terminals at North Birmingham and on
engine shops.
y. l. Carpenter & Gothic several
bcarish factors that have developed In
the cotton market the past week have
shaken confidence. and. combined with
the uncertainty of the Mexican situation.
have created a pessimistic feeling that
looks like lower prices temporarily. How
ever. on any decided weak opening would
cover shorts and wait for a rally before
selling again.
Beef cattle selling II 70 100 is practi-
cally the top price prevailing at some
UT the Western markets now. President
Michael \. Bright, OF the National Live
stock Exchange Of East 81. Louis, says:
'''The price Of bscf will continue to go up
until there Is another crop of corn
Wellington Levitt, chief cattle buyer Of
Swift & Co. Chicago. says: We must
have more cattle and better cattle. The
Cattlcmen should be willing to do their
part. considering the splendid prices
which are now being paid on all markets
for his product. There should be masni-
fiocnt profits in the cattle industry il the
PRODUCERS themselves will take advantage
of cheapened feeding methods and carry
only Il good class Of cattle" He does
rot expect meat imports to make much
Of an impression in prices.
The Standard OIL Company has placed 4
contract with the United States Steel
Corporation for its 1914 plate and steel
pipe requirements, calling for approNi-
mately 10000 tons of material. of which
about 10000 tons is steel pipe of various
sizes and tubing and casing for well
drilling. Tie remaining 10000 tons is
plates for oil storage tanks and general
construction
The National Tube Company will supply
the big pipe tonnage. The bulk of the
plate tonnage will be turned out by the
Carnegie Steel Company.
This contract is larger than the usual
one placed 10y the Standard OIL Company
each year. owing to the greater activity
in developing new territory. The tonnage
is expected TO 80 well absorb the avail
able capacity Of the Steel Corporation
mills that it will greatly stimulate the
entire pipc and plate market.

Rome, March 7-CorporaI Vincenzo
Romano. an old warrior who fought
under Garibaldi, has just been granted q
royal pardon for a murder he is alleged
to have committed. and is now free after
fifty-two years Of prison life.
The cause of my misfortune he says,
was Bourbon spy, who passed into
the service OF Italy after l left Carl
baIdi in 1861. He denounced me as nav
ing evaded my regular conscript service.
We had high words and he hit me with
his gun. knocking out several teeth. In
anger l unluckily exclsimed: When my
recruiting days are over I'll come back
and shoot you Somehow or other that
man actually was riddled with gunshot
shortly after my return from military
service in 1865.
Twenty days later was arrested. tried
and condemned to death. though the truth
is l was an innocent victim of a strange
coincidence"

Financing of ID. d %.

There is a good deaf of criticism in
financial circles of some OF the trunk
lines for their practice of restoring TO
the expensive and undesirable method OF
issIing notes to meet their financial re-
qufrements instead of funding their
necessities with long term issues. 1t is
POSSIBLE that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad which has $50, co., 900 of one-year
: per cent notes. maturing on July ] next.
may set an example to the other rail-
roads by selling some of its Chicago
Terminal first mortgage bonds or other
treasury securities to meet the July
Inaturities The management has been
for some time discussing the situation
with banking interests, but the final plan
will not be determined upon until late
in the spring. when its details will depend
almost wholly upon the investment con-
Gitiors prevailing at that time.
The Consolidated Gas. Electric Light
and Power Company yesterday made ap-
pilcatiOn to the Public Service Commits

proceeds will be used for construction

pany is now in London and it is likely
he will avail of the opportunity to sell
the new issue of debenture stock abroad
where the last issue was placed.

(By Associated Press J

London, July 27.-The Austro-
Seryian situation is unchanged to-
day. All Europe is preparing for
war. Some believe that the Ger
man emperor who returned fom his
northern cruise this morning will
try for peace. 1t was reported that
Austria will not send her armies
against Belgrade until tomorrow
European powers, except Austria,
seem to regard Servia's reply as fair.
1t grants all the demands that SOW
ereign state could. There is little
use in Seryia asking for mediation
as Austria has declared that the mat
ter is between her and Servia alone.
Austria is backed in this by Ger
many and Italy, partners in the
tiple alliance. England is deter
mined to stand aside but she is pre-
pairing her warships, and sailors on
leave of absence have been recalled
