The Iron Market.
Extremely heavy purchasing has
marked the week." say Mathew Addy e.
Co.'S iron market report. This buying has
been widely distributed. AS matter
of fact the general foundries have been
doing most of the buying and not the
great wholesale consumers. The meters
of moderate quantities OF iron have been
buying for their requirements over the
second and third quarters of the year
and In come cases even for the last half
EARLY shipment iron has not been
much In demand. The greatest peculiar
ity. in fact. of the market since Its re-
covery eight months. ago has been the
absence of any demand at any time for
spot delivery. Consumers right along
have been and are still doing their best
to purchase for shipment just as far
ahead as sellers are willing to grant
This is in reality a good sign. 1t indl-
Gates growing and progressive conf
dence In the future and not only sem
timental confidence but In most GASES an
actual knowledge OF business needs as
the meters of iron are buying to cover
the orders for finished goods which they
have In hand. There is no question
at all but consumption IL steadily grow
| ing. The betterment began with tho steel
end of the situation. Then came the
greater demand for iron goods pure and
simpe-stoves. machine tools. argIcul-
tural impleemnts, engines. etc. Many
foundries In Ohio are full OF work for
eight months ahead. Tho most notice.
ably active concerns, even In these &C.
tive times are the malleable iron shops,
They are full to overlooking and some
of them have been declining work ever
since the first of the year
Prices are firm and there is not the

Birmingham az a Horse Market.
1.-THE horse market in Birmingham has
developed to such an extent that buy
ers come here from Memphis and At
lanta to buy stock" said a man who
attended large sale yesterday.
1T will be interesting to know that the
sale of stock last year by this firm
amounted to over 1900 head. There is q
steady demand here for the mine mules
and for delivery wagon stock. Many buy
ers come here from the farming sections
of Alabama to buy mules and horses.
The prices of mules hold up to high
notch but there is some slight easing
off on driving horses OF the middle class.
OF course, always there will be a de-
mand for exceptionally fine carriage
horses and fancy saddle horses but the
| u
affected the local market of this class
of stock. The reports from the country
at large. however, are that horses are
holding we'll up with other farms pro-
ducts in prices"
First Blood In Sheriffs Race.
1T happened to see the first real blood
drawn in the race for sheriff of Jefferson
county" said a man whose business
keeps him on the streets a great deal.
''It happened on Third avenue this aft
ernoon and L arrived just in time to see
a man picking himself up slowly from
the pavement and wiping the blood from
his face.
Another man was standing near ex-
aiming his fist, which appeared to be red
and swollen and while both were stran-
gers to me, soon learned from the
conversation going on among the mer
that the man who drew the blood was q
candidate for sheriff. All I heard hin
say was that he did not propose to bf
insulted. even though he was candi
date for sheriff. All could learn abou
the matter was that the victim hat
charged the candidate with helping
'scabs during the miners strike. The
candidate said that was something HI
would not stand.
"The AFFAIR was evidently done In Q
very quiet and orderly manner. becaus.
the last saw Of them the victim hai
gone down the street in one direction
and the candidate in the other"
