 Sales of pig iron during the past week have not been large, but the tone of the market shows considerable improvement.

 In finished lines deliveries are improV- ing and conditions at the mills are easier.
 Although August made new record in shipments of ore from the Lake su- perior ranges, notice has been served on consumer of Bessemer ores that they may expect a shortage for the season of possibly 9o per cent. Recent ship ments have been, to large extent from stock piles, which are now practically exhausted, and the wet weather prevail ing on the ranges and the difficulty or obtaining enough laborers are reducing the tonnage mined to such an extent that 1t seems very probable that the rate of shipment hoped for earlier in the season can be maintained
 There are indications that some of the leading southern producers are acting in harmony in an effort to maintain the price on basis of SIS. oo Birmingham for the remainder of the year. although sales are being made at SIS. Inquiries in the New York district are more numerous and sellers are figuring on some 2o,0W tons.

 Meek does not star as a base stealer. nor run getter. He Is simply a natural hitter with ability to sting them all. It is probable that he has brought home with his hits as many as half the total scores made by the Barons this season. This sounds rather large" but it Is very probably accurate.

Did you hear dull. sickening thud? The fans have their ears to the ground and the Memphii their noses to the grind stone: Large chunks of anatomy are peel ing off.
 Looking at the situation squarely in the face causes blur to come over the optics of the Bluff City fanatic.
 As expected, the Hustlers were beaten. They were travel-worn and sleepy. but they put up a hard fight for the game.
 Atlanta fans are exuberant. but not all together surprised. They have claimed to have the best team in the league all along. Their wonder was how Memphis managed to stay in front so long.
 It is absolutely up to the Hustlers to take the last two games of the Atlanta series if they hope to cop the prize. The boys will be given royal sendoff in their exhibition game at Red Elm next Sunday if they stick a pin in Atlanta $ balloon
