FIRE MARSHALL PROVIDED

Montgomery, August 5-(Special)- l)-Crea- tion of the department of fire marshal, now part of the insurance department, is provided for in a bill introduced in the house Tuesday afternoon by Repre- sentative Sparks. of Barbour county, and in the senate by Senator Briscoe. The purpose of the bill is to protect life and property and conserve the vast re- sources of the state from a most haz- ardous evil-that of fire" The measure was referred to the committee on bank ing and insurance, where speedy action is expected.
 The losses by fire in Alabama for the year 1917 we're over three millions Of dollars. The origin of the majority. 1t is said was traceable to carelessness. The author of the bill claims that the fire loss will be considerably decreased and that eventually the fire insurance premiums, too, will be less. Under the bill, the staff of the department will keep constantly in touch with civic bod ies and the general public, with the idea. of cooperating for the purpose of cut ting down the fire loss.
 There will be additional expendi- tUre for the department by the state, it being made to be self-sustaining.

Messrs John E. Clark & Co. wire us as follows:
 The market opened about 50 points down and seemed inclined to steadineSs. but sharp breaks appeared and gave rise to selling, which, in the absence of con certed support caused a quick decline to nearly the limit of 200 points. October trading to 3050 and December to 3o.45 Or, the first quieter moment, when opin- ion was less dominated by fear of bear ish control, the desire to buy became dominant and the market responded with ease, advancing 100 points The liz qudation has ben drastic, and the tech- nicak position of the market strengthened.
 Spot cotton has been withdrawn from the market on the decline and buyers are able to get but. limited amount; middling today 75 down at SL75; sales 534 bales.

s'There is best way to do everything said Emerson. He might with equal truth have said, There is best time to buy every thing"
 The best time to buy furniture, is now when the August sales of the big furniture stores and departments are in full swing.
 Like most good things the August furni- ture sale didn't just happen It is an out growth of trade conditions. "There's req son'--several of them to be exact.
 In July the furniture dealer does his buy ing for the fall and winter. He generally wants the goods as soon as the factory can ship them, so the next important step is to find room for them. Furniture takes space lots of it-and space is valuable.
 That's reason No for the semi-annual furniture sale.
 Present incumbents' on the dealers crowded floors must move out, so that the newcomers for Fall can move in In this moving stunt, there's one argument that never fais-REDUCED PRICE. And it's what makes the furniture store such an attractive place about now.

Chicago. August 5. Semi panic CTS of grain and provisions. The cause was fright as to market effects of possible sudden sweeping action at Washington toward putting wheat into the hands of consumers at a price far below what the government has guar anteed to pay the farmers.

Oats lost Ac to A c and provisions all the way from t5e to s350
 Strain in the corn market went be- yond the limit of endurance when near the end of business hours the atten- ton of traders necessarily became cen- tered almost altogether on the chance that the conference announced to take place between President Wilson and Federal Wheat Director Julius Barnes this evening might result in a radical change of the policy which it had been generally assumed that the gov ernment would follow as to the dis posal of the 1919 domestic wheat crt D. Until after midday the majority of dealers had clung to the opinion that recent drastic setbacks in the price of corn had sufficiently discounted for the present the influence of the agiJ1- tion against high cost of living. How ever, the contingency in regard to wheat had been looked on as rem ote Then came signs that this view was perhaps a mistake and simultaneously the fact was disclosed that the market was almost bare of orders to buy Liquidation and short selling then ran wild, but something of rally came in the end, mainly through profit taking on the part of bear speculators

 New Orleans August 5. There was continuation of liquidation resulting in lower market this morn ing but offerings were well aosoroed' to such a nextent that pronounced re- action took place.
 It is likely that the lower prices Will be reflected in a better demand Tor spots, some improvement being noted In early marketing reports
 In reviewing the situation this year poor crop prospects are not to be over looked, nor are indications for much larger consumption by the world tnis season to be lost sight Of.
 The growing plant is reported to be poorly fruited. sappy, and shallow root ed and as short tap roots are bad Tor the future of the crop in the event Of permanently hot, dry, wet weather, rap i'd additional deterioration is likely to re- suit.
 That the demand for raw cotton is likely to gradually increase and become urgent eventually is denoted by the fact that American mills stocks at the close of July were 169, 900 bales vs. 13l5.0OO bales last year. while European mill stocks were only 2S5,00O whereas in 1914 they were 1,5000 600 and were as much as l,SU,- 900 in 1912.
 If cotton is not interfered with by
