The Alabama State Federation of Col ored Women's Clubs concluded it's eighth annual session yesterday at 2:45 D. m.
 A friend of the organization said last night:
 From many points of view this convene tion has been one of the most interest ing in the history of the clubs, certainly none has been more businesslike. The sessions were characterized by a lively but orderly dispatch of business, seldom witnessed in mems conventions. There was no wasting of time over mooted points or order although rulings did not always go unchallenged. In short, these women impressed an outsider as indeed earnest. intent upon a mission which should be speedily accomplished
 Judge Feagin had suggested the advs- ability of an early beginnn9 of their work in the behalf of wayward negro boys. in a small way, not waiting for money enough to purchase a large acre. age whereon to erect an imposing struc- ture.
 . Acting on the Judges advice the feder- alton voted to purchase at once twenty acres of farm and wooded lands in Mont gomery county upon which to erect a cottage of three or four rooms. built in such way that it could be added to if occasion demanded.
 Out of a fund of $700 or $500 already on hand they voted to purchase the land, reserving balance for current expense, but the cottage Is to be built from club and individual contributions. In further ance of this plan several dollars and a considerable quantity of furniture. bed ding and other household effects were i'm mediately subscribed, subject to the call of the secretary.
 It is the full intention and plan of the federation to have their reforma- tory running on a small scale by the opening of their ninth annual conven- tion in Selma one year hence.

Puryeyors of food generally report a falling off in their business at this season of the year, occasioned by two reasons first, because people eat less in the sum mer time and second and principally, be- cause all who are able to do so get out of the city during the heated season, Those who remain. the grocers say, are somewhat choice in what they eat, de- manding the freshest and the best Vege- tables that can be procured and the ripest and juciest of fruits in the market
 Granted that people already know enough about meat and meat prices, fol- lowing are some of the good things listed that are quite appropriate to the season and the temper of the public mindi

Matthew Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port for the week says:
 The week just ended marks the close of the first half of 1906, which estab- fishes a record in the iron and steel trade. Consumption has been greater dur Ing the past six months than ever be- fore. Business continues excellent, and a large tonnage has been booked during the past week. A glance at the situation in the iron producing sections of the country gives us every reason to believe that the present prosperous state of af- fairs must continue The valley furnaces are sold up on their production and many of them are practically out of the mar ket. Among the Ohio furnacemen the feel ing is especially optimistic. Most of them have disposed of their output through the third quarter and some of them even claim to be taken care of for the entire last half. Buying in this quarter has been liberal and prices have advanced, the ruling quotation now being $16.50 Iron ton for No. 2 foundry.
 In the south the furnaces continue to ship out iron just as fast as 1t is made. Vast quantities have been sold for third quarter delivery, and buyers are already beginning to urge prompt shipment of their lron and production is still off.
 Basic and Bessemer continue in active demand and several large malleable deals are reported.
 That the general tone of the market is decidedly healthy and the feeling d most buoyant one there can be no doubt. The recent activity has not been in the form of furry" but represents bona fire purchases of iron to cover con- tracts actually placed for finished ma terial. The outlook for the balance of the year seems exceptionally bright from every view point.
 The coke market is active and prices are firm. There is every prospect of the sS price on 72 hour foundry coke being maintained, and large contracts for Con nellsville furnace coke are being placed at $2.50.
