your enemy know what to expect. It is believed, however, that unless Central ap- pears much stronger than Alabama, the boys from Tuscaloosa will receive in- structions to win, If possible, without playing every card in their hands. Since the Georgia game the Alabamians have been coached with a great deal of care and patience, and they will be stronger than the bunch which barely kept Georgia from scoring.
 Manager Wood of Central writes to the sporting editor of The Age Herald to the effect that it has been decided to base the reputation of his team on great variety of speedy plays. Central has shown no great buck1ng propensity" says he, and 1t is realized that the bulk of the gains Saturday must be made through snappy work of the backs and ends. Miami last Saturday often penetrated the Kentucky line and broke up plays before they were well on their feet. Just how well the Central line holds up under the Alabama plunges will determine the policy of Gen. trals attack after the first few minutes of play. If Alabama is unable to con- sistently buck through the line for downs, Central should win by her splendid repertoire of attack. In order that the defensive of the Varsity might be strengthened against the Alabama game the scrub team has been allowed uninter- rupted possession of the ball during the practice work, and to the linemen Coach Johnston has devoted his attention"
 Both institutions have large following in Birmingham in the way of alumni, and this guarantees that the crowd will be worthy one.

PIG IRON MARKET
 IS STILL INACTIVE
LOCAL TRADE IS WAITING CONDl- TlON-CINClNNA BROKERS RE- PORT MORE ACTIVE INQUIRIES.
 OPTIMISTIC VIEWS EXPRESSED.

The Birmingham iron market is in waiting condition, sales this week be- ing few and in small lots.
 Rogers Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati re- port for the current week says;
 Our market this week presents all the characteristics of a rank "in-and- outer" There have been a few in- quiries for good sized tonnage and some fair business done. On the oth CT hand, reports have been received of distinctly opposite nature, and it ap- pears there continues to be very wide difference in the quoted prices of pig iron by various companies. More than ever is this due to the pres ent condition of furnace order books and the ability or inclination of fur naces to consider business as 1t comes up. Each day increases the evidences of curtailed output by furnaces, and those that are in best shape as to their orders will probably take early op- portunity of making needful repairs or alterations to plants.
 The iron trade of course, has felt indirectly the effect of recent finan- otal happenings in Pittsburg and th' east, and has reflected conditions
 cordingly, but there is nothing in u actual business in the iron trade to warrant it's being used as any part of the cause for the effects which we have witnessed in the last few days.
 From a number of our customers, leaders in various lines. careful in vestigation shows that while they may not be doing the amount of business they had expected and hoped to do at this time, the volume of their busi- ness is larger than the corresponding period last year, which means that it is the largest in their history. In many instances we find that the expansion of plants to increase production which

demonstrated beyond doubt that with Ala bama there was something out of gear. Central has played four games this sea- son, of which number the boys from the blue grass won three. Hanover of 1n- diana was beaten II to 0. Morris Harvey of West Virginia went down before Cen tral by the big score of 6S to O. The Ken tuckans triumphed over the Grant unl- versity of Chattanooga by a score of 22 to 0. Last Saturday, however, Miami unl- Yersity of Ohio took the measure of the Central lads 10 to 0. This game was played in Louisville, and was reported to have been a terrific affair, one in which every man tried to forclbly thrust himself through his opposing lineman. The season record of the two, therefore, considering the standing ot the aggregations which have been encountered by Alabama and Central, again indicatets that the two are about evenly balanced, although it would seem that in this respect, too, Alabama has a trlhlng advantage.
 The enthusiasts of Birmingham may ex- pect to see a good game, one in which there is a great variety of plays. It is indicated that there will be more muscle work in the game than in the recent 1f- fair of Auburn and Sewanee, and less of tossing the ball. Of course, the forward pass and many other tricks will figure, but it is most probable that the teams will try each others line, and each others ends more often than other teams have done in Birmingham this season. From Alabama headquarters nothing has been given out, Coach Pollard evidently oeliev- ing that there is little wisdom in letting

The indications are that the game this afternoon at the fair grounds between the football teams of the University of Ala bama and the Central University of Ken lucky will be an exceedingly hard-fought affair, terminated by a small score.
 To arrive at the relative or comparative strength of the two is a difficult proposi- ton, for the simple reason that Alabama has played no team which Central has played, and Central has played no team which has played any Alabama foeman.
 A study of the material of the two or ganizatlons, however brings to light the fact that they are about evenly matched as concerns weight, the odds, If with either, being with the University of Ala bama. Central's team is reported and be- lieved to be faster than the Alabama ag- gregation. It would look, therefore that in the way of material, the two teams are about evenly matched. As to whether one or the other has had the better train ing, or the more experience, is a matter of conjecture.
 To Alabamians. the showing of the uni versty to this date has been far from glowing. True, Alabama defeated Mary vile and the University of Mississippi by decisive scores, and managed to tie Geor- gia. But when Sewanee handled the wearers of the crimson-white like a bull dog would shake a terrier, the fact was

 Howard has played in exceedingly hard luck this season, and has won fewer games than its strength and ability other wise deserve. However, 1t Is confidently expected that this afternoon Howard will win from Mercer, and win with compara- tive ease.
 The above prediction is based on the games played by Mercer and Howard against the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Mississippi. While Howard was

hundred Birmingham football enthusiasts in Nashville today
 Of almost equal importance is the game today between Sewanee and Virginia. It is believed that Sewanee will win. If the lads in purple lose 1t will be because they fail to play tn game that they can play. The men from the Tennessee moun- tain are just as strong and formidable as the men on the Potomac. and a great scrap is expected.
 While these games are of greatest im- portance in the south today there are numerous others worthy of special men, ton. There is a great deal of interest in the Georgia-Tech affair In Atlanta.

sh ortage and impending cold weather will serve to make themselves felt. The last is an element which is just beginning and will cut a large figure for three or four months.
 Matthews, Addy & Co.'S report fol- lows:
 Decidedly more inquiry and compar- atively quite a little purchasing are the features of the week. The inquiry now looks as if it were the kind that really meant business. some tune back consumers were asking for prices for the first quarter of next year, but they were only feeling the market, Alp parently they had no actual intention of buying. At all events no orders worth mentioning were placed. NOW the inquiry is for small lots for No- vember and December and frequently the melters state that if they buy they must be assured of having the Iron shipped on contract time, as they VIII have to have 1t. good many ol these current inquiries are simply TOT car loads and then again they run up 10 5OU ana every HON oHA N-'~'' tons. They conclusively show the eau tiousness with which buyers are pro ceeding. In view of the complications in the money market this was to have been expected.
 Broadly speaking, there is hesitation in the iron and steel trade and gen eral sentiment that readjustment of values is in order. But there is no absolute pessimism. We have been travelling on a twentieth century linn ited for more than year and possioly it will do no harm to take slower train for the next trip, but there IS no earthly reason to anticipate that we shall be reduced to stealing a ride on a freight
 Regarding prices there is some ir- regularity but they are holding their own remarkably well.

beaten by the Mississippians by a score of 12 to 5, before the same bunch Mer- cer went down by an enormous score. one of the largest piled up by any college this season. Therefore the indications are that Howard should triumph over Mercer.
 Howard is weakened by the absence of Cruise, one of the heavy and aggressive linesmen. This players brother died sev- eral days ago. and this fact will prevent the player from participating again for several weeks. The boys were happy and light hearted as they boarded the trains and promised the students following thenr to the train to bring back their own scalp and Mercer's to boot

It Is the natural course of that particular line of con sumption and should be considered as such.
 Building operations, together with other lines of structural steel users, have curtailed operations considerably and as q result the market for this commodity has been quiet, although fair tonnage which has been pending recently has been closed. It is stated that one of the largest producers of structural steel will this month break all records for production.
 In other territories the outlook since the disturbance in financial circles of last week is distinctly of better char acter and a good tonnage has been placed.
