A. A. A. GRANTS OFFICIAL SANG TON OF THE MEET-AVIA- TORS WILL CARRY PASSEN- GERS

A telegram vas received yesterday from the American Automobile association by E. ". "Ted" Brownell, granting the off cial sanction of that organization to the races which will be held this afternoon at the fair grounds for the benefit of Walter Gather the recently injured me- chanic.
 The association, in granting the official approval for the races, did so without charging the customary fee, contributing thereby a tidy fee to the stricken youth who in the future is forever prevented from supporting himself and wife due to the recent grevious accident at the fair grounds.
 The local automobile men who are to hold the races are very much aroused over the affair and will exert every infiu- ence to secure large attendance upon the events. The interest goes further and takes in Aviators Brindley and Heath. who will operate their machines and carry passengers for a fee paid for each trip, the fee to be used to help the disabled lad whose sad plight has caused commisseration among all classes of Bir- mingham citizens.
 The race programme discloses some events that bid fair to take rank with the most interesting of sports and every detail will be carefully arranged to rem der the affair satisfying and decidedly worth while.
 It is taken that the variety of the enter tainment offered. the feature of charity involved and the general interest will in- sure a great crowd at the fair grounds this afternoon. The races begin at 3 o'clock. A great number of tickets have been sold at go cents each for the affair. It is hoped that s-oaO will be realized to be placed in the bank for the unfortunate young man.

 Though activity in some wholesale lines is not so marked as heretofore dry goods. for instance. trade in gen eral Is of fairly steady proportions and what is probably most significant, cur rent business is being done on a basis that allows of room for profits.

 New York. May S.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 While the advance in industrial and trade activity is still gradual, evidences of improvement continue to multiply. The agreement to arbitrate the differences be- tween the railroads and the engineers is a distinct help to the situation The ex- pansion in bank credits, especially in the west. the large output of new securities in April and the number of new incorpor- ations-both greatly in cess of last year-the notable demand for steel prod ucts and cotton and wooden goods, and the statistics of traffic and clearngs. all reflect a growth in business.
 Reports from the leading trade centers reveal improving conditions, except in those cities chiefly in the east, where the weather was unfavorable.
 New demands in iron and steel have di- minished somewhat following the advance in prices. but mills generally are booked ahead practically to capacity during the second quarter of the year.
 Tn finished lines concessions arc the ex- ception rather than the rule. although wire products are being shaded in some instances. Additional car orders are re- ported and fabricators of structural shapes are provided with considerable work. On the whole the higher quotations have not been thoroughly tested, yet it is expected that the present level will be maintained. There is no particular &C., tIvity in pig iron. It is prdicted that the forthcoming statement of the leading in- terest will show g substantial gain in un- filled tonnage. owing to the recent heavy demand from bars
