 THY IN TONE
Production in the State IS Fairly Good and Promises to Improve Shortlt-Collector Bing-
 hams Office No. l.

Birmingham, Jan. 2.-(SpecIaD--A visit to the various iron comnanies offices in Birmingham this morning brought out the fact that the pig iron market was strong and that there was healthy de- mand for the product of the blast iron furnaces. The production right now in the State is fairly rood and promises to be improved some shortly. The raw ma terial supply has not been so strong re- gently but it Is being increased right along as the many employees of the mines and quarries are getting back to work after enjoying the holidays. At each
 place visited today the statement was made that there were no reasons for complaint as far as the pig iron market was concerned. In some quarters it is learned that there is a strong demand for the product with indications of all the iron that can be manufactured for the next six months being under orders.
