STOCK SPECULATION
 MORE CONSERVATIVE
War Shares Decline and Speculation Shifts to
 Other Lines

New York, July s1.-By comparison with the heavy trading and wide move ments of the earlier days of the week. today's stock market inclined toward the prosaic. Speculation was on more con- servative lines. The outside demand for the war shares fell off largely. and the Dextent of their rise of the week brought up the question of their stability at prevailing prices. Accordingly there was tendency to shift speculation to other lines, and the market developed greater breadth. Widest movements were still in the war groups, but other industriais such as the fertilizers and also the rail- road stocks figured more prominently In the transactions. Total sales were 260,- GOO shares.
 Opening changes were slight. Profess sional traders felt their way until it be- came evident that there was a steady undertone. whereupon a broad buying movement was begun. Prices rose easily, and during the greater part of the half session, higher level prevailed, with gains running up to points.
 In. the last half hour the market felt the effect of profit taking sales. Holders or speculative lines of the war shares were disposed to reduce their commit ments-a step which was advised in some instances by commission houses The consequent tendency toward reaction was emphasized by reports that Americans had lost their lives on the steamship |, ,1berian, although the British nationality 'of the vessel and the circumstances at- tending her sinking made the incident less disturbing to the street than the tor- pedoing of the Leelanaw. In the late re- action, quotations were depressed sharply and final changes were irregular. with net losses for some of the favorite war issues.
 The trend toward bullish speculation in the railroads was attributed primarily to good showings in June statements. New York Central's figures, with net earnings over $1.6750 000 in excess of last year, caused an upturn in that stock. The benefits expected on the basis of good crop prospects and the optimistic tenor of trade reviews also were of in- fuence on the railroad stocks.
 The bond market was firm. Total sales, par value, sl,425,0o0.

centre. smaller perch is inadvisable. Dropping boards are erected below the roosts at convenient height for clean ing.
 Nests in Semi-darkness
 Suspended from these are the nests. with the side toward the rear wall open for the hens to enter The front of the nests Is hinged lid that makes 1t con venelnt from the attendant to gather eggs, renew the nesting material and remove the setting. An arrangement of this kind leaves the interior of the nests In semi-darkness, which is much ap- preciated by the hen, and the seclusion also discourages fighting and egg breaking, popular practice when the nests are exposed Moreover, the floor area Is nnobstructed and this is ar important consideration In small building.
 A smal hole should be cut In the front wall AS a means of egress for the fowls. and fitted with a door sliding verti- cally In two grooved cleats The main door. located at the end of the building Is of generous proportions, to admit a wheelbarrow or pushcart for cleaning replenishing the litter, and other chores. Experience will prove there Is only in- convenience In a small door.
 If the house Is built on concrete piers or on brick piers. as shown in the dln- gram, the space underneath will be found of value to fowls, and will greatly increase their yard space. It Is m excellent shelter in winter and offers cool retreat In summer.

HEAVY BUSINESS ON MORRIS
 AVENUE DURING LAST WEEK

A heavy business was transacted during last week by Birmingham wholesalers and sales are reported in most instances to have reached a very satisfactory vol ume. Prices are practically unchanged at the week end.
 The flour trade for the past week Is re- ported normal and the feed business was all that was expected. Some 20 or 25 cars of home grown alfalfa and Johnson grass were received and this was readily dis posed of to Birmingham concerns. The brokers quotation on Johnson grass runs between s1l and SIP. while that on Ala bama grown alfalfa Is between s16 and SIT. The quality is said to be excellent, and the product is In good demand.
 The production in this state, however, this season has been so large that several dealers are finding it to their advantase to buy up a good supply and place in storage.
 Fruit and produce receipts are coming up to a high standard, and great quan- titles continue to arrive on the local mar ket. The northern section of the state is now the scene of heavy fruit production and receipts of peaches, apples, poultry, eggs and fancy vegetables are daily grow ing larger.
 Among receipts of produce from Ala bama points yesterday were 10 crates peaches, Gadsden: peaches, Phil Camp bell; a barrel of apples and 20 hampers Hanceville: crates cantaloupes. Athens p crates grapes, Vinemont; crates peaches, Thorsby: 55 peaches, Turnbell; 25 peaches, Phil Campbell; 10 baskets apples, Fort Payne; 9 crates cantaloupes and 5 peaches, Warrior; 4S peaches.

His Excuse
From Baseball.

In his Savannah camp Bill Donovan, baseball manager, had a dusky-hued waiter at the hotel by the name of sut- ton. Bill had to reproach Sutton more than once for lack of agility in ar irving with the food. Sutton promised to improve. One morning he brought in a consignment of griddlecakss that had gone cold.
 What do you mean?" said Bill, "by bringing me in cold cakesT"
 Well, tell you, boss" said Sutton. "I brung them cakes in so fast for you that guess they hit . draft!''

Ends. back wall, roof and solid portions Of the front are of an ordinary grade of sheathing or fencing secured to 2x4 inch studdng and 2x6 inch rafters This material need not necessarily be free from knots, for it is to be covered with prepared roofing A good grade of roofing should be used. the two-ply or medium weight being put on both the roof and side walls. Such use of pre. pared roofing permits of most economical construction Shingle or weather boards will add greatly to the appearance of the house, and also to the expense. but IL Will not increase to any appreciable extent the efficiency of the roofing, which, If of the highest grade, will give many years of service.

 The front wall is solid to a point 24 inches above the floor line. (and then left open for a distance of s6 inches for two curtain frames. These may be hinged at the top and made to swing outward. or they may be portable and secured In place by wooden buttons. The latter method is preferable, inasmueh as the frames are in use for only about four HoHlHs ol lHe year, anu Ht other sen sons may be stored elsewhere for safe keeping. medium weight, unbleached muslin is the proper material for cover ing the frames. as this covering should be porous and permit circulation of fresh air without draught.

POULTRY HOUSE
 FOR FIFTY FOWLS EASY TO BUILD
Fresh Air Without Draughts Provided for in Economi- cal Structure Which Elm bodies Latest Improve ments-Prepared Roofing Used to Cover Top and Sides Makes Use of Cheap est Lumber Possible
By H. ARMSTRONG ROBERTS
 Dro14foat pnp1trVnan

Tn this article Mir Roberts gives plans and directions for constructing an economical. convenient poultry house of the semi-open front or cur tain front type, 14x16 feet, that will accommodate 50 large or TO small fowls This type of house Is used by many of the most successful commer- cial poultry farms, It embodies the latest Improvements and conventenoes that have been approved by practical poultrymen.
 Many who raise poultry appear to think that any shack or derelict out building which has outlfved it's original purpose may be made to prolong its age of usefulness by being converted into a chicken coop. Therefore such t usually is-a coop in every sense of the dictionarys definition: Box or in- closure for small animals, poultry; to to imprison."
 Chickens will live in quarters of this kind. but they will not be contented and comfortable and hence seldom prof itable. It is unreasonable for us to ex- peet good results from a flock Of fowls unless their abode is:
 Comparatively spacious, allowing about five square feet to bird of the Plymouth Rock type and three square feet to a Leghorn.
 Well ventilated and yet free from direct draughts.
 Dry, exposed to sunlight and sanitary
 Evils are sure to result from lack of these clements especially from lack of sanitation. and yet it Is almost impos sible to maintain cleanliness In n shack. The attendant Is usually too cramped to do his work easily and conditions are such that he seldom takes an interest in their improvement.
 There Is no reason why a coop should not be designed and built with sufficient character and attractions to discard the opprobrium associated with coop and earn for itself the dignity of poultry house, or hen house and at the same time not oyertax the build CTS pocketbook.
 Cost of House 14x16 Feet
 The accompanying sketches illustrate type of house, 15x18 feet. that em bodies all the requisite conditions; it is an economical method of constrIc- ton; unobtrustive to the eye, and has a capacity of 50 large fowls, about 70 Leghorns Following is a list of the material required and it's cost. together with an approximate idea of the labor cost, based on a carpenters wage of 50 cents an hour:
