.TOHANDLE S3OO,OOO .OF THE C|TY'S BONDS Grant & Go. to Take This Number as Minimum at
 51-2 Per Cent

Birmingham yesterday entered into contract with R. M. Grant of the New York banking house of Grant & Co.,, whereby that firm will handle for next year municipal bonds to a rnin- imum amount of sSO0.0OO at 51a per cent.
 By the terms of the contract the firm is not bound to handle more than $500, ,O00 in bonds and will not, should the money market become too strin . gent On the other hand, the city re- served the right to sell its bonds to some other firm should 1t be able to secure per cent money. provided the firm of Grant & Co.,, were first given an opportunity to buy at that rate of interest
 It is anticipated that the city of Bir- mlugham having closed it's contract, will at once proceed to sell bonds in the sum of $134,O00 an amount eeded at the present time for street and oth- CT improvement work. The city believes that on account of the certainty that the money market will be greatly i'm proved within the next few months, ii will be able to secure all necessary funds for the ensuing year at a rate of per cent.
 Grant & Co. has been the city's bank CT for about six months. having been awarded the commission following an nouncement by local hanks that they could no longer buy municipal bonds

WHAT MERCHANTS AND BUSI- NESS MEN SAY ABOUT TREND OF RETAIL TRADE DURING PAST FEW DAYS

The cold weather yesterday caused re- tail business in Birmingham to climb high even as the mercury went downward.
 Merchants were elated. Coal men were in their offices as early as I o'clock in the morning and the commercial life of the whole city seemed to take on new briskness.
 "Its like old times with us" said Louis Saks. "The overcoat and suit and cloak departments are remarkably active this week and especially today. This weather has made everyone feel the need for warm and comfortable clothing.
 But other departments of our store are also busy. Seasonable weather was the main thing the merchants needed You can say that Louis Saks is doing a fine business and things are geoing better every day"
 Said Berney Loveman of Loveman, Jo' seph & Loeb: Business today Is fine. III the gift shop we are selling loads oi Christmas presents. The saying that there Is to be little present-giving is all wrong. The store was crowded all day today and we are feeling fine"
 The store is so crowded right now that I cannot talk long, said Sol Caheen of

GAMBLE AND WA|TES SAID ID BE SURE OF
 BIRTHS AT CAPITAL
Henderson, However, Will Make Public No Appoint ments Until After
 Inauguration

That Charles Henderson, who will be snaugurated governor of Alabama in Jan uary, has agreed on two appointments but will not make them known until he is In fact governor-was information brought to Birmingham yesterday by we'll informed people from Montgomery
 The appointments which it is said that MT. Henderson will make, are John Gam ple of Pike county, for private secretary, and George Waites, a prominent and well known south Alabama dealer in lumber tor president of the convict bureau. Tn this connection, 1t is also said that the department of immigration will not be abolished, and that R. D. L. Mel of Selma, who aided in the management of MT. Henderson's campaign, will yield to pres- sure and apply for the post.
 Should the report be true in regard to MT. Waites as president of the convict bureau, some other post will have to be found for Capt Reuben F. Kolb. who has formally applied for that position, and backed up his application with a large number of Endorsements from prominent and influential people. Captain Kolb, as - -~%'NNf'SNaOtt oNNihit tN lOi MI. I1tnQtI- son when the candidates for governor were confined to him and B. B. Conner It has always been agreed that Captain Kolb would receive a slice of the pie when the pie" was cut The captain singled out the convict department and secured fine indorsement It is now said that he will be given a place on the tax commission of the state
 There are several applicants for immi- grafton commissioner. Walter c. Rich ardson, who managed Captain Kolb' S campaign, and who afterward supported MT. Henderson, is an active applicant It Is learned that considerable pressure has been brought to bear on R. E. L. Mel to apply for that post. and it is believed that he VIII do so. Between the two MT Henderson will have, it is believed, great trouble in reaching decision
 MT. Henderson has let his friends in Birmingham know that he will not make public any appointment until aNer he is governor in fact 1t is intmated that even then he will go slow" Delayed appoint nents have in the past proved efficacious in securing the passage of legislation, and 1t is this fact probably which has sug- sesfed delay to the incoming chief execu- tive.

PARTY OF CEMENT MEN HERE POLLOCK
 OVER LEEDS PLANT
Hanahan Is Very Optimistic, Says Portland Cement Company Is Operate
 ing Overtime

j. Ross Hanahan of Charleston, $. c. and a party of directors of the Port land Cement company are on an an nual visit to the properties of the con- pany located at Leeds MT. Hanahaf who acted as spokesman for the party was nothing if not optimistic They were shown over the city yes terday by J. I. MeCants. sales mana ger for the company. and were enter tained last night at the Country club The officials will go today to Leeds to look over the plant there and will later return to Birmingham. The com pany, headed by MT. Hanahan and -ep- resented here by MT. McCants. has in seven years become tho second largest cement company in the south The company started with one kiln and has lately completed the installation of sufficient number of lSilnss to bring the output up to 100000 barrels per year.
 "We have never shut down one day since We entered the Birmingham field" said Mr. Hanahan last night at the Tutwiler. and if good fortune con tinues with us we will not shut down during this so-calIed stringency. our plant Is now operating overtime and VIC feel certain that conditions will net necessitate our cessation of oper- aiions. We started here with plant making 7o,000 barrels and now we have a plant that ia making 100000 barrels. This tremendous increase is due to the stability Of this market. the wonderfully fortunate district where we are located and the general idea that is becoming more widespread that cement is tho construction factor in all the big undertakings of this country.
 We are exceedingly optimistic. We feel that the European war, while in- tensely regretted, will not mitigate against us to the extent of causing any letting up in business. On the con- trary we think that the war will help us immensely. We have come to Bir- mingham to make an Inspection of the pi operties and to see MT. McCants. who is from our state and who represents LIS in this district. We will pay a visit to Leeds before we leave. The situation is growing better all the time"
 MT. Hanahan Is accompanied by John Hertz. vice president. who is from Charleston; r. H. Lewis. a director, of Bir mingham; k. II. smith of Richmond, NJ. R. Rosenbaum of Richmand, Charles Cartlett of stanton. Va, and J. Fred Efenger of Washington. They are be- ing shown around Birmingham by MT. Lewis and MT.

It was a great parade the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine pulled off yesterday and again the nobility demonstrated to an admiring public that their famous slogan. Great .are the Shriuers." is true
 Notwithstanding the icy atmosphere over 800 red fezzed Shriners joined in procession formed at the Orpheum theatre and paraded the principal streets of the city Headed by Drum Major Sam Foley and the Shriners' band, under the direction of Prof. Charles Plank. the profession made q brave showing. Closely following the band was the Arab patrol, commanded by Capt. Jack Riddle. and it is safe to say that mot Solomon in all his glcry was arrayed like one of these. " They executed a number of intricate movements along the line of march and attracted much attention by their gorgeous raiment and the precision with which the movements were exc cuted.
 Next came a long line of nobles which was broken at periods by ve- hicles loaded with Shriners in unique attireA Half a dozen red fezzed and red nosed Shrlners were perched on the water wagon. It is but justice to them to say that the bloom on their noses was due to the brand of weather rather than any other brand. Capt. J. R. McGregor led the famous Shrlners goat or rather it led him. It was decked out in special colors and just to show he played no fayorites his goatship landed on the rear anotomy of the gallant captain on more than one occasion, and landed him half way across the street.
 The long string of candidates was
