 The Birmingham district shows de- crease of 7SO2 tons. .The shipments from the Birmingham district in January, 1901, were 6S, ,669 tons. as against 73.471 tons in January, 1900. The cast iron pipe ship ments from Alabama and Tennessee last month were 1O,SS7 tons. as against 233S tons in January, 1900, showing an increase of S5O4 tons. Ofsthis movement the Bir- mingham district furnished 4725 tons, an increase of 40lQ tons over the month of January, 1900. s,s.a
