Mr. E. O. Hopkins, president of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company returned from New York yesterday Asked about the iron market he said 1t continued to be in strong, healthy con dition.
 How about an advance in prices, or about a runaway market7'
 ''I do not look for a runaway market, nor do I wish to see anything of the kind" replied Mr. Hopkins. ''Iron-makers are doing we'll on a basis of $12 for No z foundry Users of iron are satisfied with the present schedule, and we should let well enough alone"
 Mir. Hopkins said his company was talk ing orders for the second half of the year at the Sis basis and would continue to tio so.

'"rhe bliz- gard there last Monday was the severest In many years-the worst since the bliz- gard In which Conkling lost his life. On Tuesday 5000 wagonloads of snow were carried off the streets.

North Half of North Blrming- ham Holds a Mass
 Meeting
DISCUSS THE DIFFERENCES
Resolution Adopted Providing for City of Five Wards-South Side of Creek to Meet and Con-
 slder the Plan.

About thirty citizens of North Birming- ham were present last night at the meet ing called for the purpose Of discussing incorporation, and the following resoin- ton was adopted by vote of 1e to 6.
 Whereas, The citizens of the south side of the creek appear to be very anx- ious that we join them in the move to incorporate the town of North Birming- ham; and
 Whereas, They profess to be willing to abide by the agreement formulated by the board of election managers on the 10th day of February, 1909, the substance of which resolution was as follows: The town to be divided into five wards, three on the north side and two on the south side of the creek The public school build- ing to be at or near Sixth street and Tenth avenue, and the town hall to be at or near Seventh avenue and Third street. Industries working free labor to be ex- empt from taxation for term of ten years from their location Therefore, be 1t
 Resolved, That we, the citizens of the north side of the creek in mass meeting assembled, endorse said agreement and agree to abide by the terms thereof; pro- vided the majority of the citizens of said south side of the creek pledge themselves in writing to abide by the terms of said agreement"
 The meeting was called to order by MT. John Dudley, who was elected chair man. MT. c. M Green was made secre- tary. Short talks were made by MT. Green, MT. Mitchell, MT. Hamilton, pr. Cole, MT. Head and others.
 A motion was made and carried that a committee of five be appointed to draw up resolutions and present to the meeting for acceptance. The chairman appointed MT. Mitchell, MT. Hamilton, MT. Green, MT. Harris and Dr. Cole.
 A committee of three consisting of MT. R. l.. Hamilton, MT. l.. P. Howell and MT. c. M. Green were appointed to notify the citizens of the south side of the creek of the resolution adopted at this meeting.
 It Is claimed by many that the clause in the resolution adopted by the meeting last night. which exempts all industries working free labor from taxes for ten years will defeat the movement for in corporation, while those favoring incor- poration assert that this clause makes their side the stronger. Those present last night were unanimously in favor of incorporation, but objected to the ten years tax xemption. The citizens on the south side of the creek, it is under. stood, will hold a meeting in the early part of next week, and it Is probable that an agreement will be reached with the residents on the north side.
