WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE IRON MARKET Improvement In the Demand
 Is Noted AND THE PRICES ARE FIRM No Export Sales Have Been Made Re- cently-The Make of the Local Furnaces Sold for Several
 Weeks Ahead.
AND THE PRICES ARE FIRM

The local iron market has shown some signs of improvement during the last week and a number of good sales have been made. The make of the local fur naces is sold out for several weeks one company selling the entire output of its furnaces for the month of February within the first ten days of the month.
 President Baxter of the Tennesse Coal Iron and Railroad Company stated yes terday that his company had sold a con- siderable quantity of iron during the week and the prices were firm.
 Officials of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company state that the demand for their product is good and that prices ob- tained were about equal to the ruling quotations.
 No sales for export have been made re- gently, the price of iron in Europe not being high enough for the Alabama fur naces to pay the freight charges and compete with European makers
 At Cincinnati.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.,, i'll their weekly review of the iron market say:
 Since our last review there has been a
 
 week, without many notable features in the market. The largest buying has been of Basic iron by leading concerns who have enough confidence to cover their wants for several months ahead. There has developed a scarcity of standard Bessemer iron for imme diate delivery.
 Southern furnaces have had difficulty in supplying some of the soft and foun- dry grades, and if they have considerable stocks of iron on hand it must be that they are not well assorted to apply on existing contracts
 The increase in production during Jan uary, which was large, has been met by corresponding increase in consump- tion, so that stocks at furnaces are about the same.
 As the season advances and the weather becomes more favorable for outdoor work it is believed that consumption of pig iron will still further grow.
 At Chicago.
 Sales continue light, prices have sagged bit and $1000 Birmingham basis for No. soft seems to be about the going thing Tn this market. Local irons remain formerly. except in one instance, where lower figures have been named, possibly in order to move an accumulation of not ready sailable material
 While prices have this downward ten dency, deliveries on old contracts are heavy and up to high water mark. Rail- roads are crowded with business, and in many cases find 1t impossible to get cars anu locomotives sufficient to move the overwhelming tonnage of commodities that the business of the country demands. nY,a tr,,p + lirn tha Gt,1f ff Mexico into the far North, was, about year ago, moving 5000 cars every twenty four hours. That was then a record breaker. At the present time they are moving 14.000 cars every twenty-four hours. Here is a fact that tells a story.

COTTON MILLS IN
 SOUTHERN STATES
Number of New Mills Reported and Enlargement Of Others
 All Are Fro porous

The Anniston yarn mill is being fitted up with machinery, and 1t is expected that this factory will be spinning yarn before April 30 The two sister mills in the same city, erected during 19O0 the Adalaide and the Woodstock, are in op- eration, and are doing we'll
 The Anniston Carpet Mills have thirty five looms in operation, and are turning out 5000 yards of ingrain carpet weekly and have orders on hand to run the mill five months. Four more looms are now being put in. Much of the product of this plant is going to Cmcsgo, rools measuring 130 yards each being turned out.
 Extensive Improvements will be made on the Ratherwood Woolen Mills, at Kingsport, Tenn. New machinery will be installed for the manufacture of high grade woolen products. This mil aas been in operation for half century.
 J. E. Smith has succeeded in interest ing Mayor T. Ii. Estes and other promi- nent business men of Terarkana, Tex, in a new cotton mill project and it is
  of the same size and capacity as the mill at Denison,
 The jeans plant of the Knoxville (Tenn) Woolen Mills closed down last week, and they will be closed for six weeks. The officials Of the company say that this is done by order of the Jeans Manufacturers Association, fin order to reduce production, and that the same cut will be made by other mills controlled by the association.
 The Charlotte (N. O Observer has been looking over the census reports of its State to see what the cotton mill does fin the way of increasing population. It says: "It Is worth noting that In each county that shows marked increase there has been a development of the cot ton milling industry in the past ten years Gaston, Cabarrus, Stanly, Durham, Mecklenburg, Guilford and Rutherford are notable instances. The power of cot ton mills to build up communities Is evil denced in a most convincing way by the census reports What the cotton mill has done for Albermarle may be taken as an instance. In 1890 that place had popu- lation of only PAS. This had increased in 1900 to 1282 Concord, which Is officially recorded as a city increased in ten years from 4339 to 7910 and Greensboro from 3317 to 10035. Henrietta not in existence in 1S90 now has population of 125o Cas- tonia sprang from 1883 to f6lO; Graham, from 991 to 2052; Norwood, from 159 to 6s3; Bessemer City, from to HOO; China Grove, from 174 to sS7, etc. These are only few instances-the list could be considerably extended. A number of the smaller towns show losses, but there are no cotton mills near them"
