base last season the equal of Perry in throwing across the diamond has never been seen in Montgomery. Busch Is a Worker.
 At short there Is not more hard working. fast fielding ball player in the business than Kid Busch He is always in the gome to the last ditch and always working as If his life de- pended on it.
 Biggers. on first, is the only man that Malarky has any doubts about but he says if the tall fellow don't show up well he will put Bill Hausen there until he can find a man to fill the bill Walker is the only unknown quantity in the pitching staff. and if will be one of the coming southpaws.
 The manager himself has been tried and found to be all there. He is one of the headiest pitchers in the business. and his generalship counts for a whole lot in a close, hard-fought game. Walsh should be great deal better in 1907 than he was last year. When he is good, Bert Maxwell has some dazzling speed and a delivery that is unhittable Malarky thinks Burnum will prove a surprise during the coming season, and will be able to hold his own with any thing in the Southern League Bur mum was sick last season, and unable to do himself justice
 Breinenstein, while he pitched some brilliant games last summer. is d bit too light. and will hardly come up to the requirements of the 1907 team Malarky says he wants to carry five pitchers during the coming season. which. with three outfielders, four in- fielders and two catchers, will make the limit of fourteen men.

City Council May EBtoDISsh AuuAc-
 ipal Plant.
 Huntsville, Jan. 18.-(Special )--The light committee of the City Council has been instructed to look into con- ditions and ascertain if it is advisable for the city. to issue bonds and estab- fish a municipal lighting plant.
 The city has the power to do this at any time 1t may be considered ad- visable and there is probability of this being done as a majority of the Council appear to favor 1t. The com mIttee has taken up the question be- cause of the unsatisfactory service now being given. The streets have every night during the last two weeks, this being the result of trouble at the power house, but the electric cars and incandescent lights have burned as usual.
 Only eleven saloons nave taken out licenses to remain in business in Hunts vile. Six saloons quit business be- cause of the probability of having a dispensary located here. Fourteen H. censes have been issued in the county, two of them being for wholesale hous- es and one for a saloon at Gurley. Gurley has the only saloon In Madi- son county outside of the city.

 The entire Northwest has struggled with a series of snow storms, follow ed by intensely cold weather; the Cen tral West and Southern States have had weeks of heavy rains, culminating g in swollen rivers and impassable coun- try roads, while at the South the com plaint has been that the weather has been unseasonably warm and lower temperatures are necessary for fullest

R. c. DUN'S REVIEW
TRADE IN WINTER FABRICS HAS
 IMPROVED.
Clearance Sales Have Made Good Pro- gress and New Business for Spring Delivery is Com-
 ing to JObbers.

New York, Jan. 1s.-R. G. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow Trade in winter fabrics improved as the weather became more seasonable but reports for the week are irregu- lar on account of varying tempera- uation was checked by snow block ades. Clearance sales have made good pro- gross and new business for spring de- sale houses in large volume while col lections show some improvement, all though still slow in many lines Man ufacturing returns could not well be more favorable, contracts in many cases covering deliveries into 1908. while at some steel and cotton mills orders are not accepted for shipment during the Most wage earners are fully employ ed and several liberal advances in pay were announced during the week. Con sumption of pig iron eexceeds produc- tfon, despite the greatest rate of do- mestic output ever recorded, as attested by the heavy imports without any i'm pressing effect on quotations. Pre- miums of dollar or more per ton are frsduently paid for prompt delivery. All sections of the steel industry pro- ceed in a manner that indicates assur- ance of nodecreased activity this year
 Available supplies of coke do not i'm crease, although production Is above all records and prices for remote ship nents are higher than recent spot fig ures.
 High prices stiil prevail in primary markets for cotton goods, yet the ele- nient of speculation is net conspicu- ous, many lines being In a position where no severe rotation Is to be fear ed. This far few cancellations have occurred. and manufacturers are strengthening the situation by conserv- atively declining orders that appear speculative.
 There Is also a disposition to distrib- ute sales among numerous buyers so that the risk with any single customer may be minimized Some export bus mess with China has been accomplish ed but the total Is still small. Tn wool ems meu's wear buyers operate cau- tfousfy, leather trade broadens gradu- ally and the leading produces has ad- vanced prices of sole. Western tanners sell all descriptions of side upper and calfskins freely.
 Packer hides have again shown ac- tivity. sales of 125.00o being reported at unchanged prices. Foreign dry hides are Improved In tone Cotton fiuctuated in response to numerous speculative reports and manipulation. while port receipts and exports con- tinued to show large gains.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for January amount ed to S5,230,34 of which $2,393,f1S were manufacturing, $2.530,So0 in trading and s305.e27 In other commercial lines.
