COXESAYS COLLECTION SIN ALABAMA SHOW GREAT IMPROVEMENT!

Coxe Says Collections In Alabama
Are Showing Marked Improvement
Bristol Wholesaler In Birmingham Says Business Conditions Very Much
Improved—Thinks Crop Diversification Movement One of Greatest
Things Ever Started—Says Alabama Farmers Should Feed Her People
W- H. COXE of Bristol, Tenn.,
was a visitor to Birming
A ham Saturday and was
registered at the Morris. Mr. Coxe
was optimistic as to general conditions
and said that in Alabama, especially,
did he expect to see an improvement
in business; in fact, an improvement
already is to be noticed. Mr. Coxe
is president of the Coxe Hat company
at Bristol; president of the King
Clothing company at Knoxville and is
largely interested in several wholesale
concerns that send salesmen in this
territory from Bristol.
He maid fhnf flic collection* with

3 would mean more for the *ta»**.s that
| adopted It than any other one thing.
"The main trouble with the south,”
he said, "and what is really, in a meas
ure, responsible for the condition of
some months past, is the fact that
the people here have been long accus
| tomed to long-time credits. The con
I Sumer expects it from his merchant
and the merchant, in turn, expects it
from the .jobber and manufacturer.
) This makes it harder for manufactur
ers to sell goods in the south on a
' profitable basis.
"However, our collecticfris in Alabama
have shown a marked improvement
1 within the past three weeks, and we
expect to see an improvement in busi- ,
ness.
! "The crop diversification movement is
j the greatest possible thing that has
c yet happened to the south. There is
no reason why Alabama should not
grow enough grain to put bread in the
mouths of its people; this state also
should grow cattle in sufficient quan
tity to supply its people with meat,
i For trucking. Alabama can't be beat
by any state in the union, so far as
the quality of the land is concerned.
Its people must awake to their oppor

a movement to educate crop diversifi

“Business in my section of the coun
try is beginning to assume a more
roseate hue, and conditions very near
ly normal soon will obtain, I believe.
Our sales rorcc will be augmented this
spring and summer and we intend to
go out and get business. The business
is here to get. the credit of Alabama
merchants will be unimpaired by vir
tue of the crop diversification move

things hum in our line of the game.”
Mr. Coxe is a former traveling sales
man, and is well known in the territory.
He is genial and creates a pleasant im
pression wherever he goes. He is not
given to "spouting off" and his remarks
anent business can be taken at their
face value. If you think business is bad,
don’t include Mr. Coxe’s companies in
your general condemnation of affairs.
PEACE TALK $ NDS
Close of Week Showed Net
Gain of About 40
Points
New Orleans, March 7.—Peace talk
played an important part in the co«
ton market last week, sending prices |
up when the market appeared to be
under bearish control and about to go
in to a marked decline under the in
fluence of the stand the European al
lies made toward Imports by Germany
and the almost prohibitive insurance
rates. On Tuesday prices were 4 to 11
points under last week’s close but a
c;uick recovery from this level was
made, the high levels being made on
the last session of the week. The close
was at a net gain of 40 to 42 points.
Exports for the week were large, de
spite the restrictions on shipping and
amounted to 354,615 bales which com
pared with 687,000 bales for the entire
month of March last year. The effect
of these figures was intensified by re
ports of a large spot short Interest In
Texas.
Preparations for planting were
watched with great interest.
This week the situation abroad is
bound to play a prominent part In the
cotton market. Toward the end of last
week it was rumored that the allies
were about to give up their detei
initiation to regard cotton as contra
band of war. Any such official an
nouncement would, of course, be fol
lowed by a stronger market as it. would
point to an uninterrupted export move
ment. So far as can be seen now, how
ever, high insurance rates are. go ng
to be a factor to be reckoned with.
The new crop is beginning to loom
up as a strong influence because of
I the signs of a material cut In acre
I cge. Any evidence that comes to light
to confirm these signs will have a
strengthening effeot on the market,
! particularly on the fall months, al
though bears are pointing out that
Ihe fall months already are at a con
siderable premium over the tsummet
months, whereas they usually stand at
a discount.
Perfection Far Off
From the Washington Star.
“So you went on record for prohibi
tion?”
“Yes." replied the man with the an
cient silk hat. “I’m ready to vote for
It. But l can’t help hoping that there’ll
be a deadlock or an Investigation or
something to cause the usual delay.”

ACTIVITY SHOWN IN
The Railroads Are Plaeing
Orders With Steel
Companies
New York, March 7.—Increased ac
tivity in structural work marked the
steel trade last week. Contracts closed
called for nearly 43,000 tons of fab
ricated steel, including 13,000 tons for
the New York city elevated railroad
extension, 9000 tons for the Columbia
river highway bridge and 9500 ton-^
for the Clark street viaduct at Cleve
land, O.
The railroads bought about Go.000
tons more rails, including 20,000 tons
for the Northern Pacific, 20,000 tons
for the Illinois Central—the latter so
be rolled in Canada—6000 tons for the
Burlington, 10,000 tons more for the
New York Central system, 250 ) tons
additional for the Great Northern, 2000
tons more for the Pennsylvania, 1500
tons for the International Great North
ern and 3000 tons light sections for
Russia.
Specifications against contracts were
larger and as a result the United States
Steel corporation increased the output
of ingots to nearly 69 per cent ct to
tal capacity. Orders booked by the sub
sidiary companies in February were
larger than previously' reported and
in consequence it is Indicated that un
filled orders increased about 200,00a
tons last month.
The American Steel and Wire com
pany advanced extras on galvanized
wire products $B per ton. Although
bars, plates, shapes and bands were
advanced $1 per ton to $1.15, base

and shapes are not being maintained.
The export trade continued satisfac
tory: some large and many small or
ders were placed.
ANNISTON

New' York, March 7.—(Special.)—In years
when our foreign trade was normal the
statisticians and experts w'ere fond of
estimating the money value of our cot
ton harvest and then comparing the fig
ures with their estimates of the money
value of the hay harvested ir\ the same
year It frequently happened that the
difference was only a few thousand dol
lars in an aggregate of $5,000,000 or $6,000,
000. Sometimes hay was found to have
brought a larger money return than cot
ton. Sometimes it was the other way.
But It was commonly said that the money
value of the hay crop of the United
States and that of the cotton crop in
any given year, or at least in recent
years, was approximately the same.
The unfortunate complications occas
ioned by the European war which for a
time prevented the export of cotton from
the United States did not arise to Inter
fere with the sale and delivery of hay
to belligerent and neutral nations. There
fore, It will probably be found by the
end of the present fiscal year that the
money received by American farmers
for hay is larger In amount than money
received by the cotton planters. The ex
port of hay both from the United States
and Canada has passed almost unnoticed.
Public Interest was centered in the ex
ports of wheat and other food products.
It was forgotten that France and Eng
land were buying many thousand horses
in the United States, and were also util
izing all the horses that could be spared
from the industries of France and Great
Britain. Horses and cattle must be fed.
There have been recent intimations from
Germany that forage for domestic pur
poses, not for the army, should be ad
mitted into Germany.
Yesterday there was placed upon ves
sels at the port of New York for ship
ment, principally to titalv and in lesBer
amounts to France and England, a great
quantity of compressed hay. The ship
ment entailed the entire capacities of
three steamers. This is only one of many
shipments, and there is to be continuous
export of hay until the war closes.
Italy at the present time is purchasing
hay even In larger amounts than are
England and France. So far as England
Is concerned, this may be due to the
fact that Canada is exporting hay in
enormous quantities to England. In w’ell
informed commercial circles in this city
the report, well authenticated, has pre
vailed for some days that one Canadian
firm alone is under contract to ship as
soon as possible 40,000 tons of hay to Eng
land. If one firm enters Into a contract of
this kind the inference is strong that
others must be engaged In the shipment
of hay from Canada to England. The
hay shipped to Canada will cost, includ
ing freight and Insurance charges, about
$30 a ton.
a Large contract
One New York firm whose occupation
is dealing in produce, entered into con
tract some weeks ago to furnish a con
stant supply of hay sufficient to feed 200,
000 horses. The contract makes It neces
sary to ship as frequently as possible.
Modern processes in baling hay into
great compressed bales facilitates the
movement of hay in large quantities. For
this hay payments are promptly made.
Yesterday morning a draft for approxi
mately $50,000 was paid by the represen
tatives of one of the nations which are
buying bay in the TTnited States, and
this is only orfe of the many payments.
American hay costs here about $24 a ton.
The cost to the importers will average
about $30 a ton, and as the tonnage may
amount to 1,000,000, some idea can be ob
tained of the money value of these ex
ports provided the war be continued
throughout this calendar year.
Twice before has the United States fur
nished large amounts of hay to belligerent
nations. England contracted at the time
of the Boer \v*tr for many thousand tons
of hay. At that time, the American com
mission merchants found it expedient to
ship, for the most part, Canadian bay.
That was because of tariff exactions at
that time. They bought thousands and
thousands of tons of Canadian hay,
shinned it from Canada to New York or
Boston in bond and then reshipped it
to South Africa. So also at the time of
the war between Japan and Russian,
Japan placed heavy orders in the United
States for hay, and as Japan had estab
lished in New York a credit of many mil
lions these purchases were paid for on
the spot.
The extraordinary demand which comes
from Italy for hay leads to a good deal
of guessing as to the ultimate destina
tion of the commodity. Of caiirse, it makes
no difference to the commission mer
chants where the hay goes. They are
paid promptly and they are well Insured.
But natuiall ythere is much conjecture
respecting Italy’s purpose in making
these purchases. Some are inclined to
United Commercial Travelers'
Semi-Monthly Meeting; Officers
| Are Elected For the Ensuing Year
DID the boys of the U. C. T.'s have
a good time at their semi-monthly
meeting Saturday night? Say, did |
it rain Saturday night?
That was one of the most enthusiastic
meetings ever held by Birmingham coun-j
ell. No. 172, United Commercial Travelers
of America. It was the occasion of the,
annual election of officers and the fol
lowing were chosen:
J. P. Oliver, senior councillor.
R. K. Kennedy, junior councillor.
A. J. Davis, secretary.
T. B. Marshall, conductor.
Iv. A. Callen, page.
W. F. Bridges, sentinel.
The executive committee is composed of
Thomas R. Epperson and A. W. Beck,
who will serve two years each, and O. D.
Andrews and C. E. Abram, who will
serve one year each.
J. P. Oliver and B. F. Wilkerson were
chose to act as representatives of the
local council at the annual meeting of
the grand council at Anniston in May,
with S. A. Mitchell and R. K. Kennedy
as alternates.
Following the election of officers sev
eral applications for membership were
acted upon, and the candidates initiated
into the mysteries of the order. Much
fun .and jolity prevailed during the in
itiatory exercises.
Alter the applicants for membership had
“got aeir vish” and were members of
the organization, a “Dutch’* lunch was
served, during which several short talks
were made, to the general effect that the
outlook for the year was exceptionally
bright for the U. C. T.'s. The newly
.elected offeers of the body made short
addresses, thanking the members for the
honors conferred upon them. It was late
when the last joke had been told and
the “boys" left the hall. The meeting
was voted one of the best held, and the
members are looking forward to the next
meeting with interest.
Now, just a word about that meeting
of the grand council, which will be held
at Anniston In May. This meeting is
held every year at some good Alabama
city and the U. C. T.’s gather in large
numbers from all parts of the state to
d’scuss matters affecting the traveling
man and his Interests. Legislation affect
ing travelers is taken up and whatever
is deemed necessary in regard to it is
done.
Tho grand council has a two-fold pur
pose
1. It is to discuss matters affecting the
traveling man and to remedy such
troubles as might be brought to its atten
tion.
2. It is to afford the members of the U.
C. T. an opportunity to meet their friends
and to spend a short vacation full of
good times.
T.ast year the meeting was held in
Selma, and it was stated at Saturday
night’s meeting that Anniston would have
to go seme” if she offered a better en
tertainment than did the residents of
Selma. However, an Annistonian, who
was present last night, said that Annis
ton not only would “go some,” but that
she would show the U. C. T.’s a better
time than they ever had enjoyed at any
grand council meeting.
Anniston has got her back up. She
lias no idea of letting a south Alabama
town, down in the cotton belt., put any
thing over on the coming city of north
Alabama. Anniston Intends to make Bir
mingham sit up and get some pointers
on entertaining a bunch of traveling sales
men. And, believe me, Mr. U. C. T.»
when any town shows Birmingham some
thing on entertaining a convention, you
can lay all your blue chips on a bet that
It’ll be “some” entertainment. Better
attend that meeting.
think that they show the magnitude ot
Italy's war preparations. Tills inference
is in part justified by the fact that Italy
has bought many horses ill the United
States. There is. however, a strong sus
picion that some part of this American
hay will be eaten by horses in Austria
and in Germany.
These exports tend to show how varied
and far-reaching are many of the con
tracts which have been made by belliger
ent and neutral nations with manufac
turers and with commission houses In the
United States.
The Harvests of Next Summer
If climate proves favorable, the Amer
ican grain harvest, especially of wheat,
of next summer and early fall should be
the largest ever garnered. One of the
bits of information which have come to
the financial district from the wheat belts
of the west is constantly referred to with
expressions of gratification. The report
is generally credited as accurate that the
farmers have now winter wheat upon 4.
UOO.OOO acres more than were ever before
devoted to that kind of crop. So also re
ports conn that the weather on the whole
has been especially favorable for winter
wheat. If the climate is benign through
out the late spring and early summer the
harvest of winter wheat should exceed the
phenomenal harvest of last summer, and
the quality should be as good as that of
the winter wheat of last year. An addi
tion of 4,000.000 bushels, basing the esti
mate upon the average production for re
cent years, to the wheat supply, that is to
say, 60.000,000 bushels in excess of the best
record heretofore made. With wreather
conditions all that is hoped for, there
should he a correspondingly large increase
in the acreage devoted to spring wheat.
A statement made by an excellent au
thority who 1ms recently spent some
months in Russia and who is familiar with
conditions in that empire may, if it bo
accurate, somewhat effect the export of
wheat next fall. This authority states
that if the Dardanelles be opened to Rus
sian vessels there will flow into Europe
an amount of grain simply stupendous. He
estimates that food products are now
awaiting export from southern Russia
of the money value of considerably in
excess of $660,000,000. Our own grain mar
ket must have had some intimation of
tills, for in no other way can the recent
decline for the quotations of wheat be
explained. *
EUFAULA
Eufaula, March 7.—(Special.)—The city
council of Eufaula has just passed an or
dinance embodying all the features of
the stringent new Alabama prohibition
laws. In fact, the new statute was copied
verbatim in the construction the local
ordinance which will cover the prohibi
tion in the city and within its police
jurisdiction also. The city aims in this
way to try all blind tiger cases in the
recorder’s court, and thereby reap any
fines that may be assessed as well as
putting the matter of the enforcement
of the law more completely within the
city’s control.
Funeral services were-held yesterday
afternoon at Baker Hill for the late Rev.
A. L. Ray, who died at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. J. T. Searcy, at
Clayton. Mr. Ray was a well-known
Baptist minister and had served numercfiji
churches in this section. He leaves a
widow and the following children: Mrs.
Searcy, Clayton; Mrs. C. A. Lee,""White
Pond; Mrs. Sue Norton, Abbeville; Mrs.
J. M. Lee, WHiite Pond; Mrs. W. Miller,
Webb; Miss Willie Ray, Baker Hill, and
Frank Ray, superintendent of the High
school at Blocton.
Funeral services were held here yester
day for Kirs. Robert Humphrey, who died
several days ago at Tuscaloosa, foliowt
ing a long illness. She is survived by
four sene and three daughters.
After an illness of two years, John D.
AVI!Mams died from the effects of a stroke
of paralysis at his home near Clayton.
He was 57 years of age and is survived
by a widow and nine children. He was

SPY DETECTED BY A
WELLKNOWN WRITER
Suspicions Aroused When
“Englishman” Wouldn’t
Talk English
Paris. March 6.—(Special.)— Madame Ma*
rle-Anne de Bovet, in time of peace a
well-known authoress, and Marquise d#
Rois-Herbert, now acting as nurse in a
hospital not so many leagues from Paris,
very cleverly spotted a spy some days
ago. A man in a British officer’s uni
form. driving a big motor car flying the
British flag .asked Madame de Bovet for
certain information, which did not appear
to have any very definite connection with
the Red Cross work in which he pro
fessed to be engaged. The soi-distant
officer spoke excellent French, but Mad
ame de Bovet, who knows our language
well, found it quite impossible to get a
word of English out of him. This strange
disinclination to speak what was presum
abl5r his own language increased Mad
ame de Bovet's suspicions. Not only did
she refuse to give him the information
asked for, but she discreetly warned the
authorities to keep an eye on her sus
pect. A few days later she learned, to
her very legitimate satisfaction, that her
man had l>een arrested in quite a dif
ferent and distant district on certain very
grave suspicions.
