ever offered.

The Iron Market

One of the most encouraging fea-
lures of the Birmingham iron market
is that, Notwithstanding the gradual
resumption of idle furnaces, stocks on
the yards are decreasing instead of in
creasing. The trade is comparatively
quiet, but there has. been enough buy
ing to keep iron moving. Stocks have
not been as light for some time as they
are today. Furnace companies have
pursued business-like policy in hold
ing production down to actual demand.
In this way quotations are maintained
at figures that yield a reasonable profit.
Had pig metal been piled prices would
have dropped far below the present
schedule.
A large buying movement may not
materialize this spring, but inquiries
to a steady and conservative trade.
More than 60 per cent of the Alabama
furnaces are now in operation and the
number will show an increase in April.

Public Debt of Japan

The present debt of Japan is 2,217,-
722,753 yen, or about half that many
dollars. 1t exceeds our interest-bear-
ing debt, and Japan does not contain
over 50,0O0,000 of people. The great
debt is due to war and the preparations
for war. The war with Russia doubled
the debt of Japan, and for many years
to come the Land of the Rising Sun
will be debt-burdened beyond any other
country. Fortunately for the country
about one-half of the debt is carried by
the Japanese themselves. Japan has
some per cents outstanding, but the
greater part of the debt bears but
per cent interest.
Japan has attempted to nationalize
her railroads at an expense of $400,-

What Dollar Corn Means

Western corn in carload lots costs
at the railroad station in Alabama
about SO cents, and the small farmer
who buys it today to feed to his stock
probably pays the home merchant 81
a bushel No farmer inAthis state can
prosper who pays 81 bushel for corn.
The cotton grower who is putting in
seed for the years crop should not ex-
pect to get a price for his fieecy prod
uct that will enable him to buy sup
ply of corn at 81 a bushel. An immense
crop of corn was produced in the west
last year. and yet corn costs the small
farmer today 81 a bushel. 1t will prob
ably be worth as much year from
today.
Not even the big planter can afford
to buy corn in the west, paying freight
on it and various commissions. What
the big planter cannot afford to do
would be to the small farmer almost
disastrous.
No one is authorized to say that cot
ton will in year of lessened demand
for goods bring a great price. 1t prob
ably will not command more than 10
cents, and farmer who puts all his
land in cotton, neglecting to produce
the corn he needs is making mistake,
serious mistake.
After enough corn for farm consump-
ton has been provided for, then no
man need limit his production of cot
ton-the more the better. But the
growing of cotton without food produc-
ton is hazardous, unwise and probably
debt-creating before another crop can
be made 1t is unpatriotic, for any
thing that puts farmer in debt to the
merchant hurts the state and the gen.
eral condition of the south.
