Big Improvements On East

East Pine street between Main and
Mobile streets is playing a leading
role at present in the way Of improve

First and foremost in the matter of
work accomplished is Joe Shelby's
new store, which is nearly finished

week. This building was formerly oc-
cupied by Moore Bros. Grocery, and
while it Is not new, the work Mr.. Shell

makes it practically so, for with the
exception of walls and roof it has
been almost rebuilt. AS it now stands

as the government is doing away with

The basement is divided into four
compartments; a lavatory and shower
bath for the carriers; a rest or read

a large hot water heating pant, and
a chain of small passageways provid-

LOW PRICES EXPECTED UNLESS
THERE is AN EARLY ADJUST
MENT OF STRIKE.
ENGLAND OUR BEST CUSTOMER
Many Mills Have Closed Down and
Others Will Have to Close IL the
Strike Becomes More General In
the Island.

Miss Giles considered the greatest
cotton expert in the nation issued
this morning from New York a report
on the cotton crop showing a condi-
tion of 83 per cent against 80 $40 per
cent on July 25th but on account of
the serious industrial conditions in
England the market opened slightly
lower in face of this report.
In discussing cotton conditions
Messrs, H. & B. Beer, the New Or
leans brokers, write as follows:
"The general trade and labor situa-
tion in Great Britain has become
worse by reason of failure Of negota-
tions looking to the settlement of the
existing differences between capital
and labor in the British Isles. So
serious is the situation that the
streets at'Liverpool are said to have
been transformed into an armed
camp, with thousands of troops held
in reserve. Latest Associated Press
advices are to the effect that railway
workers in England will be called out
at once and that an industrial war
has been declared throughout the Uni
ted Kingdom. There is no telling
how long this deadlock will last, as it
will probably be difficult to arrive at
a settlement satisfactory to both
sides. The last big strike in Manches-
ter and it was only local. was on for
six weeks. In this case, however, the
fact that food supplies are at stake,
makes it possible for an early adjust
ment of differences, as the British
Government will be sure to take pos
session Of the situation with an iron
hand. In event of the strike becom-
ing national in scope and lasting for
any length of time, English trade will
be badly crippled, and would have a
direct unfavorable effect on the cot
ton situation in the South, and on in
ternational trade in general. Mills in
England would be closed down, many
of them being closed down already,
and for want of an urgent demand,
stocks of cotton would accumulate in
the South. Receipts of new cotton
at inland points and at the ports are
of record breaking proportions. gins

tions, on double time in sections OF
