wire and rod mill now in course of erection at Ensley. Representatives of the greatest boiler making plants in the United States are in Birmingham, taking a deep interest in the awarding of the contracts. Amongst those present are:
 E. E. Darley. of the Cahall Boiler works, Mansfield O.
 H. H. Meadows. of the Babcock & Wilcox company.
 W. s. Elliott of the Sterling Boiler works
 The boilers required will be upright tub ular boilers and must be capable of driving engines of 5000 horse power. The lowest cost of these boilers will be $50OO, and the engines they drive will cost not less than $100, ,0O0
 The figures will give some conception 10 the popular mind of the vast plant being constructed at Ensley for the production of wire and steel rods. This is independent of the enormous steel plant at Ensley, now well under the way of building and which will cost upward of $1,000,0O0.

 Some weeks ago my brother heard me say something about indigestion, and talk ing box from his pocket said Try Stu arts Tablets did, and was promptly re- lfeved.

FINANCIAL REVIEW


 New York, January 27.-Bradstreets f. nancial review tomorrow will say:
 One of those speculative outbreaks which occur at irregular intervals in the history of commercial countries is now in full pro- gress in the United States with Wall street as the scene of it's manifestations.
 The present week has manifested further advances of the kind which only occur when the public comes into the market almost en masse and purchases eagerly and even recklessly. This has caused the trans actions in stocks to assume dimensions never before seen in this market. The dealings have been excited. The mechanism of the stock exchange and of the street at large have, however, worked well, the stock clearing system being in no small degree responsible for this fact. Money continues to be exceptionally easy, there being no symptoms whatever of the hard ening of interest rates which usually ap- peared on former occasions when extremely active speculation has developed
 Sending to Lonoon-
 This exceptional state of affairs is due no doubt to the circumstances that our market in contrast to its position in 1880, or in the other books of the past is not now Borrowing money abroad with which to carry on the current speculation but
 
 don and the continental cities.
 The controlling factor in the market has been the continued increase of speculative purchasing orders from the public, not only in New York, but throughout the country. Wall street commission houses have had an influx of such business to an extent hitherto unknown and to a certain extent their facilities have been almost overwhelmed by the detail work which it involved. It is, however, a notable CIT cumstances that as rule firms of this class which naturally profit by tho wholesale en- trance by the public Into the market have generally been recommending conservatism and profit taking to their customers. In fact the street has appeared to be some- what backward while the public presents such decided evidences of speculative con- fidence. There has, of course, been heavy realizing from time to time and not little shifting of the public's buying from one part of the list to another

 TABLETS.

No trouble is more common or more mis- understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo- pie having it think their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of. The stom- ach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor per- haps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as In nearly every organ. In some cases the heart pal pilates and is irregular; in others the kid neys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are

noted at eastern points, notably Philadel- phia and Boston, where advances in cottons are maintained.
 Wool, though firm,=is slow of sale and finished products with the possible excep- ton of dress woolens do not move as freely as hoped for, feature this week, in fact, being the very low prices announced by some manufacturers. General industry is reported active, notably so for the coal mining and ship building. An encouraging feature in the former trade has been the wage settlement made with 100000 western coal miners for another year.

MAKING THE FINAL
 ARRANGEMENTS
President McLaren of AddySton
 Company in the City.
ENGINEERS ARE AT WORK
Finding the Levels and Preparing for the Foundations of the Plant This Work Will be Con-
 pleted Next Week.

President Daniel McLaren, of the Addys- ton Pipe and Steel company, is in Birming- ham, making final arrangements for the beginning of work for the construction of the great pipe plant of that company on it's recently acquired property between the Thomas and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company's furnaces.
 Ever since MT. McLaren purchased the property, he has had surveyors and engin- eers engaged in finding the levels and pre- pairing for the foundations of the plant, and that work will be completed next week. Af- ter that is done the labor of building the plant will begin and will be hurried for ward as rapidly as possible.
 Ona Level of Thirty Five Feet
 According to the plans as so far completed the iron will enter the cupoas of the plant on level of thirty-three feet from the base. MT. McLaren had hoped for thirty four feet and five inches, but the difference is so small that it is not in any sense ma terial, and President McLaren is entirely satisfied.
 President McLaren will leave for Cincin- natl this afternoon, but expects to return to Birmingham within a week.
 The Addyston Birmingham district plant when completed, will be one of the largest and most perfect in the United. States and will be capable of turning out $50 tons of pipe every day.

BRADSTREET,S REVIEW

New York, January 2L-Bradstreet's to- morrow will sty:
 The apparently steady rise in the tide of general business has been diversified this week by an outburst of speculative interest in a number of staples, notably cotton and wheat, which heretofore have registered steady gains on actual consumptive demand rather than on the development of marked bullish speculation. Large transactions and buoyant prices have been features in these staples, and signs are not wanting that sympathetic though smaller movements in a number of other lines are either under way or contemplated. Exceptional industri- al activity, especially in the iron and steel trades, is another feature of note and here, too, price advances are all but general, re- fiecting, far as can be seen, chiefly the urgency of consumers requirements, the claim in fact being made that speculation has not as yet entered into the buying in this branch of industry. The same claim, however, can hardly be made as regards a number of movements toward consolidation in this and other industries where, in fact, the movement toward combination is de- scribed as approaching a veritable craze. In the regular channels of distributive trade, conditions continue in the main sat- isfactory, the volume of spring orders at most markets being reported as larger than in any recently preceding year at this time.
 While it hardly possible to fix the entire responsibility for the DulllSnneSS Tn wheat and cotton upon the movement which has so far proved successful in stocks the claim is freely made that considerable profits re- alized in the stock market have sought eX- pression in the channels of staple food and textile distribution. Color Is given to this claim by the fact that the situation in &C., tual wheat shows but little change from recent weeks. It is true that the tendency to pare down alleged official estimates of Russian crops and some weather reports from the west have been most encouraging to the holders of actual wheat, but tine magnitude of the outburst of new buying shared in by former persistent shorts in wheat alone hardly explain the activity in this market which has resulted in the high est prices reached since the collapse of the Letter deal.
 Activity in demand for nearly all classes of iron and steel is reflected in advanced for nearly every class of pig iron and in steel biliets, rails, wire and plates. An- nouncements of alarge number of consoli- datons and combinations. projected or un- der way are also feature.
 In Domain of Other Metals
 In the domain of other metals, notably copper and tin, speculation and actual de- mand alike make for higher prices. Better reports are received from the lumber trade in a number of cities and all the old ad- vances are maintained with confidence in the outlook for spring business. Some im- proyement in the dry goods trade is to be
