REDUCTION IN PRICE
 LIKE CLAP OF THUNDER
Break In Prices Cannot Help But
 Have Disquieting Effect, Says Iron Age.

New York. June 2O-The Iron Age to- morrow will say:
 Almost like a clap of thunder from a clear sky has come the dissolution of the Southern Furnace association. an unus- ually short-liyed organization, based upon agreement among the leading Birmingham furnace companies. One of the principal transactions was the sale of 10000 tons to the International Harvester company at Sl3 for No. foundry, decline of sl be- low the nominal price recently quoted
 This break in prices cannot help but have a disquieting effect. It came at a time when in other sections the makers were showing some strength. Only few days since leading Buffalo makers had sent out orders to their salesmen to ad- vance prices p cents per ton. In compeu- tive territory an adjustment Of prices of foundry iron must follow unless the ton mage which the southern makers feel II necessary to book should only be moder- ate In such competitive markets south ern iron is now freely offered at $l3 20 to sls. 50 for No. foundry Birmingham.
 It must be clearly understood that the situation Is entirely different in the mar kets for steel aiiing iron. The demand for finished material Is very good The leading interest during the first fifteen days of this month booked aggregate or orders if excess of its shipping rec ords The railmakers have added 2b,oO tons for the Missouri Pacific to their lSp1 commitments. One of the large contracts which is coming into the market is 23- GOO to 40. GOO tons of structural material Tor the yards and buildings of the New fork Central terminal
 There has been surprisingly large vol ume of business lately considering the sea- son for wire products and sales aggresai- ing 10000 tons of steel bars for delivery during the year beginning July l have been made

 After this week there will be but one more week of summer entertainment at the Bijou. A strong vaudeville bill has been provided for next week, which will no doubt prove good drawing card.
 Although the Bijou is a, winter play house exclusively, the attendance during the summer season thus far has been very good. The house will be put in first class condition for the beginning of the regular season.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Bijou.

When one considers that 1t Is summer time and consequently hot. the attend ance at the Bijou this week is most grati- flying. Max Hoffman's clever company has won many friends, and an audience of winter-time proportions last night en- Joyed the performance. MT. Hoffman's 8 tuneful music is a most attractive feature. although Gertrude Hoffman wins honors by her dancing and mimicry She mlmics a number of stage stars, including Mary Marble and Little Chip, with whom she was associated in the Bijou Musical Com edy company. The baseball burlesque of "Slivers Oakley is also one of the strong comedy features. Tn the Swim" is a pleasing song number which is partici- pated in by the Seminary Boys and the winsome "Seminary Girls" while "Sli- vers'' Oakley emerges "The Lone Huntsman.' There will be a matinee this evening and the usual performance will be given tonight.

Old Piece of Money

Uncle Hick Cheatham of Forces
ton was in the city today exhibiting
a piece of money that is log years
old. This monetary relic is a $500
bill issued by the State Bank of Ma
con, Ca, in 1900. It is of the same
texture as currency of the present
day, but contained printing only on
one side. The printing from the plate
is still legible, but the signatures of
the bank officials are too dim to
be read without the aid of a micro
scope. Mr.. Cheatham has been carry
ing this bill since before the Civil
war, and prizes it very highly as a
memento of early banding days.
