CORN QUOTATIONS
REACH DOLLAR MARK
Comes as Climax to Gradual
Rise-Business Only
Fairly Good

The predictions of grain merchants on
Morris avenue that corn would be 81 a
hushel within few days have been full
filled. Yesterday the price reached that
figure after a gradual rise extending over
period of two weeks. No changes were
noted in other grains. but merchants state
that if there is no rain in the grain belt
that all of the cereal products will soar
Business was fairly good yesterday. but
the merchants are still being handicapped
by the hot weather No shipments were
received yesterday, as there was fair
supply on hand With the exception of
the rise in corn, there were no changes in
the quotations.
The demand for fruits aud fish is fairly
good The supply is in keeping. No fresh
shipments were received in this line yes
terday. Cantaloupes still remain at $3.50
and SO per crate, and apples at Sl.5O and
81. Prices of fish and sea foods are un-
changed After several decreases red
snapper registers 8 and 10 cents and gray
snapper at cents per pound.
No further decreases in meats occurred
yesterday, and the same may be said OF
poultry, coffee and sugar and creamery
products.

HEATED ARGUMENTS
At TYPOS MEETING
Anti-Administrati0n FOrces'
Make Fight on Presi-
dent Lynch


Nashville. August 12-Two important
features marked the second day OF the
fiftS-ninth convention of the International
Typographical union TIE first was the
reading of letter from President George
l. Berry of the International Pressnen's
lrion. presenting the fact that he had
not been invited to the convention and
stating that he had a plan for greater
cooperation between the two organiza-
items which he wished to present. Presl-
dent James Lynch stated that President
Berry had not been asked as he did not
think he had acted in good faith when
he urged the International Typographical
union to assist in the pressmen's strike
on the Hearst papers a year ago. Heated
argument on the floor of the convention
resulted in a telegram being sent asking
President Berry to come and address the
convention, presenting his plan for CO.
operation.
The second feature was a fight made
ON President Lynch by the ani-adminis-
tration forces which was based on a reso-
luton limiting the tenure of office OF any
official OF the international Topographic
ical union to two terms. The resolution
was defeated Overwhelmingly.
Tomorrow's programme includes reports
from all Of the committees at the morn
Ing session and many entertainment fea-
lures in the afternoon.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Russell Head Case

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
beg that you will allow me space
in your paper to correct an uninten-
tional injustice done by you to some
of the officials of this county in your
article entitled "Alabamas Growing
Shame" publishing yesterday As
was the person who brought the mat
ter to the attention of the governor
and asked for the parole l am well
acquainted with the circumstances of
the case of the boy RUSSELL Head, and,
although I am just as much opposed
to the fee system and the working OF
boy conyiots in the mines as you are,
l do not believe that the sentence was
imposed in this case as a result of any
desire for the payment of fees on the
part of the officials who had charge
of it.
had told the boy when I happened
to see him in jail about a week before
his trial that | would ask the court to
send him to the Boys Industrial school
at East Lake (Which l believe to be
one of the best institutions of its kind
in the country), but on the day of the
trial l was unable to attend court on
account of a death in my family. Il
understand that the sheriff urged the
trial Judge to send the boy to the re-
formatory. but, on account of the fact
that the boy was charged with the
violation of what is commonly known
as court contract, he could not see
his way clear to do so, as that would
have prevented the gentleman who ORR
ginally confessed Judgment with Head
from getting back the money he had
paid out on the confession OF iudg-
ment. am frank to say that | be-
lieYe that all the officials who had
anything to do with the case SYM
pathized with the boy and there was
no effort to secure fees The gentle
man who confessed judgment with
Head was the prosecutor in the case
wherein he was sentenced and not the
sheriff. In fact the matter to my mind
Is but another indication of how neces-
sary 1t is for the law to provide that
boys OF the age of Head when con-
vieted should always be sent to the
reformatory. Respectfully.

Part of today's session as the result of
reports of continued drouth in the west
ern portions OF the cotton belt Tn the
afternoon private reports of rains at sew
eral points in Texas and Oklahoma were
received and the stimulated short selling
caused an easy tone for a while. The
market had no real selling power and the
trade appeared to be impressed by tho
claims that serious damage had already
been done to the growing crop in the
west, which could not be reduced, even
by general soaking rains
On the opening the tone was steady
ana prices We're to 8 points up. Cables
were not up to expectations, but the dry
weather map caused some little buying.
Offerings We're light throughout the morn
ing session and the market finally worked
up to level Z to points over yester-
days close. The weekly weather reports
were considered very bullish as they con-
tirmed drouth reports from the west.
Private kilograms from Texas said that
in some sections cotton was shedding.

moisture. In the afternoon reports of

SHARP BREAK IN
COTTON MARKET
Last Prices Steady But
Within Point or Two
of Lowest

New York, August 12.-After showing
considerable nrmness on expectations
of an unfavorable weekly weather re-
port, and continued dry. hot conditions
in the southwest. the cotton market
broke rather sharply this afternoon on
good crop adviees from the eastern
belt and reports OF showers along the
Texas coast and in oklahoma Last
prices were steady but within point
or two of the lowest, and net IN
changed to points under the closing
figures of yesterday
Recent sellers appeared to be disap-
pointed that the early weather map
failed to show any prospect of imme-
diate relief of drouthy conditions west
of the river, and there was quite an
active buying movement during the
early trading, which was encouraged
by further deterioration reports from
Texas and oklahoma The opening
was steady at unchanged prices to an
advance of l point and the market sold
10 to II points net higher during the
middle of the morningh The weekly
report of the weather bureau proved
in line with hullish predictions. Buy
ing. however, was less active, after the
early covering movement had run Its
course and prices reached the lowest
level of the day on the late afternoon
reports of showers in the southwest.
Private cables reported a very quiet
market for yarns and cloths In Lanea-
shire and continental selling in Liver
pool, which was attributed to unsettled
political conditions, but exporters We're
said to be buying new crop shipments
in Texas Trade interests were ere
dited by buying very moderately here
during the day, while there was a lit
tie selling from southern sources.

LEADING STAPLES
ALL DISPLAY GAIN
Estimates Corn Shgunk 30O,-
100000 Bushels Since
August |

Chicago, August l2.-Estimates that the
corn crop had shrunk 9o0oOo.o0e bushels
since August l exerted a powerful effect
today In lifting the market. Closing
prices were firm at a net advance of 7sa
lc to 1h4lase. Wheat showed gain of
ise to ss41sc, and oats a rise of 1snAe to
sse. Provisions declined 2l9q5c to 3I1Ac.
According 20 experts the extraordinary
new damage that is alleged to have ui-
ninished the corn yield has been asoer-
tanned by a widespread investigation as
70 barren stalks. The injury said to have
been demonstrated is charged TO severe
ana unusual weather conditions at the fer
til1zing season.
Ineessant dry, hot weather southwest
more than offset in the corn pit any adj
vantage the bears might have obtained
from rains in portions of the country
nearer Chicago. Many former holders re-
placed lines and there was much new in
vestment due partly to unusually small
receipts mere. Liberal profit taking sales
on the advance brought about only mod
crate reaction from the days top figures.
Black rust reports from Manitoba and
Ncrth Dakota helped cause a wheat rally.
II was asserted that export and milling
demand had improved, Early weakness
was attributed largely to an increase OF
the European visible supply, bringing the
total to above that of last year Primary
receipts were 1,5SS. 600 bushels; a year ago,
LES 600 bushels. Seaboard clearanees OF
wheat and flour equalled 9S5,000 bushels.
Oats rose Nvith corn and bacalIsp pf tha
smallness of offerings. Buying. however,
was only fair.
Provisions broke sharply. Dry weather
hogs were too plentiful at western pack
ing eenters, and there was only a poor
call for cash products.

ARE NOT AT "OUTS"

Paris, August 12.-Published reports oil
serious differences of opinion between
France and Russia in regard to the clause
of the Balkan treaty, giving the port OF
Kavala, on the Aegean sea, to Greece. led
the Fernoh foreign office today to publish
a note on the subject.
1t says that while France believed the
port should be given to the Greeks, ana
Russia thought 1t should be handed over
to the Bulgarians, neither government at
tached so much Importance to its own

LARGE LOTS CHANGE
HANDS IN STEEL
Trading in Steel Aggregates
25 Per Cent of the
Whole

New York, August 12.-Impelled by a
variety of influences. many of them adj
mittedly favorable, today's stock market
renewed its recent advance, the rise en-
bracing more than the usual number of Sc
eurities in practically all divisions of the
list. Trading approximated $4,000 shares,
which far exceeded any session OF re-
cent months. Maximum gains in the fa-
vorites averaged almost 2 points, but
profit taking in the final hour largely re-
duced this advantage.
Steel Reading and Union Pacific at no
time relinquished their position as leaders.
Trading in Steel, which aggregated over
25 per cent of the whole, was again re.
markable for the large lots which changed
hands, The rise in these issues was rem
dered more easy by the short interest so
long outstanding. In fact, the movement
could scarcely have gained much momen-
tum but for the obduracy of that element.
1t is interesting as showing the state of
the speculative mind that much of the i'm
proved sentiment is attributed to the IN
tention of the treasury department to
finance the crops. When this was first
made known the financial district mani
Tested something more than mild resent
ment and openly denounced the CONNER

savoring of -'inhation'

governments action as a bull argument,
Reasoning that not only win it relieve this
center of any monetary strain, but 2c-
Nualy will bring to it a large share of the
crop money where 1t will find an outlet, IL
not in speculative, in various other chan
nels. Formation of the Southern Paclhc
syndicate with its worldwide ramlfiea-
ttions also was accepted sign that pahh-
sers are not averse to a further advance In
lquoted values. Coppers were helped by
IAN advance in the metal to 16c.
7 Additional ease in long time money was
indicated with an enlarged demand from
interior points for commercial paper at b
,per cent, reduction of 4 per cent.
& Bonds participated only lightly IN the
better tone of the stock market. Govern
.ments were unchanged on call. Total
sales, par value, amounted to a,925,o0.
