INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

D. r. Saunders of this city has pur-
chased the interest of w. F. Folsome In
the Standard Stove works Of Fort Payne
and the Standard Basket factory at
Wyeth City.
1t is understood the consideration In
the transaction was about 100000
The plants have both been run success
fully for the past seven or eight years,
and Mr.. Saunders will continue to operate
them.
The warehouse of the stove works Is
located in Birmingham.
The working rules, hours and minimum
scale of the Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and Jolnors now in effect In Birmingham
will be continued after May l, 1903, for
twelve months.
Two slight changes are made in the
rules applying to mill men. Rule Il es-
tablshes New Years day as a holi lay and
rule 10 provides that after May l there
shall not be more than one apprentice to
every two journeymen or fraction
thereof.
Representatives Of American interests
are negotiating with German establish
combined for importation and additional
large contracts are expected to be made.
The imports Of steel and iron for the
year will probably break the record For
the month of January alone the value OF
the iron and steel imported, excluding
ores, was s494S. Az as compared with inn
ports If the value of sl,950645 in January,
1902
Three chief causes of the great and con-
stantly expanding colume Of iron and
steel importations are:
l. The abnormal business conditions
throughout this country which are re-
curing much greater supply of iron
and steel products than the establish
ments of the United States are able to
make.
Q Shortage IN coke supply conditions
produced by the anthracite coal strike and
occasional stoppages which in the aggre-
gate make losses in productive capacity
very large.
g. The fact that the southern iron mills
have sold their product well into July and
their reluctance to lower prices at this
time Right now the German manufacture
ers can shave American prices about 81
per ton anc still make profit.

SHE MADE A CHANGE.
A Charleston Mother Did SO With Ad-
vantage to Herself and Children.

A mother living In Charleston, Mass.
the happy possessor OF four children,
writes: Every fall and winter l have
laid In a stock of cough remedies, Group
mixtures and throat medicines for my
children, for somehow or other they never
seem to be free from colds. coughs or
sore throat.
This fall made a change In the usual
programme ] had myself been cured Of
an obstinate catarrh. from which | had
suffered for years. by Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, and as they were pleasant to take
l determined to try them with my child
rem. Our family physician told me he
knew them to be perfectly safe and moth
ing better could be used for catarrh,
coughs and colds.
So / gave them to the children and
have continued to do so ever since, when
ever there is the least sign of Group or
sore throat and l no longer dread the
approach of cold weather as / once did.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not only cured
me of chronic nasal and throat catarrh
but they have saved me many an anxious
night with my little ones The children
like the taste Of them and 1t is really
wonderful how quickly they will break
up a croupy cold or an obstinate, deep
seated cough
People who have used sprays. inhalers,
salves or washes for catarrh and have
found how useless they are will be agree
ably surprised at the results following
the use of a pleasant, convenient. inter-
bal remedy IN tablet form. Druggists
everywhere admit that Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets which sell for 50 cents full sized
packages, Is the safest, most effective
and popular Of catarrh medicines.
