SchuIers Expected to Decide on
 Site for Steel Plant
WILL BEGIN WORK BY AUTUMN
Many New Industries Are Promised for ThIs District-SmalI Quantity of Iron Sold for
 1903.

The Alabama Steel and Wire Company is as secretive as ever about the location of It's blast furnace and steel plant, but friends of the Messrs Schuler predict that they will settle upon one of the many sites under consideration very soon and break ground before the sum mer Is ended.
 It is pointed out that the Alabama Steel and Wire Company's contract with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company for a steel supply expires with this year and it's contract for German steel for 1903 delivery Is limited. These being the facts, it will be to the interest of the company to start to build with as little delay as possible. A great plant, such as the Schulers have planned. will require something like two years in con- struction.
 Many new industries for this district are in a formative state and while some that are talked about will fail to mater ialize 1t may well be doubted whether any that are being considered for the near future will quite equal in extent the Alabama Steel and Wire Companys scheme.
 This district is making rapid strides and with the Schulers new work and several other industries that will be un- der way in the fall, Greater Birmingham will grow by great leaps within the next twelve months.
 There Is still complaint of scarcity of labor in Jefferson County and the situa- tion in this respect will not improve dur ing the summer. There Is employment awaiting thousands of additional men but the country has been searched and the labor cannot be secured. Every industrial section of the South is needing labor as much as the Birmingham district Is.
 The iron market continues to advance, some lots of pig metal having been sold for summer and fall delivery within the past few days on a basis of s19 for No 3 foundry. But as the greater part of this years make was booked at from $10.50 to SIP, the high prices obtainable now will not go far toward bringing up the aver age. -
 There has been a little selling here for the first quarter of 1903 but free selling will hardly begin for month or more Whether anything like present prices will hold remains to be seen.

SMALL CROWD AT FIGHT.
Boxing Tournament Is Not a Great
 Attraction to Engllshmen.

London, June 21.-There was a small attendance at the opening to- night of the coronation boxing tourna- menl. and little batting was doIe. Spike Sullivan, the American boxer, and Juhez White of England met in the first bout. White wos the stronger ct the two, did most of the leading and was adjudged the winner on points at the end of the stipulated fifteen rounds. There was little differ ence between the mon until the ninth round, when White floored his rival with well executed right He assiste the American to rise, an innovation which was severely criticised. After that Sullivan did better work and pushed the Englishman closely. The latter won on points after hard strug- gle.
 Eddy Connolly of St. John, N B., and Pat Daly of England met for the 140 championship. Daly was much the heavier of the two and had difficulty In getting inside the limit Connolly was the favorite. The Americans, who made up large part of the spectators, backed the American man heavily. The fight was the fastest and most in- teresting of the night, and much sur prise was expressed that the men were able to go to the limit at such a ter rife pace. Connolly did most of the leading, showed himself the better ring general and more scientific boxer and was given the decision on points.

PARADE OF RANGES.
Local Firm introduces Effective Ad-
 vertisine Scheme.

One of the most striking signs of prosperity seen on the streets of Bir mingham during the past few days was exhibited yesterday afternoon by a local hardware store. It consisted of the re- ploval to a warehouse of a solid car load of stoves of various sizes from a freight depot. In the line of drays were about a dozen wagons each filled with ranges and all along the line crowds stopped to comment on the scene.
 The drsys were being used to make the transfer of the full ear of stoves to a warehouse of the firm of S. Spiro. At tached to each dray was a long streaner bearing various Inscriptions, some of which were: This Is the way buy steel ranges which allows me to sell them so cheap" 'They are yours for $25 each guaranteed" The ranges ere the Sur prise'' make. and manufactured expressly for MT. Spiro.
 A statement was made that these ranges had been sold about the city for msny years at $35 each. but that by buy ing 1T. large quantities Mir. Sptro had been able to save considerable in cost. freight and other expenses. which fact made it possible for Him to offer them at the price named. s25. This full car was merely an addition to his stock. ~'
