Prominent Business Mans Visit

Birmingham makes fine impression on visitor," said John s. Munce, one of the most prominent business men of Richmond, Va. q was here for few hours several years ago, but on my visit this week l have had time to drive over the city. The thing l like especially about Birmingham is it's wide streets I have been through the business dis trict and it Is plain to see that prosperity is in the air
 Few cities have such attractive resi- dence sections as Birmingham The land scape effects are charming and High land avenue is one of the most beautiful bouleyards I have ever seen anywhere, and I have travelled great deal in thie country and in Europe
 Mir. Munce said that Richmond was growing at faster rate than ever. My home town has improved wonderfully within the past two or three years There are a great many Virginians in Birming- ham. and those who have not visited Richmond in recent years would scarcely recognize the old city now-it is so large and elegant"
 MT. Munce spoke of the political stua- tion and especially of the growth of MT. Underwood's popularity as a presi- dential candidate. 'I was in Atlanta last December and one of my friends there was a strong partisan of Woodrow Will son. said MT. Munce. He thought then that Wilson would secure the Georgia delegation. I met this same friend this week and he admitted that Wilson was not as strong as he had been. From the way things looked to me Underwood is making big gains in Georgia. As to the Virginia delegation, 1t will probably go to Baltimore uninstructed. Harmon and Underwood both have good deal of strength among the Virginia democracy.

FINANCIAL MARKET MARKET
Bank Statement Figures Show
Reduction in Cash and
Reserve Holdings.

Trading in stocks was active in the
two hours of business on a movement of
prices that generally tended in the direc-
tion of lower levels. Pronounced weak
ness developed in the second hour de-
clines representing an aggressive raid
by professional operators, who were
especially active in United States Steel,
which suffered a loss of ~ points; Union
Pacific, which lost 1 point; Reading and
Southern Railway preferred. Selling
Of the last named was based wholly
on the theory that as the good news was
out and as the public refused to come
into the market for the issue the time
was ripe for a passing decline in 1t.
Pressure against United States Steel was
accompanied by unfavOrable rumors re-
garding the current condition OF the iron
and steel industry, that were not upheld,
however, by actual news from trade cen
tres or by the United States Steel Cor
poration's statement of untitled orders
as of January 81, published after the
close of business. Unified tonnage in
January increased upward of 100000
tons. as compared with the December
figures, the total at the end of the month
amounting 10 5,319, 721 tons, which COM
pares with 3,11O019 tons at the same
time in 1911. The big steel concern IS
making progressive Improvement, and 1t
is estimated that it is now operating on
a basis of 50 per cent of it's finished steel
capacity OF the total business in all
stocks the larger part was supplied by
United States Steel, Union Pacific, Read
ing and Amalgamated Copper. Al
though Amalgamated Copper declined
with the rest of the list, sentiment on
the issue was not bearish and buying
from good sources was reported. The
copper metal market is gaining in
strength both in respect to prices and
actual demand.
Clearing House figures showing the
condition of the associated members al
the close of business on Friday night
presented, as expected, a material de-
cline in cash holdings and a moderate
loss in reserves. the latter item falling
