All Records Broken in Georgia and Ala bama-
 Columbus, Ga, March 1O.-- Special )-- The Georgia and Alabama Industrial In- issue:
 Tt is said that in the Spring a young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. and It fs equally true that in this section of the country the fancy of the in- vesting public has turned with the same uIf- erring instinct to building operations. Dur ing the past week all records of the pres ent year in the way of projected construc- tion in the two states were broken. and the buildings of more pretentious nature is quite an imposing one. It may be true that business conditions in some sections of the country still show, to a certain extent, the effects of the depression of last Noyera- Der. but 1t Is equally true that very dif- ferent spirit prevails in industrial and con- struction circles in Georgia and Alabama. judging by the many enterprises that have been launched during the past few weeks.
 Not only was the announcement made during the past week of a great many new structures of many kinds that are to be erected, but real estate deals were numef- farms S and timber lands Gsrman syn. m dicate which wishes to purchase tract of some 10. 900 acres in the South suitable for vestigating the situation in Georgia and AL abama, with a view of locating colony at some point in one of these States.
 "A representative of leading Mexican railway is now visiting the Birmingham coal fields and before he leaves will prob ably place an order with some of the mines there for 120.000 tons of coal for his rail- road.
 Among the many industrial enterprises, of which announcement is made in The Index this week: Bottling plants, Columbus. Ga, and Clanton. Ala; cannery. Savannah. Ga. furniture factory, Rome. Ga; stove foundry, Bessemer, Ala. ginnery and Ice plant, Dawson. Ga; hollow-ware factory, Bessemer, Ala; overall factory, Rome Ga; novelty works. Talladeea, Ala; paper mills. Atlanta, Ga; tupentine plants. Waycross and Jesup, Ga.
 Conspicuous among the items of pro jected construction are: Six-story office building. Mobile Ala; hotel, Cordele, Ga; apartment house. Macon, Ga; fire engine house, Woodlawn, Ala; three bridges, three churches. and paving plans in five cities.
 Five other cities propose to issue bonds One of them. North Birmingham. Ala, has ordered election on issuance of $5.O00.00O of bonds for construction of waterworks and lighting plant About dozen new corpora tions are reported. one of them t20O,0e0 mining company in Birmingham.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. March io.--There were conttn. ued signs in today's stock market of ths
 ar Of benevolent control by skiiiful ana | o.ner resourcefui speculative leaders, com pSsans within the description of profes- sional market.

 Is a we'll known device of the best known speculative leaders who have con ouceteo great movements in the market to vary movement in reactions, digest their own profits from time to time in that way s1sr,,,a,,u sna as the same time shake off weak the market In the event of the development or any untoward circumstances The rise during the dun period of which the accu- mutation was effected from which the rise started had reached from five to ten points today's early trading. The reaction was regarded as normal therefore Of the ru- mors which have developed and helped of opinion with the realization of the un- substantial fabric of which they are conn posed This was notably true of those deal ~eRfCSC1 were to make opportunities for active spec ulation. when prices ceased to go up. most of these stories dropped out of view.
 On more substantial basis was the im- precision brought away from Washington by delegations carried there by anxiety over the scope of proposed measures for the re- striction of activities on the exchanges of the country. including stocks, cotton and grain. Less fear was expressed of reckless interference with the exchanges of the country after personal contact with the au- thorities in Washington.
 Some buying for London account was q factor in the absorptiye power of the mar ket. The sub-treasury figures. showing cash net gain in the days operations of stocks of S7.23s.000 reflected the turning over of government deposits by the banks in response to the call of the secretary of the treasury. The effect on the money market was not aprpeciable.
