To the Age-Herald:
 In the latter part of last week I took a business trip from Birmingham to Besse- mer and vicinity. Such a trip two years ago was not nearly so pleasing as now by half I have been familiar with that section for fifteen years or more. It is a pleasure to me to observe the very great change for the better, especially within the past two years. Two years ago. and back of that for several years, the city of Birmingham and it's wonderful sub urbs could be seen stretching away in broad streets and lengthening avenues for more than half the distance from Bir- mingham to Bessemer. Now many of those long avenues and streets have been planted in corn, with sweet potatoes, melon patches and luxuriant vegetable gardens mixed in; and such corn, too tall, dark and full of fine shoots and ears! On both sides of the Birmingham and Bessemer is corn-corn in every direction. Some will need but little rain to complete one of the finest crops of corn ever raised in this county. while much of 1t on the low lands is young, but very promising.
 1 also took little detour around from Bessemer by way of Pleasant Ridge Bap- tist church. Doomite and Woodward to Woodland crossing, and the marks of improvement and thrift were even more pleasing. Fine crops, new and tidy farm houses and barns, fiourishing orchards and vineyardsi
 A very great improvement has been made in the cultivation of the corn, po- tato and melon crop, and in fertilizing the crops, and this has made a corresponding improvement in the quality and quantity of these crops, especially corn. The crops generally show good cultivation for so much rain in the spring.
 The same can be said for the country from Birmingham to East Lake. l notice a number of young apple orchards, also better dwellings, barns and fences The peaches are poor-very poor. The need of rain was beginning to be felt, but yes- terday's showers will relieve the fears of the farmers greatly.
 One thing more-the starting up of the furnaces, shops and mines, and the rais- ing of wages seems to have quieted, in S measure the restlessness of the farmers. They generally express more confidence in the new posperity, and hear less sil- yer talk. Indeed, the silver talk around here seems to be mostly on the streets among men like myself. who haven't got much of the much-talked-of metal and not much to get 1t with.

IRON MARKET.

Cincinnati, O., July 22-All as poets of the iron market continue to look sound and promising, but so far as current business in pig iron is con cerned. 1t partakes of the midsummer spirit Sales the past week have been only moderate in volume, but prices are well sustained. Indeed offerings have been very light. There is d marked ab- sence of the hard pushing to secure new business, which has characterized all branches of the iron trade during the long decline of prices. Both furnaces and. mills, being crowded with orders and looking for better things in the fall. are not disturbing the summer rest Of buyers very much.

the producer confident, is the heavy con sumption; there is no doubt about that While all active furnaces are shipping their full output and stocks are being drawn up to the extent of 100000 tons a month, there is no sign that buyers are getting too much iron for current use. On the contrary, many are hurrying for ward shipments on contracts to prevent running out of raw material
 IL is quite natural that large consumers having heavy contracts for iron at prices ruling s,before the advance. should wait before placing further orders until very sure that the market will stand. This they are doing; but in the meantime the thousand and one smaller concerns are coming along with their wants that in the aggregate are large.
 There is no increase of production in the south; in fact. the prolongation of the coal and coke troubles in Virginia keeps several furnaces idle that were active during the entire panic period. Reports are received of preparations for starting several furnaces in central and eastern Pennsylvania.
 The Pennsylvania lines, west, placed orders for 300 cars early in the week, di- viding the business between Jefferson vile and St. Charles. The big crop that is now almost assured, makes Ger Nin large orders for rolling stock in the fall.

SIMPLIFYING TAX CERTIFICATES.
The District Commissioners Issue .
Much-Needcd Order.


According to n recent ruling of the Com
missioners, the assessor may include in one
tax certificate list of all taxes due and I'M
paid upon all lots in squares which are num-
bered consecutively, or upon several lots
where the numbers run consecudvely.
Heretofore when it was desired to obtain
tax certificate it was customary to issue
separate certificate for each lot or part OF
lot. This involved not only an additional ex-
penditure on the part of the applicants, for
each certificate cost fifty cents, but also en-
tailed large amount of extra work. 1t was
necessary before the certificate was issued
to pass several offices and receive the in
dorsements to the taxes due Consider
able time was thereby lost in this method,
and often a transfer of real estate was de-
layed for considerable time because of this.
This matter was brought to the attention Of
the Commissioners by the assessor, MIR.
Matthew Trimble who realized the advan-
tages that accrue from the new method.
The attorney for the District was asked to
give legal opinion on the subject, and he
decided that Mr.. Trimbles point was well
taken, and that the Commissioners had
ample authority to make an order covering
his recommendation.
