Pig iron No. 2 is quoted in Birmingham at s1075, and on cash orders has been sold as cheap as s10.5O. There is a more active demand for the product, though the market is still considered dull by some of the leading companies in this dis trict.
 A story was current in industrial cir cles yesterday that pig iron, No. 9 grade, was selling or had been sold for $10. In- quiry at the offices of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company and the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company failed to substantiate these re- ports. At each of these places $1o.75 was quoted as the selling price, and 1t was said that under no circumstances would less than S1050 be considered.
 From the northwest and east come re- ports of activity in the iron market and a constant demand for the product at pre- vailing prices.
 Discussing the question yesterday, an official of one of the prominent companies of this district said: "I see no reason why the market should not begin to pick up. One of the best indications of an ac-

IRON SITUATION
 LOOKS FAVORABLE
Great Demand for Product in New York and the Mar
 ket is Firm = -aa

In letters from New York and Buffalo, Rogers, Brown & Go. report a good de- mand for iron and a favorable outlook throughout the country. The letters say:
 The worst hot wave New York has known fails to influence unfavorably the local market. Faith in the firmness Of the market is reinforced by slowly filling or der books. Some interests find themselves to the beginning of next year, and have advanced prices accordingly, while all feel that a good demand Is certain, and no uneasiness need be occasioned. With one strike well out of the way and the impression that the second one may not be as serious as has been indicated in some quarters, the outlook is favorable.
 Foreign markets fail to recover any lost ground in the matter of actual sales to consumers, but 1t Is noticeable that a sharp drop in Glasgow warrants was im- mediately followed by equally quick re- action.
 In Buffalo there is an unprecedented demand for shipments of pig iron from local furnaces. Foundries through the entire territory are clamoring for faster deliveries on existing contracts and pro- ducers are straining every energy to take care of these wants.
 The market itself remains about the same as reported last week. Considera- ble interest in buying is shown among consumers and sales of varying amounts are daily reported. This existing acticity is conservative, both on the part of sellers and buyers, and the situation in general has a cheerful aspect.

over the wage scale was unable to supply enough coal to keep the other plants in operation.
 The sub-district scale convention is in session at Jasper and President Flynn and other miners belonging to the exeou- tive board left for that place yesterday. It is probable that the scale will be sat- isfactorily arranged in the sub-district within the next ten days.
 With the adjustment of the scale there will be practically nothing to mar the even temperature of industry in the Bir- mingham district. There is a little trou- ble at Ragland mines but both miners and employers hope to have that settled soon.
 The coal market is a trifie more active than during the past month. This is at tributed to the anxiety of purchasers to have their contracts for the fall closed up as early possible. The advent of fuel oil has had no appreciable effect on the price of coal thus far in this district.

The first bat talion consists of the Birmingham Rifles, Jefferson Volunteers, Bessemer Rifles and Woodlawn Light Infantry.

 The Great Sewer.
 The proposed sewer will start some where near East Lake and run through Woodlawn and Avondale to Birmingham. It will then take in West End, Elyton, Pratt City, Ensley and Bessemer. finally emptying into the Warrior river about twenty-five miles from this city.
 For several years MT Kendrick, the city engineer, has seen the necessity of a trunk sever and in his various reports has urged it's erection by the city of Bir- mingham or the County Board of Rev enue.
 The movement was started by several prominent citizens last winter, and rep resentatives from all parts of the county attended mass meeting in this city and urged the building of the sewer. The matter was immediately taken up by the Board of Revenue and the State Legis- lature authorized an issue of $500 900 of county bonds. The first sale was made last night and work will soon begin.

We have handled Dr. Moffett's TBETHINA (Teething Powders) ever since its first introduction to the public and trade as a proprietary medicine, and our trade in it has steadily increased from year to year until our orders now amount to two or three hundred gross per year, which is a very strong evidence of its merit and the satisfaction 1t Is giving to the mothers of the country, for they say that nothing so effectually coun- teracts the effects of the summers hot sun or overcomes so quickly the troubles incident to teething.

NEGRO GIRL KILLED.
She Was Crushed To Death Between
 Two Freight Cars.

Mamie Crawford, a 9-year-old negro girl. was crushed to death between two freight cars at Avondale yester- day morning.
 The girl made an attempt to cross a train on the Southern Railway track at Cain street. The train was in two sections, with a narrow passage way between, and the girl attempted to go between the cars, when the two sec tions came together, and she was caught and crushed to death. Her body was terribly mangled.
 Coroner Paris immediately went to the scene of the accident to investi- gate the matter, and upon arriving there jury was organized to take up the case. On account of another inn portant case the coroner had to leave before making a full investigation. He said last night there was no doubt the girl was crushed between the cars.
