Success of British War Loan
Steadies the Foreign
Markets
New* York. July 13.—The so-called war
ihares, together with allied industrials and
y, equipments, comprised the bulk of the
trading today. Highest prices dver record
ed wrere scored by Bethlehem Steel at
178%, American Can at 51%, New York
Airbrake at 106%, General Motors at 178,
Studebaker at 81% and Republic Steel pre
ferred 90. Other co-related issues made
gains of 3 to 4 points, and American coal
products added another 12% points to its
recent meteoric ascent, all of which it
later relinquished. United States Steel
was again the most active stock, being
In demand at steady though slight ad
vances on growing realization of better
ment in the steel industry.
Foreign exchange markets reflected in
a measure the success of the new British
wai loans.
Foreign selling of bonds was on a dimin
ished scale today, but a large part of
the trading was in United Stales 5's.
Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,820,
000.
United States bonds unchanged on call.

_________ I
Local Market Is Heavily
Overstocked—Forty Cars
on Team Tracks Awaiting j
Disposal
Business in the wholesale district be
came more brisk yesterday and ship
ments began to arrive more freely.
Prices are reported unchanged, and
the cotton and grain markets hold firm.
Large quantities of alfalfa and John
son grass are being received in Bir
mingham each week, and a number of
cars are expected to arrive here in the
next few days.
Additional supplies of fish arrived
here yesterday and the scarcity' of
snapper is entirely relieved.
Poultry and eggs began to arrive In
heavy shipments and dealers^,re now
well supplied.
Peaches are not quite so abundant on |
the Birmingham market as was the
case several days ago, though several |
large express shipments have been re- ,
ported this week.
Watermelons are now exceedingly j
plentiful and the local market Is over
stocked. It Is estimated that there are j
now fully 40 cars of melons on the team
track here awaiting disposal.
Melons are going by the carload at
less than 6 cents in many instances f.
o. b. Birmingham. It is stated that
Florida shippers have ceased to place
consignments here, as it seems impossi
ble to get the freight out of this com
modity. Most shipments are being re
ceived from Alabama and Georgia
points. Among the arrivals of melons
from Alabama yesterday was one car
from Cowarts and another from Bam
son.
Among other shipment* of produce

day were:

RALLY IN COnON
Close Was Steady at a Net
Advance of One to Six
Points
New York. July 13.—The cotton market
was much less active today and prices
were steadier on covering of shorts and
scattered buying for a reaction. The close
was very steady at a net advance of 1 to
6 points.
Liverpool was lower than due, and after
opening steady at a decline of 3 to 5
points, the local market sold about 7 to
11 points lower under liquidation by some
of yesterday's late buyers and a renewal
of scattering pressure which was proba
bly inspired by a favorable view of the
weather map and the failun* of European
news to confirm yesterday’s late rumors
of developments in the Dardanelles. Liv
erpool was a very good buyer on the de
cline here, however, while New Orleans
showed considerable firmness and pieces
soon turned steadier. Demand tapered
off somewhat after the close of the Eng
lish market had shut out p.rb’trage busi
ness, and fluctuations became somewhat
irregular, but the market showed con
tinued steadiness on the average, and
prices worked gradually higher until ac
tive months were selling 9 to 12 points
above yesterday's closing figures. A few
stop orders were uncovered just above 9
cents for October, or about 25 points up
from the recent low level and after their
execution, the market eased off a few
points from the best under realizing, or
renewed liquidation, but again advanced
near the close. The ilrmer tone in the
stock market, doubtless encouraged the
rally In cotton, while liquidation was much
less in evidence than recently and there
was little or no indication of increased
southern spot offerings. Irade wai mod
erate, buyers at times seemingly trying to
undo straddles or hedges. Exports today.

Dry Goods Market
New York, July IS—Cotton goods mar
ket generally quiet today, but there wai
a moderate amount of bueinesB placed
bv the manufacturing trades and jobbers.
Yarns dull. Men's wear lines are being
prepared for formal opening next week.
Hubbard Bors. & Co.’s F.etter
New York, July 13.—Liverpool regarded
the recovery here yesterday as a natural
reaction and did not fully reepond so
that the traders agreeing with that view,
were sellers at the opening. No further
pressure to liquidate left the market bare
of sellers and prices recovered some 20
points from the lowest level on a cover
ing demand following Wall street sources.
This advance was not sustained, as tha
locai trade saw no evidence of any change
In the factors which have made them
bearish. It is evident, however, that the
situation in the exchange market is be
ing taken In hand by the bankers in
anticipation of the offerings of cotton bills
later on in the season. The local trade
does not regard the complaints of weevils
and of increasing heat on a sappy plant
as of any moment as yet, or of suffi
cient importance to disturb their bearish
views.
Rather Unconcerned
From the Louisville Herald.
Barber (to sleepy customer)—I can’t
shave you unless you hold your head
up!
Customer—All right, thsn, give me a
haircut!

To the School Teachers
of Birmingham
and of Northern Alabama
An Invitation and an Opportunity!
The Age Herald lias inaugurated a Booklovers’ Prize Contest, and
you are especially invited to take part.
Your participation in the contest involves no expense.
There is no obligation on your part to buy books.
You are already familiar with, many of the great books contained in
the Booklovers’ Home Library offer; you know the notable characters
which people these masterpieces of literature, and you know the famous
authors who wrote them.
That is all that is necessary to take part in the contest and carry off
a valuable prize.
.lust write a paper not exceeding three hundred words in length
about any of these great authors or about any of the brilliant master
pieces or about any of the well-known characters given to ns in the
books—and send it to the Booklovers’ Contest Editor, Age-Herald.
It’s very easy, simple and interesting, and will prove enjoyable as
well for real booklovers.
For readers of The Age-Herald who do this, we have set apart six
attractive prizes to he awarded to those submitting the six best papers. v
The first prize will be a complete set of NELSON’S ENCYCLOPEDIA
IN TWELVE LARGE OCTAVO VOLUMES.
^ The second prize will be the COMPLETE BOOKLOVERS’ HOME
LIBRARY OF THIRTY-SIX VOLUMES, including the six-volume
sets of Hugo, Dickens, Kipling, Dumas, Stevenson and Shakespeare.
The third prize will be three sets or eighteen volumes of the BOOK
LOVERS’ HOME LIBRARY, the winner to seleet any three sets de
si red.
The fourth, fifth and sixth prizes will be one set or six volumes of the
BOOKLOVERS’ HOME LIBRARY, winners to have choice of set do- |
sired. ' • i
There are no greater books in modem literature than the famous vol
umes which make up the Booklovers’ Home library. To write about
them is not only a maiter of keen enjoyment, therefore, but it is also
helpful in the highest degree.
Everyone should read Dickens, Dumas, Hugo, Stevenson, Kipling and
Shakespeare —and read them again and again.
The first time you read them you are interested and amused, but it
is in the second and third reading that you can best study these authors,
their mastery of plot eonstruction, style and narrative.
The best way to do this is have these great books in your own library,
where you can take them up for either a half hour’s pleasure or an en
tire evening’s enjovment
The Age-Herald book offer is intended solely to stimulate the reading
of good literature and to supplement the reading of a good family news
paper by the reading of good books. The benefits you derive from these
hooks will be a material advantage to you in many ways, and one of
these is the enjoyment and pleasure of taking part in our Booklovers’
Prize Contest.
Again we invite in the most cordial manner the school teachers of
this city and vicinity to take part in this contest and to avail themselves
of the summer vacation to do so with pleasure and profit.
