ALBERTVILLE NEWS

Albertville, September 13.-(Special)- The cotton crop will begin to move freely in this section of the state in a few days. There were three bales marketed here Saturday and quite number of bales are expected this week. The fields gen. orally are white and the picking has be- gun in earnest It is estimated that the yield in Marshall county this year will exceed that of last year somewhat. There is some inclination among the farmers to hold their cotton for higher prices, but as rule 1t will be marketed as soon as picked and ginned.
 The little town of Boaz, five miles be- low Albertville is enjoying building boom at the present. There are several new brick stores being constructed and a number of more being contemplated The town, too, is installing water works system.
 The grand stand at the fair grounds is now practically complete, as well as the race track, and work on the exhibit hall and live stock stables will be rushed to completion. It is probable, too, that numberof Marshall county products will be exhibited at the state fair in Birming- ham next month.

RALLY IS MADE
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Improvement in Flour Trade Gives Strength To
 Market

Chicapo, September 13.-Decided im- provement in the flour trade brought about rally in wheat. Closing figures were the same as yesterday to Ac up. Corn showed a net gain of ss91k to 1c 10 3sc and oats, an advance of sc to Ac. The end of the day left provisions 21aQ71ac up. It was in the last half of the ses- sion that wheat became unmistakably bull lish Early in the day prices had been weakened by an official estimate that the French crop would yield 320,000,000 bush els as compared with 26S, GOO 600 last year.
 Depression resulted also from liberal re- ceipts and good weather in the northwest Many holders were discouraged by the outlook and threw their commodity op the market without reserve but commits sion houses had plenty of orders to buy at the decline. There was sudden shift of spectators in general from the bear side when news of enlarged flour sales developed from widely separated points and was confirmed by better buying Of cash wheat for mills.
 Top prices reached did not hold, but the close was fairly between the open and the finish, December ranging from 961sQ96A to 971s and in the end was pre- cisely at yesterdays figures, 93%967s.
 On purchases by big local shorts Sep tember corn touched the highest price of the season of 6S1a That option ao- vanced just one cent more than other months Longs sold September after the bulge and caused considerable reaction. The reason for the furry lay in the heavy shipments from here of late. De- cember fluctuated from 64b@64A to 6f7s, closing firm, 1s@5sc up at 64a4@647s.
 Cash grades were strong. Number 2 yellow was quoted at 6S@6SAc.
 In oats as in corn the strength of the spot situation tended to give prices lift. There was no sign of nervousness, how ever. High and low points reached by December proved to be 461a and 46rsc with the close Ac net higher at 4614 Ql46ssc.
 Provisions hardened because of the up- turn in corn. The rise was 21k@71Ac and was almost uniform throughout the list

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, September 13.--Cotton fu- lures opened quiet at decline of to 4 points on indifferent cables and good weather map. The market was dull with no decided tendency either way after the call, although conditions favored the short rather than the long side Reports from the belt were more favorable and the weather forecast promised continued fair and warm weather over the cotton belt generally, which favored the matur- ing and picking of the crop. Some i1er- vousness was still displayed by longs over the Moroccan situation. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 3 to points under yesterdays close.
 The pressure on the market continued until the middle of the morIIng when prices were to points under yesterdays s close. Here a private condition report of 6S.9 per cent, showing loss of 4.5 points since August 25, had bullish effect on the trading and prices gradually rose un- til they were to points over yesterdays s final quotations. Bulls made no effort to press their advantage. The cotton grow CTS estimate of 12,250,O00 bales, as the total yield this season, was not factor in the trading of the morning, as it was generally regarded as being entirely too low, even by the bulls. At noon prices

COTTON RES|STS BEAR|SH EFFORTS With Good Support Given the Market Closes
 Steady

New York, September 13.-Good support was given the cotton market today and it successfully resisted bear efforts and closed steady at points net advance to 8 decline.
 The market opened steady to points lower following an easier Liverpool mar ket and considerable southern selling on the call. The decline was met by good supporting orders which caused sharp reactions at the end of the first hour, For the balance of the day the market swung back and forth over a range of about 12 points with neither side making any per- manent headway Certain brokers appear ed to have almost unlimited orders to buy December under 11.40 and bulls laid much stress on the holding agitation which seems to have swept over the entire south. It was generally assumed that the aggressive session was based in part on this department although rumors that the national ginners' report was only 6S.9 against 734 a month undoubtedly had a strong influence on sentiment. Reports of extensive damage by boil worm came in from the southwest but were partly offset by very favorable advices from Alabama and Georgia.
 The south was a seller of both futures and spots.
 Receipts today, 32,121 bales against q, 2o4 last week and 19.61s last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans 1SS bales against 106o last year and at Hous- ton, 15.59s against 12.542 last year.

STOCKS DEVELOP ACUTE WEAKNESS.
Meagre Gains Swept Away Before Attack-Heavy
 Loses Recorded

New York, September 1S.-Acute weakness once more developed III lnS stock market today. The meager sains of yesterday were swept away oelore an attack which, as the session pro- gressed. became increasingly sever c and inflicted some heavy losses. Ade- ouate support was entirely lacking Trading was nervous and unsettleu' The lack of substantial demanu ironl any source undoubtedly enpoioeheo the bear party to renew its attack ana the raid which sent prices tuniplins toward the end of the session as one of the most spirited of recent weeks
 Union Pacifc's decline at the low price of the day was within a frac- tion of points, one of the most se- were drops of this stock during tue summer Missouri Pacific and New Haven lost the same amount and both of these stocks as well as New York Central sold at their lowest prices since 1908.
 A number of prominent issues, in cluding Reading, Southern Pacific, Can adian Pacific, St. Paul and Amalga- mated Copper lost points or more. The list of new low records for the year embraced a large share of the leaders. The market rallied brislSly before the close under tho influence of short covering, regaining part of the days losses.
 The depression in several railroad stocks was attributed to some extent to doubt whether the dividend rates would be maintained. This was espe- cially true of New Haven, which was also affected by the unfavorable an- nual report of the Boston and Maine, one of its chief subsidiaries.
 News from the iron and s5eel trade was another discouraging factor. The weekly trade reviews seemed to con- firm earlier statements that the vol ume of business was falling below that of August. Price cutting of the steel industry has become widespread al though in most cases prices haven't fallen far below the low levels earlier in the year.
 Europe played less of part in to- days market. Transactions for Eu ropean account was estimated at 12,- 900 shares, about evenly divided be- accounts in American stocks were ex- tended abroad, particularly in Berlin and liquidation from this quarter has run into large figures
 The bond market was heavy; total sales par value, s2.107.0o0. United States bonds unchanged on call.
