lDR. STUART BACK
 FROM JIJNALASKA
Large Congregation Elk.
 pected At Both Serv- ices Sunday

Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor of the First Methodist church, returned to Birmingham Friday, after an absence of three months, and will again fill his pulpit Sunday morning and night, when a large crowd is expected to be on hand and give him a welcome home.
 Dr. Stuart nearly four months ago was taken seriously i'll with an attack of ptomaine poisoning and other com plications and it was deemed best to take him to Lake Junaluska, N. C., where he rapidly recovered, and in re- cent letters to friends here he declared he was feeling better than he had in five years.
 Special preparations have been made by the Board of Stewards to handle the large crowds expected to turn out Sunday, and Dr. Stuart has let it be known that he will have special mes sage of interest to all members and friends of the church.
 The meeting of the Board of Stew ards of the church which is usually held on the first Monday evening in the month was postponed until next NIon- day, so that Dr. Stuart could be pres ent to aid in taking up many important church matters.

ALL GRAINS LOSE
 DURING THE WEEK
Wheat Market Shows Effect Of Persistent Selling

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The wheat mar. ket is showing the effects of persistent selling due to heavy export sales dur ing the past week and prices have struck downgrade. Buying power seems to be lacking and although the market has shown ralIying power at times, the figures this morning reveal losses on all grain and provisions. Compared with week ago. wheat this morning ia down x to 1Ac; corn is h to Mc lower; oats are off E to Mc,i and provisions show a net loss of 10 to 67hc.
 Acceptance of the Dawes plan was followed by heavy purchases of whea, by Germany. France, Italy and the oth- CT interested powers and this has been chiefly for an upturn in value here As a result of this business receipts of wheat have beertN quickly absorbed Continued drought Nin Argentina and more or less bu1lish reports regardins the European crop hay helped to firm values Primary receipts, however have been larger than a year ago. Movement of the wheat crop from the northwest has increased and this will greatly augment the supply. Weather conditions also in the northwest have been favorable for threshing and much larger yields are estimated than indi- cated a month ago. One private re- port placed the spring wheat crop around 240,000,000 bushels.
 Weather conditions have been the chief factor in corn. Conditions over the belt have been favorable but the crop is reported late in most sections The market being quite sensitive any threat of adverse weather probably would be a factor toward higher prices
 Short covering In oats, Sinvestment buying on dips and frost damage in the Canadian northwest were offset by jrivate reports which placed the yield at about 27,000,00O bushels over the figures of month ago.
 Provisions were dull and weak on selling attributed to cotton seed oil interests and drop in shogs.

COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.-The, under tone of the marke remained steady to- day in the face of the uncertainty ate tending release of the government re- port Monday. There is some disposi- ton to lower crop ideas compared with previous Washington forecast for yield of 12,956 900 bales, on the theory that the continuance of the drouth in the southwest and the absence of sufficient rain elsewhere lowered the condition of the plant sufficiently to moreA than offset the higher "pars" for Septem- Der 1. g
 Domestic weekly trade reviews are encouraging, indicating a slight im- provement In most lines of business and foreign trade reports are satisfactory with prospects. of expanding in the fu- ture. While there Is general compAaint of the want of rain in the interior for late cotton, there Is an absence of in- sect activity except from scattered To- calities whereas at this time one year ago almost incessant rains were lower ing the grade and weevil and worms were numerous and active in nearly all districts of the cotton region. The con tinuauce of fair weather this year is permitting picking, ginning and mar keting to progress rapidly after a late start in Texas and the grade of early receipts is reported much better than one year ago. The immediate future of the market likely will be governed by next Mondays crop forecast to be released at 10 a. m., New Orleans time.-H. & B. Beer to J. F. Willingham & Co.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Trading in cot ton during the last few days has been very restricted, interest is centered on the government condition figure and crop estimate up to September 1, which will be issued on Monday at noon, New York daylight saving time. Opinions as to what these estimates may be and their probable effect on the market are at wide variance. However, ideas seem to be crystalizing on a crop of around 100000 bales. Early killing frost, however, might cause considerable re- vision In crop ideas. We believe cotton will be found for sale in considerable volume on any advance that may follow bullish reports, and favor having selling orders on hand to take advantage of any spurt in prices on any sharp break. We think purchases advisable for quick profits.-Charles Fairchild & Co.

across their rights of way. There IS, however, one other complication which I have not heard mentioned. All of these streets were closed between Powell Avenue and Avenue "A" by an act of the Legislation, approved October 6, 1903.
 do not agree that this is not the time to discuss streets grades, when grades are being fixed for all future times.
 The business and manufacturing dis tricts and most of the residential sec tions of Birmingham are now connected by Highways with comparatively light grades recall that ten years ago when 26th street near 17th Avenue was being graded, that the Manufacturing interests at North Birmingham made such strenuous objections to the pro- posed grades that the City, at great expense, was forced to adopt a mixmum grade of 3 per cent. and I predict that the public will never permit the use of 6 per cent grades on the proposed Viaducts or underpasses. The con struction of Viaducts at 18th street and 24th street on 6 per cent grade would result, in my opinion, in intolerable cenjestion of traffic on the 20th street crossing. I do not censure either the railway or city officials for looking after the intefests they respectively represent, but lht the same time, it should be borne in mind that if the railways did not demand greater overhead clearance and lighter grades than those now existing on their main lines within the area affected, the cost of the project would be very greatly reduced; while oh the other hand. the city will be forced to consent to sleeper grades on her streets. I am frank to admit that, in my Opin- ion, the City Commission has been un- duly criticised, especially so, for not adopting the 18th street Viaduct plans when offered I have been connected with similar negotiations in the past and recognize and know that they re
 quireA much time. As to the ptopor 2 = 2
