Montgomery's Weather Was
 Pickle All Of Last Year

and the weather observers were of the opinion that the old State might be getting a bit Tickle. According to old time customs 1t should rain a great deal in January, February and March and the last three months of the year should be comparatively dry. But last year the greatest rainfall of any one month was in November when S.75 inches fell. The least rain came in August when the register showed only but only 1.94 inches fell and January but only l.94 inches fel and January which can usually be reckoned on as being a very wet month contributed only 1.S0 of an inch to the total for the year.
 Also the greatest rainfall for one day came in November. On the elev- enth day 4.13 inches fell in twenty four hours.
 Rain fell on l02 days in the year, -109 days were cloudy, 145 were partly cloudy and there were Ill days that were clear. Montgomery was particu- larly fortunate in not being visited by any very heavy winds. The high est velocity of the year was forty-three miles and 1t came from the south west on September 8.
 This is probably one of the most pe- culiar reports that has ever been sent in from this office owing to the fact that in so many cases the weather dif- fered so far from the normal and what is generally expected.

A Board of Trade for Montgomery will be organized this afternoon at o'clock in tiIe Commercial Club rooms. Enough of the leading mercnants. brokers and other business men oI Montgomery have agreed to go lnto fl1e ganization to assure its success:
 The Board of Trade will in no wise he anta ronistac to the Commercial Ciup F,acb orranization VII have it's own field. The Board of Trade Is crsanlzed for the expres purpose or securing .sronapt quotations or all commodities for Montgomerv business men Ine wire houses in the past furnished tnis information and under modern conol- tfons prompt quotations became nee essity. But the wire houses were apoi- ished by the last Legislature. Tne Board of Trade will be organized 10 meet the necessity for prompt quota tions.
 aThe Board of Trade will be no as- sistant to speculation" said one of the leading promoters of the organization yesterday. There will be no specuia- tion in it. It is simply an effort on th e part of a number of business men ot Montgomery to get commercial quo tations at wholesale prices. Of course each one of us can go to the telegraph -pffce and buy the information, as we .have been doing lately. But we have to pay a high retail price for 1t. while as, Board of Trade we can secure that information at retail prices.

The annual report of Director Chaf- fee of the local Weather Bureau office which has just been compiled and which will be sent to Washington in the next few days shows that the year 1907 was remarkable in more ways than one in the weather world. Tax ing the year as a whole 1t was extremely mild and the wet and dry seasons of Alabama were exactly reversed through no general cause that Is known.
 The highest temperature of the year was 9S degrees and it visited this sec- tion three different times; on July 21, August and September 2. The low est for the year came on January 28, when the thermometer got as low as 25 degrees. The average temperature for every day was 66 degrees which is a little higher than the normal aver age. Averages for the highest temper ature of each day show 75 degrees and the average for the lowest show 56 degrees. The thermometer registered above 90 degrees on fifty-seven days and 1t went below 32 degrees on thir- teen days. Taking 1t altogether 1t was a rather warm year.
 The average humidity was "A per cent and 1t was greatest during the months of January. May and August while 1t was lowest in March, April and June.

FIGHT FOR PLACE
POSTAL TEIEGRAPH COMPANY
 crkARGEs MONOPOLY.
srinEs e Cnse Bsfsre Railroad Cem- sufsston Because It is shut Out of Birmingham
 Station.

Arguments in the case of the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company vs. the Birmingham Terminal Company. vas heard by the Railroad Commission yes- terday after which the Commission rn- served decision.
 The Postal Telegraph Company was represented by Congressman Sid Bowie. The contentious of the telegraph com pany are based on the Alabama con- tract or corporation law. The case IS one in which ti c Terminal Company has declined to give booth to the tel egraph company. stating that contracts made with the Western Union Tele- graph Company exclude other tele- graph lines. The contentious of the Postal Telegraph Company Is that this contract Is not fair or legal in that 1t excludes competition. The contract was made by the railroads holding stock in the terminal company but the contentious of tho Postal Telegraph Company is that the contracts entered Into by the stockholders does not bind | the company or individual.
 Evidence in this case was taken some time ago. and if the Commission refuses 1tc grant the petition of the Pos | tai the case will probably be taken te | the Supreme Court.

RAISE IS REJECTED
DRINKS AT THE OLD PRICES OVER
 THE BAR.
The PubIic Objected Too Much and the Saloon Men Have Restored the
 OIA Flgures.

The prices of drinks in Montgomery win not be raised. That was practi- calfy decided yesterday when the pro- prietors of saloons in the fire district of the city. after an informal discus sion of the question. reflected the prop osition they had at first tentatively re- ceived. to increase prices by from 20 to 33 1-3 per cent
 The first actual consideration of the prospective enhancement of values of things that drift over the bar was made on Sunday afternoon when several re- tailers met to talk over the saloon business. All agreed that the curtail- ment of selling hours was hurting trade to such an extent that something had to be done. and advance of rates was discussed.
 At that time it was suggested that whiskey be sold at Is cents straight export beer at 20 cents straight, milk and egg drinRs 20 cents straight, and draught beer at 10 cents straight. This schedule of tariffs was believed to be the best that. under the conditions now prevalent, could be made. Later, how ever, 1t was thought not to be feasible | and it was rejected.
 A prominent retailer said yesterday that patrons of the saloons had so ob- ] Jected to the larger prices that the pro-
