WELL SITUATED FOR
 THE IRON INDUSTRY
THURSTON F. ALLEN POINTS OUT. THE ADVANTAGES OF SHEF- FIELD AND FLORENCE IN EcoN- oMY OF PRODUCTION.

Chattanooga, March 27-Thurston H. Allen, writing the Tradesman this week. has the following to say of Sheffield and Florida, Ala. 4. As our ideas of the value of a loca- tion for an iron or other industry are affected and influenced by comparison, we will draw one between Florence and Shelf field on the Tennessee river, and Birm- ingham. Ala, using the Wayne county Tennessee, ore fields as a basis of supply of raw material.
 II will be found that there is an ad- vantage in favor of Florence and Shelf field over Birmingham of at least $l 90 her ton of the finished product to the consumer.
 Florence and Sheffield get their coke now from Jasper Ala paying S. 20 per aOOo pounds at the furnace While there is no difference between the two localities in iron ore fiuxes. there is decided diff ference on account of transportation to majority of the consumers of pig iron and wrought iron billets.
 | have examined other locations and have carefully analysed all there is in them to enable me to intelligently draw a comparison with this and other points of which I have some knowledge. and am surprised at the apparent difference there is in favor of the Florence and Shef- field location
 I know of no locality so favoraby sit uated and surraunded, with all that is necessary for a successful iron industry. of an unlimited proportion as on the Tennessee river at Florence and Shef- field, Ala.
 
 Summing up our conclusions. we find that at Birmingham the cost of produce ing and preparing the ore is greater; that the cost of coke per ton of iron is great CT; that the cost of fuxing Is practically the same; that the cost of labor at the

furnaces for equal tonnage handled is the same.
 Furthermore, when we come to com pare the value of the finished output, we find, with an equal burden in the stock, that at Birmingham the standard mix ture, six-eighths hard ore, yields 3S to S9 per cent of pig. and the mixture with one-half hard ore yields 43 per cent pig, while at Florence and Sheffield the standard mixture of 100 per cent brown hematite yields 50 per cent pig In other words, with less cost of raw material and with the same labor, and with the same interest on our investment we get some 10 per cent more pig iron; also we get an iron of better quality.

FRAU WAGNER WILL NOT CONSIDER IT.
Against the Proposition to Open an Ex-

Since the "ParsifaI' excitement last winter fol-
lowers Of Wagner have been considering the open
ing OF theatre in this city. especially for the
duction OF Wagnerian operas. They have not met
encouragement from Frau Wagner who writes
from Bayreuth that she cannot consider the foun-
dation OF any o1shoots from that famous opera
house.
Al the request or Jnose who were interested IN
a Wagner theatre for New-York,' 30 said Gilbert
Ray HaWes OF No. 120 Broadway, who represents
the Wagner estate in this country, Il wrote TO
Frau Wagner, and in detail set before her the
plans OF the proposed theatre 1t was 10 be built
Ike the Bayreuth establishment. and TO fol-
low it closely possible in other particulars.
The auditorium TO be dark during the opera
and applause prohibited. Another idea TO
enter into arrangement whereby original
tunes and music could be secured for use here.
Frau Wagner replies that she cannot consider
any such proposition for several reasons In the
first place she has her hands full at Bayreuth, and
undertake greater responsibilities. Then,
too, she doubts IL there is sufficient Wagner in

Office; but as he has declared that he will retire
from active politics and viii not accept any Office
if-that is a big word in this cOnnectiOn-Mr.
Parker should be elected, he must look elsewhere
