 Announcement is made that the lit- tie rolling mills in connection with the cotton tie plant at Helena, Ala, south the whole industry will shortly be go- ing.
 Other kindred industries are doing well.
 Coal and Coke-The coal production continues to improve as more men are given employment and orders for the product come in steadily. The rail- roads are keeping up with the demand for empty cars with which to handle the traffic, but it is already pushing them to do it. An intimation has been given that some sight of a car shortage has been hinted at. but noth- ing definite has developed as yet. There will be a demand for all the coal that can be mined. It is not believed that the production this year will be any. where near what 1t was last year. It is hardly expected that the output of the mines in this State will go above II .OO0, 900 tons.
 Coke is in great demand and every ton possibly is being manufactured. A fact is apparent, that the coke is being consumed just as rapidly as 1t is being produced. large number of ovens will be fired this week and preparations are being made for still others. The product Is bringing a good price, too.
