Weather Predictions

Showers probably late tonight
and Thursday; warmer tonight.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-06

ooked-for catastrophe occurs the ten dency is likely to be upward as money grows easier until a large speculative interest has been built up and the shear ing season comes again, as come it will.
 In the retail markets a better demand from consumers is noticeable, and it is said that in some of the department stores of New York and Chicago Au- gust sales exceeded last year. There is. however, some complaint that the ulti- mate consumer is not getting the bene- fit of the decline in wholesale prices, which is probably true, and will continue to be true as long as American shippers are willing to pay what is asked and do not insist upon prices that are just and fair,
 Bank clearings as compiled by Brad streets show an increase of 25.2 per cent over last year. Despite the fact that the corresponding week in 1919 included q holiday this figure indicates a very large increase in the value of the goods chang ing hands. This is the more remarkable when it is considered that many impor- tant staples, including cotton, sugar, cof- fee, leather, silk, wool and rubber, are substantially lower than last year.
 But a picture without shadows would be untrue to nature and one of these is the continued decline in cotton and the inelancholia with which the wholesale dry goods trade appears to be afflicted The latter, which now seems to be some what hysterical. has been slightly les sened by the announcement that the American Woolen Company's mills will start again with an unchanged wage scale on September 13.
 SERIOUS DROP IN COTTON
 The drop in cotton is however, se- rious matter to a large section of the country and unless there is a recovery to somewhere near the price that had been generally expected, a somewhat painful readjustment of expenditure to income will be necessary in the south. Meantime it is reported that the farm CTS are organizing to hold their cotton. and late crop is entering upon the most hazardous period of it's develop ment in the course of which a yield now estimated at 127S9,O0O bales may be seriously reduced. It is the future, not the present, by which the cotton market is swayed, and it may we'll be that the recent improvement in the crop outlook is too good to be true.
 Another shadow in the picture is the decline in sugar, which though it may seem like sunshine to those who can now buy "granulated" in 100-pound lots at II cents in one New York department storei means very heavy loss to some of the big refiners whose recent profits have been very seriously depleted by the drop.
 The depression in the fur market al- uded to last week is another shadow that will not sadden the "better half'' or

thought lat there was no greater fun than hu eg and trying to kill the lit tie peep pf the Green Forest and he had bee, g really acquainted with them and earned that they have just such feelings as he himself and suffer from fright and pain exactly as we human folk do. Just as soon as he dis covered his Farmer Browns boy no longer wanted to hurt these little peo- pie. Instead he wanted to be their best friend, and soon found that there was far more and better fun in trying to get acquainted with them than in hunt ing them.
 But Browser the Hound couldn't un- derstand this. So he wagged his tail and all the time wondered what was the matter with his master Farmer Browns boy kne1t down and pulled away the stones until he could reach in and pick up that frightened little Rab- bit. He picked him up Very gently. But the little Rabbit was too frighten- ed to notice this He closed >his eyes and waited for the next terrible thing to happen. He was quite without hope. He was caught by terrible giant and he hadn't the least doubt that he would be killed. He was helpless and hope less.

The arrival of this gold will swell the reserves of the federal reserve bank, in crease their lending power and make 1t easier to obtain credit, the lack of which, as all along pointed out has been chiefly responsible for the repression of bus- ness-it should not be called depresson- that has been complained of for the last two or three months.
 The expected arrival of this gold, cou- pied with the statement that there are already indca tions that the transition period is nearing a halt and that an inn provement in the general situation is in sight made by the federal reserve board in it's monthly review has inspired the hope that the summer of our discomfort is soon to be succeeded by the revival of activity that is warranted by every condition except the shortage of credit. There are some who read between the lines of the federal reserve board review an intimation of a change of heart and policy but be this as it may, more cheerful feeling is indubitaly evident in many directions. The semi-annual report of the Chamber of Commerce Of the United States says that business is fighting itself, the monthly review of the National City Bank is affirmatively optimistic, and the commercial news that comes from the grain belt is confidently cheerful.
