this city. sthe business men of Blrming-
ham should make a resort of Birming-
ham. 1 have heard this place referred to
as the Pittsburg of the south. That is
really wrong. There is nothing dirty
about Birmingham and to a tourist the
designation of a place resembling Pitts
burg is enough to run him away. The
tourist wants only two things. A good
hotel and good golf club This city
has both. l have never stopped at a
nicer or better managed hotel than the
Tutwiler. The Roebuck Golf club and the
Country club are unrivalled, and will soon
become famous over this country. As an
1S-hole course Roebuck is hard to beat
even at this time. In 4 short while no
course will be better than Roebuck in
my opinion. This city is just blossom
ing as a pleasure place and the people
here should take advantage of the oppor-
tunities and let the outside world know
about it. l am convinced that we have
scores of golfers. men and women. who
come south every year for golfing and
who would come here IL they Knew OF
your wonderful cordiality and your superb
facilities for entertaining them and pro-
viding them with comfortable quarters
and golf links

-HY- COHEN A WHEAT Bull

following hulllsh review OF the wheat
situation In a recent issue OF the Ore

II anyone has really taken the trou-
BILE TO note he win find that every
time this season that England really
wanted TO purchase wheat. the market

| The remarkable slump In the price
OF wheat at Liverpool Friday which
directly affected tho Chicago market
naturally forced the local trade to
nominally follow the blind lead, but
getting the wheat at the lower prices
quoted was entirely another question.
II Is absurd to deny the fact that
there Is today far greater demand
for wheat from Europe than ever be-
fore in her history. Foreign Interests
are losing no opportunity TO pick up
supplies whether the lots be small or
large. Every grain Of wheat available
at various worlds centers has been
quickly snapped up by the European
trade.
There is no denying the fact that
England and France through their
grain interests are coralllng every vss-
sci they can procure TO load wheat.
oats and barley In the United States.
Considering this one fact alone u
would be idle to state that Europeans
really mean anything except that they
want the wheat, when they forced
their quotations down In the open
market.
Conditions regarding worlds sup
plies are no better today than they
were week ago. In fact with the pos
sible exception that a scrap or two OF
more favorable information regarding
Argentina crop conditions, the worlds
outlook for the next crop Is no better.
The fact that Argentina has about
