The Association of Southern man. ufacturers of pig iron met in Birming- ham this week and fixed prices on the basis of SIP, Birmingham. for No. ? foundry. It is generally recognized in the trade that this is very close to cost even in the south, and that present prices ruling will cause more furnaces to go out of blast.
 AccofuiHs to olHcldl reports the pro- duction last month was on the basis of about two million tons less per year than shown in the two preceding months. The railroads are now having considera- ble trouble in furnishing enough cars to haul coke and some of the furnaces have been obliged to shut down tempor- arily on account of not receiving ship ments promptly. It is believed that now is a good time to get a little pig iron and coke ahead to be prepared in case of inability of railroads to make prompt delivery later in the year.
