He figured that his impedimenta, re-

the start, would steadily lessen as he

place for the next meeting. The Sc

prise for 1t was considered that Mo-
bile would have the next meeting with
but little opposition.
The bidders for the next convention
were Birmingham. Mobile and Flor
snce. Past Grand Master A. D. Bloch.
OF Mobile. in an eloquent and able
speech presented the claims Of Mobile
for the 1910 meeting. His speech was
heard with respectful attention by the
Grand Lodge and the only thing which
kept the next meeting from going to
Mobile was the expense.
The committee which had the mat
ter Of selecting the next place for the
meeting figured that to hold it in Mo-
bile would cost the Grand Lodge an
enormous amount of money and that
It would cost much more for the meet
Ing to be held there than at some
place near the center of the State.
They reported that while they wished
to select Mobile for the next meeting
place thay thought that 1t was best
TO recommend that 1t should be held
in Birmingham ana the report of the
committee was adopted.
The question of selecting perma-
nent place for the meetings Of the
Grand Lodge came up Turing the ses-
sion this morning. Representatives of
the Birmingham lodges put forth that
city as the place for the meetings of
the body and the question was finally
put TO a vote and II was overwheim-
ingly voted against by the delegates.
No permanent meeting place will prob
ably be selected by this session of the
Grand Lodge.

New Record for Steel Common.
In the industrial department the most
expressive exhibit is made by Steel COM
mon, which stock reaches new high rec
ords. The fact that the Gary plan is in
operation and able to manufacture steel
products $5 ton cheaper than any Other
plant in the world, and the further fact
that tens Of millions expended in the ere
alton OF that plant represent no new m
debtedness, but have been supplied by
earnings which would otherwise have been
available for dividend distribution on
Steel common, calls attention to the re-
markable future of this stock. Plants
existing before the Gary plant was built
and before the Duluth and Pittsburg eX-
tensions were built were amply able 10
take care of fixed charges and preferred
dividends. 1t follows then that all fur
ther profits arising from the operation OF
the Gary plant and the improved Duluth
and PittSburg plants must become the
revenue of the common stock. Far
sighted capitalists, appreciating this Sit
uation, are buying Steel common.
For the time being tariff uncertainties
and public speculative apathy may keep
Wall street guessing. There may be
slumps more less violent, Wlen the
oracles of the street preach pessimism,
but beyond doubt there are good times
ahead, and the Speculator who stays close
to the shore and keeps his long stocks
safely margined is playing the right end
of the game.
