VERY ACTIVE IN THE SOUTH.
A sudden Rush of small Orders is Crowd-
ing the Furnaces,

ing the Furnaces,
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l
BIRMINGHAM, ALA. June 6.-The iron trade
has been very active during the week, but the
sudden revival is probably spasmodic. Small
orders from the Western markets have been
pouring in, and several furnaces in this dis
trict have sold all the iron they can make this
month. All orders coming in now are for June
delivery. The Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail-
road Company sold $500 tons during the week,
all for June delivery. These orders will be
filled from their Emsley City furnaces There
has been no change of prices but the sudden
rush of orders causes furnace men to hold
prices very firm and talk confidently of an
early advance. There have been no contracts
for July and August delivery made and no
iron is offered for those months at present
sold about as fast as made. Fully 60 per cent
of the iron that will be made this month has
already been sold and will be delivered as fast
as possible.
All the furnaces in the district are in blast
and the weekly output is 1900 to l6.0O0 tons.
Work has begun on two new charcoal furnaces
at Briarheld, Shelby county. They will be 70
tons capacity each, and will be completed by
December. Contracts have been awarded for
the erection of another l0Qton coke furnace at
Talladiga and 6O-ton charcoal furnace at
Syllacauga.
The new charcoal furnace at Bluffton has
been finished and is in blast. The Jacksonville
Land Company will build two coke furnaces at
Jacksonville, contracts having already been
awarded for the erection of one of them.
Steel making by the Henderson basic process
continues success, and the steel finds ready
sale In the market The company have already
made arrangements to double their plant.

Oil operators are not allowing the grass to
grow under their feet in the Charters, Mon
tour run and Forest Grove fields. The latter
has become of such importance that a buss
now meets trains on the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie Railway at Groveton to carry people to
Forest Grove. There have been no busters of
late in that field. and the old wells are still
doing good work. Several new ones are now
on the pay streak. The Enterprise well on the
Presbyterian parsonage ground is promising
well, and the congregation will probably find
the church self-supporting, as well as the
Lutheran Church at CHARTERS, the congrega-
tiou of which have good producer on their
property. The Young No.. 2 is almost COM

A VERY DECIDED Squirt.
The Books nre More Than Full and Advanced
Prices Have Resulted.


Prices Have Resulted.
FEPKCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH,
CINCINNATI, June 6.-Rogers, Brown & Co.
say: The last week has witnessed the most
active squirt we have had since the beginning of
the year. The heavy buying of few preceding
weeks resulted finally in an overflling of fur
mace order books, and on Saturday and Monday
several companies advanced prices and others
withdrew entirely from the market When
buyers finally became convinced that reports
as to the strong position of the furnaces were
genuine there was strong push to get iron for
forward deliveries Since Monday, however,
leading sellers have held firmly TO So cents per
ton advance and that has been paid for consid-
erable quantity of iron without objections.
Leading Southern companies have acted very
conservatiYely. not desiring to attempt any ad-
vance till their position was SO strong as to
leave no doubt about its being maintained
through the summer and fall. In Bessemer
iron and other products Of lake ores. there has
been an advancing tendency also. The whole
market looks stronger, and there is free dis
position to buy for actual needs. Spectators
have figured but little in the heavy purchases
made, though statements to the contrary are
current

RATHER BEAR1sH.

No Boomerangs In Local Securities, but
Declines In the Minority.
Stock trading amounted to very little yester-
day, and the feeling was bearish. Declines
were in the majority, though in all cases they
were for small fractions and possessed no
significance except to show that orders ''at the
market" are a scarce article.
Enterprise Savings, Wheeling Gas and La
Noria were stronger. Stocks making conces-
sions. as compared with closing quotations OF
the previous day were Central Traction. Pleas
ant Valley. Luster and Electric. The rest OF
the list was featureless. The future of Electric
depends upon the course that will be pursued
by holders. Anything like a general selling
break.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Rogers, Brown & Co. say:
Consumers in Chicago and the Northwest,
which is az all times a closely debated market,
have been slow to believe the reports from
other quarters of frmer and advancing prices.
The week. however, has removed all doubts on
this head, and there has been a general disposi-
tion TO take hold Most of the larger Inquiries
have been for longer forward deliveries which
many furnaces have positively declined TO take
unless at considerably better figures.
Buyers, however, ha,< been able for the
most part, to get what they wanted. Southeru
irous are up so cents to 81 per ton Lake Sune-
rIor charcoal iron is in active demand and ia
firm in tone, but no advance is noted. Ohio
softeners are wanted freely but i'm small lots
