SHIP NEWS OF
 MOBILE PORT

MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 19.-(Special Leased Wire.)-One of the heaviest all- pipe cargoes to move from the port of Mobile in several months was cleared today on the steamer Lydia, with the Van Heynigen Brokerage company as agents for the vessel. The consign- ment, 5,050 tons of cast iron pipe for Los Angeles, was laden on the vessel, which sailed today for the Pacific coast port. This movement Is part of the all- year-'round business done with the coast. According to information con- tained in coast publication, the vest bound business from the gulf to the coast Is increasing steadily, although the east-bound volume has shown some slackening. Members of the inter- coastal conference, said the article in
 question, were pleased with the show ing made by the west-bound business.
 Another steamer sailing for the coast was the Edgar F. Luckenbach (Mobile Liners), which carried 2,350 tons of pipe, lumber, steel and general cargo

obably New York's most recherche may be doing him too much honor, certainly lives in the king row. A to them, but they insist upon the in understanding the bootlegging pologize for devoting so much att whole I think not. Ours is a com story is always relished.
 The. boss and the sub-bOss change their homes and offices and telephone numbers continually. 7 Lately they have been dealing more in Canadian ale than in whisky, as the hot weather boosted the amperage of the New York thirst. This comes in over httle-fre- quented roads, much of the ale crossing the border near Malone,- N I. This morning the boss came in from what is at the moment his country home, to meet the biggest man in the whisky business in the Bermudas-or maybe the Bahamas. Never mind which.
 "He began with $25,000 in cash when the country went dry" was told, land now he has within ten thou sand dollars of his first million. In cash, that is. And heaven knows how much his wife's diamonds cost. He loves to buy her diamonds"
 The de luxe bootlegger deals only in case lots with men who spend money without getting fretful. But downtown the minor bootleggers also make money in their minor way. Not long ago the bartender at one of the saloons which are as open as need be near the city hall cut the price to 60 cents a drink. It had been 75.
 "The prohibition officers are going to get us pretty soon," he said. T have fifty cases on hand to get rid of.' .''
 He said there must be a wireless at work in whisky. circles.
 "In sixteen minutes after I cut the price seven other saloons near here had also cut. Seven. In sixteen minutes. !"
 The moral seems to be that the old rule of quick sales and small profits is as operative as it used to be before the war. He was getting rid of his stock, he said, three times as fist as when it cost 75 cents drink. But the person of orderly mind is bound to look little deeper.
 "How many drinks do you get from a bottle? asked a customer.
 'sThirty-two," said the bartender.
 Even at the reduced rat ethat is $19.20 for a bottle tha tcost him $3.75. No wonder that bootlegging flourishes in New York City. Or that the up- town jewellers are reporting strange new trade in gems,
 Queer men are buying" they say. "They buy diamonds for size. Some times they buy barpins as neckyOkes. Just so the jewel is bi genOugh and shiny enough they do not worry about the price"

 Arriving here from Galveston, the American steamer Glendola came in to the W. G. Coyle company for a cargo of coal to Cuba and will load at the Louisville and Nashville coal tipple. She will be here through the end of the week. The Glendola is said to be a sister ship of the Munisla, owned and operated by the Munson Lines. Thomas M. Ross & Co. entered the Glendola at the custom house.
 The British steamer Lady Brenda ar rived from Beaumont to the Munson Lines with a cargo in transit and will load here for Chaparra and Mansea- nillo, sailing August 21. The British steamer Onaway is now in port on berth, being loaded by the Munson Lines for Antilla, Guantanamo and Cienfuegos, and is scheduled to sail Saturday.

EkoM an optimistic viewpoint, the
 most significant among the vary
 ing trends of business barometers during July was the upward swing of nearly z per cent in sthe automobile production pendulum. Favorable also as forecaster of future business ac- tivity was the per cent higher level than in June of stock values. Bank clearings increased per cent from the June figure and over per cent from the July, 1928, figure.
 Other figures. such as the 12 per cent decline in pig iron output from June and ,the nearly 3 per cent drop in carloadings, appears less cheerf'-l. But, if 1t be noted that the declines during July were less pronounced than the June declines from May, there is less cause for gloom. For example, June carloadings were 1s per cent under those of May; June pig iron output was g per cent less than the May produc- ton.

Such a comparison as this would seem to indicate that although some of the July barometrics were unfavor- able they exhibited a slowing down in the momentum of the declining busi- ness movement. Coupled with this is the fact that many straws now point ing the way toward improved business are yet incapable of measurement.
 The ease of money rates and the tre- mendous supply of money are the domi- mating factors still in the business sit- uation. Easy money begets new busi- ness enterprisesa invites business ex- pansion, and aids it in getting under way. Already the volume of new busi- ness enterprises has increased, although 1t cannot be said as yet that increases will continue. In July sos good-sized new concerns were established with a capitalization of $572, 100000. This is the highest total since March and com pares with 4s2 companies established in June with 8 total capital of $455,- 0n0 000

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s-Prices declined nearly 2c, and selling was scattered, influenced by lower cables and easier cash market Canadian weather Is warmer, allaying fear of frost damage. Much of the buying was by commission houses with eastern connections. The market closed weak under the weight of liquidating sales. Rains are interfering with harvesting in the northwest.
 Corn trade was mixed. There was an early wave of selling, influenced by a forecast of warmer weather over the corn belt. A strong demand developed on the decline which caused some recovery. There is decidedly too much rain over a large part of the corn belt.
 Oats were relatively stronger than corn. December reached a new high. Although a crop of large volume has been produced. rains at harvest time is causing much to spoil. Cash oats were firm.-H. and B. Beer to J. F. Wtllingham 6 Co., 9i

NTEW YORK, Aug. 19.-He is pl N and exclusive bootlegger. This
 but I think not. His clientele few dollars 3 case means nothing best. sIfla st82 v aids, one snzaewhat business here. Perhaps I should tention to this industry, but on the mercial nation and good business
 He is an Italian, who began flat-foot- ed along with the Yolstead act Long before others saw the profitable oppor- tunities he had perfected his organiza tion. He had almost no money to be- gin with, but by strict adherence to the moral laws of business--industry hon. esty and courtesy-he has profited im- mensely.
 Today he owns a distillery in Scot land and three cargo steamers, 50 that he gets all the profits. He operates with no apparent fear of consequences. His men say the boss has bought every body up and down the line, so that he need fear no egg-eyed prohibition officer popping into his affairs. The boss himself, Nof course, maintains the se- clusion of any man of big business. The public deals through his underlings.

 What he really said was that they are all "heroes," meaning that each had distinguished himself in the war y '.And they love the excitement. They couldn't do without it."
 They do not fight back. That is not good business, considering how inti- mate the boss relations must be with someone But they like lodging in and out of foggy channels, running circles around the coast guards speed boats, even having their boats shot to pieces under them. That has happened more than once lately.
 In one recent night they landed 5000 cases. That was merely an ordinary nights work. However, the boss be- lieves that the time is coming when the cost of whisky win be higher. 1t is getting more difficult to dodge the speed boats, and the inlets where whisky can be landed and the passable roads through the sand dunes are be- coming known to the enforcers.
 we cut the price to $44 a case lately" said he, because we had a surplus, and it is not wise to keep too much stock on hand. But this fall the price will go to $75. Good gin-real gin, and not the denatured stuff-will cost $50. But we will always be able to fill orders at that price"

fered altogether too much in gov

Again, the remedy should be APP

when the government deals with all

these large business enterprises
should be permitted to contribute
large funds to political parties,
political aspirants or political mani

unusual sums of money are not

interest which partisans have in
their political party. Generally
