MEASURES OF INTEREST
TO JEFFERSON COUNTY
Bill to Create Two Additional Judges for City Court of Bir
mingham is Reported Favorably To Provide Official
stenographer for Jefferson County.

Montgomery. February 6-(special)-
The bill to create two additional judges
of the city court of Birmingham was
reported favorably in the House today.
providing that the selection of the two
judges be made by the legislature, and
that all of the judges of the court be paid
from the treasury of the state, instead
of the county, as now.
1t is understood here that the new
circuit Judge for which a bill has al
ready passed the house. will be A. o.
Lane, and that the two additional city
court judges are to be II. A. Sharpe and
NeSmith. The bill reported today takes
the place of that reported few days
ago in that it provides for the payment
of the salaries out of the state funds In
stead of the county.
The caption of the bill reported today is
as follows:
To further regulate the city court of
Birmingham, Alabama, and the practice
and procedure in said court; to provide
for judges thereof, their election, term
of office. removal. power and salary; for
the election, term of office, bond. removal

KEEN INTEREST IN
PIC IRON MARKET
No Reason for Decided Decline
in Prices
SOUTHERN DELIVERY SLOW
Assurance That Great Efforts Are Made
to Make Prompt Deliveries Causes
Easier Feeling, But Railroads
Ability Is Doubted.

Cleveland, o., February 6.-The Iron
Trade Review tomorrow will say:
Keen interest has been manifested in
the pig iron market during the past
week. The situation resembles that OF
the first week OF the new year when
there were well defined indications OF
easier conditions, but during the last
three weeks sof January the market was
active and strong and there is now no
reason for believing that there will be
any decided decline in quotations.
Following the publication about two
weeks ago of reports of weakness in the
American pig iron market, determined
bear assault was made on warrant iron
from England, and at least one large
American consumer was able to buy
round tonnage at about 1850, New Or
leans. The report of this transaction has
been noised about within few days and
has caused hesitancy on the part of some
buyers, but all indications are that it
would be extremely difficult to buy any
considerable tonnage of foreign iron AT
SO low a price. and 1t Is not probable that
the importation of iron will result in
demoralizing prices in this country to
any marked extent. The assurance that
the greatest possible effort will be made
to deliver iron from the south during tho
remainder of this month has caused an
easier feeling among some northern con-
sumers of the southern products, but
serious doubt is expressed as to whether
the railroads will be able to give much
better delivery than has recently been
made.
Taken as a whole, the pig iron market
is easier but with little, If any. evidence
OF weakness.
In finished lines great activity continues
and deliveries are still much delayed.
