HEAD OF PAVING
 COMPA ANY IN CITY Ingram Says War Will Not Affect Importation of
 Paving Materials

C. M. Ingram, president of the southern Bitulithic company. was here yesterday for few hours in confer
 ence with James Narby and other mem
 bers of the Birmingham organization. With Mir. Narby and attaches of the To-
 cal offices Mir. Ingram left yesterday aft
 ernoon for New Orleans, where con-
 tracts for over s1,0oo.00O worth of work
 arc to be let during the next few days.
 "Business has not halted very ma- terially," said Mir. Ingram. We find that the situation is far from discour- aging by reason of the war. The cities in the south where we dd business are
 all progressive. They are officered by
 men who know the value of progress
 sive measures and the result is we arc enjoying a period of unusual activity in this section.
 In connection with the war, there is absolutely no danger of the Euro
 pean situation affecting the importa-
 ton of paving materials so far as know. l am assured that all the ma terials that we need are available and
 we will not stop on account of the war"
 | MT. Ingram inspected some work yestoIday in Birmingham and was un- usua-iy complimentary to the city and its outlook for the future.

WHEAT SCORES GAIN
 ,0F SIS ID 33-SC
Prices Constitute New High Levels-COrn Advances
 5-S to 1 3-Sc

Chicago. August 25.-Wheat again re- hponded to the bugle call today and reg istered asgain of 3s@Sssc on the theory that Europe would have to pay the price. The prices constituted new high levels. Corn advanced 5s@1%c and oats 7s@1lc. Provisions concluded the session, 7it@221kc higher, except September pork which dropped 65c.
 The local wheat pit took it's first cue. after opening without material change, from the northwestern markets which be- ' gan to jump on buying of millers. The bulge met profit taking without materially affecting the price. The bulls were fur ther bolstered by reports that the French government had bought some dye and 900 bushels of wheat at the sea board. Rumors of Italian mobilization d. rected attention to an estimate that Italy would need to import 4O.0o0,000 bushels. Country offerings puffed up a bit.
 The wheat bulge, the weekly report of the weather bureau on crop conditions and confirmation by railroads of damage in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois accounted for the advance in corn, which tlclosed firm. Country offerings were small.
 Commission houses undisturbed by an apparent cessation of the export de- mand, brought about the advance in oats.
 Scattered longs liquidated September contracts in the provisions pitt while Oc- tober lard and ribs were for sale by pack CTS.

ALMOST CERTAIN FOR AVE. F
l.. & N. Railroad Objects to Grade Crossing-Brooks
 Before Commission

Following a conference with superin- tendent T. E. Brooks of the Louisville and Nashville railroad yesterday, 1t is probable the city commissioners will se- cure the construction of an underpass at Avenue r and Seventh street. where the new Elmwood line of the Birmingham Railway Light and power compahy and the Louisville and Nashville railroad will cross
 Owing to strenuous objections by abut- ting property owners on the part ot Ave- nue F, where the underpass or subway was to be butt, the city commissioners had abandoned the plan and had agreed to a grade crossing, MT. Brooks stated yesterday, however. that he regarded the proposed grade crossing as the most dam gerous in the city; that all but one of the property owners had agreed to waive damages and that after a little more ne- gotiations he believed the subway could be built.
 GeAeral Manager J. H. r. DeWindt os the street car company and Superintend ent Brooks will confer with the commis sion again next week.

FLOUR PRICES ARE
 STILL ADVANCING Substantial Increases Noted Yesterday = Heavy De-
 mand for Poultry


 The flour market continues to rise. Self rising flour has advanced 25 cents a barrel in the past few days. Tennessee flour 20 cents and Michigan flour s5 cents. and wheat quotations steadily advance. There was another rise of 1 cent in the egg market yesterday. ',he demand for eggs and poultry is excellent
 Poultry dealers state thot the present strong demand in the poultry market might be regarded as resulting from sympathy with the war prices prevailing on commodities which are needed abroad When prices on meats and other food stuffs advance the more poultry is con sumed. and this extra demand sometimes contributes toward making higher prices in this market. Poultry. however, Is plentiful at the present time.

LOOKOUT YOUNGSTERS
 LOOK LIKE COMERS

Lefty Ross. the left-hander purchased from the Jackson Independent club. held the Barons without hit or run during the last four innings. He relieved Howell in the fifth. Stopping a hard-hitting club is one of the most arduous trials any pitcher can be subjected to. but Ross proved equal to tho task.
 The southpaw is young and of a rangy. scant build. He has an abundance of smoke. but did not show very effec- tive curve ball. With his speed and con trol Ross should prove winner.
 Before the close of the series AfcCor- mick will probably give Morgan the pitcher purchased from Salt Lake City. a chance to baffe the Barons Bill Bern hard Is sponsor for the statement that Morgan will star. Currie, the pitcher who is to be given an early trial with Chattanooga. will not report in Birming- ham. He has informed the Lookouts that he will report at Montgomery.

Napoleon of Finance

TO the EdItor Of The Age-Herald.
 When Candidate Weatherly gets his $. 900 bond issue passed and sold, and the interest for the four years (time named which to construct the water worksl has been paid he will thus have only s3,5OO.00o left to construct said water works. and when the taxpayers get through paying the s75O,000 for connect ing the houses with the citys new water plant and the thousands of increased water rates for the four years. and the $135,000 for increased fire insurance per annum, no doubt he will feel assured that he will go down in history as a Napoleonic flnancier.
