 "Is 1t true" the letter asked. that we cannot make wine? We have all ways grown our own grapes, and made from them wine in our homes."
 Colonel Garber has not answered 1t yet: he Is holding his reply, pending another perusal of the Fuller bill. But homemade wine must go with the rest of the "demonrum." or else MT. Fuller overlooked bet.

The same authority mace pup lie bullish report on the new corn crop and as a result the market was strong almost all day and closed at net gains of 5s to 3-4 to l Is. Oats and provisions also closed strong.
 After ignoring a report of the Hun garian Minister of Agriculture, which estimated the wheat of the world to be 262, 2,640,000 bushels larger than that finally were aroused by the report of a local crop expert which placed the win- ter wheat crop of the United States in the neighborhood of 425,oo0,000 bush- As a result of this selling prices broke from 1-4 to l 1-2 in the final hour. The market was bullishly affected during the greater part of the day by prompted liberal covering by shorts. Cash demand here was poor and weather conditions in the Northwest were favorable for harvesting and
 The Oklahoma crop report given out late yesterday which showed a further deterioration in the condition of the corn crop during August and report of a local crop expert which claimed falling off of 233,00o,000 bushels ip the total yield of corn for the United States compared with the latest Gov ernment statistics were the basis of a heavy buying movemen in the corn market which caused sharp advances in all deliveries. One leading short was credited with purchases aggregat- ing more than 100000 bushels. The May delivery displayedt he greatest strength and at oen time was 5-8 above the lowest of the day. There was some realizing at the top and prices at the close were about 1-2 be- low the best marks.
 Oats scored substantial advance owing to buying inspired by report of local crop expert which estimated this years crop of oats in the United States to be nearly 100000 bushels less than forecasted by Government officials. An advance of 1 cent in the price of cash oats due to light receipts also had a strengthening influence. The market closed strong with prices up 1-2 to 5-S to S-4 to 7-S.
 Provisions were strong because of strength of coarse grains. Trading in the pit, however, was light much of the time. Prices at the close were 5 to TIP to 30 cents higher.
 The Board of Trade will be closed 1 Monday September 6.

Montgomery citizens, collectively, are up against a business proposition. sat- urated with civic pride-s6,000 must be raised by this evening. if the Masonic Widows and Orphans Home Is to he located here. The sum of $1O.000 was set as the measure of Montgomery ability by the Masons. $10.000 to be raised in two days. The committees ap- pointed by both the Andrew Jackson and the Montgomery Lodges. by cam vass yesterday. secured promise of 34.0o0.
 Today the canvass will be resumed. and more zealously than that of yes terday. A house to house canvass will be undertaken. and this evening. as Q l1nal effort a joint rally of Masons and other citizens will be held In the au- ditorium of the Commercial Club. pre-. fiminary to the final report of the suh- scription committees to the State com mittee, with which rests the selection of the site.
 Should the s6.ooo not be secured from Montgomerians by this evening. the Home will go to Montevallo or Jack sonville. the two leading rivals of the Capital City for the institution.
 The proposition, put squarely up to Montgomery Tuesday night, was that s10. 900 must be raised by Thursday night. The $10.000, if secured will be

 H. F. vandiver and J. H Cook. the chairmen, respectively, of the collect ion committees of the two lodges. were busted yesterday, in the canvass. The s4.000 raised came, largely, from the ranks of the Masons. in amounts that varied from $1 to s250.
 Today the citizens who are not mem- bers of the Masonic organizations will be Approached for subscriptions, on the basis that the Home is to be Montgom- ery's institution. and not, exclusively. that of the Masons
 The test is welcomed as the measure of Montgomery's patriotism and though the project of raising $6,000 in public subscription in twelve hours appears difacu1t, the committees in charge of the work are sanguine of success
