WEEKEND TRADE IS UP ID STANDARD Supply on Hand Expected to Be Cleaned Up-Grain
 Men Active

The produce merchants report an excel lent weekend trade. and the stock in most lines will be almost exhausted upon the close this evening Grain and feed dealers are doing a thriving business in Birmingham. There are few variations in this trade and quotations seldom change; but the demand and supply are steady, and the wholesale men, as a rule, are well pleased with the market afforded by this city and contributory territory.
 The greater portion of the grain reach ing the Birmingham market is produced in the middle west. While great quan- titles of corn are raised by Alabama farmers, the most of it Is consumed by home raised stock thus leaving the deal CTS to certain extent dependent upon the middle west for grain. Alabama farmers are producing greater crops of hay and grain every year. and Alabama hay is even now in abundance on the Birmingham market. Home production results in great saving in freight rates and the farmer gets full advantage of this saving.

b ID B POINTS
 NET GAIN IN COTTON
Sharp Advance Follows Stopping of July
 Notices

New York, June 26.-A sharp ad- vance followed the stopping of July notices in the cotton market today and the close was steady at net gain of Is to 2S points on old crop and of g to 12 points on new crop positions. During early trading attention centered on the near positions. It was the first July notice day and notices estimated at about 5000 bales were said to be circulating.
 They brought out heavy July liqul- dation through commission house brokers and while there was no talk of competition for the cotton 1t was evi- dent that spot people did not wish to lose control of the local stock. By mid day 1t was said all notices had been taken up and the market developed in creasing firmness on detailed weather reports showing very high tempera- lures east of the river.
 The market opened steady at a de- crease of points on July but generally unchanged to points higher in sym pathy with the relatively firm show ing of Liverpool. After some irregular ity offerings were readily absorbed and the active months sold Il to 22 points net higher during the afternoon.
 rather bearish view of the week end figures promoted some selling and the advance was interrupted by slight reactions, but closing prices were prac- tically the best of the day on the ac- tive positions. Except for local show CTS in parts of west Texas. the Caro- linas and Georgia, the official forecast was for continued fair weather In the belt.

IMPORTANT SHARES
 SHOW AN ADVANCE Apprehension Produced in Various Quarters by Claf-
 lin Failure Dispelled

New York, June 26.-Judging from the relative firmness of today's stock market, much of the apprehension pro- duced in various quarters by the Claf- lin failure seems to have been dis pelled.
 Following London's lead, stocks opened at general advances, the gain in many standard issues extending to over a full point. Much of this was lost before the end of the first hour when fresh liquidation. due to rumors dealing with Lehigh Valley and the government, caused loss of about half the advance.
 In the latter session moderate buy ing of the leaders at more or less steady gains imparted the best tone the close, the rise in the most im- portant shares ranging between 1 and points. A factor of some assistance in making for more cheerful senti- ment was the announcement that the owen stock exchange bill had been stricken from the Senates calendar and referred back to the committee.
 Some of the special stocks which have been subject to unfavorable con- ditions were again depressed. United Dry Goods preferred fell another 12 points to 53, but recovered more than half it's loss before the close. Wells Fargo Express, which yesterday suf- fered a severe reduction in it's div iGend, lost points, and American Elk press E.
 There was another gold export en- gagement of $1,000,000 in spite of a further rise in exchange and fore casts of the weekly cash movement, in- dcating loss of s6,000,000 to sS,O00,- , coo bore directly on this situation.
 The bond market was irregular. To- tai sales, par value, aggregated s2, 170,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

London Lint Turns to Embroidery

From the New York Tribune.
 When does a mans evening clothes be- come embroidery, Mir. Jones?"
 T don't know, Brother Bones. When does mans evening clothes become em- broidery, Brother Bones?"
 When there's braid on 'em. Brother Jones. Brother Smith will now sing that touching little -ditty. | Ain't Crazy. If | Do Work in the Custom House. !"
 All of which appertains to q ruling in the board of appraisers that will appeal to American tourists returning from Eu- rope with clothes made by the fashionable tailors Of London, who, even Fifth avenue tailors will admit. do know how to make evening clothes" The board has ruled that clothing made without braid or tape shall pay duty at the regular rate on clothing of 30 per cent. If. however, there Is braid on the trousers or on the coat the suit must be taxed as embroidered goods and pay duty at the rate of 60 per cent
 The ruling won't affect the importation of evening clothes to any great extent. however, at least, not by those who know of it. They will have the amount of their stewards trips on the way over by having the little tailor around the corner put on the tape after the goods are landed. As for those who do not know of the ruling. ignorance of customs laws excuse many kicks.

WHEAT |SLEFTA AT
 MERCY OF BEARS
Threshing Returns Largely Responsible for Break.
 Closed Lower

Chicago. June e6.-Threshing returns were largely responsible today for leaving wheat at mercy of the. bears. The mar ket broke cents a bushel and, although steady at the close. was 1is cents to Ia cents under last night. Corn showed a net decline of 4@ss cents, and oats of asp A cents
 In provisions the outcome varied from a setback of 7ia cents to % cents ad- vance.
 It was announced that railroad officials who month ago estimated the Kansas crop at 130,000000 bushels. had raised the total to 170000.0o0 bushels. Gossip from another source had 1S0, 100000 bushels as more likely to prove nearer the reality. Export buying, figured at 100000 bushels, helped to steady prices in the last part of the day.
 Corn sagged with wheat. but encoun- tered active buying on the decline. In- creased shipments from Argentina and lower offers from there counted against the bulls. Improvement in tho crop out look had a bearish influence on oats. Covering by shorts lifted July pork. The
 rest of the provision market, however, labored under pressure of sales by pack CTS.
 Future quotations were as follows.

 Miss Carrie Yates, who has returned from a motor trip to Rome, Ga., left yes- terday for Montgomery to visit Miss Katherine Whitfield.
 
 Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Pickens Mcqueen,  vance here, as the trade is strongly of the opinion that 1t is unlikely the crop can withstand any unfavorable factors.
 As to general conditions the trade is trying to reach an appreciation of the effect upon business of the failure of H. B. Claf1in & Co.,. whose liabilities are 1oI. 1fotxf those of any commercial house in Amer ica
 Will 1t cause curtailment of credit, or will 1t be regarded as simply a local fail- ure, due to the depression of business in the eastern states, and an undue expan- sion of an individual business firm.
 The consideration of these questions yesterday tended to hold in check the advance which, in the present bullish temper of the local trade, might have been anticipated as a result of such ex- treme temperatures.
