Big Race Will Be Run Today and Rookmakers are still Making Open Bets--The
 Entries.

Cincinnati, June 9.--The twenty fourth renewal of the Latonia Derby will be run tomorrow afternoon at tho Latonia Jockey Club.
 The Derby this year contains more entries than any other race of it's kind, and though ten horses are carded to start, it is now certain that Garantua and Still Alarm, two of those entered, will not go to the post. In the event of rain Pink Star will probably be the public's choice, notwithstanding the penalty he has picked up by "inaing the Kentucky Derby.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Report on Cereal Crops is Expected
 Today

New York, June 9.-The report of the Agricultural Department on the condi- ton of the cereal crops to be given out tomorrow is awaited with great interest in the financial community.
 The expectation that it will show considerable improvement in the con dition of the wheat crop over that shown a month ago has played a con- siderable part in the better tone of speculation In the stock market this week.
 Reports of condition by several of the State authorities covering the same period as the expected government re- port and which show material bet terment during May furnished ground for this expectation. Weather news during the past week also indicated that some progress was made In mak- ing up deficiencies in temperature and moisture. which had been against the wheat crop. The government report on the cotton condition given out early in the week was not regarded as con firmatory of the CXtrerHc pos-imism which had been rife In the trade. Ground for the hope of much improve ment in the cotton prospects with fla vorable weather conditions following the period covered by the government report was also Indicated hy the Te- port and the weather news since has been better
 Altogether the week has seen a dis tinct Improvement in the feeling re- garding the crop prospects and auxi- ety over a possible absOlVte failure of the crops has subslded. The problems of the crop outcome are of the first importance In shaping the financial disintanglements which are In pros pect and the speculative comment Is correspondingly frightened with this betterment of prospects.
 Another substantial factor in the i'm provement of sentiment is the better showing of the railroads in reports of net earnings in April. The gross earnings of railroads have shown no sign of impairment at any stage of the doubts, which have overspread the financial horizon. the heavy movement of traffic being fully sustained through out.
 But the rate of operating expenses by reason of the rise In price of ma teriaI and labor had expanded so much in excess of the gross increase up to April. showing that grave misGivings had grown up over the ability of some of the railroad companies to keep up their present rate of dividend disburse- ments, with the threat to the integrity Of net earnings thus indicated
 This tendency of railroad net earn ings in the recent past has been re-

TOBACCO MEN KICK
WILL ENDEAv0R TO HAVE ACT OF
 LEGIsLATURE REPEALED.
A Number of other Repeal Bills VIII Be Presented at July Session
 of the Alabnma Legislature.

A bill to repeal that section of the Revenue Code. compelling dealers in general merchandise to pay an addi- tional State and County license for dealing in cigars and topacco. will be presented to the next Legislature. The tobacco men of the State have already begun to move In the matter.
 Of all the additional taxation put upon the people of the state by the present Legislature. that paragraph of the Code requiring all dealers in to- bacco to pay $10 State, and a B county license. has created most criti- eism. Under the old Code the man who did a general mercantile business was not required to pay new license Tor the little tobacco and cigars he kept for the accommodation of his GUS toners. as his general license covered his side line tobacco.
 Hut the new code changes this. It takes the business of cigar and tobac- co selling out of the general license and demands of them a separate h- cense. Another peculiar reature of the Code. and of this tax i1 that the man who does business in the country, no matter how large his stock or store may be. does not have to pay 1t, while the man in the incorporated town or Village, no matter how small his stock may be, has to pay the .ax. That Is the way the law reads, but nobody un- derstands why 1t should read that way.
 The complaint against the law has been so general that an earnest effort will be made to have that feature of 1t repealed. The effort will have the support of many merchants and to- bacco men of the State.
 It is expected that there will be a number of repeal bills presented, to undo in July, what the Legislature did in February. The prospcots for the repeal bills, however. do not seem bright. The Legislature has left only a thirteen days session Of the fifty days allotted by the Constitution, when it meets on July g, for the short sum mer session The Governor could. if he saw fit, prolong the session many days longer. but it is now believed the Governor has no intention of exercis- ing this authority.
 determined effort will be made to get through the Legislature, the bills repeating the heavy taxes put up on corporations lending money in Ala hama. and upon all money lenders Pe- titions asking for thefrepea1s of these privilege taxes In order that Alabama get the benefit of low rate of fn- terest, have been circulated in various sections of the State. ana the petitions have been generously signed. Those well informed. however, do not believe that the repeals will go through. be- cause the Legislature made appropria- ttons so unprecedently large. that the new privilege taxes will be needed to furnish the money.

EXPECT DISCLOSURES
LAND AGENT AT WORK IN SOUTH
 ALABAMA.
Government May Cause Arrest Of sev- eral Persons Near AtmOre For TrespasxinE on It's
 PrODerty.

Atmore, June 9.-(Special)- )-That disclosures of a sensational nature will occur here within the next ten days is every evident.
 B. W. Marshall, a special agent for the United States government, was here yesterday on an investigating tour and discovered that trespassing on the government lands in this section Is De- ing done extensively. Names of the parties involved in the matter are not obtainable at this time. but 1t Is gem orally thought that they are prominent turpentine operators.
 Mir. Marshall arrived in town Friday night from New Orleans and spent all of yesterday Investigating the matter. While he was very secretive 1t is posi- lively known that there are several persons implicated and that arrests will follow in a short time. The charges that will most likely be brought will be trespassing On govern ment land, conspiracy to defraud and falsely proving up homesteads.
 The cases will probably come before the United States grand jury at its next sitting in Mobile. and promises to be interesting.
