Brake Become New Leaders.
Baldwin New High, 76 IS.

New York, July 22.-Although price
fluctuations were irregular in the
stock market today, conservative in
terests said the market displayed a
steady undertone considering that the
note to Germany was in the course or
transmission and the heavy selling by
professionals. War stocks were the
feature of dealings, several new high
records being recorded, chief among
them being Baldwin Locomotive.
At the opening there was strength,
activity being confined almost entire
ly, however, to the industrialS. The
railroads showed little life. declines
in these issues during the first fifteen
minutes of trading ranging from half
TO nearly a point. During the early
trading several new leaders appeared
in the industrial group. among them
being General Electric and New York
Air Brake
Slight Rise at Close.
The encountering of proft-takins or
ders in the second hour resulted in
reactions and declines of from one
half to more than a point. Shortly
after l o'clock the war stocks, under
leadership of Baldwin Locomotive.
which rose to the new high record OF
IS rs, displayed renewed vigor, but
this was only short lived, for before
y
tone developed, due to professional
selling, that resulted in a general re-
action that continued up until the last
fifteen minutes of business. when there
was a slight fractional recovery from
the low.
Railroad shares failed to show any
signs of strength Notwithstanding
that the Baltimore and Ohio earnings
for June showed an increase in net
of s1.71S.944 and S3.l29,6 6S for the
year ended June 80.
Competition to Blame.
Baltimore and Ohio stocks. however,
made a good showing. there being at
one time a gain Of more than 3 points.
In explaining the heaviness of the
railroads, investment bankers say
their securities are in competition
with the investment issues of colonial
and English CorsOls On a basis of
from to 41-2 per cent these great
issues. they say. will be preferred by
the English. particularly at a time

WHITE STREAMER" DAY|Nb|RM1NGHAM
 WILL BE THURSDAY
Contributions of Every Ma. ture Will Be Collected
 for the City's Poor

Mrs. J. B. Reid. chairman of the emergency relief committee in charge of "relief day" for the poor of Bir- ming ham. and Vice Chairman Mrs. c. r Orr yesterday issued the following:
 "Next Thursday, January e1. has been set aside as white streamer day" in Birmingham and every effort IS be- ing made by the relief committees re- gently organized for immediate charity service to make 1t memorable Ill the phlanthropic history of the city. Bir- mingham has in the past dispensed most generous and bountiful charities through the medium of various organ izations, religious and secular. and at Inc present time Is bending every en- crgy to supply the needs of the poor of the city.
 "rhe demands upon the charitable organizations already in active oper- aticn have become so constant and overwhelming that 1t is recognized as an imperative necessity by all observ- ant and philanthropic citizens that ad- dltional relief be offered in order 10 immediately provide for the men, wom- en and children who are absolutely de- IeuueHl upOll the hiHuiy OliiceS OI tue more fortunate.
 Contributions are requested by the VI omen in charge of the relief com mittee of almost every class and grade clothing, bedding, second hand stoves. groceries, shoes quilt pieces etc. All contributions will be collected under the direction of the officers of the re- lief committee on next Thursday and every home willing to contribute to the great work will be marked with q " hite streamer In the olden days the marking of the lintels of the homes of the ancient Hebrews told It's story of the faith of the household in the God of Israel, and the angel of destruc- peace and hope within. Now, in this later time, the white streamer will he substituted for the crimson masks. The spirit of faith and the love of human ity will be exemplified in every White streamer that shall float on Thur sday from the homes of Birmingham. Every streamer will tell It's own story of Christian charity and every story will arise, like incense, to the great white throne, shedding it's fragrance unto the uttermost parts of our great bustling city.
 |" The poor ye have always with you. and To one can doubt that there shall be represented next Thursday in the pure white streamers, angels of mercy whose minstrations will tighten the burden and despair of their brethren in Ieed.'

SHOWN BY COLLECTION OF TyL|CENSE MONEY BOggan Says He Has Seen "MOre Real Gold" Than
 During All of Last
 Year

Probably there could be given no better Indication that Birmingham is almost, if not altogether, recovered from the busi- ness depression which has prevailed for the past few months. than a statement made by City License Collector James Boggan yesterday to the effect that all ready more license money has been paid into his office for 1915 than was paid during the entire first six months of last year.
 T believe my office has taken in more money in the first two weeks of this year than in any six months before in the history of the city, said Mir. Bog gan ''I have had more actual gold money passed over the counter to me since Jan uary l than I saw all during the entire F months of 1914. The way merchants and business men are paying their 1915 licenses is simply amazing"
 MT. Boggan could give no estimate of receipts for the year 1915 which he had received in the past two weeks, stat ing that it would entail much work to go through his books and arrive at an estimate accurate enough to be used. He stated, however, that he was sure of what he said, just from daily contact with the business of his office.
