Inc preponderanee Of trading
opinion was that the market hav-
ing kept strong up to the end of
last week, in order to atfracf the
outside public, would be ouened mn
this morning and then woaId he =
sale for a turn. This In the tradi-
tional procedure in the oId-fasb-
Toned bull market.
sucn a program was followed
out today. The only qualifiea-
ton was that comparatively few
STOCKS had much OF an opening adj
vance. In the main body realizing
sales set in Immediately in such
quantity as to prevent any rise at
all After the first quarter of an
hour this selling got the upper
nand in most parts Of the list, but
Dy no means in all.
UNION OLE v
The plan under constellation re-
garding Union Oil and Shell Trans
port is said to call for one and one
half shares of the former for a
share of the latter. II this is true
at the selling price of Shell Trans
port around At, Union Oil would
figure considerably higher than its
present market quotation.
GENERAL ASPHALT.
General asphalt became quite
active at rising prices shortly after
the news was received that a SUBJ
sidiary of the General Asphalt
company had brought in a "a, 900
barrel well in Trinidad. At the
same time that this news" was
made public, the bad news" re-
garding the General Asphalt COM
pany also made its appearance in
the shape of the Consolidated in
come account for 1921.
BUTTE AND SUPERIOR
Against the improvement in the
zinc market, which is of much
benefit to the Butte and Superior
company, and against reports that
the company has uncovered a very
fine copper vein, there is still
hanging over the company the
Minerals separation suit This,
however, is reported progressing
favorably and the latest informa-
ton regarding it is that the suit
will be compromised.
MIDYALE STEEL.
There was a wide opening in
Midvale Steel There were stimuli
taneous sales and as high as So,
the latter representing an over
Sunday advance of. LIS points. In
Republic Steel and Lackawanna the
early rise was much smaller and
these stocks did not do as well as
Midvale in the later trading. The
reason for Midvale's superior was
simply that it is the Midvale in
terests who are the prime movers
in the merger negotiations and the
supposition is that Midvale will be
the central figure in the new COM
bination if it is put through.
WEBER G. HEILBRONER.
Weber & Heilbroner stock shot
ahead rapidly once it got through
its old top. The company is doing
a good business, and while there
has not been a very large jump in
dollars, profits are increased be-
cause the goods being sold were
bought at low prices.

 However, MT. President he con tinued. q have an idea that this will finally turn out some of these days, perhaps. for the better. It may de- velop that one of the cabinet offi- cers. who was first of democratic reputation and then later on of no political reputation and then still later on republican reputation, may change faith once more and give us a democratic representative on the commission. Without mentioning any names, that might happen; there is no telling, but if it does not happen, then we shall have no chance at all. If there be no sheep in wolves cloth ing present, then there will be no sheep at all.

be neglect of the state It has been different with the senators. There are two of them, and one has been able to spell the other whenever ne- cessary.
 should Have Two 9onEressmen
 My experience has led me to the belief that every state in the union should have at least two representa- tives just as 1t has two senators. In addition to Wyoming the states which have but a single representative are. Arizona, Delaware, Nevada and New Mexico. If the House is not to be enlarged under the new census, Yer mont is likely to drop back into the one representative class of states. If the representative of any one of these commonwealths should suffer a pro
 longed illness during a session of Congress the people of his state would be without any representative what ever in the lower branch of Con- gress. That is unfair Mir. Mondell's first election from wyoming was to the fiftyfourth Congress. Only three members Of the House ante-date him. One is Uncle Joe Cannon, whose first Con gress was the forty-third. Speaker Gillett and Representative Cooper of
  third. MT. Mondell missed the fifty fifth Congress, but he has been in every one since and now has com pleted one-half of his thirteenth term. Like Uncle Joe Cannon's it is to be his last in the House. MT. MondeH has decided to run for the Senate this fall against Senator Kendrick, dem ocrat Both men are exceedingly popular in their state and the contest is likely to be keen one from the start.
 When MT. Mondell first came to
 Congress Gear" Reed was the speaker.
 Since that time he has served under Speakers Henderson. Cannon, Clark and Gillett.

BETTER AND CLEANER
 STREETS PLANNED


 With the purchase of additional street cleaning and improvement equipment, program of cleanliness and sanitation has been inaugurated by the sanitary department which will improve materially the appearance and condition of Birmingham streets.
 Merchants are urged to corporate with officials to see that cleaner city is the result. Complaint has been lodged through carelessness on the part of many who permit sweep ings from homes. offices and stores, to go into the streets. Seemingly small matter, this accumulation amounts to quite a mater wh It is considered the streets which we're swept the night before are still lit- tered with paper and trash the fol- lowing morning, 1t is said.
 Must Cover Garbage
 Another matter which is called to the attention of some regards haul ing through the city of uncovered garbage cans and other foods unfit for human consumption. City ordi- nances also prohibit this and in fu- ture city officials declare those guilty of violations of the city sanitary reg ulations will be dealt with.
 The equipment purchased by the city for the street department amounted to s37,91S and with this equipment. it is announced, the city will be, in a better position to meet sanitary measures required of a city the size of Birmingham
 This equipment which was authoriz- cd by the city commission at it's last session consists of five 5-ton dump trucks, one 2-ton truck costing $2f'- O0O; two tractors purchased from the International Harvester company, costing s3,400: one lotion roller, pur- chased from the Gallion Iron works costing $5,400; and two lO-foot grad CTS, from the Gallion works at Sl'9oV'
