REDUCTION ASKED
 IN FREIGHT RATES
Iron Magnates Want to Ship
 Through Atlantic Ports.
MORE BOTTOMS AVAILABLE
Three Excursions Bring Nearly Five Thousand People to Birmingham. Williams Says Southern Has
 Not Bought Seaboard

The railroads entering this district that have connection with Atlantic ports, have been asked by the iron manufacturers to grant reduction in the freight rates on iron from Birmingham to such ports.
 The request was submitted to the traffic managers and general freight agents at the meeting of the Southern Iron Committee held in this city last Monday and was taken under advisement by the railroad men.
 In making this request the iron magnates argued that if they could lay their iron down at the Atlantic ports, such Nor folk, Newport News and others, at a req sonably low freight charge they would thereby be enabled to enter more exten- sively into the export business. At present through the ports of New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola where ship room is entirely inadequate for the handling of a large tonnage. It was argued that with a req sonable freight rate to Norfolk and New port News more bottoms would be availa- ble and more business could be secured.
 It is stated that the railroads are dis posed to do whatever they consistently can for the iron interests of the South and that if on investigation they find it feasible they will make such freight rate to the Atlantic ports as will enable the iron com panies to handle business through those ports
