VERY LITTLE IRON
 HAS ACCUMULATED
Stocks In the South Are Net
 Affecting Trade
IMPROVEMENT IS GRADUAL
Prices in the South Are Steady and no Trouble Is Experienced in Getting Immediate DeliV-
 cry for Sales.

Chattanooga. April 1S.-Reviewing the iron and steel markets of the south, the Tradesman says:
 Southern pig iron manufacturers are looking forward with considerable ex- pectancy. There is room for improve ment in the conditions and it is confident ly expected that this improvement will be realized before the second quarter of the year shall have proceeded very far. There is not very great amount of accumulat- ed iron in the south. In some sections there is a little more iron to be seen around the yards than is comfortable, but 1t is not cutting much figure in the gem eral market conditions The sales that are being made now are in small lots and bid fair to remain that way until a decid ed improvement is noted all around and the consumers are willing to return to the market satisfied that there is to be no further reduction in prices. The asser- ton is made that conditions in the south are decidedly more favorable than in other parts of the country. The make in this section is off decidedly. There has been one furnace blown in during the past fortnight, but another iron maker is to go out, so there will be no increase appreciably in the make. Shipments are about equal to the make. which precludes any accumulation in this sec ton.
 Pig iron prices in the south appear to remain steady between SIP and SIS per ton, No. foundry. Sales of iron at prices ranging from SIP to $13 can be heard of. No trouble is being experienced by tine consumers in getting immediate deliv- cry anywhere in the south.
 In the steel industry in the south there is very litle doing at present. The plants of the Southern Steel company, bankrupt, are still out of commission. The big plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Ensley, Ala, is undergoing the immense repairing and improving that was announced on several occasions here tofore. A regular army of men is being given employment in the establishment and it is expected that there will be resumption of operations in May. There are three open hearth furnaces going but the amount of steN being produced is rather limited.

The effects of the rulings are that the fees belong to the board of exam iners, to do with them as they please and tS divide as they please so long as all three are satisfied. Also that the members have the right to h old special examinations when doing other work of the board. It is also a fact that the law does not make it obligatory on the members to keep record of the days worked. The accounts are made out tc
