FOUNDRY IRON IS
BECOMING SCARCE
1t is Thought That Prices VIII
Jump
STOCKS ARE VERY LOW
l ar1a Na4u out af The
locks ARE VERY LOW
Large Companies Are Now Out of the
Market-The Blast Furnaces at
Thomas Are to Make Only
Basic Iron.

The upward tendency of the Birming-
ham iron market is becoming more
marked every day Inquiries are very ae-
tive and stocks are comparatively small.
Two or three of the large furnace COM
panles are out of the market.
Foundry iron has not been as scarce
for long time as 1t Is now and the
chances are that the output will show
a still further decrease before the fall.
It is understood that the Republic fur
naces at Thomas will be changed to
basic producers. At present the Tennessee
company has only three furnaces max
ing foundry iron The Alabama Con-
solldated company's Gadsden furnace is
making basic iron for the Southern Steel
company. The Laeey-Buek Iron COM
panys furnace at Trussvlle is still out
of blast The Vanderbilt Is out of blast.
There are now less than a dozen fur
naces in Alabama turning out foundry
grades.
Labor scarcity is being felt more than
ever Several furnaces have been banked
temporarily this week because limestone
or other material was lacking, all on
account of labor shortage. And iron
makers say that this condition is not
apt to improve In the near future.
The iron market has been quiet at
s1S. 50 on No. 2 foundry basis. but from
all indications 1t will harden at s14 within
the next few days.
Continued prosperity will keep the
meters busy all the year and a brisk
buying movement will, it Is thought in
well informed circles, send the price up
to $15. and perhaps much higher.

WILL DRILL FOR MEDAL.
jefferson Volunteers to Give Exhibl'
ton on Third Ave. Monday Night.

The Jefferson Volunteers will hold a
prize drill on Third avenue between
Ninteenth and Twentieth streets Monday
night at which time the company will
drill for the semi-annual medal, the
monthly medal and the regimental medal.
The company has the regimental medal
offered for the best drilled man In the
regiment. 1t was won at the encampment
preceding the one held In Mobile this
month. At the Mobile encampment the
drill for the medal was not held and for
that reason 1t remains in possession of the
company for another year.
The company has half a dozen men who
are considered among the best drilled in
the Third regiment, and the competition
will be very Keen among the various men.

Hawley.

The character of the statement in
which w. G Hawley's candidacy for
congressman from this district is an
nounced, ought to leave no room for
the repu blicans to doubt as to which
man they ought to name as their candi-
date. Hawley's platform, except for
lis unnecessary length, is the produce
tion of statesman. His mental hor-
lion is that of a MAN. His grasp of
conditions is from the plane OF bigness
and breadth Of view. His words are
not those OF carping politician, but Of
IA constructive leader. Above all, he is
clean man, whose hand would never
be out for the graft that is already
over much in vogue in Washington.
They say however, he cannot be
elected, because he is not politician
enough. Heaven help the republicans
if they caunot recognize the difference
between statesman and politician,
and if they come to the pass where
they will turn down the one and glorify
the other,-Corvalls Times.
