AGEE SUBMITS MANY
 RECOMMENDATIONS
Anniston Attorney Offers Suggestions to Chairman
 of Judicial Commission

Montgomery. August 7S.-fSpecial0 A. P. Agee. a prominent Anniston at torney. does not believe that the re lection of evidence in trial court should be ground for the reversal by an appellate court. Mir. Agee has writ ten letter to Judge John Pelhaip, chairman of the judicial commission, in which he submits various recommenda- lions looking to judicial reform In the state
 In reference to numerous reversals by the supreme court because of the fact that certain evidence had been rejected in the trial court, Mir. Agee believes that this should not constitute ground for reversal unless. in the opinion of the appellate court, the Judgment probably would have been different If the evidence had been al lowed
 Several other recommendations are made by MT. Agee as follows
 "An pleading in law or equity cases alleging facts shall be verified by the ai- fdav!t of some attorney who has cog nizanee Of the same, and if the party. his agent. employe or attorney, has no cognizanee of the facts, then 1t shall be St stated m the affidavit and such affi- davit may be made on information and belief by the party of his attorney. "To all pleadings in courts of record, receiving questions of law alone. there shah be a certificate of counsel that the pon. of law in his opinion, Is well taken. "The trial court shall not grant a new trial in an, civil or criminal cause for m error committed by it upon the trial, unless it appears that the error com plained Of has injuriously affected tho substantial rights of the parties.
 The recommendations of MT Agee will be submitted to one of the committees Of the judicial commission.

Nov York August 2S-Bradsueets to- morrow win say:
 Expansion Is the key word of the trade situation as the months draw to close and buyers feel tige seasonable spur to the laVng in Of supplies for fall and winter This is, of course. largely pfedl- cated upon the prospect of assured or K pected large crop yields and finds ehiei expression In the west. northwest and southwest where crop certainty has. gen crallv speaking, supplanted prediction.
 Coincidently with the marketing with inc carly gathered crops, collections show a tendency 10 improve and the money market likewise gives evidence of n- creased activity and strength of quota tions. Perhaps the only possible check to f1ll present or near future activity Is found in the gradually enllvening political campaign bat 1t is a matter of widespread remark that political discussion is ap- parently given less than expected weight
 Trade demand has expanded noticeably in dry goods, lumber coal, wool, shoes leather and last. but by no means leasI in iron and steel where higher prices have apparently not acted as Q bar to further booking. Most pronounced ac- tivity is reported at the northwest and 1t Is interesting to note that Chicago TO- ports the best weeks buying of dry goods Tor five years past Eastern mark CTS, too, such as Boston and New York. report more doing in this and other lines and all markets agree in the. report that buyers are visible in large numbers. Southern trade reports are not equal to those of the north, but this Is explainable because of the longer distance that that sections staple .crop has to traverse be- fore it can be esteemed safe.

 in Some Trades
BIG STEEL DEMAND

New York. August 2s.---R c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row win say:
 With crop prospects increasingly brilliant. with the principal industries working to full normal capacity, with trade distribution continuously eX- banding and with business sentiment becoming daily more and more con ndent and buoyant the whole sitna- ton. both in fundamental conditions and in volume of transactions is bet ter than it has been for years
 The problems now are not those Of depression but becoming those of pros perity. II Is no longer a shortage of or ders but of capacity to supply de mand and in some cases consumers offer premiums for prompt delivery A shortage of labor not alone in the wheat fields but in some of the indus tries, is reported. The railroads are buying liberally of supplies and are placing heavy advance orders but there is prospect of shortage of cars 10 carry the traffic of the country. It Is noticeable that merchants are now dis posed to buy more freely for advance needs High or unsettled pNces still, however, eomplcate conditions In some tradesS
 Although the dry goods trade Is very active, especially in the west, seuth and northwest, yet there is consider able disposition in cotton goods to await more stability in the price Of raw cotton Shoe trade is retarded by the continued high prices of leather and hides.
 From the iron and steel industry nothing but the most favorable re- ports are forthcoming; plants are Working to capacity, stocks of pig iron are being reduced and the demand by the railroads and other consumers Is large and urgent
 The best reflection of the prevailing activity in inc steel mills is the read mess of buyers to pay premiums Tor prompt delivery but many of the larger corporations are opposed 10 the accept ance of this premium business, believ- ing that rapid advance In quotations would initiate against the prosperous conditions that now prevail.
 Building operations are actiVe. me copper market reflects the prevailing advancing state of trade and the cur rent use of copper by some or the lar- gest consumers is said to be the heaV- fest on record The hardware trade ls pointing toward increased activity.
