THE IRnN MARKET.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 12.-There has been about one full business week or the new year, and the verdict IS that while things are not as good as they might be, at the same time they might be great deal worse than they are. There was unquestlonably a wide spread ex pectation, as the old year closed, that the beginning of the new would see very marked improvement in the gen. eral business situation. These expectations have not been realized, and disappoint- mept is the result. When actual facts are ascertained, however, it is found that a very respectable volume of business Is In progress, and that the tendency is towards a slow increase. It is too much to expect under the circumstances any improvement in values, but there has been certainly no decline since the middle of December, and the strong sellers are in the main inde- pendent, and not disposed to make further concessions. This is particularly true In southern irons. The largest companies rest confident in the belief that the few who are cutting under recognized market limits can supply only a small fraction of the amount of southern iron required and that they will soon get their order books uncomfort- ably full and be removed as factor in the situation.
 There has been an unusually large de- mand for small lots for immediate delivery, and these have been promptly supplied at ruling rates.

WITH THE RAILROADS.

The third Raymond & Whitcomb winter excursion party passed through the city yesterday afternoon. The party is com. posed of ffty-two persons from Boston, New York and Philadelphia, and are en route 10 San Diego, Cal. The train was made up of 6 vestibuled dining car, three and arrived here at o'clock, weiting one hour in order to give those who wished a chance to look at Birmingham.
 LOOKING FOR LAND.
 There is not day but some one from the north west comes to Birmingham in search of lands and suitable locations for lmmi- grants. The most of these are forerunners for dozen or more people. Yesterday afternoon MT. Theo Won Rolf of West Union, ia., arrived here, and will spend a day or two in this section looking for suit able lands for the location of immigrants from Iowa. He was shown over the city by Mir. P. Sid Jones, and will spend today looking over Birmingham.
 TEXAS RATES.
 Today Texas immigrant rates go into ef- feet. The rate is one fare for the round trip, plus $2, and will be good 10 return for thirty oays.
 NO MORE RATE CUTTING. . Nearly all the local passenger agents re- ceived notice yesterday from their general passenger agents notifying them to hold up tariff rates at all hazards and to deviate tn erefrom in way. These notices are a result of 0 meeting of passenger men few days ago in Atlanta, at which place and time it was agreed that all passenger agents should abide by the regular tariff rates and that no cutting whatever should be made.
 It is a we'll known fact that rate cutting in small degree has been in progress here as much as in any other city. This will put stop to rate cutting to certain ex- tent, that is, if all concerned live up to agreements, and will also make considera- bIe money in the long run to all lines.
 WITH US AGAIN.
 Mir. w. P. Adams, who is well known in this city, having at one time been the local travelling passenger agent of the old Geor- gia Pacific, but who has for some time been soliciting freight agent of the Southern, with headquarters here, goes with the Kan sas City, Memphis and Birmingham today. He will be soliciting freight agent of this Nor avenue. Mir. Adams is a splendid phis and Birmingham has done well to SC.

there had been some joke between them

to il1ustr ate his misery characteristic.
Luttrell had translated the Greek, and,
