 Pell-mellfrom shis stool dashed Di- rector David Smith and in his wake a flock of camera men and assistants who were engaged in making scenes for Rafael Sabatlni's famous love story, Captain Blood" which shows at the Temple two more days, Friday and Sat urday.
 They found him. and true enough. with needle sticking from him. But at no discomfiture to his person. James Morrison, who has the role, was in the hands of the wardrobe mistress, who was making use of every available moment to keep his costume in order. z.
 Jeremy Pitt has a tough time of it in Captain Blood,' and aside from the bruising he gets from the mobs aud his own particular fights, his cloth ing suffers considerably. It is a con stant duty for the wardrobe mistress to keep JeEry's clothes intact as we'll as the same in detail throughout the pie ture. Each moment that he is not actu- ally before the camera he is being gone over with needle and thread.
 Captain Blood one of the most TO- matic and thrilling pictures ever pre- scented in Birmingham, will be shown at the Temple this week at 11-1-3-5-7-9 D. m. daily.
 The special overture-prologue con ceived and staged by Fred Stark, with scenic effects by Jas. A. Park. will be offered only at the seven and nine o'clock performances. due to the great length of the picture production this week. The Temple Concert orchestra will be ably assisted this week by the Orig inal Four Male Quartette, who will feature several selections of tuneful and equally famo2s sorg numbers. During the picture. the entire overture of the Flying Dutchman' will be rendered by the Temple concert orchestra. Next week, Priscilla Dean will be shown in ''The Siren of Seville one of the most thrilling dramas ever from this artist, with the story by H. H. Van Loan.

Today's tprice and premium for october ought to attract a. lot of cotton here. Sentiment, be- cause of today's development, has be- come decidedly mixed and unsettled John F. Clark &s Co.
 NEW YORK, sept. 25.-Liverpool was slightly lower than due this morning, but our market did not respond fully to their decline. After the hedge sell ing was absorbed the market turned extremely steady in the face of con tinued rains over the Atlantics, which ruined to a great extent the good proI- poets and also will increase the boil weevil damage Tn that quarter. There was very brisk short covering followed by buying orders sent in from southern mill interests and these buying orders found very little cotton for sale, con sequently our market advanced rapid ly. It seems to us that the trade are slowly beginning to realizel that the crop will positively not be- anything like they expected and thisX feeling is slowly making headway throafghout the entire world. Two weeks ago, the trade were extremely pessimistic with regard to the dry goods situation and felt con fident that they could secure their supply of raw products on basis around 20 cents or lower. We think the altitude is entirely changed now and mills are beginning to realize they have waited a little too long. It Is our opin- ion that the market will work higher with natural reactions from time to time. The buying has been of rather good character and we see no reason why hedge sales will not be readily ab- sorbed by the trade.-Hubbard Bros. & Co. >.l.,

MOLD facts and sentiment are work ing in somewhat divergent direc-
 tions at the present time, insofar as the outlook for the oil industry is concerned. There are many rumors current that oil securities are being groomed for a forward movement on the stock exchange. But, facts do not reveal a statistical situation which would warrant too sudden optimism.
 The oil industry has passed through black days. No better evidence of this is needed than the fact that oil se- entities have actually appreciated in value during the bull stock market movement which began in June. They are ordinarily quick to feel the effect of bullish stock market sentiment. While there is a general agreement shat the industry has been out of tune with the consumers of It's products, there are varying opinions as to the exact cause, Some say that excessive stocks and production of gasoline have caused the trouble; others blame overproduction

COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 25.--The ten dency of the market was to higher levels today after opening easier on lower cables than due, October tenders here and New York surprisingly small, there was much rain in the South At lantic states, especially in central Geor- gia, advices from the cotton goods mar kets were bullish and a bullish con- struction was placed on government pars furnished for October bureau crop forecast report. 1f The average par figures for the next government report is 276.S against 269 for the last report, or an average tn- crease of 8 pounds to the acre against about IA pounds for the previous period which would care for deterioration of only about points. In other words, if government report showed deteriora- ton for this period. September 16 to October 1, or a condition of 53.4 against 65.6 the indicated crop would be about the same as reported September g, or about 12,596, 900 bales, but if the deterio- ration is 3 points or more, smaller crop than previously reported would likely be foreeasted. The average de- terioration for period of September 1 to 16 was 3.9 points.
 This feature of the situation furnished the incentive for buying today, and is likely to remain a factor pending the issuance or inc next government lorec- fast,- although the numerous private crop reports will likely have influence on values according to the character of returns. j..
 Owing to the continuance of wet weather in the east belt and reports of revival of insect activity, particularly of weevil, especially in the South At- lantics, and the lower pars than gener- ally expected. the disposition Is to re- duce crop ideas, this development was under the market today.
 Indications are for more rain in the east belt, and there Is the possibility of less favorable weather in southwest, increasing cloudiness, probably showers in north portion.
 New York reports sharp advance in cotton yarns by spinners following the rise. in the price of the raw material, that the goods markets are steadier with many small orders in hand.--H. & B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Co.

Happy Bermuda Has No
Real Traffic Troubles

mere are no traffic police on duty
In Bermuda, motor cars being prob,b-
Tied by law. The police are "a con-
spicuous feature Of the landscape,
however, with their natty blue uni
forms and the distinctive blue and
white striped duty band on the left
sleeve at the wrist, reminding one OF
he metropolitan police in London.
Those who go to Bermuda to rest
usually pass the time driving round to
the various sights of the islands, such
as o Moore's house, Gibbs hill light
house, Cathedral rocks, the Leming-
ton cave and its stalagmites, or going
out TO the coral reefs in a tug to be
later put OF In small glass-bottomed
boats from which they can study the
sea life below them in water which is
perfectly clear. although it may be 30
or 40 feet TO the bottom, says a Der
muda letter to the Brooklyn Eagle.
Every Wednesday there is a recep-
ton and . o'clock tea at the gov
ernor's house. to which all visitors to
the Islands are welcome and the mill
ldiy pdhu Is un uuly Ut some pace OF
other every day. One of the favorite
resorts is Elbow beach. on the south
shore, where there Is only one narrow
strip of coral reef between the bathers
and the broad Atlantic. and waves
come rolling in sometimes 20 feet
high.
on account of the long narrow shape
of the island the distances are usually
incorvenient. For example, it Is six
miles from the principal hotels 10 the
most popular golf links. and what with
transportation. greens fees, caddies,
~luncheons, liquid refreshments and
tips, $40 n day will hardly cover the
expenses at either Of the more popu-
lar courses, Riddell's bay and fuckers
island. At St. George, on the other
hand, which is two hours ride by car
riage from Hamilton, and where the
links are not more than five minutes
walk from the hotel. the greens fees
are only 81 a day for four persons.
