 This is am erlcouraging summary for sedtioa which cosmsncsIl t4lse nlanufaict- une of iron thirty eyars ago, without cap- ital or experience. With such stalf tha south is now prepared ito turn out iron and steel in every form known to the tnaida. The Trahlssman has several er- ticlea relaIuing to Birmingham and tlhe following eid11ogfa1:
 The southern gileel enterprise, fnsalled by the Birnilrgfam Rolling A.ll com pany, continues to attract general alt ter1gion over tf1s n1nilh. And, what is much more dmpo1bart, the enterprise continues to progress satisfactorily. The extension, now under way, will increase the produdi Ito about 145 tons per day, or, say, 35, 900 itorAs per year, a net SItart for the southern si.lsel trade, which start, we believe, vii go on.
 All the great transportation Mines and ether interested parties in TifGe south are dotng their best to aslsilslt toward the success of this gufeai1 enterprise. Presi- derlt Samuel Spencer, of the Southern railway, which has two Hines reaching Barm1ngharn says this company "ls do-
 
 nenlt of southern steel industries, and will continue rto do so, ats we believe that the south has a future in that as well as i in many ether lines. There IS subs. a1tial ground for believing htlat tihs day is not far daSt9nt when southern steel will be an dnlpontant factor an the markets of the wolrd." MT. Roosevelt acting sec Teibary of tl1le navy, says: T ann in favor of locating the plart in t'he souh if any point possesses superior advantages to is7 Tn 4tafr hf.. fn personally concerned will ask that the committee make a thorough invesTga- tion of all the sites offered fin the south ern sltates."
 It will be seen 'tlraIt the aIttepaion of the country 1ias been eittracted to this undertaking, as it has been to very few an the south, and fin none G1as the gen. e1tal interest been more pronounced, not even in the soulthern cotton trade
 The rise 1u the price of billets to $16 a ton, Pbttsburg will nc. be bad news for the southern plant. Altogether ITO more favorable time could have been hit upon for the launching of the irliusltry i'm the south, than this time. The company is in great good luck; and the Tradesman wishes the rew slteeh works the most thorough and ample success.
 The shrewd capitalists and business men who read the great industrial jour- malls of the country cannot fail to see that Birmingham is looming up as one of iiihe 1eadtng iron and s9eel nnarrufacItur- ing centers of the world There are now men living in this city who will see ttha day when business circles fin every mar ket on the globe will be as much inter esbed in trade news from Birmingham as they are now fn rthe quobations from 
 tale largest and oldest iron arid steel cen- ters in England and in Pennsylvania.
 Tine staite of Alabama seems filled with the wisest of editors, who say that Judge Yam Wyck. the democratic candl- daIbe for mayor of New York, voted agaIlst Gdr. Bryan lasit year. No sane man would for mctnerlt iihink of doutit- ing the absolute knowledge of these edi- tors upon all subjects throughout the en- tire civilized and urid.viMzed portions of the world. Yet is but fair to Judge Yam Wyck to make the settlement that he has said that he voted for MT. Bryan, not agafng;t him. Dt is safe to presume that Judge Van Wyck ought to know gIow he voted but what does his word amount ito against a few wise men in Alabama. who seek to make the public believe ;Jhey know more gthan God AL mighty.
