PIG IRON IS NOW
 FIRM AT ADVANCE
NO. 2 FOUNDRY IS NOW QUOTED AT $to.25@$1o.5o-lNoUIRiEs ARE VERY PERsIsTENT-HEAvY RE- DUcTloN IN STOCKS.

The Birmingham iron market is firm at $10. .25a1O. 50 on a No. 3 basis. Inquiries have been persistent this week but con- paratively few manufacturers are in the market. Consumers seem eager to buy.
 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular of yesterdays date says:
 Although there is no abnormal activity in the pig iron market the frmness of prices noted in previous reports con- tainues. and advances are being made in various directions. Northern Ohio furnaces have found 1t practicable to ob- tain somewhat better prices on current orders, and number of the southern producers feel that conditions will justify an advance of 50 cents per ton. The heavy reduction in stocks during the past month shows that consumption is greater than production and that the increase In out put has been principally on Bessemer iron. So far as can be learned 1t Is not probable that many furnaces can be put Into operation on foundry iron. and 1t is fair to suppore that stocks will continue to decrease.
 lHt lotdi uccuhiuiaiioh oi pis Hon as all the merchant furnaces is now about the same that 1t was in February. 1901. from which point the stocks declined dur ing period of about two years. It amounts to practically two weeks output and certainly does not constitute much of a reserve.
 Previous to this time the attitude of hat not care to figure on their requirements for the last half of the year, but since stocks have begun to run off and prices have been advanced there Is more in- quiry Producers as rule. however. content themselves with making sales for the ensuing three months and prefer to take their chances on market conditions thereafter, feeling that prices will not be lower. and may be higher.

THREE RESIDENCES ARE
 DAMAGED BY THE FLAMES

It looks as if ineendiaries are at work in the neighborhood of Thirtieth street be- tween Avenues c and II. Yesterday two more houses were burned and a third was damaged by fire. Only Wednesday morn ing two others, just across the street on Thirtieth street, were burned down.
 The two residences burned yesterday were the property of B. o. Watkins. who is out of the city. The fire originated in the residence occupied by w. D. Forbes and 1t was damaged to the extent of $l200. The loss is covered by insurance to the amount of $2OOO The building was worth about s4OO0. The contents were val ued at s25oO and covered by $500 insurance. The loss to the contents was about $500.
 The fire spread to the residence of W. l.. Agee which is also owned by MT. Wat kins, and did damage to about the same extent. The furniture was valued at

 The residence of J. w. Moore was slight 1y damaged. The loss was covered by in- surance. The houses are nearly a mile from the nearest fire station, which is Five Points, and the flames had gained such headway before the firemen put in an appearance that 1t was difficult to quench them Both houses were on fire and were burning rapidly when the fire apparatus arrived. and Chief Mullin says that under the condition the fremen did excellent work to prevent both of them from burning to the ground. Only the roof and top story of each building was damaged.
 Chief Mullln said yesterday afternoon that another station was badly needed in the section of the city where these two fires have done so much damage, and also that one is needed near Richmond Place.

AUBURN IS WINNER
 IN THE CONTEST
STATE COLLEGES REPRE- SENTED IN STRUGGLE FOR ORA ToRIcAL CHAMPIONSHIP AT HOWARD LAST NIGHT.

The second annual contest of the Ala Howard college the Southern university at Greensboro and the Alabama Poly technic institute at Auburn were repre- scented, was held last night in the assem- bly, hall at Howard college. The medal and the state championship were awarded to J. McDuffie of Auburn after an ora torica combat that was at times bril- liant and was loudly applauded by the supporters of the various contestants.
 The chapel was filled to overflowing with an enthusiastic crowd in which sympathy for the three colleges represented seemed to be equally divided. College yells were much in evidence, and the greatest en- thusiasm prevailed until the decision was announced close to the hour or midnight.
 Each of the orators for the evening ac- quilted himself creditably and excelled in various points, but the decision of the judges was generally satisfactory, and the fortunate medal winner was showered with congratulations. The University hf Alabama is a member of the State Ora IOTlCdl dSbOcldtlOn, put NllllultW hl luc last moment, and was without a represen- tative. Those who took part were J. 0. Colley of Howard, who delivered an ora tion entitled "Visions;" D. H. McNeal, who represented the Southern university, and spoke on "rhe Obligations of the Strong" and J. McDuffie of Auburn, whose oration was entitled "The Suprem- acy of Law" The decision of the judges was based on oratory and composition. On both these points MT. McDuffie was adjudged first among the contestants.
 MT. McDuffie, the medalst, devoted himself to a discussion of the mob versus law, a subject which permitted him at times to reach eloquent periods. The pop ularity of his theme was attested by the interest awakened in the audience and the generous applause he received.
 At the conclusion of the contest the judges retired and after more than half an hours deliberation announced the winner The announcement was made and the medal awarded by the Rev. Quincy Ewing. with few appropriate re- marks. The officers of the association then held a meeting to transact minor business before adjournment. A commit tee will decide on the next place of meet ing, which will be either at Howard or at Montgomery.
 The speakers were introduced by Presi- dent J. T. s. Wade of the association. The soloists on the programme were MT. Bell Miss Hurley and Mrs Bernard. The order of exercises was as follows:
