IS LOST AT CLOSE
Little Attention Paid Mexi
can Situation—Steel Rises
Point or More
*
N< \v York, October 15.—For a time
today some of the ground lost by the
Block market on Tuesday when acute
weakness in Southern Pacific and Can
adian Pacific precipitated a general
selling movement, was retrieved but in
tlie final hour another selling move
ment wiped out much of the recovery.
The early improvement seemed to be
predicated largely on the operations of
tlie trading element, whose methods or
mental processes in these days of pro
fessional markets defy analysis.
Little attention was paid to the Mex
ican situation and conditions abroad
were again uncertain. London’s mar
ket was HOHjewhat confused, although
the settlement there was concluded
without strain, but Berlin a*ain wras
weak. London’s prices for our secur
ities were generally higher and that
market bought 15,000 '"shares here,
mainly United States Steed and Coppers.
Tlie local movement embraced a va
riety of industrials, Peoples Gas gain
ing three points on announcement of
increased dividend. Steel common and
preferred. American Telephone and j
such speculative specialties as United j
States Rubber, Westinghouse and local
tractions rose a point or more.
New Haven was conspicuous among |
tlie railways for its 2-point gain, i
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Can
adian Pacific, American Can and In
ternational Harvester were heavy.
The local money market was inclined
to harden on a better inquiry for 50
and 90-day accommodations, although
rates were nominally unchanged. Bonds
were Irregular with some decline in
speculative issues. United States cou
pon 2s rose V» cm call. Total sales, par
value, $1,800,000.

$19,000 Increase
Montgomery, October 15.—(Special.)
Receipts of tiie state motor vehicle de
partment for the fiscal year ending
September 30, last, were $81,372, ac
cording to an annual report just is ,
sued by Thomas W. Bradford, chief1
clerk of the department. The receipts
for last year represent an increase
over the preceding- year of approxi
mately $19,000.
For the last quarter of the fiscal
year the total receipts were $3278.40,

the fact that most of the licenses and
registrations hud been purchased earl
ier in the year.
The total receipts for the year will
be apportioned among the state, coun
ties and cities. The state receives 60
per cent of the total receipts and the
cities and counties receive 40 per cent,
divided equally between them.
The city of Birmingham for the last
quarter of the year receives nearly six
times as much as any other municipal
ity in the state. The amount appor
tioned to Birmingham for the quarter
was $1396.80, while Jefferson county
received $149.20. The amounts appor
tioned to the remaining cities and
counties of the state for the last quar
ter varied, $1.20 being the smallest
amount to be apportioned to any coun
ty. Mobile received $241 as its share,
while the county of Mobile received
$53.80.
During the past year Mr. Bradford
and Max Porterfield, assistant clerk in
the office, have rendered the state ef
ficient service in collecting automobile
licenses and it is mainly due to their
efforts that so large an increase was
shown.

BOTTOM FIGURES
REACHED IN WHEAT
Campaigning by Bears Car
ries Market Under Pre
vious Low Price
Chicago, October 15.—Active campaign
ing by bear leaders carried the wheat
market, today sharply under the sea
son’s previous low' price, although the
record for depression had been made
only the day before. The close was weak
at practically the bottom figures reached,
%c to %@%Q Off, compared with last
night. Other leading staples, too, all
showed declines—corn oats "sfdlc
to lVfcc and provisions Tft&loc.
Predictions that, wheat would go as
low as 75 cents a bushel because of the
tariff changes formed one of the ele
ments that were used to influence the
market. A liberal increase of the world s
available supply came into play also
and there was fresh evidence that no
export demand w^as likely to relieve the
burden due to accumulating domestic
stocks. 1
Big purchases on the decline brought
prices back about midday to nearly last
night’s level but the market collapsed
again. The temporary upturn was due
in part to a falling off in primary re
biiBhels less than a year ago.
Corn went down chiefly as the result
of a selling drive based on talk of Ar
gentine imports being able to compete
with Iowa shipments in Kansas. The
line weather added to sentiment in favor
of lower prices. At the decline, though,
commission house demand overcame con
siderable of the loss.
Liquidating sales forced oats down
worse than any of thff- other cereals.
The reason lay In continued free offer
ings from Canada.
Lower values for hogs weakened pro
visions. Packers gave the market but
little support.

Council Acts Favorably on
Report of Fire Chief
Blakely
Sima. October 15.—(Special.)—The regu
| lar session of the Selma council, which
was held Monday night, was a busy one
and considerable business which came be
fore the body was disposed of. Dur
ing the meeting Chairman Henry Frane
Uch of a -special committee which had
been appointed to make an Investigation
of a recent Report by Fire Chief Blakely
regarding the extending of the city water
mains into the extreme northern portion
of the city was read. The report was a
favorable one, and was adopted, and the
council ordered the water commission to
begin the work of extending tlie mains
as early as possible. The extension of the
water mains to the new part of the city
will give the property owners adequate
fire protection in the future.
Ordinances which had been revised and
calling for the paving of Hinton ami
Hogan alleys in the business district of
the city were read. The contract for this
paving work will be awarded at the next
meeting of the council, and the improve
ment work Is expected to start soon there

COTTON MARKET !
STEADY YESTERDAY!
Prices Close at Advance.
Offerings Not So
Good
■
New York, October 15.—The cotton mar
ket was steadier today on covering and
trade buying, with prices closing at a
net advance of 2 to 10 points. Offerings
were neither as good nor as aggressive
as recently and there seemed to be some,
fresh buying on apprehension of lower
temperatures in the southwest, reports of
lss active spot offerings from the eastern
belt and a crop estimate of 13,500,000 bales
by a member of an international house.
Trading was not active but part of the
demand appeared to come from large
spot houses and there were probably some
support from reactionists who felt that
the market was entitled to a rally after
the recent, setback of over a cent a pound
from the high records of the season.
Fables w'ere lower than due and the
early weather map was considered more
favorable than expected as temperatures
were not low enough to cause any serious
apprehension \as to the immediate wel
fare of the plant. The opening here
was better than suggested by the show
ing of Liverpool and after starting un
changed to 3 points lower the market
quickly rallied. Considerable cotton was
encountered, some 6 to S points above
tiie closing figures of last night and
slight reactions followed, but. the mar
ket soon firmed up again on the sup
port from trade sources, renewed cover
ing and reports that southern selling was
fnuch lss active than yesterday. Ac
tive months sold 14 to 16 points net high
er during the afternoon, closing a few
points off from the best under realizing.
The talk around the ring did not indi
cate that the bullish crop estimate is
sued during the early trade had been
generally accepted, but It was supposed
to have checked the tendency of tin*
trade toward increased crop view’s and
the market may have been influenced in
the late trading by rumors that some,
of the big spot houses were talking high
er prices and that some of last week's
sellers were taking profits on a theory
that the speculative long interest had
been liquidated sufficiently to strength
en the technical position of the market.

Mullet Slumps One Cent the
Pound—Fish Market
Good
t'ocoanuts and chestnuts are now on
Morris avenue in sufficient quantities
to justify placing these commodities in
the quotation list. The price on chest
nuts is 10 cents u pound and the cocoa
nuts are selling for $5.50 a bag. The
demand is good for both products and
the supplies are well abreast. Rutabaga
turnips are also on the list now and
are quoted at 2 cents a pound. The de
mand is brisk.
The only change in the fish market
is tlie price on mullet. It was lowered
t cent on the pound yesterday. The
demand is fine and good supplies are
the rule.
In the grain market there is no
change. The brisk business that has
been so noticeable for two tfeeks past
cqntinues to be in evidence and the
dealers are all talking optimistically.
Corn is still a little weak but prices re
main stationary.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.’s Letter
New York, October 15.—(Special.)—Al
though the Liverpool market was lower
It did not show the same leading decline
as it has during the past fortnight. Spin
ners were buying qultely in that market
on such a scale as to ubsorb the offer
ings.
We opened a shade lower but W'ith a
different undertone, which in turn was
finally found to be based on a similar
demand here. This lead to the buying
by one operator with close relations with
many large mills; others followed, caus
ing an advance of some 12 to 15 points
before the movement was checked.
If this demand continues from spinners
it will absorb the heavy offerings from
the Atlantic states which has done much
to cause the recent decline.
Declines Not Well Main
tained—Offerings Are
Scant
New Orleans, October 15.—The cotton
market had q good undertone today, al
though during a large part of the session
the ring was dull and inactive. Declines
were not well maintained, oferings were
not as liberal as they have been and a
moderate amount of fresh buying for long
account put prices up In the face of good
weather and reports of an easier spot
market, which were partly borne out by
the reduction of one* eighth fn the quota
tions of the local spot market. Buying
Increased after publication of a private
crop estimate of 13,500,000 bales.
The opening was steady, unchanged to
2 points down, compared with the olo»»
of yesterday. Liverpool was not as high
as expected and the weather map wan
very favorable. First prices were the
lowest for some time when buying fur r
both acounts made its appearance. This
pflees up about 10 points. The official
detailed weather reports were decidedly
favorable ai\d private accounts from the
belt stated that farmers were taking the
utmost advantage of present weather con
ditions and were even picking cotton 1"’
moonlight. This put prices down to the
lowest of the day, 3 points finder the last
quotations of yesterday. Several price
movements of about 10 points up and down
followed this, but late In th^P*^ssion the
market hardened and went to 17 points
over yesterday’s closing level. The close
was steady at a net Tls*3 of 13 to 17
points.
