BALTIMoRE, Oct. 9.-The Sun says q
foretaste of the developement of tho
iron industry in the South is given in
bids for the water works pipe at Allan
ia, Ca, opened a few days ago. The
lowest bid, $22.24 per ton, was by the
Howard Harrison Iron Company Of Bes
senmer, Ala. The next lowest, s 22. .95,
was by the Admission Pipe Work. Other
bids, giving only name of cities, were as
follows: Philadelphia, $25; Louisville,
$25.80; Cincinnatti, 1928; Philadelphia,
$2S.9l, and burlington, N. j., $S29.71..
Thus, with the exception of one Phil
adelphia concern, which was $2.7G high

a ton higher than Bessemer. company.
AS Atlanta has about 5000 tons TO buy
the difference in the whole bid is from
$500 to $4,000. Referring to this, the
Atlanta Constitution remarks: "a diff
ference of twenty-five per cent. is not
explained by the remoteness of North

Sample Of Rood Legislation.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. Get. 2.-It ap-
pears that an important omission was
made in the tariff bill as enrolled and
signed by the President. Section 30, the
internal revenue schedules, which was
originally stricken out by the Senate and
subsequently restored by the conference,
was completely omitted in the enroll
mcnt. This section provided for the al
lOWanCe Of drawback on smoking and
manufactured tobacco and snuff held in
unbroken packages in the hands of man
ufacturcs at the date when the reduc-
tions will go into effect. AS this is
January 18t, next, however there will
still be ample opportunity for Congress
at its next session to correct the error by
supplemental legislation.

H"t NHccying of the Standard Oil Com
pany magnates and producers is being
held here which may cause Il sensation
among Oil men. Oil brokers say that
the object Of the meeting is to effect Il
reconciliation between the Standard and
producers. The Standard is held to ac-
count for the break in the market and
the existing low prices. Producers claim
that oil is worth great deal more than
the selling price to-day, and that the
present condition of tho market does
not Justify drilling and getting the pro-
duction to market. The production for
September showed an increase Of 10000
barrels, and to this the Stadard attriU-
utcS the reduction in price.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 9.-The postal
authorities to-day seized the weekly
edition of the Atlanta Constitution,
which contained prize distribution
o11er TO It's subscribers to be settled by
a Christmas drawing. Abut 100000
papers got out before the seizure was
made, and the Northern edition Of 15,-
OOO IS detained. The paper offered to
give bond for any amount to cover any
verdict which might be rendered, but
the postal authorities refused to let the
papers go through the mails. The OBJ
Jectlonable feature consisted in the an
nouncement that it would distribute
prizes in its Christmas box, which
feature the Constitution, like many
other papers, has been running in con-
nectl0n with their weekly edition for
years. The postal authorities claim
that this violates the recently passed
anti-lottery law.
