BRILLIANT PROMISE FOR IRON MARKET Distinct Improvement is Noted
 in England SOUTHERN PRICES FIRM Steel Corporation VIII Close Contract for 10000 to 15,ooo Tons of Bes-
 semer Pig for Septem-
 Der Delivery.
SOUTHERN PRICES FIRM

New York, September 14.-The Iron Age in it's issue of today says a review Of the whole iron industry justifies the general statement that it Is enjoying great present activity and a brilliant promise for the future. The usual doubts as to an adequate amount of work Tor the winter months have not arisen even thus year and the outlook is for work at high pressure well into next spring. Added to this came reports of dis tinct improvement in Engltr1 whose business has been tagging until lately the continent having sent cheerful results since the early summer.
 One system has asked for S5'0OO tons and another for 10000 tons.
 It is reported that today negotiations will be closed for the sale to the steel cor poration of 10000 to 15.O0O tons of Besse- mer pig iron for September delivery.
 It is estimated that the leading interests will need between 35,000 and 10000 tons per month of Bessemer pig iron during the balance of this year.
 Some very large requirements for foun- dry iron are coming up in the Pittsburg district between 25,OOO and SO,OOO tons be- ing referred to as the requirements of some large consumers. Some of the lead ing melters in the Chicago district are in the market in lots of 5000 tons and under. Some business has been closed in the Cincinnati market but on the whole the southern furnaces are not, apparently, pushing sales. Reports of the acceptance of s11.5O to $11.75 for No. Birmingham, by some of the smaller furnace interests, continue to come. The large companies are firm.
 The estimating departments of the man. ufacturers of structural material are ex- ceedingy busy, so that the prospect of large volume of work is excellent. The pressure for delivery of material continues heavy.

lNJUNCTIONS HIDE
 DENS OF INIQUITY
M'ADoo SAYS COURT. ORDERS ARE GREATEST OBSTACLES TO CLOS ING RAG TRAc.. POOL ROOMS IN NEW YoR.<..

New York, September 1.-The greatest obstacle to closing the race track pool rooms in New York was today declared by Police Commissioner McAdoo to be the injunctions granted by the courts in fa- vor of pool rooms. MT. McAdoo said:
 aThe police are confident that many os these places from which they are re- strained by injunction are running as poolrooms. It Is practice now among places which secured injunctions to re- main quiet for while. to let the injunc- ton soak in. Lawyers then threaten me with peril and damages If 1 raise a fin- ger Then slowly, but surely, with patrons who are carefully identified, and so well known as to be safe and steady customers the place is launched on it's career of crime.
 'I say this because I am constantly in receipt of appeals from people living in neighborhoods where they claim pool ro oms are being run. l have before me now fearful letter from a father who tells me that his son is being ruined by playing the races in a place where the police are enjoined from interfering. In this place, as in others, a fictitious busi- ness is conducted, as a mask to the viola ton of law. The total number of such places is large and they are increasing each day"

NEW CABLES FOR
 CHINA AND JAPAN
LINES WILL BE LAID DIRECT TO YOKOHAMA AND SHANGHAI FROM MAIN LINES IN THE PA cIFIc OCEAN.

New York September H.-Through American enterprise the way has been won to connect the western continent by direct submarine telegraphic lines with the empires of Japan and China. Clarence M. Mackay, president of the Commercial Pacific Cable company, today made the announcement that his company had se- cured the necessary concessions to enter Yokohama, Japan, and Shanghai, China. Yesterday the last step in a series of dip- lomatic negotiations which were begun at the wish of President Mckinley, and which have extended over a period of about three years, was taken when MT. Takahira, the Japanese minister to the United States, affixed his signature to Japans agreement with the Commercial Cable company for landing rights at Yo- kohama. An agreement for landing rights at Shanghai was signed by China several weeks ago.
 When these new cables are completed, MT. Mackay said their length, added to other cables already laid or about to be built will form part of a system which extends two-thirds of the distance around the globe. The cable connections with both Japan and China will be made by ex- tending the present lines of the company which run from San Francisco through the stations of Honolulu, Midway Island Guam and Manila. Japan will be reached by laying a cable from Guam in the Pa cifc ocean, direct to Yokohama. The cable to China will be laid from Manila to Shanghai

"Ihe Seminary Girl"

"The Seminary Girl" as presented at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night proved to be rather color less. There was no vlvacity and the per formance was lacking in the sprightly qualities necessary to the success of a musical comedy. With one or two ex- captions. the company seemed to be la boring under the handicap of small house last night. Few players seemed 10 take any interest in the performance.
 However, there were some bright spots. Knute Erickson, in the novel role of a lunatic, was funny and original to a de- gree. Mir. Erckson's comedy was de- cidedly different from the usual product and while he was on the stage the au- dience was well pleased.
 One or two pretty song numbers were rendered and the introductory song Of the second act was well received. This number was also prettily staged

INCREASE IS SHOWN
 IN TAX COLLECTIONS

'T am gratified with the returns in my office so far this year." said MT. Gam bill. q knew the city needed all the money 1t could get and l must confess that I have been forced to press the peo- pie and urge upon them the importance of meeting their tax obligations. Besides showing a much large collection than at the same time last year, the books at the end of the year will show an in crease over the total collections of the preceding twelve months. I attribute this to the growth of Birmingham"
 MT. Gambll says he does not intend to stop going after the people and by De- eember 31 he hopes to be able to wipe of all old accounts and start out the new year on a clean ledger.

Street tax and license collections, up to the time the collectors office closed last night, show and increase of $2O0O0 over the twelve months ending September IA, 1904. This is considered remarkable showing and indicates the prosperity of the city and tells of the push and en- ergy which exists in the office of A. A. Gambill, the collector. He has been untir- ing in his efforts to make people pay promptly and the results show that his work has not been without reward
 At the close of the days work yester- day, the books showed a total collec- ton of $19S,729 This amount represents less than nine months or nearly as much as the receipts for the year 1904, which were about $2OOOO0.
