INQUIRY BROADENS
 IN COTTON GOODS
Markets Hesitant Following
 Crop Yield Estimate

NEW YORK, August 30.-Cotton goods markets hesitated considerably after the government crop report came out indicating probable piely of 13,- 900, 900 bales. Buyers have since been sounding out mill agents and mills very closely and are beginning to put down some business for the last quarter of the year.. Selling agents are holding prices steady but have been getting scattered orders on many finished lines with broadening inQuirse being notice able. The far west and some of the eastern industrial centers are buying lightly, but the south, southwest and northwest have been operating better than a year ago. Denims are now well sold into October and mills are running on reduced wage scales. Tickings have been sold close up to October 1. Cling hams and percales are still quiet. New prices on ginghanns are not expected until the week after next. Wide sheet ings are steady and quiet. Wash fabrics are selling moderately for spring. Broadcloths, warp sateens and fine evoiles continue well sold in fine goods centers. Further business on foreign lines of these cloths has been placed. Brown sheetings, print cloths and con- yerttbles of the more staple qualities are quoted with inquiries more numer- ous and prospects better for larger de-

STEEL SALES GAIN
 TO SLIGHT EXTENT.
Increase Warrants Further
 Slight Production Boost

NEW YORK, August sO-In the kLeei market a feeling of insecurity rel attve to values appears to be an obsta- ere to expansion in business. While tha golume of sales shows some improve nenf, the market is not gaining as rau- iuly as many had hoped.
 Railroads are buying more rails and pate, however, and there has been suf- 1lcienf business in other directions 10 warrant a further slight increase in production. Business conditions and outlook are considered sound and m . aerlying sentiment in the market is op- tsnltsttc. Pig iron was quiet but steady. put lacked the inspiration of aggressive buying.
 Copper remained quiet. Immediate needs both at home and abroad appear ed to have been supplied by buying ear Her in the month and about the only business reported during the week was in small lots. Supplies in second hands are supposed to be comparatively small, however, and producers have shown Iit- tle disposition to meet the price con- sessions, evidently in anticipation of a revival in demand during the autumn or in the hope that favorable repara- tons developments will stimulate the European markets.
 Tin steadier on buying by operators and dealers and a better inquiry from consumers, prompted by larger Ameri- can deliveries than expected and the brighter business outlook in Europe.
 Lead remained in a healthy position, with quotations unchanged. Absorption against fall requirementsF has been heavy and some concerns are booked up for first half of September.
 Zinc was higher in sympathy with London and better consuming de- snand.
 Anthony ruled easier owing to con- tinued light demand and more anxiety by China to make sales.

 Revival Closes Sunday-The revival meeting, which has been under way in tent near the Fairview school, will close Sunday night. The Protestant churches of Fairview have been cons ducting the services jointly, and it is stated that a very large number of additions have been made to all the de- nominations since the meetings started. The feature of the meeting Thursday was the arrival of ten automobiles occu- pied by Ku Klux Klansmen, in full regalia. They paraded down the aisle of the tent where the meetings are be- ing held, and presented tn clergymn :n charge with a substantial sum of money.

REICHSTAG ACTION
 AIDS ALL MARKETS

NEW YORK, August so.LThe Ger man reichstag's acceptance of the Dawes report, through the passage of legislation necessary to carry 1t into effect, had a tonic effect on all securi- ties and commodities markets.
 Stock prices, which had displayed. a reactionary trend for the greater part of the last fortnight, pointed upward when Berlin's action became known, the recovery first making itself felt in the copper and shipping issues, which are likely to be the first to benefit by Ger many's economic rehabilitation. Bond prices also stiffened with, the foreign government liens leading the advance,
 The rally in cotton prices, which sus- tained a sharp break earlier in the week in reflection of a bearish government crop report, was aided by reports of unfavorable weather in the south. Wheat prices responded moderately to the fa- yorable foreign news.
 Foreign exchanges widely regarded as the most sensitive barometer of foreign political and economic conditions, bounded upward on the German news, demand sterling selling around S4.52 and French francs climbing 5h cents. The Canadian dollar sold at a premium for the first time since 1922

The formation of the Exchange club will follow few brief talks by the visitors and local residents who are interested in the formation of the club.
 Elected Kiwanians-O. s. Mackey, one of Ensley's most esteemed business men, and Dr. George Simpson, dental surgeon for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, have been elected members of the Kiwanis club of Ensley, according to an announce ment of the executive officers Saturday. The two men were among seven elected by the Kiwanians, it being stated that announcement as to the others will not be made until formal acceptances have been received of the invitations ex- tended. These additions to the Kiwanis club run the membership up to S5, it is stated.
 ClOe To Speak-Commission W. B. Cloe will address the senior Epworth league at it's meeting Sunday evening at the Ensley First Methodist church. It is stated that Mir. Cloe will speak upon general church activities rather than upon the topics involving a discussion of moral conditions, which he has given from time to time. A special musical program will be rendered and all mem- bers of the church are invited to to at- tend the services.
 Expect Tyler Sunday-President P. H. Tyler, of the Alabama Jewellers as- sociation, who has been attending the annual convention of the national as- sociation in St. Louis, is expected to return home Sunday morning.
