SPY DETECTED BY A
 WELL KNOWN WRITER
Suspicious Aroused When "Englishman" Wouldn't
 Talk English

Paris, March 6.-(Special. )--Madame Ma rie-Anne de Bovet, in time of peace a well-known authoress. and Ma-quise d. Rois- Herbert, now acting as nurse in a hospital not so many leagues from Paris, very cleverly spotted spy some days ago. A man in a British officers uni- form. driving big motor car flying the British flag asked Madame de Bovet for certain information, which did not appear to have any very definite connection with the Red Cross work in which he pro- fessed to be engaged. The so-distant officer spoke excellent French, but Mad anne de Boyet who knows our language well. found it quite impossible to get a word of English out of him. This strange dislnclination to speak what was presum- ably his own language increased Mad anne de Bovet's suspicious. Not only did she refuse to give him the information asked for. but she discreetly warned the authorities to keep an eye on her sus- peet. A few days later she learned, to her very legitimate satisfaction, that her man had been arrested in quite a diff ferent and distant district on certain very grave suspicious.

ACTIVITY SHOWN IN
 STRUCTURAL WORK
The Railroads Are Placing Orders With Steel
 Companies

New York, March 7.-Increased ac- tivity in structural work marked the steel trade last week. Contracts closed called for nearly 43,0OO tons of fab ricated steel including 13.O00 tons fol the New York city elevated railroad extension, 5000 tons for the Columbia river highway bridge and 9500 tons for the Clark street viaduct at Cleve- land, o.
 The railroads bought about 6o,0ot tons more rails, including 20,000 tons for the Northern Pacific, 20,000 tons for the Illinois Central-the latter to be rolled in Canada-6000 tons Cor the Burlington, 10000 tons more for the New York Central system, 250o tons additional for the Great Northern, 2O00 tons more for the Pennsylvania, 1500 tons for the International Great North ern and 5000 tons light sections for Russia
 Specifications against contracts were larger and as result the United States Steel corporation increased the output of ingots to nearly 69 per cent of to- tai capacity. Orders booked by the sub o'0iuiS eoihpdhieS III 1T cpi odi Wtfc larger than previously reported and in consequence it is indicated that un- filled orders increased about 250, ,000 tons last month.
 The American Steel and Wire com pany advanced extras on galvanized wire products Sg per ton. Although bars, plates, shapes and bands were advanced $l per ton to S1.15, base Pittsburg, March 1, prices on plates and shapes are not being maintained The export trade continued satisfac- tory; some large and many small or ders were placed.

 Last year the meeting was held in Selma. and it was stated at Saturday nights meeting that Anniston would have to go seme'' if she offered better en- tertajnment than did the residents of Selma. However, an Annistonian, who was present last night, said that Anns- ton not only would Ego some," but that she would show the U. c.

 Anniston has got her back up.

PEACE TALK SENDS
 COTTON PRICES UP
Close of Week Showed Net Gain of About 40
 Points

New Orleans, March 7-Peaoe talk played an important part in the col . ton market last week, sending prices Up when the market appeared to be under bearish control and about 10 go
 into a marked decline under the in- fluence of the stand the European all
 lies made toward imports by Germany
 and the almost prohibitive insurance rates. On Tuesday prices were 1 10 II points under last weeks close but d ouick recovery from this level was made the high levels being made on the last session of the week. The close was at net gain of 40 to 42 points.
 Exports for the week were large, de- spite the restrictions on shipping and amounted to 354,615 bales which com pared with 6s7,O0O bales for the entire month of March last year. The effect of these figures was intensified by re- ports of large spot short interest in Texas.
 Preparations for planting we're watched with great interest.
 This week the situation abroad is bound to play a prominent part n the cotton market. Toward the end of last
 week 1t was rumored that the allies
 were about to give up their deter .
 imitation to regard cotton as contra band of war. Any such official an nouncement would of course, be fol- lowed by stronger market as 1t Soule point to an uninterrupted export move ment. So far as can be seen now how ever, high insurance rates are so ng to be a factor to be reckoned with. The new crop is beginning to loom up as Q strong influence because of 1 the signs of a material cut in acre. l 2 ge. Any evidence that comes to light | to confirm these signs will have a 1 strengthening effect on the market particularly on the fall months, al ! though bears are pointing out thai l the fall months already are at a con- l siderable premium over the summet | months, whereas they usually stand at 6 discount.

Coxe Says Collections Tn Alabama
 Are Showing Marked Improvement
Bristol Wholesaler Conditions Very
 ImprovedTnks Crop Dverscaon Movement of Things Ever SaredSay Alabama Farmers Should Feed Her People
yvy, H. COKE of Bristol, Tenn,

WI H. COKE of Bristol, Tenn. M was a visitor to Birming W ham Saturday and wal registered at the Morris. MT. Coxe was optimistic as to general conditions and said that in Alabama, especially did he expect to see an improvement in business; in fact, an improvement already is to be noticed. MT. Coxe Is president of the Coxe Hat company at Bristol; president of the King Clothing company at Knoxville and is largely interested in several wholesale concerns that send salesmen in this territory from Bristol.
 He said that the collections with his company in Alabama were show ing a marked improvement and eom- mended most heartily the crop diver sffication movement. MT. Coxe said thnt this was one sure method of stabil- izing credits in the south and thnt it would mean more for the states that adopted it than any other thing.
 ''The main trouble with the south,' he said. and what is really, in meas- ure, responsible for the condition of some months past, is the fact that the people here have been long accus- toned to longtime credits The con sumer expects it from his merchant and the merchant, in turn, expects 1t from the jobber and manufacturer. This makes it harder for manufactur- to cau ona1S in the QDl1th profitable basis.
 However, our collections in Alabama have shown marked improvement within the past three weeks and we expect to see an improvement in busi- ness
 ''The crop diversifcation movement is the greatest possible thing that has yet happened to the south. There is no reason why Alabama should not grow enough grain to put bread in the mouths of it's people; this state also should grow cattle in sufficient quan- tity to supply it's people with meat. For trucking, Alabama can't be beat by any state in the union. so far as the quality of the land is concerned. It's people must awake to their oppor- tunities. And, I am glad to note, that movement to educate crop diversif- cation is well under way and is &C., complaining good.
 No matter what it Costs the civic bodies to start and keep going such movement, it will come back to them tenfold in dividends of untold wealth and happiness added to the state and it's people through their instrument tality.
 Meat is destined to become a lux ury within the next few years. No less sn authority than J. Ogden Ar n.our has made this statement. Ala bama can grow cattle with more profit than Texas In Texas it is necessary to feed cattle five months in the year because of the lack of rain in most sections of the state In Alabama it i. is only nece essary to feed a herd dur ing January and February.

Myron Nussbaum of Chicago. who trav- els for the Chicago Supply company. drffted into Birmingham Saturday morn- ing chock fun of optimism, automobile accessNry talk and happiness. MT. Nuss- baum said he had encountered all sorts of good sentiment, and said that he be- lieved business was on the upgrade very decidedly.
 Collections, he said, are improving right along, and it was has opinion that the south was in fairly good condition, every thing considered, and that business here soon would be along toward normal again in the immediate future
 Business is the best ever" declared "Nutzbaum,' as a friend called him shape. and all the talk I hear is trendfng shape and al the talk I hear is trending Upward. Merchants are giving larger orders than they did last fall and the in dications seem to point to business at normal soon.9
