Birmingham vs. Cleveland, O.

MT. Maclin Sloss goes to Chicago to- morrow in the interest of the Birmng- ham Business Mems club of this city. In conversation with an Age-Herald re- porter on yesterday afternoon, MT. Sloss said that his sole object in going to the western metropolis was to see the monied men of that city for purely advantageous motives. When he arrives in Chicago MT. Sloss will attempt by facts and fig ures to show that Birmingham, as an iron manufacturing center, is superior to any city in the United States, Cleveland, O., not excepted. He will demonstrate the fact that Birmingham can make iron at $5.50 per ton, which figure cannot be met by any other manufacturing city in the United States. MT. Sloss impression is that the fight for supremacy is between Birmingham and Cleveland He will also tell the business men of that city of dis covery in this section of phosphate beds which will wipe out the ifs" in steel making in this district. He also said that Birmingham makes for $2 less per ton the same quality of iron as that made in England.

What the Easter Egg Brought Forth to Birmingham


enough to do to occupy our entire time with that"
 MT. Berlin further stated, that in con nection with MT. Samuel Adams and MT. J. H. Hayes, his company owned the Carbon Valley coal property with paid up capital of $200,000
 When asked for his impressions of the North Alabama district, he said:
 Il am charmed with the climate and the genial hospitality of the people of Alabama, and believe there is grand future in store for this section There are so many opportunities here for safe and profitable investment that they are. bound to be utilized when they become generally known
 This company has leased several large tracts of ore lands on Hamilton creek, in Franklin county, with a view of estab- fishing a number of large ore washers, with total capacity of about thousand or fifteen hundred tons per day.
 MT. Samuel Adams of South Bethle- hem. Pa, one of the members of the new company has leased the w. l.. Chambers residence in the park, one of the most modern and handsome resi- dences in the city, and will move his family here from Pennsylvania about the 1st of May.
 Mr. Henry Adams will have charge of the furnaces, and his brother, MT. Joe Adams, will have charge of the mining interests.
 General repairs on the property will be commenced at once, and in the mean time the furnaces will be stocked up pre- paratory to blowing them in.
 At the annual meeting of the Sheffield Land, Iron and Coal company this week MT J. T. Schley was elected president, and MT. F. B. McFyre secretary and treasurer.
 Rather novel sight was presented on Montgomery avenue this afternoon, and attracted the attention of all on this beautiful thoroughfare. An old darky had hoisted his house upon couple of wagons, which were coupled out quite lengthy, and by the aid of four mules was moving it from the south to the north side of the city without even re- moving the doors from the hinges. The old darky had evidently come to the conclusion that it was cheaper to hoist his house on wheels and thus move 1t to the desired place than 1t was to tear down and rebuild again. He drove leis- urely through town whistling familiar air, and looked as unconcerped as though his manner of house moving was nothing out of the ordinary.

BUSY SHEFFIELD
WILL BE THE GLAD PHRASE HENcEfoRTH.
Her Tall Chimneys Will Smoke and Her Silent Wheels Will Hum Again-Jasper
 Takes New Life, Too.

Sheffield, April 20.-Not since the boom days have the people of Sheffield felt so hopeful over the future outlook of the "Steel-Crowned City" as they do now.
 The Sheffield Coal. Iron and Steel com pany, recently formed by the Pennsyl-, vania capitalists, mention of which was made in the Age-Herald some weeks ago in regard to the purchase of the property. has leased the entire first floor of the First National bank building where the main offices have been established. The purchase money has been paid and the purchasers are now in possession of the property, which consists of the three large Call furnaces of this city with all tracks, rights and privileges connected thereWith, W,00O acres of mineral lands in Walker, Win ston, Jefferson and Fayette counties; the celebrated Gamble and Elliott coal mines near Jasper and the 390 coke ovens at Jas per, formerly owned by the Towniey Coal and Coke company. The original cost of this property was $7,443,6l9. The company will be divided into two depart ments-the iron and steel department at Sheffield and the coal and coke depart ment at Jasper, with general headquar- ters at Sheffield.
 In response to the question: Will the property be put in operation?" MT Berlin. one of the principal purchasers, says;
 Tt would not be wise in us to allow this property to remain idle. We have bought it for the purpose of operating it, and not for speculation. would like to say in this connection, that there is no syndicate of any kind interested with us in this pur chase. We have bought the property with our own money and will control it.'
 Mir Berlin was asked if there would be any store or commissaries connected with the business and in reply. he said:
 We say. emphatically, mol We will pay our employees in cash, which will af ford them the opportunity to purchase their supplies from the local merchants direct. We will issue no tickets of any kind. We are strictly in the iron. steel and coal business, and expect to have

MASTER OF THE SITUATION.
The Standard Oil Company Drawing in Its
 Speculation Dead,

Pittsburg, April 20.-The Standard Oil company reduced the purchasing price of credit balances at their agencies to $2.25 this morning. This is 15 cehts less than it paid yesterday and 35 cents less than the price of Thursday. This still further demonstrates the fact that the monopoly will fix the price of crude oil, and that those who trade in any of the outstanding certificates are taking quite a risk if they think they can make a price that the Standard will have to fol- low. This reduction caused another slump in the exchange prices. May opened at $2.20 and gradually dropped to $I97, the latter price being the close. Not single trade was reported on the local exchange.
 At oil City the trading was also very light, the market decling to $1.97 on the few transactions made.
 The Standard bought all credit balances k offered at $2.25 today, and some certifi- scate oil on the Oil City exchange as low as $19S This also goes to show some people do not care about holding certifi- ca tes at present for higher prices while ethe Standard is reducing purchasing price. The stand taking by the Standard in the last few days will surely stop fspeculation in certificate oil Heretofore producers would demand a certificate for reach 1000 barrels run in the pipe lines. I The certificates were then placed in the \ ha nds of broker on the exchange who would sell it for better price than that offered at the Standard purchasing agencies. Now the exchange prices are so serratic that instead of asking for certificates hoping for better prices on the exchange, the producers will do busi- ness with the monopoly at whatever price 1t considers oil is worth. This will kill off all speculation for without these certificates, and the Standard now owns . hull af than1 there to speculate with that represents any actual value.

ing a complete cure. But this is only one of a great many cases l could name from the long list on my books.
 As to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription believe it will cure the great majority of womb troubles. I consider the Favorite Prescription the greatest friend of woman that has ever been invented. Last fall ! had patient thirteen years old who had cough that had baffled the skill of two eminent physicians, and l prescribed the Favorte Prescription, and it cured the cough entirely in three weeks, and effected thorough revolution in the girls general health, If mothers, when their daughters are puny, would give this medicine they would raise healthy stout women instead ot frail creatures, misery to themselves and others.
 The cases have here named are but few of the great number I could give as testimonials to the efficacy of your reme- dies, had the time to write, and you to read. During thirty years of successful practice my experience enables me to say that for the diseases they are intended to cure Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry, Favorite Prescription, and Pleasant Pellets are the most reliable medicines l have ever prescribed.
 I must not fail to note that your medicines which have herein named have most ex- tensive range of application 10 diseased conditions, and l believe that every family should always keep a supply in the house. l Trusting that I may some day have the pleasure of meeting you, and asking the blessing of our Heavenly Father upon you and yours, l am, dear sir, yours truly"

speculators May Be Disappointed.

London April 20.--The Economist, com menting on the China=Japan situation, expresses the opinion that should China become an ally to Japan Russia would be the only power to receive a serious check Any alarm that is felt in Europe over such a contingency, the paper thinks, is premature, and the Economist also be- lieves that the fighting strength of Japan is greatly exaggerated
 Tn conclusion the paper regards the treaty of peace as outlined in the dis patches as evidence that the speculators in a sharp rise in silver will be disap- pointed owing to the easy terms grant, ed to China in the payment of the indem- nifty.
 The Statist believes that China could borrow the entire amount of the indem- nifty at or per cent.
