Stocks and Bonds

New York. june 29.-The stock
market made some stand today
against the disappointment caused by
the failure of the New York City bond
offering. The small number of bids
for the bonds did not. in fact, come
as a surprise to the banking world in
spite OF the %factious confidence in its
successes which had been built up in
stock market for speculative effect.
1t appeared. however. that most of the
selling prompted by the disappoint-
ment had been completed yesterday
and prices were bid up again today.
Assistance was civ en- to this move
ment by the circulation of JUNIORS that
the bank statement would prove an
agreeable disappointment. The state
ment failed to reflect the heavy loan
contraction which had been alleged
in these rumOrs and the cash loss
ran to the full figures of the estimates.
There was some loan contraction
however, evidently the result of call
ing in of funds placed in the mar
pending the necessity for their
employment in the payments of dlvi-
dends and interest which begins on
Monday. Che professional clement

MARK TWAIN'S VILLA.

From the Washington Herald
 That Mark Twain, when last in Wash ington, was only joking when he talked to old friends as If he did not expect to live much longer, and that he was pre- pared to so is demonstrated by yhe fact that he has just accepted tie plans for a fine villa to be built on a large tract of land he owns near West Bedding, Conn. The villa has been designed by a son of the humorist's chum, William Dean Towels, and Is patterned after that In which he lived for so long a time in Italy with his wife and daughter, who are now dead. The estate is said to be all that Mark Twain saved out of the wreck of his fortune caused by the disastrous fail ure several years ago of the publishing house In which he had proprietary in- terest. MT. Clemens let everything ex- cept this estate go to settle the debts of the firm. and then he resumed his hard work again. out of which he has accumu- lated another comfortable fortune. His wife had dreamed of duplicating on the estate the charming villa in which she had spent so many happy days with her devoted husband under the bright skies of Italy. and it Is said that Mark Twain is erecting the villa more as a mark of reverential respect for her than for his own comfort.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-04-01
Eleven Gents for a Bid Crop

Ellison's estimate of the. worlds consumption of American cotton in the present cotton year is generally accepted. He put it at 12,154,000 bales, and the crop will be at least 1,3O0,000 bales more. This will lead 10 a considerable surplus.
 And yet the price of spot cotton at the ports remains at about II cents, and it has scarcely been less for any considerable period since the cotton year was begun. No such price had ever before been maintained for a crop exceeding thirteen million bales. The value of our cotton exports is far ontrunning the value of shipments from the great crop grown in 1904, the excess thus far being about $52,000,- 900.
 The fact that the world is taking a crop of almost unprecedented size at Il cents leads some to think that Elli- son has underestimated the worlds consumption, but whether his figures for this year are correct or incorrect, il is plain that the world will soon de- mand from Us thirteen million bales, and any deficiency will be reflected in high prices for raw cotton.
 The days of 6-cent cotton have passed never to return. Ten cents may now be considered the minimum price, although in March, 1899, the staple brought but 6 cents. Let no one expect a return of those prices, no matter how hard the times may be- come. A naked world looks to us for great annual supply of cotton, and spinners know they will hereafter get no spinnabe cotton below 10 cents.

Street LiQhts

Birmingham has been revelling in moonlight nights. During the past week everybody has remarked the brightness of the sky. The moon and stars have seemed to surpass them selves. Never were nights In Jones valley quite so brilliant. Artificial lights almost paled before the moon. But soon again will come the dark nights and the mayor and aldermen will be reminded that more street lights are needed in this town.
 The business district is well illum- mated, but many residence highways are poorly lighted. Some of them are not lighted at all. It is bad enough for villages to grope In dark ness. There is certainly no excuse for city of Birmingham's size to be without sufficient electric illumination lO ouI tDu dlC Dui ohouiu be added fully 100. Even if we had ade quate police protection in the resi- dence sections, the streets should be amply lighted. But it is well known fact that Birmingham's police force Is numerically small. All the greater reason there is, then, for providing additional street lights. Every light serves as a protection to pedestrians and to property. Highwaymen and burglars fear the light. A few thou sand dollars will pay for all the addi. tional lights needed.
 Let the city fathers act, and act promptly, in this matter. Every alderman should look over his ward the first dark night that comes and ascertain the number of street lights needed and have them installed with out waiting for taxpayers and renters to get up petitions.
