DU MP MORE COAL
 INTO NEW ORLEANS
FACT THAT OHIO RIVER IS so LOW THAT PITTsBURG CANNOT ENTER FIELD

Birmingham is again the buying ground of other coal districts on &C., count of unforeseen incidents. It was stated yesterday by representative coal men here that 2000 tons of coal daily above the regular shipments are being sent to New Orleans for the river trade on account of Pittsburgs being unable to ship to New Orleans at this time. The river. which is used by Pittsburg to get coal to New Orleans, is very low and shipments cannot be made until this transportation agency improves
 The coal Is being purchased by the Pittsburg interests and others who re- quire an immense tonnage every month.
 Erskine Ramsay of Birmingham, senior vice president of the Pratt Con solidated Coal company, returned yes terday from New Orleans. "The low river which Is used by Pittsburg in placing cheap coal In New Orleans has resulted in Birmingham's selling this new tonnage" said MT. Ramsay. For the past few days we have been selling about 2000 tons per day from the Bir- mingham district, which Is being placed on the river and into barges atSNew Orleans. The Pittsburg interests can not compete with Birmingham when the river rate on coal Is removed and for this reason we are at this time beating them to the business. In fact they are very glad, indeed, that Birmingham Is able to holm them up In this emergency. look for this business to continue for several days or perhaps weeks. No one can tell when the river will go up.
 Birmingham will this year place more coal into New Orleans than has ever been shipped from here in the history of the district. It will go far above 100000 tons, which has been the ambition of the industrial mer- chants here for many years. It was thought useless to try few years ago. However 1t has been demonstrated this season that Birmingham can put coal into New Orleans and compete with the Pittsburg people. who have held monopoly for many years. Business In New Orleans looks pleasing. The mer- chants are all in fine shape and every indication points to great trade this season. The financial people in New Orleans are not at all timid about mak- ing investments and this is a sure in- dication that the conditions are en- couraging."

BILLS OF LADING
 IN MORE TROUBLE
OF DISCRIMINATION IS FILED BY CERTAIN TOWNS WITH STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION. WILL COME UP MONDAY

The validated bills of lading for export cotton shipment. which since their adop- tion by the railroads have been subjects for agitation, will encounter further trouble from the railroad commission of Alabama. A petition has been filed before the commission from citizens re- questing an investigation of the fairness of the designation of certain points as validating agencies. In the petition the claim is set out that in so designating certain points the railroads show a dis crimination against other cotton towns.
 Under the present rules of the railroads regarding the issuing of export cotton bills of lading certain towns and cities are designated as validating stations and an agent Is authorized to issue the bills. At such centers or validating points the bills of ladng are negotiable. This, the petitioners to the commission claim, Is a discrimination that removes a large amount of money from certain points every season. This petition has been made, it is understood, by quite number of the smaller towns in Alabama, which have in the past rested very securely upon the business transacted during the cotton shipping time.
 The bills of lading, with every safe guard against forgery or other mlsrepre- sentation, were agreed upon by the bank CTS and railroad men of this country fol- lowing the failure of Knight, Yancey & Co., and Steele, Miller & Co.,
 The method has been disapproved by the English bankers and a conference Is now on in New York looking to an adjustment of the controversy.
 The solution of the Alabama end of the controversy will come up at a meeting of the railroad commission, which will be held next Monday. In addition to this subject, the commission at it's meet ing next week will discuss the Bessemer depot matter, depot at Lennett and the general routine.

TRAINS DELAYED
 BY SEVERE STORM

The first direct results felt in Birming- ing along the Atlantic seaboaHd was the demoralization of traffic on the Atlantic Coast Line, which delivers the Seminole limited to the Central of Georgia from Jacksonville. That train is due here at 11:45 a, m., but yesterday, on account of the severe storms. was several hours late.
 Passengers arriving on the belated Sem- mole said when the train left Jackson were very threatening, but that Jackson vile at that time was not much affected However, later reports indicate that every Florida city was injured greatly by the storms.
 The Seminole rah into the storm again while making its way up the Florida coast, but no damage resulted. The net result was delays in making the sched- ule.
 The report was general here that the Central of Georgia was seriously affect ed by storms near Savannah yesterday Superintendent Ramsay of that line, who was here yesterday, said that so far as he knows there is no serious trouble He said every train was operating on time. However, last night 1t was given out here that the Central of Georgia had been seriously damaged near Savan- nah
 The impression here yesterday was that the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic was a victim of the storm at Bruns- wick That company has it's best shops and docks at Brunswick and if any irf- terest was affected this company suf- fered on account of being nearer tide- water than other properties. It is gen. orally expected that traffic on that line in the freight department will be handi- capped today. The trains on the other lines were operating fairly well yester- day. The Seminole limited to Florida was on time and started on its way to Jacksonville.
