Sale Conhrmed.

A decree confirming the sale of the property of the defunct Lookout Noun tain Iron Company and confirming the report of A. c. Birch. ihereferee in bankruptcy, was today rendered in the United States Court. The property, &C., cording to the referees report, was bid in by first mortgage bondhelders for s3O9 000. With the confirmation of the sale by the court the trustee was au- thorized to make out a deed. Just as soon as certain assets are collected by the trustee and controversies over cer- tain liens are settled. the matter will be entirely closed. Some of the liens are being fought by the trustee.
 The decree of the court was based upon a report of the referee. which also included report on the evidence heard Saturday to ascertain the amount of attorneys fees. All attorneys, includ- ing those for the bondholders, receiver, trustee trustee under the mortgage, trustee, receiver and those representlng g the petitioning creditors will be paid out of the S39, 400 advanced by the pur- chasers to liquidate the costs of the bankruptcy proceedings The record shows the amount of all the fees but 1t IS something the public is not gen. orally interested in.
 The courts order was in the nature of a consent decree and was made upon recommendation of the referee in bank ruptcy. Fees will be distributed be- tween lawyers in Birmingham, Cinctn- natl and Chattanooga.
 This is a case that has been long drawn out and all persons concerned seem to welcome the fact that it will

 Selling Agents Coming.
 With a view of looking over local iron conditions and offering suggest tious for next year. sales agents and assistants in the Tennessee Republic companies will reach Birmingham to. morrow and Sunday. They will hold several meetings here next week for the purpose of exchanging views as re- gards the iron markets in various ceu- tsrs of the United States and also for the purpose of giving out impressions of Birmingham properties.
 The iron production of the compan- les represented by the agents has been quarter of next year. It is said that the production of other iron centers has ben sold up for many months to come. and the agents are greatly ham iicapped because of the in iity of the furnaces to turn out the raw products as fast as it is required by the finish ing plants. and the transportation fa- of the problems discussed at the meet
 While the agents and their assis- tanrs are here they will visit all the bt@ plants of the companies they rep resent, watch the methods by which pig iron is made, compare the output with plants in Pittsburg and other iron draw any deductions they may desire to embody in statements to customers. Those familiar with the local fur naces are of the opinion that the visit 0f the agents at this time will prove of vast benefit to the Birmingham dis trict. The agents will doubtless carry with them new ideas of E rmingham throughout the country. It is undef- stood that local officials of the company will see to it that the agents are well entertained while here.
