markets and reports of moderate im- provement come from nearly all parts of the country except the Pacific coast, where weather conditions have been ex- tremely unfavorable. Export business continues good and prices are advancing
 In the Pittsburg and Cleveland dis tricts interest has centered on the inquiry of the Westinghouse inquiry for 15,OOO tons of pig iron. The purchase has not been made. but it is understood that some low prices have been named, and that the business will not net the furnaces much above $16 at their plants. which is con- sdered very near cost. when using new ore at the advanced prices. At St. Louis lbG00 tons of basic has been purchased and at Pittsburg several round lots of 200 and 3oG0 tons of the same grade have been contracted, and an inquiry for 10,0o0 tons is pending.
 In eastern territory the cast iron pipe interests have been the principal factors, the leading interest being in the market for 1S0G0 tons after having purchased 4000 tons within a few days.
 There are numerous indications of n- creased railroad buying and some good orders have already been placed. Rail sales of the week amounted to about 20 GOO tons to northern and southwestern lines; structural contracts have been numer- ons. including 2600 tons for the Atlantic Soast Line. 21o0 tons for the Great North ern and 25.000 tons for the Chicago, Hamil- toi and Dayton.
 Tentative car business in sight is esti- mated by steel authorities as about 400OO cars, of which probably 20,000 are in def- nite state and likely to be soon placed. The largest of these are the Hartman lines 5500. and the Southern rail- way, 62Oo. including 26oO to be built in it's own shops The Southern will probably buy this week.

 Notes of Ensley
NEW MONSTER IS SEEN
BY C. II. MANDY.

The entries for the "City Beautiful contest will close today and all who de- sire to participate must file their appli- cation with the commissioners before 6 o'clock this evening. There are already 9l entries and many more will probably enter today.
 As will be remembered the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company offered three prizes of $10O SoO and s25 for the best kept residence lawn and garden in Ensley. This was augmented by 10 prizes of s10 each offered by Messrs. Ramsay and Mccormack, and 10 prizes of $10 each by the Ensley Land company. J. M. Perkins, P. J. Rogers and M. H. Me- Dowell were selected as commissioners to award the prizes. The conditions are such that the humblest cottage stands an equal chance with the most palatial mansion, as the awards will be made on points. When the contest is closed the com missioners will visit the homes of the contestants, and will visit them from time to time until the contest closes, which will be on August l. The homes re- ceiving the greatest number of points will be awarded the prizes.
 Among those who have entered are oc- cupants of some of the most handsome residences in the district, as well as many cottages, and vigorous effort will be made to win the prizes.
 As Ensley numbers so many pretty homes the commissioners have no easy task in making the awards.

consternation in Ensley.

About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the business district of Ensley was thrown into d state of consternation by the ap- pearance of a monster that was more dreadful than the fiery dragoon of ancient history, or the Beezebub of sacred lore. At its appearance ladies, who, taking advantage of the beautiful weather, had donned their spring attire and in their beauty and freshness, wandered down town to view the latest creations for approaching Easter, fled back to their homes in terror. Merchants, who had placed their newest goods on display, that the ladies aforesaid might be at tracted by them, closed and barricaded their doors to keep the dreaded monster out.
 Strong men, whose bravery is without question, quailed before the presence of the apparition and took to their heels and fled Little children screamed in terror and ran for dear life to the child's surest refuge. their mothers arms. Even the big, burly policemen, whose fidelity to duty has never been questioned, sudden ly disappeared
 Horses were panic-stricken, the dogs howled and fled, in fact every living thing, human or otherwise, disappeared at the approach of the monster, leaving it s'monarch of all he surveyed" The ap- proach of the apparition was hcralded by the changing of chains and the rumbling of wheels and fonowing in it's wake were clouds upon clouds of germ laden dust, filling the air and changing the joy and freshness of spring into gloom and de- spair.
 After parading up and down Avenue F and Nineteenth street, leaving death and destruction in it's tracks it finally stopped and when the dust-laden air cleared away a nigger, a pair of mules and circular sweeper were discovered.
 The merchants finally opened their doors and those who had hid them selves reappeared and the cause of all the confusion was thoroughly discussed The kindness of the city authorities of Greater Birmingham in selecting the bus lest part of the day to sweep the streets is much appreciated by the citizens ana business men of Ensley.
