STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, June 4.-Overnight news developments were favorable to stock prices at the opening. and several issues opened up at higher than closing prices. In some cases the advance reached full point. There was probably consid- erab[e short covering during the first hour, and as some times happens, while the first insistent demand is supplied the market quiets down. again and fails to make any more headway for that day. That Is just about what happened high point, shrdluetaoinshrdluep today. Averages reached their last high point, but failed to go through, which also caused some selling in the general list. There is said to be one group who believe prices will work lower between now and the middle of Hume, but on the other hand the buying continues to have the appearance of accommodation. If it should be that important people are selling now tn- stead of toward the close of the year to establish losses, it would indicate that at least they figure that prices are about as low as. they will be for the balance of the year. Southern Rail- way made a new high'at 579s. After the noon hour, prices sagged loweg, and at the close about all of the gains had disappeared.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin. <, -s
 NEW YORK, June 4.-For many weeks the stock market has been ruled by technical conditions. It has been superficially strong. Values have re- mained within a limited range, not be- cause there was an investment demand holding stocks at this level, but be- cause the short interest was large; and this technical condition has given us a number of rallies, but in each instance the rallies were temporary, and this will probably be the story of the rally that followed the presidents signing the tax law and the agreement of congress to adjourn. son what basis would we have a right to expect a permanent im- proVement with trade conditions as they are, at the present time? The stock market does not advance without good reason, and it does not decline without good reason. The combined power of all large operations could not hold val ues down if business was good, neither could it permanently advance values when business is poor. How is business today? You are in a good position to answer this question: because the pres ent business depression is not confined to any particular industry or district; 1t Is nationwide and includes practical ly all business. We regret that at the moment we Can see no indication of change anywhere, and therefore we con- tinue of the opinion that a temporary bulge now and then Is the best that we can look for.-John F. Clark & Co.

 NEW ORLEANS, June 1.-The first crop condition report by the govern ment was issued June 2. It showed a condition of 65.6. The general inter pretation of the report Is that 1t Is bullish. With this interpretation we do not agree. We do not mean to say that an actual present condition of 65.6 is not in itself bullish, but we cannot place any substantial reliance on June reports such as would warrant the adoption of them as basis for a de- cided position in the market. The June report is only an indication of the fu- ture crop. We do know that general trade conditions in this country are poor. We have made special effort to secure accurate and entirely reliable re- ports in order to advise our friends on this score. Our reports are almost unanimous that domestic trade is at a low ebb, with hardly any chance for are unsatisfactory. Aside from the re- cent unsettleing in Investigations, the fact that 1t is president campaign year is enough to assure unsettled trade conditions this summer.-Levy & Aron- son to s. R. Stewart.
 NEW ORLEANS, June 4.-Today's weekly weather report; the first issued since the monthly crop returns were made to the government May 25, which showed the lowest condition on record for this time of the year, with the sin gle exception of 1920, indicated no inn provement in the condition of the crop Perhaps, if anything, some deteriora. tion was without effect on values, Tn, better weather outlook for the interio had more influence on sentiment ant the market, resulting in a further shall reaction.

erally fair tonight and Thursday in nearly all sections of the cotton region. A day or two of sunshine will not help the crop much, as a fortnight Of dry, warm weather is necessary toS Spermit the plant to make satisfactory progress In nearly all districts of the cotton re- zion. Meanwhile, weather may change when least expected. The technical po- sition of the market has evidently ina proved by reason of the recent exten- sive liquidation of the long interest and not a little of short selling-H. & B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Co.
 NEW YORK, June 4.-The market showed decidedly easier tendency to- day on better weather over the belt and prospects of 1t being extended for a few days. The selling came prin- cipally as a result of the fact that the market failed to respond to the very bullish government report; in fact, the most bullish one we have had in the one. Shortly after the opening, rather large, selling orders appeared, and the local crowd followed this selling. Around Il o'clock, New Orleans brokers were rather heavy sellers, causing the market to weaken further. This re- action is quite natural In view aof the fact that considerable cotton has been bought in the last two weeks and the short interest is rather small. This selling will put the market in a better technical position and more able to respond, to further bad weather, should we have it. It is our opinion that the trade will buy rather freely on all these declines, and we do not believe this decline will go very much further.

Gadsden was chosen as the new To- cation of the Alabama School of Trades and Industries at meeting of the board of trustees at the Morris hotel Saturday afternoon.
 Anniston was the chief competitor, the vote being four to three. Anniston supporters then moved to make the vote unanimous and this was done.
 The Etowah metropolis offered fine tract of 100 acres as a suitable location for the school and also made cash offer. Among other cities actively bid ding fogsthe school were Greensboro and Tuscaloosa. ,} T5.
 Senator Watt T. Brown, moving spirit in the fight for having such a school established in Alabama, said that the committee was unanimous in its belief that a trade and industry school will be a great asset to the state. He pointed out that Gadsden has the industries which will furnish first-hand information to the, students
 The school was originally located at Ragland, but before any building was done it was decided to move it else where as Ragland did not possess the required requisites for such an. institu- tion.
 Among those attending the meeting Saturday was Gov. w. W. Brandon, .ex- official member of the board of trustees.

OVER $lO0,0DO IN
 PROPERTY DEAL
Site On Third Avenue Near Twentieth Street, Is Sold l''.' .'
 Saturday % ( {

A real estate deal said to involve more than $100,000 was consummated Saturday when papers for the transfer of lot 20x75 feet on Third avenue, near Twentieth street. were filed in the probate office. The lot was bought by the Twentieth Street Realty company from J. c. Whitfield, George A. Blinn, Jr.. and Dr. Alfred Eubanks.
 The building occupied by the Wells company, clothing dealers, was included in the sale, being situated on the site purchased. The sale will not affect this business, it was announced, the property being purchased as an invest ment and for the purpose of enlarging a lot already owned by the Twentieth Street Realty company extending to the southeast corner of Twentieth street and Third avenue.
 Although no price was mentioned in the warranty deed, it is known that the owners have refused offers of slightly less than $100,00O for the property. Real estate men recalled that it was sold in 1905 for less than $20,OOO, in- creasing almost 800 per cent in less than 20 years.

Finus Goodwin Slips From : Bridge While Attempting
 To Turn Vehicle

Finus Goodwin, age 82. died Satur- day morning at his residence on the Montgomery highway, about 10 miles south of Birmingham. from injuries re- ceived Saturday night, when he stepped backwards from ae the Cahaba river bridge while attempting to turn his horse and buggy around. 7 - 7
 According to Coroner J. D. Russum, who investigated the accident, although it was few feet across the county line, Goodwin fell approximately 100 feet to the ground below. %
 Passers attracted by his groans found him and removed him to his home. The bridge. the coroner stated, was under construction and had wide gap in the center. Goodwin drove on the bridge apparently not knowing that he could not cross. Coming to the opening end, the horse stopped and Goodwin, after investigating the cause, attempted to lead him around. As he steped backwards, he went over the edge. He Ioosed his grip on the bridle and avoided dragging the horse and buggy after him. y
 Goodwin operated a barbecue stand on the Montgomery highway and a farm. He was well known in Birming- ha mand the vicinity. Several chill dren survive him..
 Funeral services will be announced later by Ridout.
 Funeral services will be held at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon from the Delham church, followed by interment in the adjoining cemetery with Ridout in charge.
