Population Estimates.

ut used to be that the estimated pop
ulation of growing cities was greatly ex-
aggerated," said L. D. Nicholson of st.
Louis, but generally speaking the
mayors or whoever furnished the World
Almanac with the estimated figures last
year seem to have been within bounds.
The census of 1880 and the census of
1900 were both disappointing to the cities
that had made ridiculous claims. The
population figures are now reasonable
at least.
"St Louis will not fall much short of
700, 900. Chicago which claims 2,575,o00 will
probably have 100000 Memphis is claim
ing nearly 100000 and I believe 1t will
come into the census with fully 175.oo0.
Nashville will be found to have not less
than $4,000 and that is about all that
is claimed for 1t. l am told that Biz
mingham is claiming $4,000. Not be-
ing familiar with the population of the
outlying towns just annexed I am not
prepared to make an estimate, but from
the appearance of Birmingham and judg-
ing from the crowds on the streets.
would say this city had any where from
125.00O to 10000.
Just before the last census Atlanta
claimed 10000 but 1t turned out to have
by actual count between $1,000 and 10000
Atlanta now claims $4,000 and it probably
has 10000. 1t is a fine city and il noted
for it's public spirit and its pluck. Peo-
pie may smile at its excessive boasting
habit but as a general proposition it al
ways makes good and l gladly take
off my hat to it.
Travelling through the south once a
year as ] do I can say that with scarce
ly a single exception southern cities have
made wonderful progress within the past
10 years"

The Iron Market.

With the new year comes more active
inquiry for pig iron. Sales of fairly good
tonnage are being made and it is be-
lieved that by the middle of the month
a very brisk buying movement will
have set in.
The price schedule is now based on sl4
for No 2, but in view of large melt
and increasing prosperity furnace inter-
ests are expecting a higher level OF
prices.

Birmingham is good show town."

pretty we'll from theatrical point Of
view for some years past, but 1t has
improved very materially during the pres

percentage of amusement going people.
Birmingham has large transient pop
ulation in addition to its permanent pop
ulation and that fact always counts for
much in the matter Of show patronage.
