BOOM FOR MAYOR BEGUN
RumOred He Will Serve For >$1 A Year If
 Elected
lFairfield Rurean.l

FAIRFIELD, Ala, Aug. 23-That Harry Hillhouse, president of the Fair field Kiwanis club, is being groomed for mayor of Fairfield was the out standing development of local politics Saturday, following a week of activity. No formal statement was obtainable in relation to the plans of Mir. Hill house, although the report was credited by some of the leaders in local civic affairs.
 At this time, Melford w. Pratt, pres ent mayor, is unopposed for reelection. It was believed that he would be given the place again on account of his high record of achievement and the general idea that two terms should be awarded chief executives. An interesting fea- ture of the plans of Mr. Hollhouse was that he plans to serve for S100 per year if elected. The politicians be- lieve shat Mir. Hillhouse will make a definite statement during the next few days.
 The only additional development was the entrance of Joe Steed in the race for alderman from the second ward. Already there are 24 candidates for the 12 places, and Mir. Steed runs the number up to 25. He operates the Gary theatre, is large property owner and former superintendent of the Ten nessee company pattern shops.
 The races are proving to be rather interesting to residents of. Fairfield, there being evidenced a desire to se- cure the very best available men for the places.
 John W. Brooks and c. c. Carter are expected to fight the race out for president of the new council. Only one woman is running, Mrs. Charles A. Fiske, at present member of the council.
 Drive Is ClOsed-After two weeks of solicitation, which was conducted along very quiet lines, the Montevallo drive has been concluded with $3,000 sub scribed from Fairfield. This is more than the sum assigned to this city by the state committee, and therefore very gratifying to the residents of Fair field. The drive was of peculiar in terest to Fairfield residents, for Dean O. c. Carmichael, of Montevallo, is a younger brother of Dr. J. N. Car. michael and Dr. William Carmichael of this city.
 Mrs. McConicO Visits-Nfrs. c. & McConico, of Beaumont, Tex, is the guest of her brother, Joe Steed, on Parkway.
 Visit ellowstOne-Cards from MT and Mrs. c. W. Cole, who are touring the west in their car, relate pleasure trips through Yellowstone.
 Miss Haggard In New YOrk-The friends of Miss Louise Haggard, ot Fairfield, have received cards from hel in New York, relating many interesting affairs being given her in her honor by friends in that city.

COTTON IS INJURED
 BY LONG DRY SPELL
Picking Is Order Of Day In
 Fort, Deposit Section

FORT DEPOSIT, Ala, Aug. 23.- Cotton picking is the order of the day here and already number of bales have been placed on the market. Re ports from farmers indicate. that the crop has greatly deteriorated within the past ten days, due to the hot, dry weather experienced here for the past several weeks. Almost all of the squares, blooms and young bolls which constitute the top crop, have. fallen from the weed, due to insufficient mois- ture and boil weevil depredations. It is also stated that the boil weevils are destroying a large per cent of the half grown bolls which were considered ten days ago a safe crop. It is noticeable that many of the matured bolls are opening and producing 'hard locks" which renders them worthless on the market.
 The corn crop is practically made, and a majority of the farmers claim they will harvest enough to run their farms another year. The oat crop har- vest was exceedingly small, due to small acreage and extreme cold spring which partially destroyed the stand.
 Owners of the many large groves of fine budded oceans report an unusually small crop of nuts, not more than 30 per cent of normal crop, which repre- sents about 5000 pounds. Buyers are visiting these orchards and offering satisfactory prices for the crop. Sugar cane, peas, potatoes, velvet beans and all minor crops are growing nicely and promise good yield.

GREATER ACTIVITY
 IN STEEL CIRCLES
Production Raised To Keep
 Pace With Buying

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-rhe steel mar ket during the week displayed further evidences of slight improvement in tho general demand and production was tn- creased about in proportion to the buy ing. The trade continued to feel very confident relative to future develop mente, but the market as whole was considered disappointing. Prices failed to show stability, and a disposition to anticipate further declines undoubtedly served to check new business. The pig iron market was quite active in some quarters and the undertone firm, with producers inclined to raise their quo tations.
 The recent buying movement in cop per has been followed by decided fall ing-off in demand and easier prices in sympathy with recession in foreign markets. However, no selling pressure developed in the local market, and pro. ducers are holding steady, although there has been some price shading by second-hands.
 Tin ruled firm, though sensitive to fluctuations in sterling exchange.
 Lead has moved Into consumption at a rapid rate and Is consequently strong.
 Zinc was firm but not active, although producers expect increased buying for September needs.
 Antimony continued strong owing to light offerings from China.

GRAIN. PRICE BREAK
 DUE TO HEAT WAVE
Corn Is 5 To 2 Gents Lower
 Than A Week Ago

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Hot weather, which developed suddenly after an offi- cial forecast thatNn no more summer tenn peratures need be looked for this year, has lead to violent downturn in grain prices this week. Compared with q week ago, the corn market this morning was 5%c to 7c a bushel lower; wheat, 31ic to 6Hc down, and oats, 2hc to She off, with provisions showing 35c to 56c decline.
 Downward swings in the corn market took place only after all high price records for the season had been smashed again and again, as a result of almost panicky buying due to apparent nkeli- hood that g great portion of the crop would be made unmerchantable by frost The feverish buying activity was partly curbed through heavy calls for margin to protect commission houses, but be- fore this safety measure was widespread the failure of one firm was announced It was at this juncture, too that, tndi- cations of warmer weather developed and that selling set in which later be- came something of stampede
 Talk about imports of Argentine corn for distribution 200 miles inland from both the Atlantic coast and the Pacific attracted some attention as a bearish factor. On the other hand, as the end of the week approached 1t was said that various traders who had sold out their holdings were buying anew, talk ing the position that the bulk of the corn crop still needed six weeks of good weather to escape frost.
 Wheat and oats fell when corn turned doSRn-grade. Reported improvement of the Canadian crop outlook, together with big receipts of wheat in the United States, tended also to pull down wheat values.
 Provisions were dominated by the ae- ton of grain.

FARM BUREAU AIMS
 TO USE PORT MORE
Business Through Mobile To Be
 Doubled

MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 23.-(Special Leased Wire. )-The Alabama Farm Bureau federation with separate units throughout the state and ranking eighth in the list of large business in stitutions, will use the port of Mo bile more than ever before and will double its 1924 business next year, Ed ward A. ONeal, of Florence, president of the federation, told members of the Mobile county farm buraeu at their an- nual meeting yesterday morning. Presi- dent O'Neal said that farmers of Ala bama want to see the port developed and they voted for the $10,O00, 900 bond issue in the belief that direct benefits would come to them.
 Large quantities of fertilizer, which the state body buys for its members annually, move through the port of Mobile and it is the intention to double the federation's business through the port, he said. In his address at the annual meeting of the members of the cooperative board, president O'Neal emphasized the. necessity for union among the growers and referred to or ganizations for the promotion of other business and industry. Tt is just as necessary for the millions of farmers to organize as it is for the leaders of the steel and iron industries" com mented the federation president.
 President O'Neal's speech followed the welcome by Mayor R. V. Taylor and the presidents address1by J. Lloyd Abbot. The farm bureau members present at the meeting, reelected Mir. Abbot as president, l.. T. Lane as vice president and I. l.. Thompson as sec retary and treasurer.

REACTION IS FELT
 TN MOST MARKETS

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Reactionary price movements characterized the prin- cipal commodity" markets this week. Stock prices lost ground when traders became convinced that the recent ad- vance had overdiscounted the trade movement and resulted in a technical situation, which bullish bears were quick to discern. Foreign exchanges were contributing factors in bond prices, with United States government obliga- tions the first to give ground. Cana dian exchange touched par for the first time since 1922.
 Weather conditions were a determin- ing factor in the movement of grain, wheat exports showing reductions on the week.

.COLUMBIANA COURT
 TO BEGIN MONDAY
Heavy Docket Carried Over
 From Spring Faced

COLUMBIANA, Ala, Aug. B. Especial. )-The fall term of the cir cult court convenes here Monday, Sep tember 1, before Judge E. s. Lyman. A heavy docket faces the court, as there was no spring term of circuit court and all cases were continued until' the fall term. This was due to representa- tions by farmers to the effect that lit tie work had been done on the farms because of continued rains and term of court at that time would work hardship upon them.
 Schools To Open-The public school of Columbiana will begin Monday, Sep tember s. The same faculty that served last year was reelected, but Miss Ger trude Bishop resigned and her place as primary teacher will be filled by Miss Ruby Long of Guntersville. The other teachers are Miss Irene Bishop and Mrs. c. E. Niven, with Professor J. B. King principal.
 The Shelby County High school opens the same day as the public school with the following faculty: J. NJ. Tucker, principal; Miss Mary Peters, English Latin; S. L. Lillie, mathematics-ath- letics; W. L. Arnett. science-French J. P. Montgomery, vocational agricul- ture; Miss Laura Winters, home eco- monies; Mrs. Jatie Middleton, music; Mrs. Mildred White Wallace, voice, and Mrs. P. o. Luck, expression.
 To Continue Cases-Judge L. B. Rid dle announces that all cases on the docket of the county court will be con- tinued from the first Monday in Sep tember until the first Monday in Octo- Der. This is due to the fact that the grand jury will be organized and the circuit court and the board of revenue will convene here Monday, September 1, making it impossible to hold sat isfactory term of county court.
 Tarantula Captured--A window dis play by a local grocery firm aroused considerable interest here this week. It consisted of large tarantula which was found in bunch of bananas. Need less to say, the venomous insect was safely confined in a glass jar

UPWARD COURSE
 OF STOCK PRICES
 COMES TO HALT
Buyers Wait Reactions To
 Make Purchases, 3Y Says Condlon
BY EDWARD J. CoNDLoN IRv Lanaaa HUira An A Ana.HAnalnA


 NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.--The stock market paused in It's upward course at the close of the week to catch its breath end permit certain necessary techincal Seadjustments. In fact. judging from the sharp declines, the market halted long enough to take several deep breaths. But from the resistance dis played by various issues on declines. 1t Ss evident that, although there is al- ready good deal of company on the bull side of the market, many buyers are only awaiting reactions to make purchases
 The week has seen very conservative trading as whole; not that the finan- cial community looks for a sustained slump in prices, but because 1t has long been the experience of operators that swift advances are followed by some what sharp though brief reactions. However, recessions In many of the railroad and industrial favorites have been surprisingly small, though the averages during the last few days have shown decided declines.
 Money. Source Of Strength
 The main source of strength of the entire financial structure is the easy money market. It would be difficult to find another period in financial his- tory when call money has remained so
 
 that the money market has stiffened perceptibly this week, but only time money and bankers acceptances actual ly met with an upward revision of .-sztes. In London, money rates con- tinue well above those ruling here, with a light demand reported. l
 The reactionary tendency in stocks has a counterpart in bonds. Starting with liberties, the bond list has been working steadily lower since mid-week. Banks reduced their holdings of bonds on the first signs of a stiffening in the money market. To some extent this money is needed for industrial uses, judging from the amounts that have been taken out of this district by in- terior banks who are able to employ their surplus funds to better advantage at home
 New Offerings Light
 The luil in the offering of new bonds for the week, the total being less than one-third of the previous weeks az gregate, has aided the market to a cer- tain degree in digesting the numerous Issues put out earlier in the month
 The most Interesting development Sat- urday was the announcement of the government figures on the cotton crop as of August IS, making the condition 64.9 per cent, against the August 1 condition of 67.4 This estimate was i well below the general average of the private reports published, 6s members of the New York Cotton exchange mak- ing an average guess of 65.9. The in- Ing to the bureaus calculations, is still, however, about 100000 bales above the average of the very short crops Of the last three yearE

BUTTER ENDS WEEK .NOTICEABLY HIGHER
Supplies Of All Grades Light
 And Readily Moved

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 23.-The weeks market in 92-score butter, August 15 through August 21, closed with whole sale prices in Chicago, New York, Bos- ton and Philadelphia higher by Ac to 1Ac pound than they were at the beginning. Because undoubtedly of ex- port inquiries late the previous week, the week opened with all markets firm on top scores. The price advance Tues. day was not followed colsely by buy- ers1 however, as confidence in the situa- tioh seemed to be lacking.
 Supplies of all grades in the under grade market here were light and quite readily moved. Although there was q fair demand for 92-score, the demand centered on the medium and the under grades.
 The anticipated buying for the Eng fish markets did not develop into any volume of business. Sentiment seemed to be fn favor of lower prices.
 Storage holdings during the week have increased at the four markets, about 100000 pounds, as compared with a decrease of about 100000 pounds for the corresponding week last year. Students of the figures predict that holdings September 1 will be from 4S,- 100000 to 53,000,000 surplus unless consid- erable export business should develop within the next 10 days.
