A Mo, enent which Is Likely to Result In
Larger Buy Ing.

Regarding he dissolution of the Southern
Pig Iron Association. which became public
on Wednesday, il was said yesterday that
the Alabama Consolidated Company had
withdrawn from the association recently.
II is understood that the Sloss- Sheffield
steel and Iron Company has notified its
selling agents to act independently OF any
former price agreement in making prices
10 customers.
One company, formerly a member Of the
association. was said to be Offering No.
IRON at $40 rs a ton, which is u below the
associations price. and it was predicted
ha, iron will be offered in the near future
at si056, or AT even lower figure tempo
rarily Lower prices, however, are ex-
pected to result in the placing OF a con.
adorable volume of orders. Consumers OF
iron have been buying in hand to mouth
fashion for some time past and have only
small supply on hand, while stocks have
accumulated in the hands Of the Southern
manufacturers
