would be wise to erect at the Ensley fur mace plant another stack, this additional stack not to be equipped with stoves, en- zines and boilers, but simply the furnace stack so that four furnaces might be con tinuously kept in blast there
 .tThe report of the government engineers upon 9he feasibility and value of canal from the Warrior river to Bessemer, If not farther towards Birmingham, Is quite Ia vorable, and while we do not of course eX- peet anything in the immediate future rom such development 1t is worth bearing in mind as the benefit would be great to the company"
 The profits of the company in 1898 ex- ceeded those of 1897 by $3s3 961.9O.
 "Attention is called to the excellent re- port of the treasurer, which shows a re- duction in our floating and bonded indebt- edness and an improvement in the financial condition of the company in other respects. It will be seen by comparison of the sur plus profit for 1897 that the general trans actions of the company for the year 1898 were more profitable to the extent of $3S3, ,691. 90.
 Tn closing this brief report, allow me to say that al no time in the history of the company has the prospect for the stock holder been brighter than 1t Is this day. With better prices for iron, coal, coke and other products of the companys works, with early completion of the steel plant, the
 
 company stock and the landed property of the company itself with the control, for the first time in Its history, of the mining of its own ore supplies, and with the other matters now under negotiation, there must be great and a national calamity to pre- vent the stockholder from reaping some of the benefits. And for the company to have bright future before it it is not at all necer ary that it should obtain present prices for its products It's condition has been so strengthened and improved that it is today in position to withstand a period of low prices better than ever before. It's vast undeyeloped resources need but to be developed and made productive to be made profitable. To a limited extent that has been done and is being done now by means of contracts upon royalty basis, by which the territory is to be developed without risk to the company and with profit upon all the output. The better plan is doubt less to develop for ourselves, but under tain conditions advantage may be safely taken of the other plan"

The following Is the report of the Brad streets agency for the Birmingham district for the week ending last night:
 "A splendid demand for iron in domestic markets has caused furnacemen to give preference to the home trade-over export business Prices are firm and on the rise. and operatives are estimated to nave ai- ready had about per cent. added to their wages.
 Humber and coal are scarce, and the demand continues good with prices hrm
 "Grocerymen are having good ousiness' and report collections satisfactory.

of Portland cement daily. Negotiations are now pending with two large companies for locating their plants at Ensey, one Tor the purpose of manufacturing steel pipers and one to erect a beam and girder mill. These industries, when working full, will give eln- ployment to not less than 1000 men. In addition to the above named plants, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany will this year open two new coal mines, and perhaps build at least one ad- ditional furnace to the four already located at Ensey They will also concentrate thelr machine shops and foundries there IT houses can be built fast enough to shelter all the operatives required in connection with this vast development, your property, which practically surrounds both the towns of Pratt City and Ensey, will, With in two years, have a thriving population or 25, 900 people. The indications are that the developments and improvements in the Bir- mingham district will be greater in the next two or three years than at any time in Its history. If this is true, the property of the Ensley Land company will neceSsa- rily derive more benefit from this develop ment than any other section of the district, for the reason that manufacturers ana users of either wood iron or steel products will naturally seek location at Ensley: first, because the transportation facilities are better than any other section of the dis trict; secondly, all of the raw materials that they will require in making their pro- ducts are produced at Ensley
 I congratulate the stockholders upon the outlook, and confidently predict during this year more than enough property will be sold to pay the indebtedness of the com pany and before another annual meeting the property will have been reconveyed to the stockholders, and I have no reason to doubt 1t will be very valuable asset
 I herewith submit the report of the sec retary and treasurer. which shows in detail the liabilities of this date. Respectfully submitted,
