WHEAT ANDCORN
SHOW STRENGTH
Huge Exports and Smaller
Receipts Are Response
BILE for the Gains.

Chicago. Ill, Dec. 2S.-Fresh strength de-
veloped in wheat today, owing largely to
falling off in~receipts, to the huge exports
and the fact that no peace was in sight
Opening quotations which were 3 to &c
up, were followed by a rise to 1c or more
all around above Saturdays close
The close was unsettled at Is to TX to
Is &c net lower.
Corn displayed some sympathy with the
wheat strength. After opening off to &c
advance, the market steadied at about the
same as Saturday night
The close was weak IL to 1asc net lower.
Firmness was the rule in oats
Provisions swung upward as a result Of
higher prices for hogs.

TELEPHONE TALKS In
NORWAY ARE CENSORED

Christiania, Norway. Dec. 2S.-In her
desire TO maintain strict neutrality,
Norway is even keeping tabs on tele-
phone conversations. If matters of a
military nature are discussed over the
telephone, central will disconnect the
takers instantly.
These regulations have been enforced
largely as a result of the pressure
eXerted by Germany. They have
aroused bitter resentment from both
press and public; but the country as a
whole feels that, being a small nation,
Norway cannot afford to antagonize
the belligerents.

R0UMANIA TO JOIN ALLIES;
BULGARIA REMAINS NEUTRAL

Paris, France, Dec. 2S.-The only OBJ
stacle to Roumanias joining the forces
of the triple entente, according to the
Figaro, was the lack of guarantees
from Bulgaria regarding, that countrys
neutrality. The Figaro learns from a
good source, it says today, that these
guarantees have now been obtained as
a result of the joint action of the triple
entente powers at Sofia, with the
further understanding that, in the
event of Bulgaria deciding to inter-
vene in the war il would be against the
enemies of the entente

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

New York, September 1S.-Another sharp decline in foreign exchange was the most interesting phase of the financial situa- ton today, together with the announce ment that the new city loan had been oversubscribed In fact, the further break In exchange was accepted as a measure of foregn participation in the loan
 Dealing in bills on London was exten- sive, being quoted at as low as s4 93, with moderate declines expected later. Taking this low figure as basis exchange is down about cents from the weeks high est level and more than 10 cents since the first of the month. This points strongly to return of practically nor maj money conditions between New York and London ere long
 \ sign of improvement was found in the retirement of & number of call loans that had hung over the past fortnight Acceptances of commercial paper by in terior banks were freer. Bankers favor the temporarily abandoned at the suggestion of the federal reserve board when local banking institutions agreed to finance this cty's maturing debts abroad. It Is felt the plan would fortfy this coun- trys credits in Europe.
 Moderate shipments of gold to Canada were made. Banks in the Dominion again were offering money here at per cent but the demand was so high as to make the loans almost impossible.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-19

Bank clearings continue good but re- ceipts from outside of the city are rela- lively favorable, declines in some sec tions being partially offset by gains else where so that the total is only 63 per cent under the corresponding period of last year. New Orleans shows a large contraction by reason of the unsettled cotton market
 Trade authorities report some fayora ble developments in textiles and general mer- chandise, especially in the middle west. that section deriving some benefit from big crops and higher prices Improve ment is noted in copper but demand for Iron and steel continues light
 The banking syndicate which under took to finance New York city's debts Tn Europe by the flotation of a $1O0. : 000.000 per cent note issue, running, from one to three years announced to- day that subscriptions in excess of the amount required had been received
 It is believed foreign participation is fully 20 per cent of the whole. That Is to say, many holders of maturing notes, held largely in London and Paris, have agreed to accept the new notes in lieu of cash for the expiring issues.
 The notes were offered at par and the participants Fincluded almost every financial institution in the city clear ing house association. Among the out of-town subscribers are a great many banks, trust companies and insuranc companies. Large individual subscrip- tions were received.

FILTER BEDS ID BE
 BUILT BY COUNTY Sanitary Engineer to Ad- vertise for Bids-Will
 Cost $9O,000

The board of revenue yesterday au- thorized l.. H. Salter sanitary engineer, to advertise for bids for the construc- tion of filter beds at the sewerage disposal plant near Bessemer. Speci- fjcations can be secured at the office of MT Salter and all bids will be opened at 12 o'clock September 29 by the board, which reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
 The estimated cost of building these filter beds is about $90.000 and is the beginning of work to improve con ditions and to make the Bessemer plant ore of the best in the entire country. It Is the intention of the board to erect a plant at Bessemer modelled after the septic plant at Ensley, although on a much larger scale. Experts who have visited the Ensley plant state it is one of the best In the United States and the board of revenue expects to make the plant at Bessemer the most modern and up-to-date plant for the disposal Of sewerage in the United States.

FAVOR MEETING OF
 SOUTHERN BANKERS
Executive Council of Ala bama Association Invites
 Them Here

With view to securing united &C., tioiL among Southern bankers in ham, ding this years cotton crop the execu- tive council of the Alabama Bankers association has suggested a meeting of southern bankers in Birmingham Sep- tcnber 2s. Secretary McLane Tilton
 yesterday sent the following telegram
 to secretaries of all bankers associa-
 tions in the cotton growing states:
 "The executive council of the Ala
 bama Bankers association met today to consider the connected problems of Keeping off the market the present cotton surplus and of reducing produc- tion next year. It was decided that uniform and concerted action by all the cotton growing states was essen tiai to accomplish the ends in view. No other way of preparing and agreeing upon a practical plan presents itself to us than by a meeting of the off cers of the bankers associations of these states. If there Is a proper re- sponse to this telegram from a suf- ficient number. Alabama will invite such association officers to meet at Birmingham at noon, September 2S.
