 It is obviously too early for re- strenuous efforts to work off goods. Within another week or so trade in this line probably will show expan- sion. There has been no tendency to over buy. high prices having made for the exercise of caution.

Mot Familiar With
 Browder Situation. !"
HEARD OF SCRAP IN NEW YORK
Did Not Prolong Absence Because
 of Fight.
Nayor-EIeet spends Afternoon at Base BaI Game. But win Conner With Aldermen on Saul Ordinance
 Today.

T am not familiar with the present situation with regard to the Saul or dinance. and I do not care to make statement about the matter at this time. diG not arrive from Canada un- til this morning. and nave had little time to acqnaint myself with the exact status Of City Council pro- ceedings during my absence" said Mayor-Elect Gaston Guntef, yesterday afternoon.
 Mir. Gunter returned to Montgomery after several weeks absence in Mon- treal, Quebec. Buffalo and New York City on a belated train yesterday morning. and during the afterhoon did not care to worry himself with the details of city affairs. He attended the baseball game, without seeing those Aldermen or officials interested in the present municipal scrap.
 "You may say, however. that first learned of the Saul ordinance through The Advertiser. purchased in New York City on September i. I endeavored to secure back copies of the paper, but was able to secure only three issues. In the first issue. I saw that 1t was ru- mored that was prolonging my ab- sencs until the scrap was over.' I wish to state that knew nothing of any scrap until I saw the paper, nor did any of the members Of my party know anything of the fight.
 Before left Montgomery I heard rumors that my appointment of Brow- der as Chief of the Fire Department would be contested by the Council. I heard rumors some time before my trip. I asked MT. Browdcr to call at my office. and I assured him that I would appoint him when I entered up, pn my term of offfce.
 "That I knew anything of the Saul ordinance. and kept away from Mont gomery because of 1t. Is untrue. In fact, my return was somewhat hasten. Sd by the statements in the paper"
 Mir. Gunter stated that he would see the various members of the Council today. and would endeavor to learn the status of things municipal trans- piring during his absence.
 It was expected that the return Of Mir. Gunter would calm the situation with regard to the fight on the re-ap- pointment of the Fire Chief Tn an In. tervlew published several days ago, Mayor Teague stated that he would withhold action on the ordinance for the full period. awaiting Mir. Gunter's return in the hope that the Mayor elect would pour oil on the troubled waters"
 Onicials of the city knew of Mir. Gum ter's return yesterday and matters on the ordinance were at a standstill awaiting his. announced opinion. Mir. Gunter did not busy himself with the situation. and those interested in the matter had no new developments.
