RETAIL TRADE HUS
RRIEHT_OUTLDOK
Industrial Activity Greater Than
At Any Recent Date
■
COKE BLOCKADE STILL ON
Capacity of Pig Iron Furnaces Has
Been Curtailed on Account of
the Inadequate Supply
of Fuel.
New York. September 12.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade will say
tomorrow:
Industrial activity Is greater than at
any recent date. Many new factories
and mills have been added to the pro
ductive capacity, facilities are being in
creased at old plants and idle shops re
sume through the settlement of labor
controversies. A coke blockade still ex
ists, the railways being unable to handle
the output which Is above all reccrdB
and in urgent request. Despite the rapid
development of transportation facilities,
the nation's needs has grown still faster
and the situation Is distressing for ship
pers and consumers. Large crops are
being harvested and tl>e greater abun
dance of foodstuffs caused a decline in
prices of commodities during August of
3.5 per cent as measured by Dun’s Index
number. Retail trade is large with a
bright outlook for the future In Jobbing
and wholesale business. There are few
of the cancellations so numberous at this
time last year, while collections are an
improvement. An advance of 22.9 per
cent in bank exchanges at New York
over the same week last year cannot be
explained by speculations as dealings in
stocks were also heavy in 1901. Railway
earnings in August exceeded last year's
by 4.3 per cent and these of 1900 by 13.1
per cent
Aiuiougn tne weekly capacity of pig
Iron furnaces in blast on September 1
was reported as 835,189 tons by the Iron
Age. It has since been appreciably cur
tailed by the inadequate supply of fuel,
on which account numerous furnaces
were blown out or at least banked. As
consumptive requirements are increasing
it is necessary to place orders abroad
more extensively and in some cases the
entire output of foreign plants has been
secured. Not only raw material, but
billets and even rails are sought in other
markets, German mills’ offerings the
best terms in most cases. Heavy im
portations have prevented advance in
quotations, but domestic producers have
ready sales for their output, contracts
still runnings far into the future. Rail
ways are in great need of new locomo
tives and other equipments.
New England producers of boots and
shoes are insisting on full prices and
some grades that were slow to respond
are now sharing the improvement. No
sign of weakness is seen in leather, some
selections rising still more, particularly
the better grades of sole and belting
butts. Slight reactions have occurred in
some packer and country hides, but most
lines are still firmly held. Liberal re
ceipts have not depressed foreign dry
hides. Textile mills are well occupied,
with prices sustained in all cases and
moderate advances in some cotton goods
which are In demand for quick delivery.
With the completion of early orders there
has come a quiet market for woolens and
worsteds, but mills have large contracts
on hand.
Low stocks of wheat and poor grading
of receipts, together with fears of frost
in corn sections, sustained quotations
when a decline would have been imme
nent if full confidence were placed in
officials of returns of conditions.
Failures for the week numbered 205 in
the United States against 193 last year
and 22 in Canada against 18 a year ago.
BRADSTREET’S REVIEW.
New York, September 12.—Bradstreet’s
tomorrow will say:
Taken as a whole foreign trade is still
expansion In volume because north and
northwestern markets report unabated
activity, eastern Jobbing is as active as
heretofore and the south reports more
doing at nearly all centers. Frost held
off until the closq of the week when a
scare was worked up. Any deterioration
now, however, can only be as to quality,
because the crop seems Becure as to puan
tity. Industry is active, and except in
the eastern shoe manufacturing trade
the hard coal region nnd iron furnace i
work, the latter because of the coke
shortage, present outputs equal, and In
most cases exceed records. Despite the
fact that the new crops are only mov
ing In small volume and the usual activ
ity in anthracite coal is absent, the pinch j
of the car shortage is steadily growing.
That the trouble is not entirely one of
too few cars seems evident from the
heavy orders for locomotives given by
the leading railroad lines. Scarcity of
help Is noted in the south for picking
cotton, and at the north in public works.
Wege advices are not entirely absent, i
and there is talk of a general movement |
for better compensation on western rail
roads. Collections are uniformly satis
factory except at the south, but even
there improvement is noted at various
points, due to increased movement of
cotton.
One fact brought out in the reports ns
to activity in dry goods, clothing, shoes,
millinery and groceries is the very gen
eral demand for a higher class of goods
which manifests itself. Retail trade the
country over also seems better stimulat
ed, partly by cooler weather. From a
number of cities complaints come from
distributors that manufacturers are be
hind on orders.
The coin crop made satisfactory pro
gress toward maturity until Friday, w’hen
general fro3t was reported, without, how
ever, much effect cn prices. Altogether
government and private advices as t»
crops of cereals, fruits and tobacco are
quite encouraging for a large yihld.
The quality of oats will be below tne
standard owing to. the wet weather in
harvesting and much winter wneat ls\be-_
lowr grade. The reduced movements of
hogs to market Is apparently based on
few'er animals on the farm. Rice yields
will be liberal in the south, and sugar
cane is making good progress. Dry
w'eather will reduce the crop of citrus
fruits in Florida.
Another notable feature is the general
strength exhibited by prices. The small
est stock of wheat supplies since 18#S
is indicated both here and abroad. It has
been a weather market for corn, reports
of damage yet to come from frests in
ducing a fractional gain on the week. Ex
port business in wheat was large earh»
in the week, and the tendency of this
branch of business to expand at slight
concessions is notable.
Cotton goods are firmer, as much be
cause of the steady insistent demand as
because of the strength of the raw ma
terial, which closed l-16@%c below last
week. The situation In wool and woolen
goods Is very favorable to sellers. The
strength In hides is the keynote to the
leather and shoe markets. Building ma
terial in active and lumber leads In ag
gressive strength. A feature in keeping
with the advancing season is the higher
range of farm products. Eggs are higher
and butter is advancing on larger con

ENSLEY.
R. F. Berry Severs Connection With
Ramsay & McCormack Bank.
Ensley, September 12.—(Special.)—R. F.
Berry, who for three years past has
been cashier of the Bank of Ensley,
Ramsay & McCormack, has severed his
connection with that institution and will
return to Festus, Mo., about November
1. In leaving the Bank of Ensley, he has
encountered there the strongest opposi
tion that perhaps has confronted any
man heretofore in the severance of busi
ness relations or connections for Ensley.
When it became known that his Inten
tions were to go, he was personally re
quested by a great number of disinter
ested business men to remain. In fact,
every inducement was offered him to do
so. After consideration, however, and
for the reason that his father preferred
that he return to Festus to take charge
of his affairs, he was compelled to de
cline to further fill the position, and his
detr^rmination to go home remained un
broken. For leaving Ensley it can be
said that one of (the best and foremost
business men of the town is gone; a
Targe property owner and an excellent
citizen will be missed in matters per
taining to the public welfare. He will
carry with him to his old home the kind
est wishes of the entire city, and it will
be confidently hoped that some Induce
ment may yet cause him to take up his
residence among us in the near future.
C. A. Nolan, president of the Nolan
Trading company, will fill the position
made vacant after November 1. Mr.
Nolan needs no introduction to the Ens
ley public and to the whole Birmingham
district, having come to Ensley from
*racy City, Tenn., before its growth be
gan. He did more, perhaps, than any
other man in Ensley towards laying the
foundation of the city that is now fast
becoming so Important. He has always
been in the front rank of those who
prompted Its Interest, and guarded its
welfare, and Is regarded a conservative
business man, well suited to the duties
that will soon devolve upon him.
Col. Alex M. Garber of Talladega, can
didate for attorney general of Alabama,
who is making his second race for this
office against Massey Wilson, w'as In
Ensley today and w'as introduced and en
tertained by his friends. He came to
Ensley at the Instance of a number of
prominent business and professional men
who have known him for years, and has
made a most favorable impression on all
those who met him.
The republican party of Beat 45 held
a very enthusiastic meeting in the city
hall last night, which was attended by
perhaps 100 or more of the leading re
publicans of this precinct. Speeches
w’ere made by a number of prominent
republicans and a plan of action for the
coming campaign was mapped out.

MR. WILSONMAKES
AN EXPLANATION
ANSWERS CARD BEING MAILED
FROM TALLADEGA ABOUT CASE
IN SUPREME COURT—DISCUSSES
CAMPAIGN METHODS.
To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
A cavd is being n.ailed from Talladega,
the home of Mr. Garber, throughout {Tie
state, headed, “Why Wilson should not
be nominated for attorney general.” The
card contains an extract from the de
cision in Scotch Lumber company vs.
Sage. This matter was answered by me
In a card to the Advertiser a few days
ago. a copy of which has been mailed to I
some of my friends throughout the state.
The transaction was an honest one, en
tirely satisfactory to every Interested
party to whom I owed any duty In the I
matter. I never represented the Scotch
Lumber compar.y In the litigation in any ]
manner at any stage of the case, or in
any matter out of which the litigation
arcse.
The card also refers to the invalidity of
the revenue act of 1898-9. because of a
defect in the House Journal, which it
was my duty as clerk of the house to
keep. The specific defect was the failure
of the official Journal to show concur
rence by the house in the conference re
port. As a matter of fact the report was
concurred in during the closing hours of
the session. The original memoranda
showed this. The confusion incident to
the closing hours of the session of the
legislature is common knowledge. The
wonder is that so few mistakes are made
at such a time. When I found the of
ficial Journal did not show the concur
rence I directed it to be inserted, to
make the journal epcak the truth. The
court *held that this was not effective
because r.ot made until after the adjourn
ment of the legislature and signing of the
journal by the speaker and myself. This
was a clerical error involving no wrong
whatever. When discovered, I did what
I could to correct It
In a seivice of eight years as clerk of
the house, this is the only error which
occurred in my office.
The cnly further comment that I desire
to make is that I am sorry the seco'nd
prfmary is not being conducted on the
high plane upon which the first campaign
was made, and I can but think that th*>
t »o zealous friends of Mr. Garber have
caused him to do that which under nor
mal conditions he would not have done.
1 have entertained and do now entertain
for Mr. Garber the very highest respect,
and when this campaign is over, whether
I am successful or not, I will have the
satisfaction of knowing that I have said
or done nothing to make me regret hav
ing entered the race. I have endeavored
to conduct my campaign in a courteous
and gentlemanly manner, and shall con
tinue to do so. I received 3500 more votes
In the first primary than any of my com
petitors, and earnestly ask my friends
to vote for me on Monday next.

tion of John Sanders’ brother, Luke San

meet all present In heaven. He made no
reference to the crime.

ger at 11:50, and life was pronounced ex
tinct by the physicians in attendance in
fifteen minutes.
The crime for which John Green San
ders paid the penalty today was the most
noted irf the history of Perry county. In
August, 1900, Road Overseer Mullen was
shot to death while working the roads a
few miles north of Marion by John Green
Sanders end Luke Sanders, w'ho were ,n
his squad. John Green Sanders was
seriously wounded in the affray. Luke
escaped but w'as captured in Arkansas
and brought back to Marlon. Race feel
ing was high for a time, and several
mobs were formed to lynch the negroes,
but trouble was prevented by cooler I
heads. Beth cases were fought hard In the
courts B. M. Allen of Birmingham wras

Woman Who Was Shot In Birmingham
Dies of Her Wounds.
Selma, September 12,—(Special.)—Last
night in a little house In North Selma,
commonly known as the "Sixth Ward,"
occurred the death of a negro woman
whose name could not be learned. About
four or five weeks ago she was shot five
times In the breast by a man with whom
she was living In Birmingham. The bul
lets did not do their work rapidly but In
the end caused their victim’s death. The
woman lived near ColllrtnC in Lowndes
county with her husband up to about two
months ago when she tired of him and
went to Birmingham to live. In a fit of
jealousy her paramour emptied a pistol
Into her body and was captured and now
rests in the Jefferson country jail.
When convalescent from her wounds
the woman came to Selmn and seemed to
be getting along as well as could be
expected. She wrote her brother who
lives near Colllrlne that Bhe wanted to
go to his house and he came In town
last night with a wagon to carry her out
there. He curried her back with him
but it was only her lifeless body. She
had expired a few minutes before he
reached the house in which she lived.

Mrs. FranR Grosvenor,
No. 212 Twenty-first St., Galveston. Tex.
ALVES TON, 1 EX.,
March IS, 1902.
For three years after my mar
riage I felt peculiar hearing-down
pains such as 1 had never expe
rienced before. I tried different
remedies but found it was only
money wasted. I then consulted
a physician who treated me for
two months and then said my
ovaries were diseased and that I
would never get well unless 1 had
an operation. I knew that would
mean that I would never have a
child and I dreaded the ordeal.
I changed physicians but found
this did not help me any. and I
was in despair.
My sister-in-law then visited
me and when I told her of my
trouble she said: “If you had
used common sense and Wine of
Caidui you would not have been
in such a pi ight." She had used
it in her own home and it had
carried her through three times
when she had children. I sent
for some at once and took it faith
fully and now find to my great joy
that it was all she claimed for it.
New strength and with it new
iiupe came nac* 10 me anu ii seemeu as u every aose gave me new Jite.
Within three months I was changed from a dragged out mortal weary
of life to a hearty, healthy woman full of ambition and life. No opera
tion was needed and better than all I became the mother of a little girl,
the pride and joy of the household. I have had two other children
since without a particle of trouble. 1 am well and never take any medi
cine but Wine of Cardui. I only write that other poor sick women could
know of this life-giving medicine and would take it without spending
time and money on doctors, who don’t cure.
WINE OF CARDUI, the simple
remedy which Mrs. Grosvenor
advises you to take has trans
formed her from a sink, discouraged
woman to the bright, nappy, healthy
person you see in this portrait. In
stead of languishing on a bed of sick
ness Mrs. Grosvenor is now equipped
for any duty of womanhood. There
are some chronic cases which no
medicine can cure but nineteen out
of every twenty sufferers today may
have the health Mrs. Grosvenor has
if they will only take the Wine of
Cardui treatment as Mrs. Grosvenor
took it. This vegetable Wine regu
lates the menstrual flow, making
this important function both health
ful and painless. The bearing-down
pains which make life a torture stop
when Wine of Cardui is used and
the terrible smarting pains and the
inflammation cease. Though pow
erful iu correcting the irregularities
of menstruation. Wine of Cardui is
a very mild medicine. Any woman
may take it without a doctor's super
vision, although doctors often give
it to their patients when their own
remedies fail. This Wine of Cardui
treatment is taken quietly at home.
No embarrassing private examina
tions or offensive operations are nec
essary. If you secure a bottle of
Wine of Cardui and begin taking it
today you will feci health returning
lief ore the month is up. Why not
secure a dollar bottle of Wine of
Cardui from your druggist at once?
Do not accept any other medicine
but the Wine of Cardui treatment
which Mrs. Grosvenor writes about.
