DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, May 14.-Duns to.
morrow will say:
The business developments of re-
cent weeks have not been unexpect-
ed, indications of impending eco
monte readjustment having some
time ago made themselves manifest
and the tendency toward lower
commodity prices, if attended by
some degree of unsettlement,
marks more wholesome aspect.
Abatement of the notable CONNER
cial activity of previous months has
been fastened by the serious con-
gestion in transportation and by
the backward season. but slacken-
ing of demands in many quarters
is mainly the outgrowth of con-
sumers' increasing resistance to
high prices, and their greater dis
elimination in buying. Financial
phases, moreover, are contribute
ing factor in the movement toward
price reaction, the pressure of
credit contraction and the OPPOSE
ton to speculative excuses influ-
ence different interests and there
is more Of the spirit of conservat-
ism and caution present than has
been witnessed in long period.

leading railway officials that there
was little prospect of better rail-
way traffic conditions, and that
grain prices therefore would re-
main high. 1t was argued that the
difficulties of the movement of
corn to terminal markets would be
fully as great in July as at present,
and that the buying side of the
market continued to be the logical
one. Besides, in connection with
urgent calls for breadstuffs, esti-
mates were current that 1000, 900
bushels of wheat had been bought
for Europe within twenty-four
hours and that flour was also be-
ing keenly sought for trans-At-
lantic use.

absence of any special opposition.

 Why was the basket cut away IS tne question asked. If it was cut away mer- ely to tighten the load and enable the Navy balloon to continue that much longer in the flight, was there no viola tion of any rule or statute of the pal loon gar,e? The basket, which in rms case is said to have contained over two thousand dollars worth of instruments and aeronautical supplies, is regarded, py laymen at least, as being an integra' part of a properly equipped balloon If it is cast adrift voluntarily. ana simply because it's weight and bulk are impeding the velocity or diminishing the buoyancy of the balloon. is that balloon in the event 1t gets home among the first three, to be treated winner?

WILL ASK REMEDY FOR AUTO MENACE Civic Association to Urge More Policemen for City
 at Once

The Civic Association Is alarmed over the number and increasing frequency of automobile accidents in Birming- ham. At a meeting of the board of directors yesterday at 1 o'clock in the cafe of the association members of the board voted to have a committee appointed to see what can be done to reduce the number of accidents and regulate the traffic in the city.
 The special duty of this commit tee shall be to cooperate with city officials in taking special measures to stop speeding and reckless driving.
 We intend to do everything pos sible to arouse the individual to a sense of responsibility. for the public safety as well as his own," said Charles l.. Harold, secretary manager of the association. We believe that by bringing their duty home to the people we will be of great service in the enforcement of the law. There is no excuse for people who are sensible and law abiding in every other respect, falling to see the necessity of having regard for the rights of others
 "The committee will ask for An in- creased police force and a more stern enforcement of the traffic laws which have already been made for the city.
 That Birmingham has an inade- quate motorcycle police force is be- lieved by members of the association.

 Officers of the College Alumni Ass citation have been active during the paA Y few days ascertaining the views of Ioi < mer students of Howard College on tn si question and it is stated by Thomas fs Huey. president of the Alumni 4Asso q citation, and -t Lee Smith, secre- tary and treasur,. at the alumni are practically unanimoe~ opposed to the removal of the college.
 It will be remembered that Howard College was moved to East Lake from Marion, Ala, about thirty-three years ago. This caused considerable contro - versy among the Baptists of the ate at that time and 1t is stated it required more than quarter of century of time to establish feeling of reconciliation in the denomination.
 Local trustees and officers of tho alumni are very hopeful that the mat ter of again moving the college Is closed, since it is believed that ma : jority of the membership of the board of trustees are opposed to the plans of Dr. Williams.
 On the other hand, if the trustees should allow the matter to be decided by the State Baptist Convention, which will be held at Decatur, Ala, on the sixteenth of November, an iinteresting fight promises to develop.

 The plans were looked on with little seriousness, it is stated, until the ex- ecutive committee of the board of rus tees granted to D. Williams the light to secure an option on the tract of land, which consists approximately of 120 acres. Since that time, members of the alumni say, President Williams has prosecuted his ideas with considera- ble zeal and vigor.
 A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the college trustees was aeld yesterday in the rooms of the Civic As sociation at which time it developed that there was to be much opposition to the removal of the college from Ia st Lake.
 The college Is governed by twenty Iseven trustees, who are selected at the Alabama State Baptist Convention twelve of these trustees reside in Bir- mingham. It became known yesterday that nine of the twelve local members of the board of trustees signed the tol- lowing statement:
