Shipping Activities Alabama's Seaport

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 14.-(Special Leased ire.)-Entering from Antofagasta, the British steamer Putney, to Page & Jones, declared 4,70o tons of nitrate of soda from the Chilean nitrate beds. This, cargo 1t was learned Friday. is an advance ship ment of a movement expected to be one of the heaviest going through the port. Part of the cargo, about 50 per cent, is to the Alabama Farm bureau, which will distribute to farmers. on the cooperative basis. Early next year it is expected that the movements of German potash into Mobile will begin. This was launched early in 1923 and the company beginning the movement brought In several vessels.
 Capt. ". F. Turner of the Putney re ported that his vessel, southbound through the Panama canal was slightly delayed by slide in Culebra cut, but that gangs worked overtime to clear the ditch for traffic.
 The only movement of Friday was the British steamer Kabinga. handled by Nor ton Lilly & Co.,, which sailed for Yokkai steel rails. wire and steel sheets. The Kabinga sailed by way of Galveston, where she will complete for the Orient.
 Expected departures of Saturday include three vessels. One of these. the Golden Gate, to Page & Jones, marked the en- trance of the Golden Gate Steamship com uled for departure Saturday. She has been loading at Turner Terminals. ! Another steamer operated by Page & Jones is the Saco, United States shipping board, which is scheduled to sail for Havre, Antwerp and Rotterdam. The Saco has picked up flour and lumber for the continent.
 The Norwegian steamer Baja Califor- nia, Page & Jones, is scheduled to saii for Mindward Island ports about Tuesday. This vessel replaces the Hancock County, which has been turned back to the United States shipping board.

Plans Olympic Rugby

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Pacific Coast association of the American \. A. U. will organize an olympic rugby team to defend Americas Olympic championship in this sport and Will raise a fund of $S.000 toward the ex- penses of sending the kickers to Co- lombes, France. in the spring. The American Olympic association made this announcement Wednesday.
 Because rugby is not a national game in this country and is played most extensively by amateurs on the western coast. the competition for places on the team will be confined to men living in that part of the country. However, if amateur play CTS living elsewhere wish to go to San Francisco for the practice com petitions. they will not be unwel- come The first practice will be held on December 23 and by January 1t is hoped that the coacehs will have learned enough about the respective abilities of the 45 players now enter ed. to be able to divide them into three squads.
 The victory of the American team at Antwerp in 1920 was rather sur prising in view of the fact that rug by has only a few followers in thls country.

MARKET REFLECTS. GOOD CONDITIONS.
Tendency Of Prices Upward, While Industry Shows
 Expansion
By WALTER II. BROWN Lensed Wire to The Age-Herald)


 NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-At the low point of the recent decline in stocks 1t was felt that the market had over discounted conditions to a consider able degree and that for the time being 1t had ceased to perform its customary function as barometer of trade conditions.
 With the recovery that has taken place in the past several weeks, that function has been restored and re- cent tendencies of market operations have been a fairly accurate reflec- .tion of business conditions. The gen. eral movement of prices has been upward disturbed only by momen- tary reactions which usually have afforded an opportunity for accumu- lation of additional lines by those whose faith in conditions is un- shaken,
 Industrial conditions also have re- vealed generally, expanding ten dencies, checked here and there by special conditions which have not al- tered the main situataion.
 A disturbing factor has been the unreasonable weather conditions in various parts of the country. In the north Atlantic states, where there should be freezing temperatures and snow, the weather has been balmy; in the south and southwest. where mild temperataures are expected, there has been severe winter wealth. CT. These conditions have turned re- tail trade topsy-turvy, although nor nal temperatures have returned to New York and there is a sudden in creased demand for winter goods.
 The steel trade is showing substan- tial recovery, although shipments from the mills are still in excess of new business The Steel corporation is operating S4 per cent of it's capac- ity. as against S1 per cent week ago, although the independent com panies are not running above 70 per cent Heads of these corporations, however, express themselves as sat isfied with conditions, which they consider normal for this part of the year. They predict active business during the first part of next year.
 Automobile manufacturers are talk ing confidently of the first half of 1924 witnessing an output in excess of the corresponding period of 1923. Certainly if the automobile trade is to be taken as an index of general prosperity, there is abundant buying power availab ble to support all in- dustry.
 Furthermore, the building program for 1924 runs in excess of that of 1a23 and this year has been a heavy one. Returns to BradStreet's as to building expenditures in Novembe from l6S cities place the total esti- mated value of new construction in what is ordinarily a small month at s25402S.042. as against $274, 362,SS7 in the sa me cities in October and $206,- 996.90l- in November last year. This represents decrease of "A per cent from October. but a gain of 22.S per cent over November, 1922, while the gain for II months is 24.4 per cent.

Many or sell if the report was above 10,000,00O and their execution led to a sharp break. They probably represented the liquidation of remaining old long accounts accumulated on the smaller crop ideas of late last

There was also bullish comment on today's weekend statistics, but these features failed to ere ate much buying power. and were proba- bly, offset to some extent by reports of domestic mill curtailment.

Boxing
 Commission Tangled

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. fl. - The new Pennsylvania state athletic com mission. recently appointed to ad- minister the game throughout the state under a law permitting 10- round decision bouts, has worked it. self into a snarl which some higher authority may have to unravel.
 Incidentally. the higher authority will be courting considerable pol1t- teal discomfort as the tangle in- wolves the question of mixed bouts between white men and negroes. The New York boxing governors have carefully avoided explicit decisions on the question of inter-racial prize fights, although Harry Wills appears to be under a taeit boycott there.
 Charles F. White, formerly an ath- Iette himself, is one of the members of the commission. White is a ne- gro and he had made public pro- test against the commissioner order forbidiing mixed bouts. He con- tends that the commission never voted on the matter. But William II. Rocap, the chairman, insists that he and Commissioner Boyle of Pitts burg did vote on the question and decided against mixed matches, their two votes being an adequate ma iority Co over-ru1e Whites objection.

SEMI-FINALS OF CLUB CAGE PLAY

In the city club basketball Ntourna- ment being staged in the Birming- ham Athletic club gymnasium the Ramblers and Galliards won their games in the semi-finals Friday night and will play for the cham pionship.
 The Ramblers downed the Windsor aggregation by the count of 32 to 29. It was a hotly fought game, with sensational shouting by both teams.
 The other game was equally as close and not until the last was the game finally settled. The Nomads were the losers in the second con tests and the score was F to 14.
