LETTERS TO EDITOR
Changes in MOntevallo

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Your correspondent is for the present domieled in the old historic lawn of Mon teyalo The home of his boyhood days, and from which he went out in the great many years can still find many things that look familiar. But most of all the old landmarks of 55 and 6O years ago nave been removed by the hand of time. Qn 1860 Montevallo was made up entirely Of old time frame buildings. There was only one brick residence, one office build ing and two brick school buildings, male and female in the town, and the resi- dences of that day were all punt upon the old style of architecture. But today we see a neat, clean, modern little city, with brick business houses, glass fronts, brick sidewalks. electric lights and other modern improvements, while the resi- dence section has many beautiful modern homes al of which make town quite in contrast to the town of ante-bellum days. And while the town Is largely controlled by the descendants of the old pioneer set tiers. we find the business men of today mostly young men, while the business Of 60 years ago was conducted by older men. Zuter and Lyman, Sylvester Steel, John r. Morgan, IenSOH 6lBSeTSteiil anu oth- erss; but these with the Kings, Short ridges, Wilson's, McConehas. Carrys, Wells and many others of the old settlers have passed over into the beyond, and their places today are filled with younger men with new and modern ideas of business.
 The old female academy. which for many years, was the high school for this section before the war and short while after. has been enlarged and almost hid den by large improved modern school buildings. And where they used to nave OOI 10 eouBpuolle 9SeJ9Ao un sdsuIsd pupils they now have an enrolment of over 400 bright faced young girls from all sections of the state preparing them- selves for their future life's work.
 The Baptist and Methodist Episcopal church South. have recently ereceted nice neat commodious churches that are or narnents to the town These are largely filled upon the Sabbath day with the girls from the school. Tn Birmingham and most of our cities and towns the men and boys seem to predomnate and tho streets are traversed largely by the male cle- ment. but in Montevallo the order of things Is reversed and we find the streets thronged with women and girls, hence Montevallo can claim perhaps more bright faced girls and beautiful women than any other in labama. according to popuia- tion Montevalo citizenship seems .o be alive and husting for bigger things Con siderable preparations are being made for the county fair which will be opened here on the 27. 2S, 20. September. The buildings are about completed and everything is fast assuming shape for the fair. and the

COTTON MARKET
 IS LESS ACTIVE After Low Records Prices Rally on Renewal Bull
 Support

New York, September 21.-The cotton market was less active today, and after making new low records early rallied on covering and a renewal of bull support, which followed reports that the south was offering spot less freely at the decline. The close was very steady at net ad- vance of 1 to points on fall months, and of 5fto points on later positions.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 1 point on October, but generally to 4 points higher in response to rather better cables, and private predictions of rains in eastern and central sections of the belt. where there is believed to be a great deal of open cotton in the field. Offerings were heavy on the initial ad- vance. and during the early trading prices worked quite sharply lower, owing to a continuation of yesterdays selling movement Around 10. 67c for October and December and 1o.6c for January, or about to 10 points under the closing f1g- ures of yesterday. there appeared to be less. cotton for sale, however, and the market developed a reactionary tendency which gradually carried prices up to a net gain of about to poRts Weak ness in the stock market caused some Wall. street selling during the early aft ernoon, and with southern selling orders, though much smaller than yesterday. showing 8 tendency to increase on the bulge, prices dropped back to about the closing figures of last night, but rallied again later in the day on support from scnC of the old buls renewed covering ana reports that spot holders In the south were resisting the decline, and that spot offerings were being withdrawn in some cases. There was nothing to indt- cate any improvement in trade demand, local spot people reporting that the mills were still holding off. but the market ad- vanced to 10 STc for December in the late trading, or about II points net high CT. and active positions closed within ? or points of the best. Some of the ad- vices received here from the southwest say that from "a to 80 per cent of the re- ceipts are being held for higher prices, but that there is very little demand for the remainder.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New Yotk, September 21.Z(SpeciaD So generally did the trade look for a reaction this morning that they were surprised at the continued liquidation during the first hour, when holders parted with their cotton in such rush as usually marks the low point. Europe was large buyer on arbitrage and American spinners' brokers were also in the market as buyers, though their purchases came after Europe had closed. These purchases largely represented the calling of cotton purchased against pre- yious sales of goods made on the basis of n c; probably would have been made yesterday, except that the decline was so rapid that 1t was not quite under stood.
 The market closed steady, some to 10 points higher than yesterday and a better opening Is expected tomorrow. Whether the reaction will go further will depend on the weather and the ac- ton of the south. There did not ap- pear to be any investment buying in the expectation of higher prices.

MORRIS AVENUE \ BUSINESS BRISK Egg Market Is Recovering. Grain Markets Show
 Activity

Business continued brisk with the ma jority of the Morris avenue merchants yesterday A very encouraging feature Of the day was an increase demand in the egg markets which have been overstoeked and where the hot weather is most effec- tive. Fowl is again cleaned up on the thoroughfare. Fryers have been quick sellers this week, but as arrivals have been few and light ahe poultry dealers have lost a good deal of business
 The produce business remains normal. Yesterdays receipts were Concord grapes from New York state and apples from Illinois. The weather is little too warm for the produce business to improve much, but at the first cool spell business will take on new life.
 Activity was much in evidence in the grain markets, as usual Grain dealers were very much pleased with trade, and are expecting business to remain firm throughout the month. Prices remain un< changed.
 The following qoutationS prevail:

WHEAT PRICES
 TEND ID DROOP
Pending Reciprocity Results Dealers Merely Even
 Up Trades

Chicago, September 21.-Pending the outcome of the reciprocity vote, &wneat dealers today almost unanimously con fined themselves to evening up trades. As a natural result, prices were inclined to droop, and the close ranged from the same as last night to ssc below. In corn the finish varied a shade down to 14c up; oats were Ac off to Ac higher, and hog products to more than 5 cents either way from 24 hours before
 Nearly everything else was lost sight of in the wheat pit except the latest gossip about the Canadian election. The few speculators who thought of other subjects found reason for uneasiness because of the demoralized condition of the stock market and on account of the bank rate advance in England, France and Bel gium. To offset this there were liberal ex- port clearances. Besides, the local flour trade was good with prices up 10c for spring wheat grades. At no time during the session, however, did the market re- act to more than 1sc above yesterday s close. Indeed. the greater part of the
 
 under that level, although the final tone was firm. December ranged from 953sc to 957sas6c, with sales 1sdac down at 955s@95s4c.
 Corn, despite not being directly in- volved by the issue of the Canadian cleo tion, felt the effects through sympathy with other gain On the other hand a fair weather forecast tended to help. prices in view of scattering complaints of too much dampness. December fiuctuated be- tween 63s4e and 641sc, closing steady at a shade up at 64Q64sc Cash grades were slow: No. ? yellow finished at 6S@6Ac.
 Buyers of oats were noticeably inclined to go slow until the definite results were reached in Canada. It was fair index of the state of the market that December kept as top and bottom limits. 452sc and s5c, with the close exactly unchanged from last night at 45Ac.

SEVERE DECLINE |NSTEE[ STOCKS
  Wall Street Spends Uneasy Day Watching Spectac- ular Slump

New York, September 2,-Wall street spent another uneasy day watching the spectaculal slump in the securities of the United States Steel corporation.
 Trading in the steel stocks dominated the market. Widespread reports that dis- solution of the corporation was impend- ing, coupled with the severe deciine' seemed to have aroused the fears of in yestors.
 Selling orders flooded the market. at the opening. They came from all parts of the country and from abroad and their force was irresistible. The low price or the session for the common was B, a decline of 51a points and the lowest fig ures since 1909.
 The preferred fell 61a to 1o4i4, lower price than has been reached before since 1908.
 Trading in these stocks reached onor- nous proportions. The common was soo in lots of 1000 to coco shares. Largely by reason of this selling the transaction amounted to f,35s000 shares the largest total for the year, and of this the sale of United States Steel were nearly one half, or 572,000 shares.
 Conjecture was rife as to what was in store for the steel corporation. There seemed to be good grounds for the belief that the Steel corporation and depart ment of commerce were united in an eff fort to avoid another suit. If the ob- staeles in the way of dissolution can be overcome according to a tentative plan to which both sides can agree the action will be undertaken. -,,. s-s ss .s..sT..e-., ,,sa,.,..
 There was no hysteria elsewhere in the market. The movement in the steel se- curites resulted in severe losses among other industrials. The list at no time was demoralzed.
 General electric lost 55s. A long list of other stocks, including Amalgamated cop per, American beet sugar, Bethelehen steer preferred, railway steel spring pre- ferred, National Biscuit, Sears Roebuck, Pressed Steel car preferred. railway steel spring preferred and American brake shoa fell from to points. The railroad list was relatively firm. Missouri Pacific ,ose a point while some of the railroad shares sold off point or more and at time, there was heavy pressure against Union Pacific. but these issues rallied later.
 Increases in the rates of discount by the Bank of England and the Bank of France were in the expectations in view Of recent events abroad
 The position of the Bank of England for some time has likewise been unusually strong and today's statement showed that the change in rates was matter of pre- caution rather than of necessity. Politi- cal tension combined with the higher rates in the open market led to the step which might have been deferred had con- ditions been less uncertain.
 The bond market was weak with mark ed declines in the active speculative is- sues; United States steel 5s held well. Total sales, par value, S2,9Oi, 600; United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Around the middle of the morning of ferings of contracts were very slender, although it was said that the interior was offering spots very freely here and at prices not out of line with the mar ket. Contracts rose until they were 10 points over yesterdays close. Late in the morning short selling was renewed and at noon the trading months were 3 tc points under yesterdays final quo- tations.
 In the afternoon session the market was quiet but steady. At ? o'clock prices were 6 to points oyer yesterdays close
 The cotton future market closed very steady at net advance of to Il points.
