New Fire Basis.

The fire insurance companies have agreed to put this city on the first-class basis, all conditions of fire protection in the business district having been declared acceptable. The underwriters will put the business district on that basis even before it can be rerated, by granting rebates from the time of the appointment of Captain Bennett as chief of the fire department
 This substantial reduction in insur- ance rates applies to the entire busi ness district, bounded by Ninth avenue on the north, Twenty-sixth street on the east Avenue G on the south, and Fourteenth street on the west-a dis trict nearly a mile and a half square.
 The Age-Herald is proud of the fact that it had part in leading up to this reduction in insurance rates in Bir mingham by inducing the city authori- ti>5 to take steps to put the fire depart ment on proper footing. When Cap tain Bennett has reorganized the fire department and fire stations are estab- lished in Norwood and on Fountain Heights, there will not be much room for complaint on the part of the insur- ance companies. The maintenance of the fire department will hereafter cost the city s13O,0OO a year, and that is of itself considerable tax, but it is needful and economic tax.

The Iron Market.

"While apparently there is a slaekening in the east and south in some grades of iron," said a Pittsburg man, "and or ders in the Pittsburg district are not num- erous, yet manufacturers in that section are satisfied with conditions. Those who are in position to properly guage con ditions say that 1t Is only a lull. and soon the demand will break out anew.
 ''The slackening in the price of southern foundry iron a few weeks ago caused many manufacturing concerns to hold off placing orders. This is especially true of some of the big engineering concerns of the west. They are merely buying for immediate requirements. believing that it will only be a short time until they can buy pig iron cheaper than they can now. The same holds true of buyers in the east, who patronize the eastern Pennsyl- vania and the Virginia furnaces. But this is not the belief in the Pittsburg district.
 ''The furnace production for February and March will show a fallng off, owing to the closing down of several stacks. One of these is the Mckinley furnace at Youngstown, O., which has a capacity of 600 tons a day. Several other small stacks in Ohio have been closed down for repairs"
