MERCHANTS TO ELECT

SENTATIVE TO portland
AND BELLlNGHAM.
National Grocers to Meet in Former
City and State Organization
in Latter.

At the regular meeting of the Retail
Merchants association next Thursday
evening the delegates to the National
Retail Grocers convention in Portland
June 20, are to be elected. Also the
delegates to the state convention to be
held in Bellingham the latter part OF
June.
1t is not known how many dele
gates will be sent to the state conven-
ton, but in all probability two will
go to Portland. The usual month for
the convention is in January and the
holding of it in June means great self
denial on the part of the grocers, as
June is one of their busiest months,
but the Portland delegation wanted the
visitors to see their city when it was
at it's best The A.-Y.-P fair also had
some bearing on the time.
1t is estimated that about $50 visitors
will be in the city during the conven-
ton, representing all parts of the Unit
cd States. Several special trains will
carry the dispensers of food stuffs.
The ST. Louis train will embrace
members from Arkansas. as we'll as
from ST Paul and Minneapolis. The
train will travel 65S2 miles at an indi-
vidual cost of STA day. Daily travel
will average $50 miles. A piano is to
be carried and dancing is to be a fea-
ture for the young people.

The weather of the present winter has. so far. been unusually mild throughout the East Gulf and South At Iantic States. The unseasonabiy mild weather has been so pronounced that 1t has caused quite a depressing effect on many lines of, business. The aver age man may infer that this reference is to the fuel business only. But the effect Is much more far-reaching and Is felt in many lines of trade.
 The weather of this winter to date. Is almost a parallel of the conditions which existed throughout the South du- ring the winter of 18sS-s0, which was practically without killing frost in many portions of the cotton belt. At were stili blooming and fruitinE, when plowed for the new crop of 1890.
 In discussing the matter with Sec ton Director Chanee. of the local Weather Bureau. he stated that the same meteorological conditions that produced the warm, comparatively dry winter of lsss-so. were causing the mild weather of the present winter. Du- ring the winter of nineteen years ago. the great distributing weather factors, the areas of high and low barometer. nearly all took the Northern circuit. across the upper valleys and the Lake region, instead of swinging Southward as they normally do in their drift across the country. It is this succession of highs" and Flows" that give the .vary- ing weather changes.

 The great majority of these areas passing across the country to the north. ward, resulted in sluggish atmos- pheric circulation in the Southern States, and hence, few weather changes and but little encroachment of colder air from the North.
 So it has been during the present winter. Nearly all of the areas of de cided nigh and Tow" have passed across to the north of this region. One or two of the highs" with the accom- panying cold waves which started in this direction. changed their courses and got back to the northern path. which they seem to be partial to, this winter. The Western districts. as re- suit. have had plenty of cold and ample precipitation, but the weather over much the greater portion of the soutn' has been dry and balmly. with cotton still blooming in some fields ana roses still blooming in the open
 The law of averages prevails in the weather as.in other things. A period of abnormaiiy warm and dry weather Is usually followed by a protracted cold and moderately wet period or by short periods of cold and exceedingly wof weather.
 Thesspring of 1890 was a rather cool and wet one in this section. the month of May, 1890, being particularly wet fn this section. At Montgomery the ram fall for that month was 6.1T inches in excess of the normal Judging from this 1t would seem that the section of Ala bama surrounding Montgomery, is in for a cool and wet spring.

SEEK VALUE OF NOTE
LOCAL FIRM DEPENDANT IN CASE
 OF GADSDEN BANK.
Ii Is AIIeged That Steiner. L0bman q Framk EnaOraed Note for
 Firm Which Became Bankrupt.

Occupying the entire session of Tuesday. the case of the First National Bank of Gadsden against Steiner. Lob man and Frank, of Montgomery. was heard in the City Court of Montgom- cry, before Judge Sayre. Much of the testimony in the case is yet to come, and court adjourned Tuesday after noon to continue the suit this morn ing.
 The ease Is a suit for $2,50O. with interest, which. 1t is alleged by the bank, was the amount of the banks note against Wohl Brothers of Gads- den, secured by a virtual endorsement by the Montgomery firm.
 Wohl Brothers, declare the allega- tions had been upon the verge of in- solvency for some time, and to. aid the firm to continue business. several bus mess houses entered an agreement. by which they induced the bank to ex- tend the loans to Wohl Brothers, prom ising to stand as security. Later con tinues the complaint. Wohl Brothers became insoIvent, and the agreement was recalled.
 It Is to collect the $2,5OO from the Montgomery firm of Steiner. Lobman and Frank. that the suit is being waged, upon the allegations of the Gadsden bank.
 The case involves technical legal points. which flinders progress. and which will. without doubt prolong the case through another days session of the court

Outside of a few comparatively small notes. for the payment for fire hose. the city of Montgomery has no out standing indebtedness. For provision has been made, by an appropriation of the Council. to take up the last note of S10.2s6.eT. which Is held by the First National Bank. and is due Feb 1.
 Notice of the paper. and the date of maturity was served on Mayor Teague Tuesday, but it did not occasion 8 sinking of heart as has similar l. O. Us of the city in the past. for there was the encouraging knowledge that the city has the money. that the money has been appropriated by the City Council.
 There Is a long, long heartfelt sigh of relief In the ofice of Montgomery's executive. for the time of stress in money matters is for a while over.
 The note being as good as paid, with the appropriation waiting in the vaults of the city depository. there come the sincere relief that every business man knows--when period of financial tribulation is safely past.

FEW FORECLOSURES
HIGH LEVEL PROPERTY VALUES
 MAINTAINED HERE.
Montgomery Made A Most Favorable Showing During che Depres. sl0n of the Past
 Year.

Property values in Montgomery have shown a phenomenal strength in main taining a high level all through the depression of the past year. In praac- tically every city of the State as well as the South. there has been . fall and in many instances, a pronounced one This is the emphatic consensus of opin- ton among the local real estate men.
 Sales have been slow, largely because buyers have expected to trade at the low prices, that prevailed elsewhere and have failed to find property own CTS who were willing to part with their holding at the least sacrifice. All ready, however, the real estate busi- ness Is picking up and transactions are based very largely upon ante-panie values.
 One firm sold farm properties worth s125, 900 in the last six weeks and others are similarly having an increase of business At present. there are buildings to the value of S100.0oo. be- ing erected about the city. Most of these are small homes on the outskirts of the city. There Is no real estate man in the city but that has orders to purchase property, in the commercial section. yet who Is unable to get desirable location even at a high hg- ure.
 That Montgomery compares so favor ably with the other cities of the State, Is attributed to the business conser- vatism prevalent here and also to the fact that a very small proportion of the property in the city. is n1ortgaged. In Birmingham. for instance some 75 per cent of the property was mortgaE- ed, before the panic. This meant, for one thing. that much interest has to be paid in a time when money was very tight. Foreclosures resulted with the concomitant low prices, anA the forcing down of the neighboring prop erty values. In Montgomery, Sn the other hand there were proportionato- ly fewer foreclosures than in any oth- CT city in the South. In fact. the prop erty was very largely held by men who wanted not to sell. but to buy more.
 Money is still a little hiKh to faeli- Hbate real estate transactions. The present rate of per cent. when prop erty. generally is bringing In little more than per cent, leads capitalists to make loans rather than purchases. except when it is necessary, for special reasons. to acquire property. The real estate trade. however, Is already show ing 6 tendency to be active.
