WEEK OF STRENGTH
 IN IRON MARKET
NO SENSATIONAL FEATURES BUT OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL-ANDP PIG IRON IS IN DEMAND WITH SALES LARGE

Cleveland, o. August 2.-(Special)-Th Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 "The week has been one of quiet strength. While there have been no sensational feature and the pis iron market has not displayed the activity of two weeks ago, there is no basis for anything except a very hopeful view. Shipments of ore from the Lake Superior ranges in June were within $50 tons of bOO0,0O0. The reports for July are not yet complete, but it seems certain that the total shipments will exceed those of July.
 "The selling of pig iron has continued steadily in nearly all centers, and sales aggregate a large tonntage, although they are made up for the most part of small orders Tn the Cleveland district sales aggregating nearly 5O,oOo tons of all grades have been made within week and prices are firm. Among the sales made by a Cleveland company were about 600,0O0 tons of malleabe at s14 30 valley While 1t is still possible to buy foundry iron at $l400 for No. valley, many furnaces are hold ing for s1450 and are not willing to sell below that price except in small lots for immediate delivery The demand for Bessemer pig iron in the Chicago district has been so strong that three or four furnaces which have often made foun- dry grades have been producing Bes- semer for some time. Two new furn- aces to run on foundry iron for the Chi capo district are to be built this year
 "Tn finished lines the pressure on the mills for structural materials Is con- stantly increasing, and many plants can not promise delivery any time this year" "

RAILROAD WORLD.

The Wall Street Journal says:
 A. J. Davidson, president of the Frisco railroad, who has just made an inspec- ton trip covering every mile of his com panys lines in the southwest, says:
 During the past two weeks l have made trip over every mile of our prop critics in the southwest and feel much en- couraged over the outlook. l made thorough investigation in regard to crop prospects, and conditions are much bet ter than I expected to find them, in view of excessive rainfall in the past two or three months.
 Tn the Indian and Oklahoma territories small grain is fully % per cent better than last year. Oklahoma territory will produce 15, ,0O0 00 bushels of wheat, which will be an Average yield of twelve bushels per acre.
 "rhe cotton acreage in Oklahoma and Indian territories is approximately the same as last year In some portions there Is decreased acreage, while in others there Is slight increase in acreage, and we will handle the same amount of cotton as last year.
 III nOTln leNdS lne SHldJ BT1ilH crop was seriously damaged by excessive rain- fall Grain remained in the shock from June , until June 15, and the greater DOT tion of 1t was damaged to such an extent it would not pay to thresh it. This, how ever, does not affect conditions seriously in Texas, the acreage in oats and wheat is very small compared to other agricultural products.
 Tt Is somewhat difficult to estimate the cotton crop of Texas. From personal ob- servation and information, l am of the opinion there will be a decrease in the cot ton crop in Texas of fully 10 to 15 per cent. The plant was badly damaged in the lowlands on account of the heavy rainfall
 Tn Kansas the wheat crop is very promising. A conservative estimate is TO- 100000 bushels, while in my opinion 1t will be nearer 75,0O0,000 bushels. The average yield per acre is eighteen bushels.
 ''rhe corn crop in the entire southwest is larger and in better condition than In any previous year. It Is practically made in north Texas and the southern portion of Indian and Oklahoma territories. It will need another rain in Kansas and the northern portion of the territories so that unless some unusual weather condi- tions prevail we will have bumper corn crop.
 Business conditions generally In the entire southwest are much easier than they were this time last year. Deposits of farmers in banks are larger than they have been before and with satisfactory conditions prevailing there is every pros- pect of good business for the railroads serving that territory.
 There is a steady emigration going into the Indian territory since the allot- ments have been made, and it is possible to secure clear title to the rich agricul- tural lands"
 w. A. Garrett, general manager of the Queen and Crescent. will arrive in Bir- mingham this morning on a special train.
 Seaboard engineers are actively at work in the Birmingham district. It is under stood that the Seaboard will build into the coal fields.

 In receiving the gift. Chief Mullin made a sincere and characteristically modest speech of thanks. If it was true, as Mir. Jones had said, that the men honored and loved him, it was equally true that he loved and honored them. He had been in the department long time, said he. and had made many devoted friends. He had found the men loyal. enthusiastic and faithful and it was with deep regret that now, after giving the best twenty years of his life to the service, he must retire from 1t. He had, however, been compelled to do so for personal reasons. in closing Chief Mullin repeated his thanks for the honor the men had shown him. When he took his seat the council chamber resounded with applause.
 A committee of firemen was present at the presentation.

 Local and Personal News
 of Selma.
 

Selma, August 2.-(Special.) )-There has been little else talked about on the streets of Selma today except the case of yellow fever in Montgomery. The citizens seem about evenly divided on the proposition of quarantinng against Montgomery but the health board and the city authorities have decided not to place the ban on Montgomery unless another case occurs All passengers on the train from Mont gomery who had been in the latter city any length of time and expected to re- main in Selma were required to report to the county health officer each day so that they may be kept up with. Dr. Gay, the county health officer, met the train on the outskirts of the city and took the names of all who were aboard, at the same time ordering those who expected to remain in the city to report to him each day at noon. By this course should any one of the visitors become i'll 1t will be known at once.
 Fighting Mosquitoes.
 The city and county authorities have been confronted with serious problem in their fight against mosquitoes. In the Plattenburg addition, located in the north ern part of the city, there are many low places where the water collects and will not run off. To drain this part of the city presented task more expensive than the authorities could undertake at this time. They decided today, however, to drain the water into certain pools which can be oiled and in this way exterminate the larvae of the mosquitoes.
