STOCKS NORMAL FOLLOWING SHOCK

New York, May s.-All other devcl- opments Of the week including the complicated situation in the far east, were swept aside Friday and Saturday while the financial markets of two hemispheres paused to ponder the re- suit of Germanys latest exploit. The sinking of the Lusitania was recoe- nized as an event of world wide i,n- rortance and no attempt was made to minimize it's possible results
 In point of fact the New York stock market gave the strongest proof of its ability to withstand the shock Values fell precipitately Friday, Tut soon made material recoveries. satur- day another selling wave threatened 70 effect severe declines but again the list made prompt response.
 Dispassionate observers believe everts of the coming week will bear more directly on the torpedoing of the British liner, the Gulflight incident, ltaly's attitude and the outcome of Ja pans ultimatum to China Az for the stock market itself 1t will be inter- csting to observe the effect of recent happenings on stocks which have re- oeived their greatest momentum from war orders"

GETTING THEIR ANGORAS

Say, fellows, you gotta hand 1t to De- catur. That was some entertainment
 
 That Birmingham crowd of delegates certainly enjoyed the return trip Satur- day evening. They had Just got enough of that Decatur spirit of good fellow acquainted than ever and they huddled together in one end of that special car which the Louisville and Nashville SC courteously put on for them and turne ed loose on the country their magnificent voices. Every song from Rock "a Bye Baby" to "ripperary" was hurled in stentorian tones across the country side. Along the line farmers would cease from their labors and gaze al the train until 1t passed from view wondering what possessed that crowd in the last car but one.
 When they got to making speeches Henry Hiden was right there with the goods. MT. Hiden gave many of those who knew him a view of a hitherto un explored side of his nature and turned loose some of the cleverest sallies upon members of the party that have been heard in recent months. Frank Means and MT Hiden had a red hot debate that kept the car in an uproar for miles 70. P Smith finally was prevailed upon to get into 1t, as MT. Hiden had so un- mercifully lamba sted both MT. Smith and his beloved Johnson grass, and everyone wanted to know what he had to say about 1t.
 While all the fun making was Roins g on D. B. Williamson. over in corner, observed MT. Means vociferously scar son quietly wondered what Frank means" It took few moments for the joke to percolate through the boys and when it did rush was made for the perpetrator. He escaped, unfortunately. 1. While we are talking about William son if might be we'll to add that he came near losing what he describes as abso- lutely the most charming young lady who ever was fortunate enough to breathe In fact, Mir. Williamson waxed so eloauent about that young lady and her manifold charms that the writer is disposed to believe what he says. Mir. Williamson said that in The Age Herald a couple of weeks or so ago, when the names of Post B. delegates to the convention were printed. 1t was stated that 'Mr. Williamson and wife would be among those present. Now, as Mir Williamson never has been fortu nate enough to be the husband of any woman, 1t proved very embarrassing when the aforementioned beautiful young lady took him to task about It. He had told her he was unmarried, as l In fact, he is.
 But she saw it in The Age Herald that MT Williamson and wife would attend the state convention. MT. Will liamson has as yet been unable to ex- platn the matter and threatens to sue the writer for alienation of the affec- | ton of the fair lady.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-05-10

In explanation of the error which cost Mir. Williamson so dearly a type written list of edlegates was given The Age Herald The writer had no cause to doubt the authenticity of the list and just because some alleged joke smith, who seems to find pleasure in spelling the happiness of youthful
 iovers, placed and wife" after MT. VII | liamsons name is no reason why l
 should be sued for it.
 Jim" Carney was in four dfferen, places on that boat on the Tennessee
 river yesterday. I saw him at three
 card tables playing setback with three other young ladies and then found him on the lower deck explaining why 1n,
 steamers whistle was so active to an-
 other beautiful lady. He had Just said l this:
 l Why, you sec there are SO many | farm wagons crossing the stream that l the engineer blows his whistle every
 time he thinks about 1t as a warning | to the farmers to give him clear track
 It was thought he had found his ideal
 just before the dinner whitle sounded
 but MT. Carney came up smiling with | another young lady after dinner, mak | ing a grand total of Il young ladies ] he had endeayored to impress with his
 engaging smile. An. we'll. boys will be boys.
 In few days 1t is hoped The Age Herald will have a photograph of thv
 newly elected president MT. Raneys charming wife and beautiful daughter made many new friends Saturday and
 hope to have group picture of them all.
 O. P. Fontaine yesterday afternoon
 accused Henry Hiden of being the ladies" man of the Birmingham dele gation. In fact, Mir. Fontaine said MT. Hiden acted as escort to Mrs. Fontaine

Fontaines nose and that he did not have chance to enjoy the day because of the annoyance.s He intimated that he had suggested to MT. Fontaine that he would gladly introduce that gentleman to almost any young lody in the party If he would be nice to her.

COTTON MARKET SUFFERS SETBACK Decline Most Rapid Since Opening of War Last
 Summer

New Orleans, May s.-The outstanding featur of the cotton market this week was the weakness Immediately after the sinking of the Lusitania Not since the opening of the war last summer has the market shown such a rapid decline, prices crumbllng away nearly a half cent a pound in a short time after the first rumors of the disaster We're received
 This decline came after several days of easiness and heavy selling. which was for long and short account Longs were unfavorably impressed by the pes simistic tone of English news and threw cotton overheard from the first of the week. Bears were given greater ad- vantage than they had had in months. The one great idea back of the selling which was caused by the sinking of the Lusitania appeared 10 be that it might result in fresh and far reaching inter- national complications Also, 1t was feared that this evidence of German ac- tivity might result in prohibitive insur- ance rates att sea which would almost shut off cotton exports.
 At the lowest Of the week trading months were 72 to 80 points under last weeks final prices. The week closed at a net loss of 67 to T points. At the best of the week the strongest months were only to 3 points over last weeks close.
 While the new crop Is gaining In im- portanoe of a market factor and is in one of it's critical stages. that of being brought mp to a stand and chopped out. it is hardly likely in the near future for crop and weather news to assume the importance they usually do at this tune of the year. Traders are too absorbed with the political situation to allow that. Developments arising out of the war may at any time cause violent price changes one way or another.

Ry HOLLAND

New York, May 9.-(SpeciaL)-If there can be discovery now of the approximate ly correct amount of American securities in the ownership of citizens of other coun- tries than the United States it will be made through conferences and comparison of notes or information in which repre- sentatives of American bankers and also representatives of American railroad com panies participate. It was with this un- derstanding that Gov. Benjamin Strong, Jr, Of the reserve bank for this dis trict invited men of knowledge in finan- cial matters and of experience in railroad management to meet him in infor- nal conference at the reserve bank a few days ago. This conference must in many respects have resembled the one which was held at Washington in October of last year In that conference the representa- lives of the reserve banks of the 12 dis tricts of the United States took part. Sir George Paish, who was at that time in present or was near by so that he was able to glean from those who did take part what had been disclosed at the conference.
 The purposes, however, of the Washing ton conference last fall and of those which have just begun in this city are not sim- liar. The country was just beginning to emerge from chaos in midfall. Sir George Paish's visit to the United States was made officially by direction of the Brit sh treasury and with intent to discover ways and means by which the emergency SD far as England and the United States were concerned could be ended. He had earlier estimated that the aggregate Amer ican securities in the hands of citizens of other lands were possibly much as s6, GOO, ,O00, ,O0o and certainly as much as s5, 900 00o,00o Whatever the amount it was the magnitude of it which in a great meas ure persuaded the government of the New York Stcck exchange to close the doors, there being fear that the securities might be dumped upon the American market.
