 Autumn retail trade broadens under the stimulus of favorable. weather and collections also improve. While re- ports are almost unanimous regarding the satisfactory volume of retail dis tribution of seas0nable goods In other sections of commercial activity there Is some irreguiarity. Yet leading cities at the West and South find no restric- tion in supplementary orders at whoie- sale and jobbers report new lines Tor spring as well received.
 Copper declined stili lower but prices were steady in the leading metal m- dustry.
 More inquiries have siven>a better tone of pig iron and fair tonnage of basic iron was sold Billets are quiet and slightly easier and there is some idle capacity at tin plate mills. Plates and structural materials are the strongest departments of the finished steel market and bar mills have enough business to operate during the balance of the year. Consumers feel san guine that waiting policy will bring better terms, fair demand IS noted for prompt shipment of merchant steel
 In the textile industries the event of the week was the cut in prices by Chicago house. There was no evi- dence of weakness in cotton goods prior to that reduction. which in some lines amounted to twenty per cent and Eastern jobbers did not follow the W&stern movement Producers in New England are all sold so far ahead that there is no occasion for concessions.

 Steel Plant.

Birmingham, Oct. 1s.--tsbeciai. )--A big meeting was held at Rnsley, the steel suburb, tonight against prohfbi- ton and several of the large indus- trial magnates Participated therein, delivering Addresses.
 F. 1T. Crockard, Vice-President and General Manager of the Tes.nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, was among those who appeared Ut the meeting, while one of the priests of the district also delivered an address against prohibition.
 Considerable condemnation was cre- ated in EnsIey today when 1t was am nottnced that several hundred men had been laid of in the immense steel plants of the district around Ensley. No cause was assigned for this. though some say 1t was on account of the pro- hfbition agitation. Rumors were rife last night that the steel companies would reduce their working forces, but not until 1t became a fact was any interest taken in the matter.
 A big prohibition meeting was held tonight at the 41ippodrome, in Bir- minghaan, Rev. George Stuart of Ten nessee being the principal speaker. Rev. MT. Stuart is an evangelist of much force.
 The fight Is on in earnest in Jeffer-' son County, and both sides are now claiming the best of the campaign.

. Parker Hears News.

Parker. one of the gentlemen who invited the President to hunt In the State, and who himself was a mem- ber of the hunting party until business required his returning to New Orleans several days ago.
 The telegram to Mir. Parker was signed by Leo Shields. another mem! Der of the party. and read as follows

 No particulars were stated in the tel- egram. but Mir. Parker surmised that the President got his bear late yes : terday Two days ago, several trails were struck, but only once did the dogs come up on brpiD, and then it made t necessary for tbe hunter to kill the bear immediately in order to save the dogs. It was announced yesterday that the President had started out ear ly and that with fresh and better dogs trails had been struck in the morning and were being followed in a lively manner.
 Mr. Parker believes that the bear was finally run down and cornered in the canebrake and that the President, as Mir Shields Expressed it, wont into the thicket after him." obtaining success ful shot.
 A later arrival from Bear Lake brings the information that the Presi- dent shot the bear he killed yesterday as it came out of the canebrake near the camp. The animal had been chased for half day by Ben LllIey and ne- gro assistant. who followed close upon the heels Of the hounds

why? Because in midsummer,
when the crack pitchers Of the op-
posing clubs in the league had round
ed into shape and were going along
at their best. the heavy hitters Of
the Philadelphia club were at a dis
advantage. and they had nothing 10
fan back on.
In modern baseball, pure and sim
pie smuggling viii not carry any team

There viii always he some pitchers
that the sluggers cannot hit consec-
uJively. Then the team 10 win must

II take It that the Cleveland club,
ike the old Quskers, has no resource
in reserve. When its policy Of
straight, hard hitting does not avail
.it is all at sea. The old Philadelphia
club was supposed TO be the strongest
in the league. and It was so. IN pure
