Washington, December 8.-(Special.)- President Parker feels well satisfied over the adjourned meeting of the southern commercial congress.
 we feel satisfied with what we have accomplished said President Parker. We now know just where we stand. There is a great deal Of work to be done in the way of organizing. but we have found the men who will give their time, money and brains to the work of the southern commercial congress, and that is half the battle. More can be accomp- lished with a few men who will really put their shoulders to the wheel than with many who will work half-heartedly. Suc- cess breeds success, and when the peo- pie of the south see us succeeding they will fall quickly into line"

HEAVY OUTPUT OF
 IRON FURNACES

Cleveland, O., December S.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow says:
 The iron trade approaches the end of the year with a continuance of record breaking production of furnaces and mills and heavy specifying against contracts which expire January l, but there is dis tinct Hull in pig iron buying with some soft spots developing, especially in the south. and the Ironton districts.
 The pig iron market has been char aoterized by dullness in all parts of the country, and in the south sales are be- ing made for prompt delivery at s14 for No. 2 Birmingham, and s14.50 for first half of next year. These quotations are made by some furnace interests as well as by brokers. Quotations on the iron of the Ironton district are also being shaded, but for the most part, the strength of the pig iron market in the north Is being well maintained.
