MEETING OF IRON MEN
TO ARRANGE FOR CuRTAIL-
 MENT OF PRODUCTION.
Executive Board of Miners to Con vene in Birmingham Thursday. Arrangements for the Re-
 union of Veterans.

Birmingham. Oct. 3-(Speciai.)-The committee named by the Southern Fur mace Association interests to figure the reduction in production of pig iron to hhng about a curtailment of approxi- mately % per cent. composed of w H. Hassinger of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, J. W. Mcqueen of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company, and a third member to be selected by these two, will begin work at once.
 It is announced that furnaces which are about ready to go into blast after a thorough repairing will not necessarily be cut out, but each company will have to bear the burden of the curtailment. It was decided to-day at the meeting not to make any reduction in iron quota tfons. The recent reduction tn freight rates of 50 cents on the ton and the cur tailment of production. 1t is believed. will regulate the market and readjust condt- tions
 It is announced that the iron interests in the Southern territory are now closer together than ever before. An effort made to demoralize the market, and by one of the larger producers, too has been nipped in the bud. soft is given out. and resolutions have been adopted which will protect mutual interests.

Great Excitement for a Time on Cot.
 ton Exchange.

New York. Oct. 3.-The government October report on the condition of cotton placing it at G5.1 proved lower than had been generally expected. and It's an- nouncement was followed by great excite ment and an advance of 20 to 2 points with October jumping from 91S to s.4O. December from 9.27 to 946, and January from BPS to $50.
 After selling at 9.A for October, 9. 50 for December and 951 for January, the ad- vance was checked by the realizing nf parties who had bought early in the ses- sion on the idea that the bureau report might be bullish. and who apparently pre- ferred taking profits to carrying their commitments over Sunday in view of the weakness in the stock market and the usual demand for active cotton. When prices had sagged off a few points from the top. however. the market steadied and finally closed very steady at to 10 points higher. Sales were estimated at 300 OC0 bales

Chicago Drainage Canal is Not a

Chicago, Oct 3.-Chicago's City Council is preparing to attack the validity of the act creating Chicago's S40,000, 900 drainake canal. The Finance Committee of the Council has formally advised CorporatiO Counsel Holman to bring m action in ths Supreme Court of the State next week. A threatened depletion of the city's water fund with possible deficit is the strong est force behind the Aldermen. although Cicero was added to the sanitary dis trict.
 By the provisions of that act, Chicago will be required to furnish the residents of Cicero water at cents per 1000 gal Ions. while it's own citizens pay 10 cents per 1000 gallons. The Aldermen say it would mean the expenditure of $550, 900 to extend the mains.
