REDUCTIONS HAVE
 UNSETTLED STEEL  Sensational Cut Forces a Downward Movement MAY WAS STRONG Though Sharp Decline During Last Week the Total Volume of
 Orders Exceeded Those
 Booked in April

New York, June i.-The sudden re- duct.on of s1 to sf per ton in prices o biliets. sheet bars, steel plates, struc tural shapes and black galvanized and blue annealed sheets last week had an unsettling influence on consumers of finished steel products generally. The downward movement, 1t seems, was forced by the sensational cut of 8 a ton in the price of steel bars by the Republic company. Manufacturers of agricultural implements instead of placing large bar contracts, met the overtures of the mills with bids at further heavy concessions and reports that large bar sales were made on the basis of 125, lack confirma tion. It is understood that not more than S0.000 tons of bars were sold to such con- sumtrs.
 Railroads and building interests re- gently favored with unusually low prices on fabricated material, hesitated about placing contracts upon which bids had been submitted because of the slight reduction in the prices Of plain shapes. The mills anticipate, however. when it is realized that there win be no further concessions that larger contracts will como out.
 Although there was sharp decline in business placed during the last week in May the total volume of drders for the full month exceeded those booked iu April by the Steel corporation sub sidiaries.
 Railroads contracted for only 100000, tons of rails in May but since June new business for 100000 tons has de- veloped including 50,000 tons for the Northern Pacific, 10000 for the Missouri Pacific and 10000 tons more for the West Indies Car orders last week ag- gregated 25o0 including HOO for the Cana dian Pacific and 1000 for the Sante Fe. The Grand Trunk ordered 450 loco motives and the Pierre Marquette wants 95 engines. Building contracts placed called for 16,000 tons of fabricated steel.
 The volume of business in pig iron was sharply reduced but new inquiries for 50,000 tons came out of the eastern territory.

FLORAL TRIBUTE TO
 LEE CAUSES FUSS

Washington, June 4.-(Special. )-Capi- tai Policeman Waite is not yet out of the trouble he prepared for himself by taking a. wreath of flowers from the statue of Gen. Robert F. Lee on Decoration Day.
 The day preceding Memorial Day the women of Grant Circle and Lincoln Cir cle, c. A. R., with appropriate services, placed wreaths of bay leaves and flowers on the statues of Lincoln and Grant. This prompted Joel Grayson, an employe in the House document room, to place the wreath upon Lee statue.

bOLL WEEWL DOES NOT WORRY SELMA Bug Was Expected But Can Do Little Damage the
 First Year

Selma, June 4-(Special 1.-The prospects tral Alabama this year continues good &C., cording to the reports which have been brought to Selma by farmers during the past week.
 In every section the cotton is growing splendidly according to the reports made by the farmers. If favorable conditions continue one of the largest crops ever grown in this section is looked for.
 The torrid weather of the past three weeks has been great help to the cot ton plant. The good weather has caused the farmers to work hard. and all of the crops are in good condition. and but little grass is to be found in the fields.
 In some sections the weather conditions of the early spring caused a large number of acres of cotton to be replanted. This replanted crop has come up and is now doing as well as the first crop which was planted in other sections. While the hot weather of the past three weeks has done wonders for the cotton of this sec tion, general rain will be needed with in the next week.
 While the acreage devoted to cotton in this section of the state has been mate- rially reduced it is believed that as much cotton as usual will be grown. The ap- pearance of the boil weevi1 near Thomas vile in Clarke county, six miles south Of Selma, is causing the farmers very little uneasiness The coming of the boil weevil into the Selma territory was earlier than was expected, but it is well known fact that the pest doeG but little damage during the first year and for that reason the farmers of central Alabama do not anticipate much damage to the crop this year in this section from the weevil.
 With the appearance of the boil weevil so near Selma it is expected that it will have reached the farms around Selma by the time the present cotton crop ilas been gathered. This will cause the farmers of this section, who for the past year have been giving the pest considerable study, to prepare to engage in other kind of farming and it is believed that but little cotton will be planted in central Alabama next year.
 The cotton receipts at this market con- tinue to climb upward, but the climb at however. more than 300 bales of the staple was received here in one shipment The total receipts since September l, last, tu date is 9S,e41 bales. Last year Selma received more than 100000 bales of cotton and it is thought that the receipts this year will even go beyond the figures of last year

AN OLD TIME PRESCRIPTION

in modern product. from time i'm
memorial sage and sulphur have been
used for the hair and scalp. Almost
every one knows of the value of such
a combination for darkening the hair
and making it grow.
In Olden times the only way to get
a hair tonic of this sort was to brew
it in the home fireplace, a method
which was troublesome and not al
was satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up o-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready to use pro-
duct, skillfully compounded in perfect
ly equipped laboratories. The Wyeth
Chemical company of New York put
up an ideal remedy of this kind called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy and authorize druggists to
sell it under guarantee that the mon
ey will be refunded if it fails to do
exactly as represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.
