COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES.


 There is certainly al reawakened interest in industrial investments. At no time during the past twelve months has there been as many inquiries about locations in Birmingham of industrial enterprises as within the present month, and especially within the past few days. These rscsnt inquiries include the following industries: brass foundry, machine chop and foun- dry, a dynamite factory, shovels and min ing tools factory, and two others, which for prudential reasons are not referred to. Some of these are coming to Birmingham, ss the conditions required can be compiled with. sss.- The Commercial club has kept the city of Birmingham before the outside worldsin tue hope that when general conditions im- proved the benefits would accrue here as well, and the in oications are that this work is producing fruit in the desired results. The eyes of the industrial world have been on Birmingham, closely scruiinizing her claims, and now we are going to have the benefits.
 any property owner has a building adapted to man ufacturing purposes that he would put into a good manutacturing plant as a site, a service will be rendered the city by listing 1t with the Commercial club. 1 here are two or three tirst-cass manufac-
  BiIm ngbsm il met by anything like a liberal spirit in the way of location.
 
 One of Birmin ham s oldest plants Is ar- ranging to enlarge its capital and capacity, and the question of county aud city ex- emption rom taxation will go far towards bringing about favorable termination to pending negotiations for this purpose
 
 Another one of Birmingham most re. lia ble enterprises needs about s5000 addi- tional capital to take on epeciai line ca pablo of wide development. The right man with that amount of money can secure job at good salary, with safe and prohta- ble investment for his money. For partic- ulars call at the club.

 All portions of the state have been heard from regarding the attendance on the Ala bama Commercial Association except tho black belt. Anniston, Montgomery, Troy, Mobile, Florence, evergreen, Decatur, Cullman and a number of other localities are sending representatives. but nothing as yet from Selms, Demopolis or that section.
