Heavy Trade in Citric Acid

Unusual demands for citric acid that
have developed are attributed to pro-
hibition and the great amount of sick
ness In this country and abroad. Sales
are reported at SO cents by manufact-
ures and S1.10 by second hands. 1t
was stated that the heavy buying sea-
son for citric acid is usually over hv
this time. but the large increase In
the use Of soda water since prohibi.
ton went into effect haa stimulates
buying. by soft drink men. The drug
trade Is also taking larger quantities
than usual.

Rubber
RuDDer
Crude Rubber Price!
Again Firmer, but
Trade Is Light

Prices for crude rubber, both the
natural product from Brazil and that
obtained from the Far East, advanced
yesterday one-Kalf to one cent a
pound. The rise in the plantation
rubbers was attributed to the inability
of the buyers here to obtain sterling
exchange for future use at the rates
now prevailing for the English pound.
Most of the business, which was of
light volume, represented transactions
between dealers.
Some Of the dealers in automobile
tires profess to believe that the sales
of rebuilt tires have become so large
that the leading manufacturers Of the
new stock will be forced to reduce
prices. Other dealers concede that
the large manufacturers are not likely
to lower their prices now that export
trade has so greatly expanded.

MT. Painter, nonmember, was In Sucn great authority that he not only made certain arrangements for the affair, but invited certain of the guests.
 THAT SATURDAY DINNER
 One gentleman, who on receiving an invitation by telephone, demurred in a desperate fight for time, was assured that he would be welcomed as his name had been suggested by MT. Musgrove.
 Another gentleman, invited by Mir. Painter, a nonmember. paused to scent the "nigger in the woodpile." and as result of indirect conversation, scented him beyond peradventure. Whereupon he remembered a pressing engagement which made his attendance impossible.
 It is reported that so few of those called responded, and so similar was the political appearance of each, that hall boys were rushed into the by-ways to land those to whom good and free dinner would appeal. In consequence, one or more. having indulged. whis- pered that their plight was not unlike that of Old Dog Tray who, according to the fable, was seduced from the straight and narrow, and suffered ter riblv in consequence.
 THE PERPLEXING PROBLEM
 So Musgrove, with the assistance of Painter and Lawrence, busily prepares.
 In a communication of some weeks ago. Dr. Lawrence warned other aspi- rants to get out of the way for the heavy man from Jasper.
 As to whether or not they will obey, remains to be seen.
 If they leave the field to Musgrove, no one could be found so hypercritical as to make complaint
 If they permit others to divide their strength-why that would DC horri- ble catastrophe!
 And that's all there is to 1t.

61J HERE is a very interesting con-
 flict in the statements of those = purporting to publish what transpired in Gadsden when Phil Paint CT of Birmingham, L. B. Musgrove of Jasper, Edgar Clarkson of Tuscaloosa, and the Rev. Brooks Lawrence, citizen- at-large, gathered about the magnetic person of Captain Hobson.
 Mir. Painter volunteered the infor- nation that the meeting occurred, that the session endured" from 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the morning, that the con- versation veered to politics, and that Captain Hobson offered to speak for Musgrove when that gentleman initi- ates an active campaign for the Sem ate.
 Dr. Lawrence, on the other hand, is quoted as having said that he did not hear discussion of politics. He inti- mated that Hobson could not have of fered to speak for Musgrove because Hobson's time is the property of the 'Anti-Saloon league. subject to the will of that organization.
 THE SPARROW'S PLIGHT
 If 1t were possible for a sparrow to circumscribe the flight of an eagle the Anti-Saloon league might be able to tell man of the independence of Hob son what he shall do and shall not do.
 But as the sparrow generally seeks the cover of convenient caves when the shadow of the eagles wing falls sud- denly to fright his soul, the Anti-So- loon league, likewise. would run to cover were it's main attraction to pre- pare an independent course.
 Therefore, it is exceedingly proba ble

SOUTH AMERICANS
 ARE VISITING HERE
Bx HOLLAND

New York, April 24.-(Special. l.)-Al- most every one of the South American nations is now represented in this country either officially or by their leaders in industry and finance. They have come to the United States for the purpose of enlarging international trade. and it is suspected with a view of transferring to the United States much of the trade, which the South American countries had before the mid summer of 1914 with Germany ana Great Britain and France.
 Chili has gone so far to cause com- mission of three of it's ablest states men to be sent to the United States. This commission is now in New York. It has come not only for the purpose of assuring our own people or the friendly interest which Chilli now feels towards this country but also, and per haps chiefly, for the purpose of estab- fishing important commercial relations with the United States.

Sixty-five per cent of the exports from Bolivia in 1916, 1917 and 1918. were with the United States, whereas prior to the European war the per centage of such exports was trivial.
 THE MONROE DOCTRINE
 Throughout South America there has been a change of view respecting the attitude of the United States towards the southern continent Formerly good deal of suspicion respecting the good faith of the United States pre- vailed. Our attitude towards independ ent Cuba tended to alay that suspi cion and the visits of Elihu Root and John Bassett Moore with others to South America a few years ago, to- gether with the experience which the South American nations have had in tablishing mutual trade relations with the United States have served all most completely to eliminate that sus- picion.
 Whatever Europe does in the way of increasing purchases in the Ameri- can markets for few years after the treaty of peace is signed is likely to be temporary. Our stupendous export trade to Europe may last 10 years or more but it is sure gradually to be diminished But satisfactory trade re- lations established with South Ameri- ca whose raw materials and other prod ucts are so much needed in the United States are likely to be permanent. in- creasing each year until at last it is recognized that our two great mar kets are those of Canada upon the north and Central and South America upon the south. Satisfactory commer- cial and financial relations will serve to establish, so to speak. an American society of nations behind which will stand the protecting authority or in- fluence which is known as the Monroe doctrine.

 AN ELECTRICAL EFFECT
 Political gossip has it that MT. Mus grove, who despite the report of his famous positive declaration in Colum- bus, O., has never unequivocally af- iirmed in Alabama that he will make the race against Senator Underwood, returned from Gadsden considera bly, stimulated, energized, and emboldened-
 It was stated by one of those par ticipating in the famous conference that "Ole Breck is going to see the thing through It is 10 be deduced in con- sequence, that in the conference, MT. Musgrove was not only given assurance of the support of Captain Hobson. moral and physical but was led to believe that he could win.
 It is reasonable to suppose that Cap tain Hobson would enjoy the campaign. He owes much to MT. Musgrove, in the first place, and in the second place, he would probably find an alluring sweet ness in repeating his vitriolic criticism of Senator Underwood and his conduct in the halls of Congress.
 PREPARING THE WAY
 Irrespective of MT. Musgrove's future course, there is certainly no doubt but that, in his inimitably subtle and per fectly transparent manner, he IS pre- pairing the way"
 The meeting with Hobson was a straw in the wind. Another was that famous Saturday night dinner when in the name of God and the flag, willy poli- ticians got together to criticise Senator Underwood regarding subject of which they knew nothing.
 While we have the word of John K. Hornady that he, as chairman or League of Nations committee, which sprang from where no man knows.
