ONE MORE DAY FOR
The CANDIDATES
Ward and O'Brien Both Sure
of Victory
EVERYONE TALKS POLITICS
Wards Managers Held Conference
Last Night and Came From Room
smillng-o'5rien Says He
is an Easy Winner.

But one more business day for the CAM
paigner, but forty-eight hours before one
of the most interesting municipal fights
in the history of the city is ended!
ostensibly. at least, both of the mayor
atty candidates are optimistic. Mayor
Ward stated yesterday afternoon that
from the foredeck he saw nothing that
meant damage to his ship. The Mayor
expects to carry the city by nearly a
thousand votes. On the other hand, there
was never candidate more pleased than
Captain O'Brien. He stated last night
that he would defeat Mr.. Ward over
whemngly.
To the outsider, however, it begins to
be apparent that the race will be exceed
ingly close and that the winner will nose
the beaten man out at the tape.
On this the last day, all the city is
given over to politics. Every candidate
is bent to the task of getting votes and
making schemes for the discomfort of
his adversary. Throughout the wards the
election spirit has obtained a strong
hold. and nothing other than the primary,
voting and probabilities is considered,
A few of Mayor Wards advisors gather
ed in the First National bank building
last night, and judging from the pleased
expressions as they came down the Gle
vator the reports heard were most en-
couraging aud fiattering. 1t was rumored
Yesterday that there would be a speaking
at the Jefferson theatre tonight in the
interest of Captain o'Brien, but this was
dfsputed by the candidate last night.
This has been q campaign in which no
orator has figured.

SAYS UNIVERSITY

Ferguson Back From Capital, Pleased
With the Attitude of the
Legislators.

W. Hill Ferguson. who is active in the
Alumni association of the University Of
Alabama, returned yesterday from Mont
gomery, where he has been in the interest
of the legislation looking to increasing
the appropriation for the university. This
is his second or third trip to Montgom-
cry, he having appeared before the va
rious committees In regard to the matter.
In speaking of his trip yesterday, he
said:
1.-The matter of the appropriation of the
university has been through the commit
tees, and was made the special order for
tomorrow, but fear that 1t will not come
up at that time on account of the num-
erous other matters that are up for con-
sideration.
II do not believe that the bill will be
acted on before Tuesday afternoon, at
which time believe the house will take it
up and pass it. The conditions seem faY-
orable.
Several of us who are Interested in the
bill appeared before the committee to
which the matter was referred

DEMAND FOR IRON

WILL KEEP UP--ALL FOUNDRY
METAL RUNNING SHORT.

The Birmingham iron market continues
very strong and the indications point
to firm and active trade throughout
the year While there is less inquiry for
spot metal the market for last half
delivery is brisk at $40 on a No. . basis
The Tennessee company is still quoting
$3.50 but the Sloss-S Sheffield and other
concerns are making no contracts, it
is said under $40.
One Of the largest northern consumers
of foundry iron who recently visited the
district gives II as his opinion that the
demand for finished product aud business
conditions in general. warrant good
prices. He does not look for a decline
in the near future.
Rogers, Brown & Co. $ Cincinnati re-
port for the current week says;
Demand for last half business continues
In good volume. Inquiry for early ship
ment has been subsidized somewhat. due
undoubtedly to inability of sellers or
buyers to find any iron available for
early movement. Prices in all districts
are steady. Special grades are In par
ticular demand for all deliveries, the
higher Silicon silvery irons particularly,
and anything offering for nearby ship
ment, finds ready sale. A condition which
mas Dcen predicted Is certainly upon
the pig iron trade and those who are
not covered for their entire requirements
during the first half are now aware
that 1t Is going to be exceedingly difficult
to do so. On account Of the unseason-
able weather which has been holding the
east and the west alike IN its grip. produc-
ton has not improved and movement Of
all traffic IL badly impeded.
The delay In advance of freight rates
from the south until March 3 has been
a source of much satisfaction to the
manufacturers as they felt that had this
advance been made at time scheduled
it would have placed them in very
unfortunate position for which they were
not in any way to blame.
AS has been commented on before, the
Bessemer business for the balance of the
year is In excellent shape and it is cur
rently reported that the Bessemer ASSOC
citation which comprises the greater num-
Der of valley furnaces, making this class
of iron, have contracted for so per cent

week follows:
At no time since the strenuous times
in pig iron began has the real situation
been worse than it Is today. Foundry
iron is in such short supply that any
large quantity is unobtalnable, and
scores of consumers are In constant dis
tress because they have not enough iron
to run regularly
Recently there have been many rumors
Of weak spots In the market. But actual
conditions are more stringent than ever,
and the prices that are being paid for
spot and forward iron are top quotations.
As far as we can make out. these ru7
mors have no real basis in truth. The
only thing that has happened Is that
three weeks ago there was a tremendous
buying movement. while today the vol
ume of purchasing is not SO large. But
this liz natural. Such buying movement
as we had then would have cleaned
the country out of iron in month. And
today there is a fine business right along.

been refused simply because the iron

In connection with this matter, two

second Is that Judge E'eagin will not hold
