Sumner Comments On Substan.
 tial Growth Of Tri-Cities

Contrary to the expectations of many outsiders the Muscle Shoals sec tion is continuing on its period of sub stantial growth and development since the withdrawal of the Ford bid,' said USarles Sumner, we'll known real es- tate man of Sheffield who is in Bir- mingi m for a few days. We have more inquiries from substantial, perm anent inves stors than we have ever had and the spirit of the district is at high level.
 If you will make some comparisons you will find that our largest bank is as large today as Birmingham's larg- est bank was twenty-five years ago. There is as much business in the Mus cle Shoals district now as there was in Birmingham 25 years ago. We are as confident of the future as it IS pos sibie for us to be.
 Incidentally our section is offering a man who is widely endorsed for gov ernor of Alabama next time in the per son of A. H. Carmichael and when the time comes our section will show that it considers him in every way worthy of the high honor."

MARKET DOOMED
 IN lVDUSTRIALS;
 RAILS ADVANCE
Stocks Have Busiest Ses-
 sion During Past . Fortnight
By EDWARD J. CONDLoN

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A sentence in Dun's review for the week sums up the case for the stock market which Friday rounded out one of the most successful sessions in a fortnight. The thought conveyed is that even with the restraining effect of the nearby cleo tions, business, as a whole, has made further headway. In other words, there is no adequate reason at this writing why prices should tumble at this time.
 On a turnover exceeding one million shares, the active Industrial stocks leaped more than a point. On the av- craze, the prominent rails went up about %. That the advance was built on solid ground was evidenced by the fact that the seasoned rails and indus- trials assumed leadership. Several fs- sues forged ahead into new ground on the movement, with Montgomery Ward, Sears, Roebuck & Co.,, and Associated Dry Goods reaching new highs for 1924.
 One Weak Spot
 Two per cent money throughout the session brought investors into the mar ket in larger numbers and was respon- sible in no small measure for the SUD- port which appeared on all temporary recessions in the market. The only really weak spot among the active issues was Mexican Seaboard Oil, which was sold in huge blocks on the news that
  ing salt water.
 Dun's review this week reports the number of failures in the United States as 413, or il more than last week and % more than. during the correspond ing week last year. Of the weeks de- faults, 251 had liabilities of more than $5, 900 in each case, which is equivalent to cos per cent of the nuE.ber against the ratio a year ago of 60.1 per cent.
 Bradstreet's Journal figures the bank clearings in the United States for the week ending October 30, as $8,115, ,7S4, against $s,913, ,532 900 last week and ST. SIPS, ,S13,000 in this week last year.
 Railroads Active
 An interesting sidelight on the rail- road situation in general and the equip ment market in particular Is revealed in the compilations of the Railway Age. This journal reports that orders for railway equipment during the month of October totalled 1855 locomotives, 11,852 freight cars and 238 passenger cars, hav1 ing a total vale of approximately $48,- 00O, ,O00. This brings the value of railway equipment purchased during the pres ent buying movement, which started early in September, to more than $100,. 100000.
 Net changes in commodity prices were quite without importance, grains recov- ering a small part of the previous days losses and cotton, giving ground on pri- vate crop reports, showing larger figures than generally expected.

| INTERESTING facts and trends are
 noticeable in the simi-annual re-
 port of the Department of Labor on the number and value of various types of new building accomplished in 6s cities which had 1920 population of ,00O or over This latest report is for the first six months of 1924 and some of the results are shown in the above chart as percentage comparisons with the same period of 1923.
 The first half of this year witnessed 10.1 per cent increase in new build- ings to be used for residential purposes and a per cent increase in the number of those erected for non-residential use. The smaller non-residential increase is a reflection of sluggish industrial ac- tivity, for while there was an advance in the number of new churches. amuse- ment places, public and private garages, institutions, public buildings and schools, there was a decline in the num- Der of new factories, stores, and office buildings. Looking at the situation from another angle, the cost of 10 per

COTTON REGISTERS
 SHARP ADVANCE
Rise Follows Decline Occurring
 After Crop Report

NEW, YORK, Oct. 31.-The declines which occurred immediately after the publication of the government report last Saturday were followed by sharp advances early this week. Apparently the official crop and ginning figures led to very little selling, except for the liquidation of long accounts which had been held in anticipation of a more bull ish statement.
 Trade interests were reported heavy buyers on the break following the Washington reports and the demand from that source seemed to continue on the advance, which carried January contracts up to the 24-cent level Tues day. At this price the market showed a recovery of 180 points from the low level of the previous Saturday and the advance was then checked by realizing. little more southern hedging also was reported and prices eased today on the publication of larger private crop fig ures, reports of a slightly easier spot basis after the falling of October com mitments and prediction day liquida- tion. There appeared to be tendency toward an upward revision of crop es- inmates toward the end of the week. This was encouraged by Wednesdays weekly report from the weather bureau indicating that the recent cold wave had been more beneficial than harmful in many parts of the south and by re- ports of continued good weather for making and saving cotton in the fields.
 The first of the private end month crop reports to make it's appearance placed the indicated yield at only 12,- 304 ,000 bales compared with the govern ment's October IS indication of 12,675,- 900 bales, but even this figure was above the end September indication of the same authority and later in the week , vk nrIA ,11n t,a estimated yield at 1s,1oo,OoO bales. The market seemed to be somewhat unset tied by these larger crop figures, and selling toward the end of the week was also promoted by expectations of fall ing off in spot demand after the turn of the month and talk of an easier technical position in futures. The next government crop report is scheduled for publication on November and will give the crop prospect as of November, 1. Liverpool has made a generally steady showing during the week optimism as to trade prospects in Lancashire seems to have become more pronounced since the British election.

 wives Exhibit

Birmingham will have its final oppor- tunity to inspect the most successful exposition ever held in the city Sat urday. The doors of the new munich. pal auditorium are to close for the last time upon the third annual Manufaes turers' and Housewives exhibit at II o'clock Saturday night and when the last spectator has left the huge arena: members of the Jefferson County League of Women Voters, under whose ausi pices the exhibit is being given, assert that more people will have passed through the doors than at any other similar affair ever held in Birmingham,
 In addition to the so booths, where practically every product made in Birt mingham is being shown, there are two other attractions on the program The music is to be furnished Saturday by the Phillips High school band, regarded as one of the best school bands in the state. In addition, more than 20 grand prizes are to be given away, all hay, ing been donated by various exhibitors Included in these prizes are two mat tresses, several tons of coal, q ward- robe trunk, child's play tent, a con- plete breakfast suite and prize cakes. One of the mattresses to be given away is covered with ticking imported from Czechoslovakia and has been attracting great deal of attention during the week.
 Friday Crowds Big !
 The crowd Friday night exceeded that of any other night during the week. From noon until late in the evening, the procession past the booths was never-ending line and demonstraz tors declared they worked continuously without Hull. The first feature on the program, the cooking school at II o'clock in the morning under the di. rection of Miss Annie B. Sale, director of domestic economies at Montevallo, was attended by several hundred wom- en- Miss Sale will hold her last cook ing class Saturday morning.
 No speakers were on Fridays pro- gram, which consisted of music by the Avondale mills band and the distribu- tion of prizes at intervals. A special feature of the program was the showing of slides on the screen, which depicted the name, slogan and product of every exhibitor.
 These slides are to be used by the league after the exhibit ends in ordeI to further it's program of inducing Birs mingham to buy Birmingham-made products.

BRITISH CLOSE
 MANY COAL PITS
Cotton Trade Outlook Is Hope
 full, Says Report
(By Associated Press) q


 LONDON, Oct. 31.-The monthly sum mary of British trade, issued by the American Chamber of Commerce Nin London, after referring to the disapi pointing September trade returns and increased unemployment figures says the acute depression in the coal trade has caused pits to close and many col leries now are on day to day contracts. There have been large reductions in the prices of pig iron and steel. Tin remains buoyant. Small importations of tin plates have been received from America. ..,.e -ei
 In the cotton trade the outlook is hopeful, says the report, which refers to the spinners' federation decision to increae working hours to 32 weekly in the American section, from November 8. The manufacturers find it difficult to obtain sufficient yarn. In wool, record shipments of Noils and wastes were made to the United States in September, amounting to 295,850 pounds.

cent more new residential buildings was anly 5 per cent greater than in 1923, while the cost Of per cent more non- residential structures was 13 per cent greater. But to take up briefly the various types of residential construc- tion. The increases in number over 1923 were: One-family dwellings, 5.3 per cent; two-family dwellings, 3O.8 per cent; one and two-family dwellings with stores combined, IA per cent multi family dwellings, 15.6 per cent; and lodging houses, 300 per cent New hotels were fewer in number by TIA per cent. The total number of new residential structures in the six months of 1924, provided for 205,1 ,193 families as com pared with provision for 197 819 families a year ago.
 The most startling change is in the apartment house group. In the last several years, the proportion of new families provide dior by this group has increased. This year, the proportion has fallen, undoubtedly in part as a result of exodus by people to homes of their. own in suburbs. @
