Delivery Period Limited Until
 End of June
BASIS IS SI7 FOR NOl Z
At First 1t Was Thought $1e.5o Would Be the Price, But Stiff De- mand Fixed 1t at
 $17.oo.

The price of Southern pig iron for the first six months of 1908 has been fixed on a $17 basis for No. foundry.
 Representatives of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company, the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company and a number of other large iron companies from west Virginia to Alabama held con- ferences in New York last week and on yesterday an understanding was reached that a SIT rate should be maintained and that the delivery period should be linn ited until further notice to the last of June 1903
 For several weeks past officials of the large concerns have been inclined to think that $16.50 for No. would be the selling basis and one or two companies here had been answering inquiries on that lne but after reviewing the situation and considering the firmness of the market at 1903 prices for northern iron. which Is now selling freely, the most conservative men in the conference concluded that a $17 basis was low enough.
 A few contracts had been made for S16.50 iron for spring delivery but now that schedule has been agreed upon the selling will become brisk at the market.
 A conference of the large Southern com panies was held last winter to fix prices but as 1t was mostly tentative the under standing regarding uniform quotations for 1902 did not bind any of the sellers The conference last week was, like that of last winter, only informal and there Is no written agreement or anything to bind any one who took part in 1t; yet 1t is believed that the. new schedule will be strictly adhered to. The six months limit will, 1t Is thought, prove eminently satisfactory.
 Prosperity seems good for another twelve months Whether it will con- tinue beyond the summer of 1903 Is some- what doubtful. But prosperity or no prosperity, the increased furnace capacity that is expected next year will. in the opinion of most of the producers cause prices to soften after July next.
 The smaller companies here outside of the SIT combination are quoting iron for delivery in the first half of 1903 at s1S and some contracts ot few hundred tons each are reported to have been made at that price. But the big companies es- tablish quotations. of course, and their figures will be accepted as the market prices.

will be urged not to send any man to tho Legislature that does not openly avow hia purpose to vote for Senator Pettus for re- election.
 There will hardly be a State organlxa- tion unless opposition develops which is hardly possible or probable and the only effort is to make sure that the members of the Legislature who are nominated are friends of the Senator.
