Prices for 1903 Show No Sign

STRENGTH OF TIE SITUATION
Manufacturer Predicts That When the Books Are Opened for the Last Half of 1903 All Possible Pro-
 duction Will Be Taken.

The iron market continues firm and there is no sign of a softening in prices. The New York Commercial says that manufacturers announce the booking of nine-tenths of the southern iron that will be produced between now and July 1, 1903 The prices at which this Iron has been sold range from !. to $18.50 ton, on a basis of No. foundry. Birmingham. Commenting upon the situation an offi- cial of one of the largest companies in the south said:
 we have not yet opened our books for the last half of 1903 When we do am firmly convinced that within three weeks we shall have sold our possible produc- ton for the entire year. The demand for foundry iron was never more pronounced than 1t Is at the present time. and there Is every indication that the demand will continue unabated. Not a few foundries which have delayed their purchases in anticipation of lower prices will find themselves unable to secure pig iron during the first half of next year. Their only source of supply is Europe, and judging from conditions over there the foundries that held off will be forced to bring iron into this country at prices considerably above current quotations.
 ''The strength of the situation becomes apparent when the fact Is taken into consideration that the furnaces have sold their possible production for the next 10 months. Not long ago we considered ourselves fortunate if the orders on our books guaranteed steady operations for the furnaces for three months"
 The statement was made, according to the Commercial, that as result of repairs being made and the inability of the railroads to handle all the coke fuel and ore consigned to the furnaces the production of southern pig iron at the present time was considered below the maximum capacity of the furnaces.
 This shortage to some extent has serv ed to stimulate prices. One of the lar gest producers in the south started to take orders calling for delivery in the first half of next year on a basis of SLIGO a ton for No. foundry. The price was gradually advanced from that figure to $1S.50, and it Is believed that when the furnaces announce their price policy for the second half of 1903 the quotations will range between $500 and s19.OO.
 The extraordinary demand for southern pig iron and the scarcity of cars have made it impossible for the furnaces to ship their material promptly. in conse- quence of which considerable growing on the part of buyers is being lndulged in. There is very little spot iron available.

.FORECASTING THE
 WEATHER FOR SEPT.
PrognosticatOr Jacobs Branches
 Out in His Work
RECORD FOR PAST YEARS
The Distribution of Temperature Gives Hope for Pleasant Autumn Days. The Excessive Heat and Dry
 ness of Present Summer.

Prognosticator Jacobs has branched out in the weather work and in the future will give out, on the side, forecasts for a month in advance so that persons may know. as far as possible, what kind of weather to expect.

 He does not pretend to tell exactly how much rain will fall on certain days, how long the rain will shine on other days. or whether the baseball game can be played on Labor Day, but he will dis tribute little general information which may help some.
 It Is very commonly admitted that very hot weather in August means cold weather in September, or cool weather during the summer means hot fall months. Judging from this supposition Birmingham will be handed cut cool weather during the coming month. The weather man has the cool winds and PicoSdih AeihpcIhNures CdTeIuity StoTeu away in large bags and will distribute 1t along during the thirty days of septem- Der.
 The mercury in August frequently climbed to 100 and over. Looking back ward 50 degrees Is considered a low tenn perature for September and inhabitants of this town may expect their thermom- eters to read something less than the half century mark during the month to come.
 The mean temperature of the average temperatures for September for the past nine years is n degrees. The highest the mean temperature has ever been for the month was 79 degrees in 1895 and 1900, while the lowest was last year when the average temperature for the month was 72a degrees Taking these figures a mean temperature of about 75 degrees for next month way be expected. The following table shows the mean temperatures since 1893. For year 1893. 7S; 1894. 77; 1895, 7s; 1896. TT, 1897, 7s; 1898, 77; 1899, "A: 1900. 7s; 1901, 72. 1902, ?

Too Cool for Lemons.

Philadelphia, August 2s-Lemons are in small demand if the season be rain ing or cool or both. this summer has been both. Consequently the populace can easily exist without the aid of the yellow fruit.
 Last summer shippers found it diffi- cult to supply the call for lemons. This year the market Is glutted and demoral- ized and 100000 boxes of choice Sicily and Messna lemons loaded in vessels along the Mediterranean coast for ship ment to this country, have been ordered by cable to be returned.
 Lemons of fine quality and good size are offered at retail for five and six cents a dozen by some of the leading grocers of the city, and 1t is difficult to sell them at that low price.
 The lemons which had been made ready to ship to this country, and the orders for which have been countermand- ed number 36,000,000.

There is an acnIng and tired feeling;
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion i'm
paired, with little or no appetite, no
ambition for anything, and a feeling
that the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that during
winter, there has been an accumula-
ton of waste matter in the system.

THE CAPITAL.

With prospect of getting statehood
for New Mexico, the question of locat-
ing the capital Of the new state is be-
ing discussed. There appears to be no
serious disposition anywhere in the
territory to remove the capital from
Santa Fe at this time. In the years TO
come the people of the future state
can settle that question to their own
satisfaction. If the statehood bill
passes the senate this session, the con
stitutional convention will be held this
coming summer, and there will be nc
effort to remove the capital from its
present location. The city Of Albu
Querque will not be a candidate for the
capital. We are building up a com
mercial city, and expect TO get a bis
military post, a government building
and other needed things and will assist
Santa Fe in retaining the capital. In
