REPUBLIC GO. MAY
 OFFER BOND ISSUE
IN GOOD POSITION TO SECURE WHAT IT NEEDS IN THE WAY OF MONEY FROM A SALE OF BONDS.
1e Wall Street Journal says:

The Wall Street Journal says;
 The renewed report that the Rebublic Iron and Steel company awaits only an opportune time in the securities market to announce a bond issue of not less than $2.00O,000 and probably more, comes from exceptionally well informed quarters.
 It has invariably been denied by the management that bond issue was con- templated. but that an issue may soon be made seems extremely likely.
 The Republic Iron and Steel company has paid no dividends on it's outstanding s2O, 300 of preferred stock since October. 1903. all subsequent dividends having been passed. In October 1t will owe sl, ,1ss deferred dividends.
 For the purpose of rehabilitating it's working capital so that it may pay divi- dends and carry forward the comprehen- sive plan of new construction, so as to secure best results from It's numerous plants the company needs money. That the required cash Is to be raised at the proper time by bond issue is considered certain.
 The company is in good position to se- cure what 1t needs through a bond issue when the bond market will permit. It has no bonded debt. Its total stock issues consist of $27 91,000 common and $20, 416, 300 preferred. Its loss in working capital within four years exceeds $3,000,0O0 or nearly $1000,00O year, and 1t has not yet carried to completion its unification of properties plan.
 At full capacity the annual output of the company is estimated at 100000 tons of finished iron and steel and 600O0O tons of pig iron. This year 1t has not aver aged 50 per cent of It's full capacity, but for the fourth quarter anticipates heavy output.
 In the last full year of operations re- ported by the company-1902-3 entire gross business was $4,12s, 499, the net s2,- 74O,S99 and dividends paid $1, ,437, ,0S2, leav- ing surplus of S1,313,S16. In 19OO-1 1t re- ported deficit of $l.112,3S4.
 The variations of the stock issues last year and this year to date are shown as follows:

STRIKE SITUATION QUIET
 AND IRON OUTPUT SMALL


 The first week of the strike passed without any noticeable change in the situation.
 The miners who quit work on the first of July, pending a settlement, and who decided to strike last Monday have re- mained away from their work and so far as has been recorded there has not been the slightest outbreak or violation of the law. When the strike was order- ed by the convention the men were urged by President Flynn to keep order and be careful not to commit any overt act, and the miners seem to be unanimous in governing themselves accordingly.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company has banked it's three fur naces within the last three days. The Republic has just put It's No. furnace at Thomas out of blast. There are now

only nine furnaces in this district mak- ing foundry iron. Of this number the sloss-sheffield company has six running. the Republic has one and the Tutwiler company and the Lacey-Buek company each operates one. It has been many years since so few stacks were on the active list.
 The Tennessee company Is running five furnaces at Ensley but they are turning out vasic iron for the steel mill. not pound of foundry iron. Just how much effect the decrease in furnace output on the iron market will have remains to be seen. That it will have some stimulating effect on consumers is regarded as cer- tain. One of the best informed iron manu- lecturers said yesterday that he felt sure buyers would be very much in evidence in August. Birmingham found iron No. 3 has been selling recently at S9.50.
