The unqualified appreciation of the

The management of this spacious
coliseum runs "A double bill every

the 5-piece orchestra engaged, which
has been imported at great expense
to the management, and each mem
Der of which is an artist of the first

can enjoy by the hour and listen tc
the sweet strains of Gounod and Men,
delssohn or the martial music of
Chopin and other masters, as Dor
trayed in dashing style by this excel
lent string band, which is worth the
price of admission itself
This entertaining arena of amuse-
ment has fixed its charges at the ri
dlculously low price of Is cents and
the combined performance thus en-
traces maximum Of enjoyment at
minimum of expenditure. The propri-

Nearly All Retail Stores Close In the Afternoon. Shipments of Alabama Produce Light

Business in the wholesale district yes the afternoon almost all of the establish ments were closed for the Fourth. Many Of the retail stores also closed their doors at noon, and the demand in most lines was accordingly small.
 A heavy trade however, is anticipated for today, and produce receipts are expect ed to be larger than usual. Only a few light shipments of produce arrived in Birmingham yesterday, and these for the greater part consisted of express ship ments of poultry and cantaloupes.
 Among receipts from Alabama points yesterday were: 26 crates peaches, Dorn; Il crates squash Owenton; Il crates plums and 1 hamper apples, Cullman: one ham per pepper, Evergreen; il crates tomatoes, Castleberry; crates cantaloupes. Theo- dore GOODS chickens and l case eggs, Winfield, crates tomatoes, Bayou Lu- butre; 14 cases eggs, New Hope: 1 case eggs, Sullgent; 3 coops chickens. Yer bena; GOODS chickens. Collinsville; g cases eggs Millport.
 A large crop of Alabama peaches has been grown InlS year. ana farmers In all parts of the state are making shipments to this city. Prices are rather low but even then quite a neat profit is netted by the man with few acres in this fruit.
 Among Jefferson county orchardmen bringing peaches to market yesterday was John Denman, who has a farm and orch ard five or six miles south of Birming- ham, Mr Denman makes the following remarks regarding his crop:
 'I have about seven acres in peach trees and 20 or 25 in corn. Both crops this year are doing nicely. This is an excep- tionally favorable season for corn, and roasting ears are now on the market in large quantities. I have had peaches for a month and placed them on the local market Prices now are somewhat lower than was the case at the beginning of the season; but l am now avera ging $1 per crate. l estimate that my peach crop this year will amount to fully 800 crates for the seven acres''
