B. A. [. QUINTET 10
 MEET CHATTANOOGA
 1R|ANGLES TONIGHT.
Fiercest Battle of Year Is Expected-Interest High.
 Floyd and Baker Out
Ry MARVIN M,CARTHY

With the interest of local fans
 aroused to fever pitch. and with
 the two teams waiting and ready
 for the game. the battle between
 the Birmingham Athletic Club quin-
 tet and the Chattanooga TriRngIes
 tonight bids fair to he a red-hot
 thriller from start to finIsh~ Never
 has n cage contest caused so much
 furry In Birmingham.
 The Clubsters have been hitting a mile a minute clip lately, and have men are in splendid trim for the clash tonight and are eager for the fray to begin.
 The Triangles were picked by Man borne down all opposition. Hutselrs ager McEachin to afford a practice game for the locals However, if re- ports and showings already made this season count for anything, the Clubbers will have the battle of their lives. and not & mere workout tonight.
 The Triangles have long list of vic tories behind them. and the scalp string includes the que of many a formidable aggregation The Chattanooga outfit ~ill probably put up the strongest fight registered against the locals this sea son.
 Coach Hutsell said yesterday that al thought his squad seemed rather tame in Mondays practice, on the whole the outlook is very bright. He is not over confident however, but believes that his boys can hold up their end of the argument tonight.
 The Birmingham Athletic Club squad has lost the services of one of the most promising forwards out this season, in the parsonage of Red" Floyd. Red" formerly starred with the Auburn var season. as he has just rounded into trim for battle, and had been in only one or two games this season.
 Floyd was forced to quit the squad in order to undergo an operation. It is thought that he will not be able to get back into the tgahe this season.
 Red" was terror on long and diff ficult shotsr and had he been able to stick with the team a little longer, would undoubtedly have made whirl- wind showing. His loss will hurt the club team not little, as he was one of the most promising sub-forwards out.
 Hobo" Baker is also temporarily out of the game. Hobo" has been off his feed for some time. He was just get ting back into trim when he was taken with touch of ptomaine poison Mon day. Hutsell has hopes that Baker will be back on the team in few days. Nell son will probably start at center to- night.
 In Laughlinhouse and Gillem the Bir- min gham Athletic Club has probably the best pair of guards in the south. The work of this pair has been the sem sation of the season. Laughlinhouse , is distinguished for his close and clean guarding, and general good work, while Gillem is known for his aggressiveness and accurate goal tossing.
 The game tonight will begin at S:s0, and will be followed by a dance. There are a few tickets left, which may be ob- tained at the secretary.s office at the Birmingham Athletic Club.

Thompson, Parker & Co.'S Letter

Thompson, Parker X Co.'s Letter
 Bearish feeling regarding general man cial and commercial affairs In Europe fn creased today and held the cotton mar ket down from the opening. Sentiment Of this sort was increased by private tele- grams from Liverpool claiming that the market was drifting into an unhealthy position and by dispatches from Manches- ter stating that mill men were alarmed at the profits they were making. A moro sober view of the situation was encour- aged here by the raise in general interest rates by local hanks. With it all the market was steady at the decline and breaks were not wide. The early trad ing brought depressions of 32 to f2 points. but around noon the losses amounted to only to 12 points. Later the market eased off to declines of 10 to 20 points.
 Weather conditions over the belt re- main unsatisfactory and are likely, if continued, to furnish cotton with new supporting Influence of importance. Too much rain fell in the eastern belt over night and cold weather in the west pre- vents the soaked soil from drying out. It may be the time for more conservatism, but we are not inclined to be in sympathy with the movement to go beyond the bounds of conservatism which is now un~ der way in some quarters.-Shepsrd ,& Gluck.

sending in many letters to members of
Congress urging them to halt measures
Of this kind. The arguments they use
include one that future trading has a
tendency to prevent such violent fuct-
uatons in grain prices and prices
Of other agricultural staples as would
otherwise be the case. They say the
present system Of trading if destroyed
will be followed by chaotic conditions 5
in the grain trade and the trade in
agricultural staples. On the other hand
members from agricultural states are
insisting that law be passed which
will put stop to what they call
gambling" on the boards Of trade and
exchanges.
The officials Of various farmers or
CARNATIONS insist on this as one Of
the pieces of legislation which they
must have and that at an early date
Despite the powerful opposition o. the
boards of trade and brokers and COM
mission men who are dealing IN fu-
lures, Congress will find itself under
such pressure for action that it - not
easy to see how it can fail to respond
The probabilities are that no bill
on this subject will be passed this win
ter. However, the agricultural mem.
bers Of the new Congress will insist
tNat one be put through in the extra
session.
