being S1225000 The final payment for tL,
bridge not falling due until November there
were until that time sufficient funds to pay the
city expenses. In November however the
obligations on the bridge fell due and it became
necessary to borrow some money with which
to meet the amount then payable. A temporary
loan of $1,000. 90 was effected. This was fully
paid in February AND there was in the treasury
March 25th, 1909, the sum of S3379s3 the out
standing orders being $685. 1t may be
noticed perhaps that the amount of orders
paid directly for the bridge are less than the
amount of the contract. This is explained by
the fact, that S282.0O was paid by the city in
crushed rock and there is a balance still
paid of $4,000 held in reserve until the side
walk is reconstructed. There are now no out
standing debts of the city except the orders
mentioned and the bonds.

 The barbecue arranged for the second day of the convention will be served by members of the Local Advertisers Club. who will add to the zest of the occasion by appearing in white aprons and the typical chefs caps. The barbecue. with its burgoo and roast meats, is attracting as much attention as the prospect. of an un- limited supply of mint juleps. The latter was oneNof the lodestones which drew the convention to the Kentucky city.
 The convention will have It's own daily paper. A Cincinnati publication devoted to the advertising field has announced that 1t will issue a special each day of the convention covering every detail of the gathering. The publisher has declared that he will scoop" the local ;iailes.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Aug. 15.--The develop ments bearing on the financial outlook were of sRficient importance last week to keep stock market valuations In a constant state of fiuctuation in the att tempt to gauge the situation.
 The professional attitude was of con- stant suspicion and watchfulness for reaction. Freedom with which this suspicion was acted on in the way of selling stocks short only to be com pelled to buy them in at higher prices. accounted for part of the recurrent strength of the whole market.
 The skeptlcism manifested by the professional operators in the market was not due to any unsatisfactory news .nicaI position. The close approximat- ing of the price level to the highest record of New York stock exchange prices made in 1906. was itself an of- ten cited reason for being on guard.
 The present level. of prices. while still somewhat below the averages for the picked active stocks touched fn 1906, is held to represent higher ab- solute range than ever before touched. The former averages included the in- Hated prices touched by several of the great North western railroad systems in connection with valuable subscription rights to new stock issues and the dis tribution of the Great Northern Iron Mine properties to its stock holders.
 Another ground for the opposition of the habitual traders to the advance IS the number of important happenings which have come to pass after having long served their purpose as factors in the speculation. It was this element in the speculation which attacked the market when the tariff bill was passed arguing that 1t was not possibly for results following the bill to be bright CT than specuiators had beeH taking for granted while buying stocks.
 The same procedure was followed after the publication of the govern ment crop report and the after effects were much the same in the absorptive power of the new demand for stocks.
 While there was some momentary disa ppointment over the sharp detefi- oration in/ the condition of the corn crop, the Government crop report on maturer consideration served to clinch the conviction that agricultural pros- perity was assured for the season. |. The decline in the corn condition left the crop estimate still at record fig- ure and the oats crop, practically gar neFed, also stands at recorF.

 Even the impaired cotton crop was said to be materially bettered by the rains<reported in the Texas regions. Another field of marked brightenina of conditions was in the copper indus | try A fact of some influence in this brightening was the monthly report oi | the Copper Producers Association The heavy decrease of 32,000.0O0 poundl

Furnace Corporation May Relieve Re-
 Birmingham. Aug. 15-(SpeciaD- According to. w. E. Leake, one of the receivers of the woodstock Iron Com pany, that concern. which has a fur- mace making iron in Anniston. and mines and quarries and coke ovens in full operation in that part of the state, as .Sfsll as around Birmingham. giving employment to a thousand and more men, will be able to get out of the receivership within the next sixty or ninety days.
 A reorganization plan has been worked out and steps are being taken now to relieve the receivers, J. M. Barr and w. E. Leake, with prospects of success in the move.
 J. M. Barr, who was at one time president of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad and also in charge of the exposition at Norfolk few years ago, Is at the head of the coappany to take the woodstock corporation out of its financial straits. He has been at the head of the company for some time. The furnace in blast is doing well and the income of the concern is quite healthy.
 One by one ali the iron and coal companies that got into financial straits are being taken out of the courts .and shortly the activity in this state will be exceedingly interesting.

REVIEW OF LUMBER

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. 15--(Special.) With the passing of the tariff bill,
 and the accompanying relief from fur ther uncertainty. a decided improve ment was shown in the lumber trade during the past week., and the lumber
 manufacturers expect business from now on to be brisker than 1t has been
 any time for two years past. says The Southern Lumberman.
 Although the lumbermen did not get what they were after in the wood
 schedule of the tariff bill. the decrease in the tariff on rough lumber from S2 | to $1.25 will not prove a sefioust draw back In fact, the bulk of the lumber which will come into the country, as a result of the reduction in the import dutyfi will be from Canada. As far as the South is concerned the only wood
 that will come in competition with this | Canadian lumber will be yellow pine. for with the waning supply of white
 pine the lower grades of Southern pine had found a good market along the
 Great Lakes. The seventy -five-cent difference in the import duty will cut no figure in prices and but little in sales
 of any high grade stock. Interviews
 secured by The Southern Lumberman from lumbermen in all sections of the country show expectations of good bu-- | mess for the rest of the year and many
 prediction that the year 4910 will be one of the best in the history of the in- dustrV.
 Case of MIssisHIppi Retail Dealers. About fifteen of the Mississippi mem- | bers of the Mississippi and Louisiana
 Retail Lumber Dealers Association
 made, during the past week, a compro-
 mise settlement with Attorney General J. B. Stirling for the alleged violation | of the antitrust laws of Mississippi
 and their cases will be dismissed. The
 terms of the compromise were that
 each member of the association pay to
 the State $500, and agree to drop. their
 appeal to the United States Supreme
 Court. The remaining fifty seven
 members of the association will make
 the appeal.
 The violation on the part of the re- tail lumbermen of the antitrust laws
 of Mississippi. under the courts decls-
 ion. did not relate in any way to an 1 agreement on prices for the lumber | they sold, but was the agreement
 among the members of the associa tion
 not to buy from manufacturers or wholesale dealers who sold direct to
 the consuming trade. The Mississippi
 association before adopting the con-
 stitution which contained the object-
 ionable agreement, submitted this con- | stitution to the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature. which passed the anti
 trust law referred to. and 1t was de-
 clared by members of this committee | to be within the law. The retail men then made an agreement with the At
 torney General that suit would be | brought under the new law so that the l association would know if they were in conflict with its provisions and th@rA
