TENSION IS EASIER
 BUT TRADE LIGHT IN STOCK MARKET
Shorts Hesitate To Pur- sue Decline In Prices
 Of Oils
By EDWARD J. CoNDLoN

Special Leased Wire to Age-Heraldl
 NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Trading was greatly diminished on the stock ex change Friday, with the total sales less than 600,000 shares. Traders, however, | sense an easing of the tension that has prevailed all week. Shorts did not ap- pear too sure of their ground and hesi- tated to pursue the decline in oils very far, although the reductions in gaso- line prices to the extent of 2 to 8 cents gallon in Il states in the middle west formed an excellent basis upon which to start another bear drive Indeed, pressure from all sources seemed to re- lax when 1t became evident that the money market was not tightening.
 The per cent call money rate. which will rule until the opening of business Monday, was undoubtedly responsible for much of the late buying which came into the market and carried many stocks to new highs on the movement. In connection with the September 15 turnover in government funds, the treasury will withdraw $9,4s2, ,150 from deposits with member banks in this district Monday. This marks the first withdrawal by the government from its New York balances in a considerable period. <
 Expansion Indicated
 The weekly summaries of business, while admitting certain irregularities i in trade, point out that the movement Is toward expansion. The heaviest car loadings of the year, the surprising gain | in the untitled steel tonnage and the greater distribution of merchandise as evidenced by the bank clearings, are set forth as indicative of the present | trend of affairs. In fact, the cooler weather is calculated to stimulate re- taili buying so that September may show a substantial gain in the cempari- son of trade figures with those of a year ago.
 Duns review records the weeks fail ures as 31s against 296 year ago. Of this weeks defaults, 159 had liabilities of $5,000 or more in each instance, which is equivalent to 49.S per cent Of the aggregate number against 49.7 for the corresponding week last year when 1 such failures totaled 147. l Bradstreet's Journal reports bank clearings in the United States for the week as $7,s05, 900 against $6,966,- 213, ,000 last week, and $6,713,624,00o dur ing the corresponding week last year. Canadian clearings aggregated $751; 6O5, ,O00 compared with $226, ,10s,00O year ago.
 Cotton Hits New Low
 Sentiment was mixed in the commod- | ity markets. Cotton broke to the low est levels in more than a year. Tad CTS scanned the weather map closely and when heavy rains were reported In Texas, many took the view that this moisture is beneficial and the market broke under the pressure of southern hedge selling, with nothing but scat tered buying to sustain 1t.
 Wheat continued its rapid advance, though the pace was hardly as great as that set Thursday hwhen the Accent gain was recorded. Encouraging cables and the higher market in Winnipeg started the market on it's upward course Corn was little influenced by the for eign advices and closed lower.

AT THE TEMPLE

Douglas McLeans latest and great est comedy drama of laugh, chuckles, and grins, will be shown at the Tenn pie theater for the last time today. This captivating comedy seems to have really captivated Birmingham movie patrons, for it has drawn capacity audiences almost, for the entire wSek.
 The funny situations which arise when Mclean is brought face. to face with three doctors and their examina- tion of his heart, provokes gales of hearty laughter, but when Doug in his hired Hack" part company with the driver and horse and continues on his course to the boat without the driver or horse, regular hurricanes of laugh ter shakes the audience.
 The Temple concert orchestra con ducted by Fred Stark, and featuring "A Day With Circus" a descriptive fantasie. has caused unstinted praise from every person who has heard this delightful loverture, and this one fea- ture alone caused laughter and much a applause.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Despite some evil dences that early fall buying has in some instances been satisfied, and that purchases for the more distant posi- tions are quite closely restricted, the general trend is toward a continuance of the moderate improvement hereto fore noted. Better than this moderate trend is apparently not expected just at present, the tendency being to so forward cautiously. It has been too cool for most crops but especially for cotton in most states. Cool weather, however, has had stimulating effect on both retail and jobbing trading, more especially in states favored by good crops of small grains or cotton, as, for instance, the old spring wheat northwest, the old southwest and Texas. a, ,...-

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE JEFFERSON

Birmingham's last chance to enjoy that appealing and wholesome comedy drama, Daddy Dumplins," comes Sat urday night, because the All.Star lief, ferson Players will present it. for the last time then, and will spend Sunday rehearsing the production next week.
 The offering next week is of the unusual type. It is George M. Cohen's famous Broadway triumph, 'So This Is London When the actors strike made it necessary to cancel '"So This Is London" as a road show for Bir- mingham this winter, the management of the All-Star Players made arrange ments immediately with Mir. Cohen for the company to put it on here.
 "So This Is London" is naturally different, since it is Cohen offerings. It provides great opportunities, for the members of the All-Star Players. Sel- mer Jackson and Arthur Byron will be at their best in the leading roles, while Frank McHugh, the new juvenile, will be seen in his first big part here.

AN EXCELLENT measure of the A pulse of business is the movement
 of freight traffic. Such move ments, week by week during 1924, are shown in the chart above. The lines ire composed of index numbers as com piled by Thomas Gibson, with the average for the corresponding weeks of 192o-'22 being taken as equal to 100.
 The significance of these lines at present Is that they reveal, in most instances, a slight upward tendency. In the case of grain the upward move ment has been pronounced, the result heavy sales and movements of wheat and corn. It would naturally be ex- pected that agricultural products would pass into markets rapidly with prices jumping. The most recent figure for live stock car loadings, not avail-

able in time for the chart, shows a sHXrp advance from 107 to 11s. Forest products are being loaded slightly more rapidly and merchandise loadings are holding their own. Shipments of ore have declined drastically.
 Figures of car loadings by various sections as well as by groups of com- modities are also available. They are interesting. For instance, there has been a slight decline of loadings on eastern roads. The same situation has held true on the Allegheny and North4 western railroad systems. On the other hand. there has been a rapid increase of loadings in the Pocahontas region from an index figure of 108 in June to 149 at latest report. The low June figure on southern roads was '1O2; today 1t is 11S. In the central west and southwest loadings have increased slightly.

DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Cotton cloth prices after displaying a firm tone in the early trading today were shaded slightly in line with a decline with raw cotton. Trading was moderately ac- tive. Buying was reported with prices showing little change. The raw silk market was weaker with a decline of 19 cents a pound in Japan, Canton and Tussah grades. Despite higher prices for burlap in the primary markets, lo- cal quotations remained unchanged.

All problems have not been over come by any means Native-born Americans do not take, kindly to the more humble tasks on board ship.

Data regarding as demonstrating
that commercial aviation has def

Secretary of War Davis and Maj.
Gen. Patrick, chief of the Army Air
Service. that under suitable condi-
tions mail and goods may now be
transported by air with equal or
greater safety and reliability than by
train and with greater saving in
time"
Picturing the development of cora
mercial aviation in the period since
the war, the report gives the aggre-
crate of air transport miles
flown in all countries, including the
year. and estimates that 1924 will
add 100000 miles to the total. The
figures represent only regular air

In the development of air mail

Francisco. Last year 2,466,27s pounds
of air mail was carried, of which
$4,000 was European traffic. Air
freight transportation increased from
$4,000 pounds in 1919 to more than
s. 200, 900 pounds in 1924.
The Army Investigator said the
confidence OF business men
abroad in air transport was shown In
the regular consignment OF air freight
now ranging from auto
parts to perfumery and silks.
The fact that insurance rates are
actually less by air than by boat and
rail for valuable goods sent between
England and the continent is said to
have played an important part in con-
business men of the stability
of the new form of transport.
