brought to the Herald office a new
bean with which he has been expert

birmingham. Ala. Feb. lot is rumored that
the International Power Company. which now con-

co-nnsny or the latter company itself IS nesc-
ststing for the purchase of the shefneld Coal and

t~rests ars at Birmingham.
TIE shefleId Coal and Coke Company owns three
large furnaces whioh have been greatly improved
since the purchase cf these properties by some
Chicago capitalist few years ago. These rurnors
cannot be confirmed, but. in view OF the powerful
influences that in control OF the Alabama Con-
solidated and of ths International Power. and the
tremendous activity in Tennessee Coal and Iron
and Republic stocks to-day. il is evident that the
great iron and steel leaders OF the country well
as the great hnancieTs, have at last fully walked
up 10 the fact that Alabama is to dominate the
steel Industry OF the country, just as II now sets
the price for every ton Of pig iron sold in the
United States.
The enormous output Of iron reported by this
weeks Iron Age at the rate of nearly 81 600 900
tons year. is strainng the iron producing centres
of the North, and. as iron production has doubled
every ten years for half century far sighted men
are looking TO Alabama as the one region of Amer
