CROP REPORT
 BRINGS SLUMP
 OF 5 A BALE
Further News Of Im- provement May Bring
 Additional Declines

NEW ORLEANS, July 6.-The main feature of the past week in the cotton market was the government re- port issued Wednesday, giving the con- dition and acreage of the crop based on returns of an average date of June 20 and the indicated yield based on the condition applied to the acreage. A condition average of TIP, acreage planted of 40,403,000 acres and an in- dicated yield of 12,144,000 bales ex- elusive of linters were all higher than the trade. expected, and also higher than the average of the 17 private reports issued in advance of the government s report.
 Sustained By July
 Prior to the publication of the report the market ruled fairly steady, being sustained by the hardness of the July position, now in process of liquidation, and the technical position of the mar ket, due to the accumulation of short interest unbalanced by a corresponding long interest, the latter interest having been pretty thoroughly liquidated.
 The immediate effect of the govern ment report was a decline of practically cent a pound, or five dollars a bale, and it is probable that the decline would have gone further, as the for eign markets, particularly Liverpool, were strongly impressed by the bear ish showing of the government report, but for the conditions surrounding the liquidation of July and the natural de- sire of shorts to cover and take profits in advance of the three days holiday in American markets, attending Independ- ence Day.

clients, but in the next breath he rec ommends another lawyer who also has been known to have big financial and corporate interests among his clients -McAdoo. Has it come to such pass that any and every man who has had any dealings with important business men is damned politically? Why, Al Smith himself, was president of corr poration controlled by Wall street ln- terests," Here's an interesting little inside incident. When Owen D. Young was first mentioned as a member of the American delegation to the re- cent economic conference held in Paris, Secretary of State Hughes didn't know that Mir. Young was a democrat.
 "Did you know that Mir. Young is a democrat" he asked President Cool idge. To his astonishment President Coolidge quietly replied, "Oh, yes"
 The few who know President Cool idge very intimately--and there are very few-declare there isn't much that Coolidge doesn't know about politics. He knows the political game backward and forwards. Although Owen D. Young has been figuring in democratic doings, he is not afraid to express his admira- tion for General Dawes. Only the other day MT. Young said to me Dawes is one of the finest of our American types. He is able, patriotic, devoted to the best literature and best music and in every way gentleman. I predict that as he becomes better known to the American people he will constantly grow in their admiration and esteem"
 A Chicago reader writes: "Why don't you write little human interest story about the hotel t.iat Dawes built and still operates on the West Side for the unfortunate individual who needs a nights lodging for 10 or 15 cents or a quarter?"
 "It is real institution; I went over it with him shortly after it was opened. You might include a para graph or two about the bread and cof- fee lines that Charlie Dawes paid for and in which he personally served food and drink to the unfortunates. All this was years ago when politics never entered his mind, and is simply an illustration of the real humanity from many man all over the country who

JUDGE HAWKINS

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, July 6.-(Spe- cial.)-J. W. P. Hawkins, B, judge of the criminal court of Madison coun- ty and one of the largest land owners in this county, is dead, after sustaining two strokes of paralysis which followed a long illness. Judge Hawkins was born and reared in Madison county and had been a justice of the peace and an officer of the criminal court many years. He leaves widow, Mrs. Vir- ginia S. Hawkins, a daughter, Mrs. Mary Boyce of Birmingham and two sons, John and Archie W. Hawkins of Huntsville.
 Court To COnvene-Circuit court will be convened Monday by Judge o. Kyle of Decatur and a week will be spent in the disposal of civil cases. Then there will be two weeks devoted to the cleaning up of the criminal docket which is one of the largest in recent months.

IRON RECOVERY SEEN AS GAUGE
 FOR INDUSTRIES
Climbing Back Toward Norn1alcy Presages
 Better Times, Said

Recovery of the iron market, caused by the setting in of new buying movement which crowded the pig iron industry out of depression was the most encouraging feature of the week in in- dustry of Birmingham.
 Opinions as to the future trend of affairs in the mart are apparently di- vided by the lightning quick change in conditions. Some operators claim that the buying is only temporary and due to the low level of prices, while others hold the sales forecast a re- markable increase in business. The latter point out that the quarters buy ing period must set in soon and with the stabilizing of prices being effected heavy sales are around the corner.
 Sales did accomplish one concrete re- suit. For the time being, at least, they checked the shutting down of more furnaces in, the district which was con sidered inevitable a week ago.
 Iron Market
 Should the iron market climb back anywhere near to normalcy it will undoubtedly be reflected in other parts of the district. Some hesitancy has been reflected in other parts of the dis trict. Some hesitancy has been felt in other lines. by the general apathy in this important phase of industry.
 The coal market showed little change during the week. Prices were steady on industrial and domestic grades. Coke reflected some sluggishness by slight drops in quotations along the line.
 Cast iron pipe factories seem to be progressing we'll, considering the fact that foreign demand for the districts products has slumped somewhat. Or ders on hand take care of operation for some time.
 The situation in steel remains prac- tically the same. Little new business has been noted. Cement producers con- tinue on the high tide, showing no let up from near-capacity operation.
 $45, 100000 Real Estate Deal
 Encouragement to business generally is the report that the first half year year of 1924 shows a figure around $45, 100000 involved in real estate transactions. It is said by business men that city's prosperity can be keyed upon its real estate market and the Birmingham mart is apparently enjoy ing it's record year.
 1AhhOOhSCAACAb OA pAduo LOE IS-SbOEy office building at Fourth avenue and Twenty third street was one of the fea- lures for the week. With construction on this building starting soon and work on the Athletic club 10-story building scheduled to commence in the next two weeks boosters of the district around the Terminal station will short ly have something to show 'Hdoubting Thomases."
 Despite these building programs, how ever, the southside vied with the section for attention nj the real estate mart. Two exceptionally large sales, one by the Brown-Hamm Realty company at Avenue B and Twenty-first street and second by T. W. Quinn of the Moulton company at Avenue F and Twentieth, augur that there will be considerable activity across the tracks' soon. ~

my real eXplana- tion, starts to manufacture news" " Woolworth shares have been advancing spectacularly. They sold last year be- low $200. The same stock has recently been worth $48O. Such an advance clearly called for explanatory news stories. So Wall street has been sup plying them. Only, they're all un. true.
 "Why should we dream of merging the Kresge stores with ours?" asked one Woolworth authority. sssYou prob ably have noticed that in most places the Kresge stores are either longside ours or in the same block. Not only that, but the Kresge stores went into higher-priced merchandise during the war and have never gone back to the strictly 5-and-10-cent business. As a matter of fact, Kresge is moving far ther and farther away from the Sand 1O-cents business, toward the regular department store business. This means less and less competition for us.''

Business men may hold many important conferences and con ventions, but the politicians certainly can outdo them in, childishness.
 Without question, Bryan attracted more attention than any other man attending the convention. Almost the first question asked by visitors to the galleries was, Where's Bryan ?" All along, there was feeling that any movement he might step forward and turn topsy-turvy the whole proceedings But his performances fell flat. His pet candidate, McAdoo, lost ground and later Bryan was .booed into si- fence. One business man remarked 1:

Despite many complaints, all avail able figures tend to show that while retailers have not done the business which they anticipated at the outset of 1924 they have fared much better than wholesalers.
 The holding of retail sales to fairly respectable levels, when coupled with the sharp falling off in wholesale trade, could be interpreted as an indica- tion that stocks of goods on the shelves of retail stores have been depleted. If this be the case, it is inevitable that continued depletion of stocks or a sharp improvement in public. buying will sooner, or later react to the ad- vantage of wholesalers. Meantime, con- sevative retail buying policies are af- fecting the wholesalers as well as manu- lecturers, although not to as great an extent ,

FINCHER HANGING
 SET AT TALLADEGA
Convicted Of Staying Maybell
 Mccullough Last Year

TALLADEGA, Ala, July 6.-(Spe- cial. l.)-Preparations for the hanging of Gordon Fincher, alleged slayer, of May bell Mccullough near Lincoln, in the spring of 1923, started today. This is despite petitions that are being cir culated at Anniston by friends of Fin cher seeking to have Governor Brandon commute his sentence to life imprison- ment.
 Although Fincher has few days left he still denies his guilt and states he denies the charge.
 T am ready to go and have made my peace with my Maker" said Fincher. But I deny the charge and say that l am innocent. I do admit seeing May bell Mccullough on her way to get the mail that day she was killed and l had conversation with her."
 Fincher repeatedly asks that his mother or babies be allowed in the cell with him. This is not being done but members of his family are allowed to talk to him through the bars, as is done in cases of all condemned pris- oners.
 Fincher is accused of attacking May bell Mccullough and then cutting her throat and hiding her body in stump to prevent her telling on him.

IN the five wholesale lines shown in the chart above, drugs alone sold
 better during May than they did 12 months ago. As compared with April of this year, only the grocery trade showed an improvement in May. Sales of gro ceries at wholesale, in fact, have held up fairly we'll all the year. The de- mand for shoes fell off sharply during May, while the dry goods trade has suffered a heavy recession in sales since the first of the year.
 May wholesale trade, the country over, underwent of decline of 2 per cent from April figures, as issued by the Federal Reserve Board, and was 6 per cent below the sales of May, 1923.
 Wholesale trade, apparently, has felt the effects of the recent sluggishness in business much more than retail trade.
