IRON PRICES MAY
 60 STILL LOWER

New York, December 4.--The confer ence of the steel interests at New York last week clearly demonstrated the vulnerable position of the indus try, and though there is concerted ef- fort to maintain prices of finished ma terial by further reducing production and eliminating competition, there is a strong feelings that lower prices must prevail for some products before there is recovery from the present depres- sion. Prices of pig iron and coke have ben cut to the quick and fabricated steel is about as low as could reasona- ply be expected, but it Is claimed there is room for readjustment of prices of plain material
 Railroads placed a few more con- tracts for rails but the Pennsylvania contracts for 150,000 tons in 1911 were given conditionally. During November orders were placed for "A locomotives iand 300 cars. It is hoped that rail con- tracts this month may aggregate 300,- 900 tons. Fabricated steel contracts last week aggregating 1900 tons were let, making the total for November 5O,- OOJ tons. Several new building con- tracts are coming up so that the De- cember tonnage probably will show a considerable increase.
 Pig iron business was dull, only about 25,000 tons being placed In all sections last week.
 November contracts aggregated 3OO,- 900 tons.

DOMINICAN PRIEST
 BREACHES SERMON

At high mass at St. Paul's church yes- terday, the Rev. Father Coen was the celebrant, the Rev. Father Coyle read the notices for the week, and the Rev. Father Kennedy, of the Dominicane order, and a member of the faculty of the Catholic university at Washington, preached the sermon. Father Kennedy had come to Birmingham to attend the funeral of his brother, J. J. Kennedy, who died Friday and was buried yesterday afternoon. The theme of the discourse was hope, and the preacher showed the danger and sin of esumption-presuming on Gods mercy and long suffering-on the one hand and despair on the other. It was regarded by the congregation as at once animating and edifying and as one of the most forceful sermons heard at St. Paul's dur ing the past year.
 The choir sang Peters wass, and for an offertory piece Mrs. Severin repeated fby request Saint Saens beautiful Ave Maria," which she sang the Sunday pre- ViOuS.

mate during the months from February to September, 1907, when she was com pelled to submit to a most vexatious and harassing litigation, the purpose of which was not only to establish her mental unsoundness, but to overturn the religious faith of which she was the acknowledged founder and 'revered head.
 For many weeks I conferred with Mrs. Eddy almost daily about the shift Ing phases of the attacks. She met the charge of mental infirmity with brilliant sanity and reasonableness. She met every other assault with dig nity, patriotism and sound common sense During those trying months she inspired me with the highest regard for her character and personality. Pro- fessional loyalty was, of course, to be expected, but her entire conduct and bearing during the most troubled months of her life inspired myself and others near her with the highest per- sonal loyalty and affection"

The author is undecided whether to propose that the general re- duction shall apply to any and every schedule of the existing law or to pick out 40 Or 90 of the most important sched- ules and apply the reduction. The sched- ules he would select, if the revision is not to be sweeping, would be those per- taining to clothing and food for the masses, such as wooleE4 and cotton goods. beef. lamb, etc. Steel and building ma terial would also come in for a touch.
 The idea of the author is that the peo- pie would understand this to be a genu- inc reduction and would laud and uphold democrats, whereas if the reduction is to be complicated and bewildering one, full of technicalities. 1t will take months to give clear idea whether there has been a downward revision.
