Turn Corner in the
 High Cost of Living

0JIGH Erices have not slumped,
 l U but the turn is in sight. No less an authority than the National Bank of Commerce of New York gives out the cheering information that there is gradual and general movement for the lowering of com- modities.
 'It was not to be expected" says the banks statement, "that the in dustrial community could maintain the high tension under which it had worked during the war years nor was it desirable that feverish prices should be maintained.
 A factor not to be overlooked at the present time is the increasing unemployment. A. few months ago the demand for labor at high wages was increasing. Not so now. In not few districts many men are idle today. This situation will mean ulti- mately fresh building activity at normal wages.
 With building material gradually settling down many concern that has been holding back will go for ward. This change from imitation to moderation may be slow at the start, but a start has been made and it will continue.
 The next movement will be in the lowering of food and clothing prices. Nobody wants to see starvation wages, but if the workmen have saved a considerable part of their pay they will be prepared to meet

Signing Water Power Bill
 Completes Alabama Scheme


 WHEN the President attached WV his signature to the water power bill, what might be termed the "Alabama Scheme" was potentially complete.
 Iron, coal and steel has broadened out into such expanded use of the by-products and such intelligent cul- tivation of the economies of produc- tion that there was no longer any gue.s-work in these fields.
 Alabama had passed through the stages of industrial experimentation With the establishment of steel ship building based on a regular supply of Birmingham steel, the firm fix ture of steel fabrication as a me- chanical and financial success and the increase of the by-product oven to a point that spells the early elimina- ton of all coal waste, coal, iron and steel had come literally into their own
 A great forward step was the high way amendment and the great inter- county permanent highways which the state bond issue and federal aid have m;de possible.
 The Warrior has finally gotten all that was asked. In short time it will be actually complete and per forming its permanent mission for the states welfare.
 The stability of the Alabama coal trade became assured when the gov ernment authorized the Mobile ter mirals for export and bunker coal and imported ores.
 The farms of the state had begun to blossom like the rose. Crop di- versification, tick eradication and CO., operative and intelligent marketing had substituted farm wealth for a mere existence.
 Nothing stood in the way but water power. Now the hands that held that back have been brushed aside. The two hundred and fifty thousand

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Big purchasing OF
Canadian wheat by millers in the Unit
ed States had a good deal to do with
severe break today in wheat values mere

March S2.10& to $2.11A. Corn finished
5la down to X cents advance; oats Off

Selling pressure on the wheat market
here came largely from houses with
northwestern connections, and this tact
appeared to give special emphasis TO word
that further large amounts of Canadian
wheat had been bought to come into the
United States over and above the guam
titles announced yesterday. At the
try was said to have met with check,
