 Lumber Dealers in the City.

 "To the Public:
 'aSeeing in the afternoon paper state ment in effect that the price of lumber has recently advanced 50 cents per thousand feet, we, the undersigned lumber dealers of the city, desire to correct a wrong impress sion and to say that prices have not ad- vanced in this market: and, further that it is our intention, as fas as it is in our power, to keep prices within reasonable bounds"

ANOTHER FURNACE HAS BEEN STARTED The TrusSviIIe Plant Blown in
 Yesterday. IS NOW FINELY EQUIPPED Work on the Williamson Furnace is Progressing Rapidly, and Will

IS NOW FINELY EQUIPPED

The Trussville furnace was put in blast yesterday, and by the end of the present week will be making 150 tons of pig iron a day.
 This furnace has recently been over hauled and modernized, and is now one of the best equipped blast furnaces in the dis trict.
 The repair work on the furnace was fin ished in December. but the lack of raw materials prevented 1t being put in opera tion earlier. It is very difficult matter for furnace operators who do not produce their own raw materials, especially ores and coke, to obtain supply of same. In fact. it is Reported that one or two furnace com panies in this 6stif"t are anxious to build new furnaces. and ,..uld do so if assured of a supply of ores sufficient to keep them in blast.
 The owners of the Trussville furnace have just completed the building of 200 coke ovens-1OQ at Trussville and 100 at Brad ford. Those at Bradford were fired up the latter part of last week, and those lt Trussville will be started this week.
 The Williamson Furnace
 The repair work on the Williamson fur mace is progressing very satisfactorily. The furnace is expected to be ready to go in blast early in February. It will have a daily capacity of 100 tons.
