STIR IN FINANCIAL . ...... MARKETS WAS B|G Volume of Business Very
 Extensive PROMOTION IS SLOW Buying From Jobbers and Wholesale Dealers Continues Relatively
 Steady-Rapid Crop Move
 ment Stimulates Trade

New York. September 99-R. c. Dun S Cos weekly review of trade tomor- row will say that there Is nothing Tn tho industrial mercantile situation to correspond with the commotion recent ly ~ailinS in the financial markets in this and other countries
 While the promotion of large enter prises is checked and conservatism is the rule in all branches of trade and indus+~,, yet supplies in nearly every line are so narrow and immediate re- quirements of constantly increasing number of consumers are so large that the volume of business is very ex- tensive.
 With good weather and crops well harvested there appears in most sec tions moderate increase in activity while mercantile and credit conditions are sound.
 Buying of iron and steel product is still confined to present needs, yet consumption is not much below the ma ximum of the year In the Pitts burg district concessions on open hearth billets and sheet bars bring QuOldtlOnS uoNH bo S15 anu 9i'.'V tS spectively, and some manufacturers are eager to get business.
 In the rail division an inqury for 10000 tons of Bessemer rails is re- po~ l., A contract for 1os9e tons for the Chilean State railways is also re- ported. !
 Among the plate mills, however, quieter conditions prevail with orders from car and locomotive works dimin~ ishing.
 In pig iron there is little activity buyers apparently holding off until next years price basis is determined
 The continued demand for cotton goods for export and the effect of the curtailment of production which is stiil in evidence are the important factors in this branch of trade
 The movement of prints is slightly above production. In wsolens some what more liberal buying is noted
 Yarns are in better request
 Trade slowly improves in footwear. Orders placed by jobbers continue for small quantities but they are quite numerous and in the aggregate fairly satisfactory. Buying of spring goods is not very active. Better conditions pre- vail in leather Total sales of sole leather for week are conservatively estimated at about 250,OOO sides. Sales of hides are likewise not as large as in recent weeks, but the market is strong.

WANTS A BRIDGE
 ACROSS CAHABA
Shelby County Citizen Says His Dis trict Is at Disadvantage in
 Coming to This City

o. Cost, a prominent citizen of Shell by county, who was formerly one of the commissioners of that county, ap-- peared before the Jefferson county Board of Revenue yesterday in ad- yocacy of the erection of bridge over the Cahaba river at Caldwell's s mill, on the line between the two
 In 4his argument for the proposed bridge MT. Cost pointed out that the people of llis section sell all of their products in Birmingham and do fall of their trading here, and that they are entitled to better connection with this city than they have. We are only ? miles from Birmingham" said MT. Cost, but we now ..have to travel IS miles to get to Birmingham.
 There are two bridges over the Ca- haba, one at Bains and the other al the water works bridge, but they are both six miles from my part of the county and l2 miles apart, The road to both of them is rough and hard to travel, and the ford at Caldwell's mill Is not a good one when the water is low; and when it is high the river is impossible. D.7 rS s ..-..
 "The farmers3 in my country bring g all they raise to Birmingham and spend their money. heres They are entitled' to 8 better connection with. the city than they have"
 The people of Shelby county are ask ing for a 5000 or s6O00 bridge and are asking Jefferson county to under- take all of the expense The answer of the Board of Revenue yesterday was that they were not yet ready to take any action on the matter. They admitted that such a bridge would ben eft Jefferson county, but said that the situation now is not such that definite action can be taken.
 When aske about crops in his sec ton yesterday, MT. Cost said that they were good and that he thought an average crop of cotton would be har- vested this year. Our farmers are realizing about as large crop as they planned for" he said.

Bradstreet's Review
New York. September 29.-Brad- streets tomorrow will say:

New York, September 29.-Brad- streets tomorrow will say:
 Buying from jobbers and wholesale dealers continues relatively steady and this weeks reports indicate that the recently reflected comparative improve ment has been maintained The larger Centers indicate that road and house fales are better in number of lines and that demand for staples is gradu- ally extending. Buying of cotton goods has been helped by lower prices though some purchasers hesitate to order free- ly because of recessions in raw cotton.
 The trend thus indicated obviously suggests that buying is late and in- cidentally what might be termed spot business accompanied as it is by calls of prompt shipment is admittedly larger than business booked for future delivery.
 Crops are moving more freely which fact tends to help trade on the one band and collections on the other. Final distributors in general still prefer to visit the markets frequently and to buy as their requirements seem to demand, rather than to purchase freely at any one time. That which makes the situation irregular is found in the lethargic condition of the iron and steel markets where price cutting continues. hepOrtS were received of diminished railway traffic and lighter earnings to- kether with existing strikes and talk of strikes of railway shopmen and building trades in New York
 Collections have improved a little

Associated Charities and Kinder garten Discuss Plans for Enlarge
 ment of Milk Depot Idea

iNTo discuss the feasibility of organizing the first home on Avenue E, committees from the Associated Charities committee ofshe prevention of infant mortality and the Free Kindergarten association will hold conference at 10 o'clock this morn- ing in the parish house of the Church of the Advent. The milk depot, the spe- Associated Charities, is already located on Avenue and the development of this phase of charitable work has shown that it is closely related to settlement work, which will be done on broader scope than ever before by the Free Kim dergarten association this winter. The new plan will be an extension of the pres- ent milk depot.
 There are no definite plans as yet. but the two organizations have considered the merging of the milk depot into a set clement house most favorably, especially as the Free Kindergarten association has engaged a resident worker, Miss May Francis Hall, who has been north for the past summer to take courses of study in schools of philanthropy. Miss Hall will begin her duties in social settlement work today.
 The new organization will be managed by committees named from the fostering organizations and will be separate in- stitution from either of theeother two.
 The committee representing the com mittee on the prevention of infant mor- tality will consist of Mesdames B. F. Roden. Sterling J. Foster, Otto Marx, T. J. Bissett and Louis Saks. The Free Kin dergarten association will be delegated by Mesdames A. H. Ford, O. B. Spen- cer, Sam Earle, 8. B. Pyler and J. H. Phillips.

MARRY UNDER
 DIFFICULTIES

Montgomery, September 29.-(SpeciaD.-- Church barriers were small hindrance to a Mobile Michigan couple who were married in this city last night. The groom was Pembroke R. Labuzan, of the ssult city, while the bride was Miss Florence A. Elder from Michigan. The barrier in terposed was the refusal of the Episcopal ministers of the city to unite the couple in matrimony owing to the fact that Mr. Labuzan was a divorced man, but inas- much as the laws of Alabama permit the probate judge to perform the cerem ony, the couple were happily married after all, and at the home of the chief clerk of the probate judges office.
