IRON MARKET
REMAINS HIGH
The Big Companies Have Many
Advance Orders.
STEEL PRICES ARE STEADY
Biliets Selling for $4,000 Ton, with
No Immediate Prospect of Go
ing Lower-Rushing Work
on Ensley Mill.

The iron market during the past week
has been In very unsettled condition.
A sudden jump was reported the first
part of the week and 1t was authoritatively
stated that No. l foundry was selling at
$12 So and that all the other grades had
advanced in proportion.
This report caused considerable disturb
ance in the market and was denied by some
of the operators, but the rumor gained
credence nevertheless. One consumer was
surprised at not being able to obtain No.
1 foundry at less than $3.50. 1t is said that
the companies have enough orders on
which to run for some time, and that they
are unable to make contracts for immed-
late delivery at any price. This report is
also denied, but still no definite quotations
can be gotten from the operators. A promi
nent official of one of the large companies
was asked for information yesterday after
noon concerning the reported changes in
the market. He replied that he knew
nothing about it. He also said that he
knew nothing of the reported advance of
a few days ago and if the price had fallen
since then he was not aware of it. In
other words, he refused to make quotations
or give out any information whatever.
rumor was circulated in industrial
circles yesterday afternoon to the effect
that No. foundry had taken a drop from
$12 80 and was selling at $1,000. This was
fatty contradicted by a number of gentle
men interested in the iron market putting
their statement on the grounds that the
operators were trying to create this i'm
preston to avoid giving the miners another
raise in wages One of them remarked: '"If
my statement is not correct l would like to
see some one go to the offices of either of
the companies and get No. l foundry or
gray forge for less than $12.50." On this
question the operators would not talk.
Since the big advance in steel the mar
ket has been quite steady Steel bilets
are. now selling at $3.50 in one thousand
ton lots and it is believed that this price
will be maintained for some time. When
this news was received in Birmingham a
few days ago the steel companies were
quite jubilant, and are of the opinion that
the present price will hold its own for a
long time. The work on the new steel mill
is being pushed as rapidly as possible, as
all are anxious to get in the market. 1t

suits are to be obtained by securing facili-

work may be done most cheaply, and the
material may be obtained at the lowest ex-

Worn Out Expressions of Rural
Journalism.
CITY PAPERS ARE NOT PROOF
Dull Thud," Grim Reaper" Black
Brute" Mourn His Loss" and
Many OIL er P. 50 VIII cb
Are Run in the Ground
BY d. C. BULGER

Few persons who have not served sem
tence in a newspaper office have any idea
of the hair-pulling and brain-twisting dif-
fculties encountered by reporters and edi-
tors in trying to frame a new expression
for some old stereotyped phrases which
have been used years in describing ordi-
nary occurrences.
1t is said in the whole history of rural
journalism there never was country edi-
tor who, in writing up death, ever failed
to say the deceased left either a large
family, several children OF sorrow
stricken widow ito mourn his loss;" that
''the grim reaper stalked abroad" The
country paper is not the only one how
ever, that has suffered from this phrase.
1t enthusiastically leaks out in the
dailies, but the use of this expression by
reporters is usually followed by dire and
wrathful vengeance on the part of city
editors
If the number of lynching increase there
is going to be a great famine of phrases
to use in describing the offender. BLACK
brute" has been worn to shreds, and
"Black fiend'' has suffered innumerable
torments. Desperate negro also bears
silvery tint of age, and many an editor has
fallen fainting from rage at "Fiend incar-
nate"
Now, when this offend incarnates"
body falls to the ground with "a dull
thud" what more could be said? That
"dull thud" has been handed down from
generation to generation, and though re-
porters have tried to outgrow their rails
ing it will crop out.
The country editor has a fearful habit
of causing internal arrangements by al
lowing friends to get ''in their midst The
lynchng habit cannot be compared with
the torture one would endure by having
friend 'in his midst" but still 1t must be
a fact, for even prominent dailies some-
times write of friend circulating "in the
midst of people This expression is ex-
cruciating, to say the least.
Until of late cyclones have been rare.
but reporters never allow one to pass with
out describing it as a terrific tornado" or
terrific cyclone, which has always left
''desoation in its wake" and when 1t has
spent its fury the writer sometimes has
an opportunity of offering his resignation.

tables always "groan- under the weight of
tho eatables' and even the pickles are

Many of the northern industrial papers
have been taking a great interest in the
various industries in Alabama, and have
given much space to the reports of north

around Birmingham. After giving the

company. the Birmingham Rolling mill
and the. Gate City Rolling mill, the Manu-

HUSBAND MAY BEAT HIS WIFE
st. Louis Police Justice Says There
Are Times When the Act
Is Unsuitable.

A decision was rendered by Judge
Peabody, in the st. Louis city police
court. that under certain conditions a
husband has the right to beat his wife
The case was of one Bernard Kretser,
charged with beating his wife because
she would not agree with him in the
management of their children.
Judge Peabody said, in passing judg-
ment: in this case the wife was more
guilty than the husband for trying TO
contradict and thwart her husband S
will in the presence of the children, and
setting them bad example, which he
had right to rebuke.
There are times when wife irri-
tates her husband to such an extent
that he cannot control himself and uses
his hand or fist. AS long as no serious
harm is done | don't believe in punish
ment."
