The aggregate of business booked for the first quarter of next year is growing nicely and gives eneoura ge- ment. There are free predictions of a runaway iron market being seen in the next few weeks, which means that any price will obtain. This is a re- markable statement in the face of the dire apprehension that was expressed a few weeks back that foreign irons under the new tariff rates could be brought over to compete with the domestic irons. and especially with the Southern product. Iron being manu- factured in the South is being shipped out in all directions. a few export orders being announced recently. The export business though not an lexten- sive amount was handled through the port of New Orleans. the product go- ing to Costa Rico.
 There is no abatement to a healthy home consumption of pig iron in the Southern territory. The cast iron and soil pipe plants are all working to their fullest capacities. the bridge works. foundries and machine shops and kindred industries getting in an increased amount of business right along. The general improvement in conditions in the iron and steel trades Is being felt on all sides.
 The operations at the big steel plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company know no abatement either and the output is being i'm proved slowly and steadily. As has been stated before the Tennessee Company has orders for rails on hand that will warrant the steady operation of %le plant for many months to come. Southern railroads appear to be anxious now to get rail, orders for which have been placed now for sev- eral weeks.
 The foundrymen and machine shops proprietors assert that orders are be- ing received and inquiries coming in

Since that time it has been printed in many forms, and in countless ways it has become fla miliar and dear to the hearts of the American people; but never until now has 1t been published as a separate volume with adequate illustration.

While the Introduction to the First Series ceived word from the printer that there was blank page left which must be filed I sat down at once and i'm provised another fictitious notice of the press, in which. because verse would fill up space more cheaply than prose.

 Extend Well Into Mo-

WAGONS HANDLE THE STAPLE

The Square. for more than thirty years. the wagon cotton market of Montgomery, the meeting place of all local warehousemen and planters, pre- sented during the past week it's usual picturesque characteristic of this sea- son Of the year.
 Wagon after wagon loaded With bales of the fleecy staple, not only from Montgomery county but also from d radius of many miles around, filled all the available space In the Square With the arrival of each wagon the representatives of various warehouses put in their bids for the storing of the staple. Frequently there Is much dickering. oftimes a wrahgle before the cotton is released. Each day during the past week sev- eral hundred bales were brought to the Square. The bidding at times be- tween the warehohsemen became in- tense and heated. the planter or earni- CT holding out for the highest bid on his staple Then too, the bidding Is going on In many places. With the disposal of one wagon load. another wagon arrives and the bidding stunt Is repeated. Hence the busy scene. day after day. during the entire cot ton picking season of the year.
 The busiest day experienced at the Square the past week was Friday 1t iS estimated that the wagon cotton re- ceipts Friday amounted to about GOO bales. Saturday the shipments to the Square were heavy and it was filled with wagons during the entire day.
 The cotton picking is well under way new. The crop was late and, con- sequentiy, the wagon receipts are late. The heaviest cotton movement will come this month, provided the weather is favorable with late frost in ad- eition, it has been predicted that the picking vii continue until we'll into November.
