 The weekly reviews of the steel trade authorities furnished the only discordant note of the day. it being fatly declared that conditions have grown worse instead or better Consumers. if was asserted are well provided for the rest of the year, and the money market is calculated to re- strict new buying. It is not denied that there have been price concessions in some products.
 Lower prices have stimulated a better demand for copper. but the further cur tailment of operations at Michigan and Montana points of production is viewed as an infallible barometer of the adverse conditions in that industry
 Despite a reduction in operating ex- penses of almost $700,000, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad reported net loss for August of $235O00.

BRISK SALES IN
 PRODUCE MARKET Grapes of All Kind Are Be-
 ing Consumed in Large :. Quantities

The produce men on Morris avenue are well stocked and sales are re- ported brisk. California grapes are on the market in large quantities, and the demand for malaga grapes is good. Concord grapes are also in popular fa- vor, and a great number of small bas- kets are disposed of daily to the whole sale trade. The four-pound baskets of Concords are now quoted at l5 cents in wholesale lots.
 The poultry and egg market is steady, and is well supplied with the exception of hens, which are at present rather scarce here. This is regarded as only temporary, however, and is said to have been caused by diverting part of the Birmingham supply to New York to meet the holiday demand in that city. Eggs and frying chick ems are plentiful in Birmingham, ana sales are good

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York tember>2s.-Financial de- veopments of the day were of hopeful character. The outcome of the New York city sl0oooo, 600 loan, with the notes already quoted at a substantial prem ium and the energy manifested by the leading bankers of the country in con nection with the gold pool were regarded as sure indications of returning confi- dence.
 There was a renewal of the gold move- nent to Canada, over s30OO.oo0 being shipped to Ottawa, presumably in con- nection with the city loan, to which par ticipants paid their second installment today. It generally Is believed that ex- ports for this account will not exceed S25'00O,o00, and this sum was mentioned as the probable extent of the movement across the northern border for the s10O.- oOo.oO0 pool.
 Foreign exchange moved uncertainly again, early bills being sold under yes- terday's high rates, but reboundng later

 Tuscaloosa Gets Thrill

Tuscaloosa, September 23 -tSpeciai.)-In an effort to prevent a disastrous crash into the crowds in the grandstand at the West Alabama fair here late this after noon, George NJ. Keightleich demolished his hyplane against the race track em- bankment and narrowly escaped with his life. He was preparing to make flight before a grandstand when the accident occurred
 The machine was racing down the track at a very rapid rate. when suddenly it became unmanageable It suddenly sv erved toward the grandstand where hundreds of men, women and children were standing watching the machine in it's efforts to rise. Seeing the danger the aviator hastily jerked the machine to tho other side of the track and crashed into h.-rembankment surrounding the race track. Just as the machine struck the embankment the aviator leaped from his seat and thereby escaped death. He was hurled some distance from the wreckaga but escaped with a sprained ankle and few bruises.
 The accident was witnessed by several thousand people and on account of the narrow escape of the crowds in the grand stand caused q thrill of intense excite ment.

WHEAT SHOWS NET ; ADVANCE FOR DAY In Corn Outcome Varied From Slight Decline to

Chicago. September 23.-Nheat prices finished strong today, A@1isc above Hast night. In corn the outcome varied from 11sc decline to a shade advance and for oats from unchanged figures to sse gain. The final range in pro visions was 21s Q71ac up.
 As much as 100000 bushels of wheat was said to have been sold last week for export at Portland, Ore, and an equal amount at Tacoma and Seattle In addition dispatches from the Ore son told of su pners there loading Tor England, thesIrst for years. The Pa cific coast advices caught the Chicago trade leaning to the bear side and brought on a general furry among shorts. Fine weather and slowness of demand weakened corn.
 Business in oats was curtailed by difficulty in financing European ship ments. Price changes were of a sec saw character
 In the provisions pit demand for lard was farily good, but for meats rather slow.
