NON RESIDENT CANDIDATES MAY ENTER SPECIAL PRIMARY

q have studied the statute" he said, and that is certainly my opin- ion, but I am certain that the legis- lature did not intend to keep out of Alabama any individual who might desire to run, I understand that the executive committee of the state so holds, and it's officers have so de- clared."
 It is anticipated that Coolidge and Johnson will announce themselves candidates in Alabama within the next few days.
 NONRESIDENTs NOT BARRED
 Chairman R. B. Evins of the demo- cratic state executive committee, when informed by The Age Herald Monday night of the interpretation made in Washington of the special preferential primary law. said the state committee does not eonstrue the act as barring democrats residing outside the state from entering.
 The law by no means bars any democrat not resident of Alabama from entering the primary which has been called by the committee for the second Tuesday in March," said MT Evins. The act was designed with the idea of permitting Alabama's democratic candidate to name his own delegation to the national conven- ton. The difference would be in the case of nonresident that he would not have the privilege of naming his own delegation should he be winner
 This is a special preferential pri- mary which would not be held unless an Alabama resident were a candi- date. Whether a nonresident epub- ican can enter unless resident re- publican is candidate may require little closer examination of the statute and ruling of the committed but if republican resident is a can- dldate certainly nonresident repub- licans can enter.
 "As for the democratic candidates there can be no question of the right of nonresidents to enter, because resident democrat will be a candi- la 70

Tone Of Curb Market Is Generally Strong

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Although trading was of a fitful character during the greater part of the week, the tone of the market was generally strong and the changes of an i'm portant character were to materially higher prices. The supply of stocks had been depleted to small volume during the period of market unset clement and in the preceding weeks business has been small and price movements generally narrow, but ac- emulation was apparently in prog ress, putting the market in shape for response to any new bullish moves. Dubilier Condenser was feature of the industrial group, ad- vancing nearly points. The widest movement was in Gillette Safety Ra- zor, which rose over points. Glen Alden Coal, after advancing to Fl, dropped to 67h, on liquidation, but later recovered most of this loss.
 Independent oil stocks came Into prominence, buying of several of those issues being due to special de- velopments. Humphreys Oil. which had been steadily advancing, sold as high as 4T, when the announcement was made that option on the stock was held at 50 by the Pure Oil com pany and that shareholders will gen orally be entitled to dispose of their stock at that price. Marland of Mex ico was heavily bought, ranging from 3Q5Ss, but had a sudden reaction yes terday, followed by a sharp rally There was heavy trading in mutual oil which rose about l point prior to selling eX-dividend yesterday.
 Standard Oil of Indiana and Stand ard Oil of New York both made al- lowances in the first half of the week but were in supply in the past two days. Magnolia was heavy and on a decline early in the week, dropped points.

Supply Accommodations Depress Grain Prices

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Continued ac- cumulations in the visible supply which passed the 5O0oO, ,0Oo bushel mark, was the chief depressing in fll ence in the wheat market during the week. The worlds supply as given by Bradstreets, are 112,S97,- 900 bushels. or 5,2OO.000 more than for the corresponding week last year. Export demand has been light and the movement from the country fair. Compared with a week ago wheat was off 3s gle to 2Ac; corn, 1ec higher to ss @ Ac lower; oats were down 1h @1Ac and provisions 40 to 65c higher.
 Heavy selling of wheat, especially by houses with eastern connections sent the market downgrade, the Sep temebr delivery going below the dollar mark for the first time this season. Profit taking orders, how from tte low point. Millers were fair buyers of choice grades of wheat on the dips, while elevator interests continued to take the off grades. Large deliveries on Sep tember contracts are expected to- day. Weather conditions were fla vorable for field work early in the week. Dul IdAHD uCtdy So IiAA SoiiiAt . the past few days. Action in the Liverpool market had more or less to do with the trend of values on this this side of the Atlantic.
 The Greo-Italian situation and the late strength in hog values, which touched the highest point of the season were stimulating features but these were offset partly by re- ports of a large shipment of wheat from Black Sea ports and crop ad- vices from Canada whih maintain ed previous estimates of probable yields.
 The tight situation in the cash market was chiefly responsible for the firmness in corn, especially IT September, which advanced more than one cent, while deferred It. lures showed fractional losses. The visible supply registered further decrease and Chicago stocks were reported down to 450,000 bushels the lowest at this time in years Crop prospects, however, are con. sidered as generally good in mos' states.
 Excepting on the firm spots, oats received little support, prices going down grade with December off most Although the supply coming to mar ket is moderate, it is more than sur ficient to take care of the demand.
 Strength in hogs and buying ol September lard by brokers gave firmness to provisions.

All Butter Markets Show Price Aduance

CHICAGO Sept. 1.-(By Associated ss.)-Although the tone of the butter during the week ending Sep tember 1. was irregular and uncer- tain, prices in all markets continued their advance. Dealers found top and bottom easiest to move and some ac- emulation of the medium scores took place. A heavier fall make of butter than last years production is being anticipated cooler weather, plenty of rain and better pasturage conditions prevailing. While this in- crease has not yet manifested itself it has had the effect of placing operations on the markets on a more conservative basis.
 The import situation exerted Title influence on the markets during the week. Arrivals at New York. included 2,O57 casks Danish, 200 boxes of Irish and 200 casks Holland.
 Ranges in wholesale prices, 92 score butter in the four markets during the week follows:
 Chicago l cent higher at 44Hc
 New York l cent higher at 45c
 Boston 1ac higher at 45c.
 Philadelphia 1ac higher at 46a-

Bright Future Seen
 By Steel Industry

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Steel held steady during the week without much change. Sales were considered satisfactory and showed little reduc- tion, and the future was considered bright, as the railroads were said to have outlined a constructive policy which would mean large require ments of steel rails and other mate- rials, Autom obile industry also was looking forward to good business. Pig iron continued quiet, and, while values were fairly well maintained, the nndertone was only about steady.
 Further weakness appeared in the copper market, and few small sales of electrolytic were made at 1S%c delivered, which was the lowest price since last October. Considerable cop per was available at 13Nc, although most producers were holding at 1SBc. A lack of demand, coupled with drastic declines abroad, caused the weakness.
 Tin was firmer on a better demand from consuming interests. Spot sup plies were limited.
 Lead showed further advances, as very little prompt metal was avail able, and more buying interest has been shown, especially on the part of battery and paint manufacturers. Zinc was quiet, although there was still some interest from abroad.
 Anthony was quiet and easy, partly due to continued depression in the Chinese market.

BUTTER

CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-Under very light supplies the butter marekt here today con- tinued firm. Buyers needs for the day were light but in spite of this the mar ket was very closely cleaned up. Goods were firmly held and sales were made in some cases slightly above the prices list ed This, however, was not particularly true of 92 score, which sold very generally at 4bc. The market was not as firm as might be Judged from the available sup piles because heavier supplier were ex- pected; then, too, the car market was very quiet. Dealers found 1t rather difficult to obtain the below quoted prices:
