THE IRON MARKET
 CONTINUES FIRM.
With Good Demand-TutWiIer Furnace in Blast Again Af-
 ter Being Repaired

The local iron market the past week was ported. The furnaces companies continue to sell tonnage about equal to their make and the magnates apparently have no apr prehenson as the future. Alabama iron make any concessions in the way of prices in order to secure a larger volume business while those in Tennessee, on the contrary are reported to be shading the quotations somewhat where business offers. No. ? foundry in Birmingham is quoted at S11 ton, and no sales at a less figure are re ported.
 The boiler and some other portions O. the Decatur furnace recently purchased by the Tutwiler Coal Coke & Iron Company are being removed to this city and put up at the Tutwiler furnace near East Birming- ham. The boiler and machinery will be added to the furnace now operated at that place. Major E. M. Tutwiler, owner of the Tutwiler Coal Coke x Iron Company, stated yesterday that he did not contem- plate building a new furnace at East Bir- mingham any time soon.
 The Tutwiler furnace, which was banked two weeks ago for the purpose of repair ing it was stared up again last week and is now making a better grade of iron than for some time past.
 The coal operators report continued heavy demands for their product. Every mine in the State is run to it's full capacity and still the demand cannot be satisfied

day night, and the dense fog prevailing
at the time induced Pilot Jordan to
bring her to anchor until he could see
his way clear through the gateway. She
laid to until about 4:30 o'clock yester-
day morning, when the atmosphere
cleared, and she was started under
slow bell toward Point Bonita. All
went we'll until S: 40 o'clock, when she
struck. Most of the passengers were
below at the time, and it Is believed
that many of them were drowned in
their berths.
The first news of the disaster reach
ed here at 7:30 o'clock, and sooon af-
terward a boat load of rescued passen-
gers and petty officers arrived at the
mail dock
Tugs were Immediately dispatched
to render any service that might be
needed. but no living persons were
afloat when they reached the wrec'.
A number of drowning people were
rescued by Italian fishermen. and the
bodies of two white women, three Chi
nese and a Japanese were brought in
by the tugs.
From all accounts it appears that the
sary orders with the least possible eX-
citement.
Capt. Ward, who was on deck when
the vessel struck, at once gave orders
to the crew on watch to hurry the pas
sengers to the forward deck. At the
same time the quartermaster on duty
sounded the signal for fire drill, and
within five minutes all the men were
at their stations. There was not
much confusion until, 15 minutes after
striking, the bow of the vessel sudden
ly plunged under water. Then there
was wild rush for the boats. The
Chinese crew, to the number Of more
than hundred, was terrorized. Some
of them huddled in little groups. chat
tering in fear Others crouched close
to the deck moaning pitifully. Many
/ jumped into the sea.
Capt. Ward remained on deck until
| the vessel had settled to such an ex-
tent that the water was engulfng
him. Then he went up on the bridge
and from there confined to issue his
directions, although by this time the
confusion was so great that few paid
any attention to his commands.

The wreck lies about three-fourths
