TO ANNISTON PIPE WORKS
Supply Low, Though Renewal of Operations of Furnaces
 Will RepieniSh It.

Mr. J. K. Dimmick, general manager of the Anniston Pipe works, is in Birming- ham for day or so on business for his company.
 In conversation with an AGE HERALD reporter last night MT. Dmmick said he had just bought 4000 tons of Birmingham iron for his company. He said the An nis- ton Pipe works, one of the largest plants ofthe kind in the south. was running full time and had orders ahead which would keep them busy for several months. He said number of orders had been refused on account of their inability to fill them.
 The Anniston company manufacture va- rious kinds of pipe, the quality of which is very fine. A number of the largest cities in the United States have been supplied with their product, and in every instance they have given entire satisfa ction. All their product is made from Ala bama iron, !, nearly all of which is now purchased in the Birmingham district.
 THE IRON MARKET.
 There are indications of an improvement in the iron market, in fact the price of several grades of iron has advanced con- siderably in the past week or ten days: One or two grades are now selling at 50 cents a ton more than they were two weeks ago.
 The supply Of iron in Birmingham is not large.
 With rising marked and more furnaces going in blast and the labor troubles set tied, the Birmingham district will once hundreds of idle men will be given employ ment.

 It is an odd coincidence that the oppos- ing leaders in tho great Pullman boycott both began life at the bottom of tho ladder and in much the same way. Eugene V.
