 Will Borrow Engines.
 The Louisville and Nashville Rail- road will borrow fifteen locomotives from friendly railroad not competi- tor to help for several weeks in moving OIL IHe ldIEG dluOuul ol tEaitiC bildt has been blocking the system, especially on the South and North Division and on the Nashville and Decatur and Montgomery and Mobile divisons. The block Is quite extensive, the shortage of locomotive power being the cause entirely. On the South and North di- visions from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning all the engines on the mineral branches are used on tine main line to move off the accommodating traf- fic, but this Is not paving much effect, The Louisville and Nashville Railroad. from Decatur to Mobile, at least, is doing the heaviest business in it's his- tory and the need of more locomotive power Is growing more and more no- tfceable.
 It is stated that the management is making an effort to secure fifteen To- comotiyes for few weeks to assist in moving the traffic until the rush Is over a little and there is hope of the effort being successful in fact 1t Is learned that one of the Southern groups of railroads will accommodate the Louisville and Nashville with engines to help out A railroad man in speak ing of conditions said today: The traffic is simply heavy. The pig iron in particular is very strong, the manufacturers making effort to move every ton of iron they can get cars for, while the coal, regular traffic and other movement are as heavy as they ever were. The railroads are do- ing a tremendous business out of Btr- mingham just now and there Is no in- dication of big break in conditions for some time to come"

A report which was sent out from the West that Birmingham iron manufacturers were selling their iron from twenty-five to fifty cents less now than they did some weeks since. is not generally admitted. There Is not great amount of iron to be had for delivery during the second quarter of the year, and then Is the buying for the coming two weeks will be as healthy as it has been during the last three weeks, there will be but lit tie of the product to be disposed of dur ing the second quarter of the year.
