No event or attraction ever held IN
the state will so interest and profit
the farmer, the stock raiser, the fruit
grower and the public in general as

 fallen 36 to 30 per cent below those of
 July last year. This fact was accepted
 as conclusive evidence of the sharp sst

 on the ourtailment in enterprise which had been foresaen as soon as the dim
 culties of the railroads in securing
 capital for carrying out projects for
 betterment had developed.
 Copper prices abroad have continued to decline and the expected waiting demand has not yet come in sufficient volume to fix stable conditions in that market. With this condition in the metal trades the influence Is lessened or lost on reports of activity of other lines of trade and the evidence in the still expknding bank activity and the course of activity in the mercantile Hines. This evidence of sustained mercantile activity and the large re- applied help to complicate tho outlook in the money market. from which re- lief 10 considered essential to insure

 the reports of conditions of the great central banks give warning of tho com-

 If is believed that the question or prohibition will come up and under report to be submitted on the question of dispensaries against saloons there will be some discussion looking to an election here in the fall or next spring to decide on prohibition. It Is claimed by the advocates of prohibition that inasmuch as the county can ask for an election looking to prohibition that enough signatures can be worked up calling for such an election and that 1t would be sure to carry when sup mitted to the vote of the people.
 A petition will be presented to the pastors at the meeting Monday morn ing signed by many prominent clti- zens of Birmingham and many or them property owners and church men, re- questing that the pastors let the sub feet of prohibition rest . for at least two years It is set forth that the I.erisiature has adopted laws which will regulate the whiskey traffic strons- ly. has fixed a closing hour. has en- acted a law prohibiting the shipment of whiskey from a wet county into dry county, has regulated Hop Jack" and other similar beverages. has cut out a number of dispensaries and fixed A strong prohibition law in many coun- ties. that enough has been accomp- lished in that direction for while. It 1t set forth in the petition that BirI mingham and other places In Jener- son County are not yet ready for strict prohibition and therefore the pastors are asked not to urge the question for at least two years Such a petition was never before present. ed.
 A prominent saloon keeper In Bir- mingham, one of the best known In the State and conducting a place patron ized by the best known people in the State, announces that he Is ready to sell his place of business at par.

 The immediate developments serv- ed to weigh on sentiment and indnce heavy undertone to the speculation. ai- though there was a mixture Of favor able factors which acted as restraint on weakness. The most notable or she latter class of incidents was the show ing of the United States Steel Cor poration for the quarter ending !uiy 30 or record net earnings of over $fo' 900 exceeding the most sanguine of the preliminary estimates.
 The falling off in the thrilled or ders on hand from the preceding quar- fer was restricted to a little over 4Oo.- 900 tons and left that item well in cx- cess of the figures at the correspond ing period last year.
 As tho period covered was that sup seouent to the break in March Tn the security market which was the heralo of the reaction to come. the report on its face might be regarded as hiehy gratifying as an exhibit Of the mooer- ate reaction to which general indus trial activity had been subjected. The large sums made available and set aside for the enlargements and exten- sions in which the corportion $ en- gagged insured its immunity also from the embarrassments from scanty avail able capital and generous interest charges which have been such grave
