1.-THE newspapers and trade journals
convey the impression that the European
war Is the dominating influence now con-
trolling all price changes in commodities.
1t is true that the retail food prices in
creased greatly Immediately after the out
break of the war and it seems probable
that they have been maintained at a
higher level ever since as result of the
increased demand abroad for foodstuffs.
Local and seasonal conditions, now
ever, and not the extraordinary exigen-
cies, brought about by the war have been
factors. The elimination of beet sugar
coming from Germany, Austria and Rus
STA, has kept sugar prices higher While
flour did not jump so spectacularly as
sugar. the cutting down of the area de-
voted to wheat growing in western Eu-
rope, and the cutting off Of Russian
wheat from western Europe resulting
from the war, have so increased the de-
mand for American wheat and flour that
flour prices have advanced even more
than sugar prices"

COMMISSION WORKS
ON BUDGET SYSTEM
After Lengthy Session Yes
terday President Ward
Says Short $4,000

An executive session lasting more than
three hours was held by the commission
yesterday afternoon The budget for the
coming year, which begins october 81,
was under discussion. Commissioner
Ward said at the conclusion Of the meet.
ing that the city lacked approximately
sSO,e00 to make ends meet
The distribution of the city money for
the various departments by the budget
plan will he the main topic of discussion
for several days to come. With this
years expenditures approximately $685.
900 more than last and with the decrease
of 1921, 900 in revenue caused by the in
junction restraining the city from paw
ing interest on bonds issued after 1901
out of the sinking fund, the problem of
the city commission in arranging a
budget to take care of the immediate
needs is said to be serious one
The charge of an incidental fee for all
school children will bring approximately
$50, 900 in revenue to the city, which will
be expended for the maintenance of the
public school system, The street tax of
$3.50 from now until January, and IS for
the year of 1917, is expected to net the
city approximately 100000.
The increased cost in the operation of
the police and detective departments on
account of the unusual activity of the
detective force in the suppression of
blind tigers is said to be considerable.
The cost of maintaining informers, pur-
chasing liquor to be used as evidence
and other expenses pertaining to the sup
preston of this traffic is heavy.
The adoption of the health recon-
mendations of DR.. L. l.. Lumsden and Dr.
Carroll Fox, government experts, who
aided in suppressing the recent typhoid
epidemic, will necesstate an additional
expenditure of thousands of dollars.
Tax measures and extraordinary ordi-
nances designed for the raising of reve-
nue. will no doubt have to be passed In
order to make up the deficit Just what
these measures will be no one seems
to know. 1t is probable that some of
the departments may be cut still deeper,
thereby reducing the operating cost of
the city, ALTHOUGH imparing its efficiency.

WEEKLY MEETING Of
COMMISSION QUE 7.
Perfect Harmony Prevails
and Members of Board
Pass No Criticism

The regular weekly meeting OF the city
commission yesterday afternoon was a
tame affair. There were no arguments.
no aspersions cast by one commissioner
upon the conduct of another's depart
ment. and everything moved Off smoothly.
Commissioner Wards prediction few
weeks ago that in the future there would
be less agitation and more harmony
among the commissioners seems to have
come true. Only a few minutes We're
consumed at the regular afternoon meet
ing and only routine business was trans
acted The morning conference was I'M
usually quiet, nothing of great import
ance coming up for discussion.
The bid of J. E. Bostick for the con-
struction of a new fire station at Five
Points was approved. Mr.. Bostick's bid
was 1888. Ten bids we're handed in. The
highest was s11,650 Mr.. Bostick was
the lowest bidder. Work on the new FIRE
station will be started at once.
Commissioner Weatherlys agitation in
regard to the stringent methods required
by Commissioner Barber in the matter
of making appeal bonds died a peaceful
death when Mr.. Weatherly arose In the
morning conference and apologized TO
Mr.. Barber for taking issue with him.
Mr.. Weatherly admitted the present sys-
TEN was the best that had been in use
for years.
And so the dove of peace tapped It's
wings loudly as the five city fathers adj
journed to attend to the affairs of their
various departments.

TROOPS ORDERED TO.
BORDER EARLY NEXT.
MONTH, SAYS COWAN
Local Lieutenant Says Gen
eral Bricken Authorized
Statement That Orders
Have Been Received

The four thousand Alabama guards
between October 8 and 10, according
to Sid Cowan. lieutenant of Company B.
Gen. c. R. Bricken, commander OF
the Alabama troops, has authorized
the announcement. Lieutenant Cowan
stated last night Winter clothing has
been distributed. and the guardsmen
of the state are ready for the move
ment.
Gen. c. r. Bricken has authorized me
to give out the announcement that the
Alabama troops will leave the mobil-
ization camp at Montgomery some
time between October and 10,' Lieu
tenant Cowan said last night. "He said
that money had been appropriated to
pay the soldiers before their departure
for the border and that everything
was ready for the anticipated move
ment inasmuch as the troops have
been in review and are now equipped
with clothing suitable for winter
wear.
Birmingham and the suburbs will
contribute about 500 of their youths
to the number that is Texas bound. AS
the commanders have adopted lib
eral policy in the granting of fur
loughs, it will be possible for almost
every guardsman to bid his family and
friends adieu before leaving for Texas.
A vast number of men will leave camp
Sunday on grants of leave for such
purposes.
In the review before Governor
Henderson the troops made splendid
showing. AS the consequence of the
months of training at Montgomery, the
boys should be able to stand the gaft
in Texas splendidly. They are anxious
to begin the movement to the border,
after being in camp since June"
The Alabama guard consits of three
companies. two batteries and an am
bulance and signal corps.
Lieutenant Cowan stated that he did
not know whether or not the cavalry
regiment would go along with the
general movement of the troops.
