CONSUMERS CLAMORING

The Birmingham iron market remains
firm and active. If there was any hesi-
fancy en- the part of buyers growing out
of the Wall street furry, it is not mani
fest now. Inquiries indicate an eagerness
that recalls the buying movement of last
fall.
An improvement in the car situation in
the Birmingham district is reported.
| Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re-
port for tbs current week says
1t is becoming more evident that the
largest consumers have Undersigned
their requirements for the second quarter
and are accordingly going to feel very
seriously the lack of available iron for
any delivery prior to July l. Recent
heavy sales to large consumers for the
second and third quarters have reduced
| available tonnage for these deliveries and
as there seems no let up in the pressure
OF buyers for iron past due and for addl-
tional tonnage for early shipment, the
outlook for the next six months is not
an alluring one to the average buyer.
Production during February showed
slight daily increase but number of fur
naceS have since blown out for one red-
son or another, and this increased produce
| ton has been more than offset in the last
month by idle plants. Among consumers,
| conditions are as active as ever and with
| business now on hand, there is no reason
| why the average manufacturing concern
| should not continue at top speed during
| the balance of this year. This Is of course
! provided that supply Of raw material Is
| adequate. Furnaces continue to with
| draw from the market for varied periods
ahead on account Of well filled order
books and all propositions on the part of
buyers for large tonnage to break exist
| ing market figures have been positively
| refused.
/ Pittsburg and the Ohio river valley have
suffered this week, ere of the most dis
asterous periods of high water in their
history and In Pttsourg particularly. this
has interfered with current manufactur-
ing and has resulted in tremendous less
| to the metal trade on account CT shut
downs and actual damage.
In addition to the tie-up of railroads
| at points like Cincinnati and Louisville,
| it increases trouble the railroads have
| had for months in handling shipments
| from the south. 1t is sincerely hoped
that we have seen the last of adverse
weather conditions for the winter as
things could hardly be worse than they
are at the present time 1t is stated that
these flood conditions will result in the
| loss in pig iron output of over 100000 tons
| in the Plttsburg district alone and means
that the demand for spot iron will be
more acute than at any time this year.
Coke is somewhat easier, due mainly
| to the banking of furnaces and not to in
creased coke output The latter seems
almost an impossible accomplishment on

A Mystery at Idlewilde.

Last week bottle containing the
card of well known Spokane destist

Suspicion was at once engendered
that an accident or case of felo de Sc
had occurred, and searching parties 10
boats, secured the lake and adjacent
shores for hours without result. Ex
citement still reigns and opinions are
divided as to whether the doctor is
now ministering to The mermaids or

In prices which has been 10 progress
for some time continued during the

Ing the lowest quotations in Yeas.
The successive waves of liquidation

swept away the profits of years and
have made the stock market extremes

tributing causes of the situation have
been aud are the fears of further
restrictive campaign against corpor-
ations bv the next congress and the
legislatures of various states, tigher
rates for money and apparent indiffer-

the part of interests with large capt.

ON THE LUMBER QUESTION
Secretary Wilson Points Out Way
to Avert a Famine.


Years Of waste, careless methods
and short sighted policy, In order to
gain immediate profits have brought
the Upited States to the eve of a
lumber famine, was the recent de.
claratlon by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. Although the federal gov
ernmentiis doing all Ia its power to
ward OFT the peril, having set aside
lbo, o,o0eso0e acres Of forest reserve
lands, the prospective famine, accord
ing to Secretary Wilson, can he pre-
vented only by the individual holders
of forest lands or by state laws.
''The waste has been incalculable, !"
said Secretary Wilson, "and the in.
creased cost of lumber at present her.
aids an impending famine. The loss
by forest fires alone amounts to hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars every
year."
In reply to a question as to the
probability OF the federal government
taking some action for perpetuatlng
the forests by replanting, Secretary
Wilson said:
1T will have to come to that in
time. The greater part of the eastern
and middle west country now looks to
the Pacific coast for its lumber and
II the coast states wish to maintain
this profitable industry IN the future
they will have TO pass ahd enforce
suitable laws governing it,
