DECLINE OF OUTPUT
 CONTINUES IN IRON
Total Number of Furnaces Also
 Shows a Decrease
IS IMPROVED
Ore Shipments For August Show An Increase-Specificati For Fin isbed Material Are Growing
 In Volume

Cleveland, O., September 7.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Pig iron production for August shows a continuation of decline of output which has been taking place for several months. During the past month the output of coke and anthracite furnaces amounted to 2,102,372 tons, against 2,15S,124 tons in July, a loss of 55, 752 tons. The daily aver age production was 67,S1S tons as com pared with 9,617 tons in July. The total number of furnaces in operation on sep- tember 1 was PA, as against 254 August |.
 The recent heavy purchases of pig iron by implement and pipe interests have been followed by numerous widely scattered sales In comparatively small lots, which in the aggregate amount to considerable tonnage. Improved inquiry is also report ed from all the large consuming centers, and the outlook generally is more hope full. In the Chicago district the total sales of pig iron during the week in small lots for early delivery are estimated at 10000 tons.
 Ore shipments during August were G. 964, ,3S1 tons, increase of 19052 tons over the July movement. Up to Septem- Der 1 the mines have sent forward 2S,S29. 029 tons, a gain of 6,23S, 4S0 tons compared with the corresponding period last year. After September l last year the fleet moved 19095,5S1 tons The Pittsburg Steamship company has notified owners that 1t will be through with it's chartered vessels about the 18th, and that it con templates retiring its own vessels No vember 15. It is predicted that not more
 than 15. 100000 tons will be moved during the balance of the season, which would make the total movement for the year about 44O00,000 tons.
 | Specifications for finished materials are increasing in volume and shipments o1 bars, plates and light structural shapes suspended several months ago have beer ordered resumed by many concerns. The new tonnage placed thus far this month | with several of the larger producing in | terests is in excess of any similar period during tho last quarter.

HOOKWORM is SUBJECT
OF GEORGIA PAMPHLET

A pamphlet on the hook worm dis
ease, circular No. IL. has just been print
ed by the state board of health and is
being circulated through the mails to all
physicians and local health boards in
Georgia. Anyone interested in the study
of this disease can secure a copy of the
pamphlet on application to the state
board of health, Atlanta.
This pamphlet says that hook worm
is common wherever the negro has been.
The parasite is of African origin, and
was brought over in slavery times. The
negro, through long years. has acquired
an immunity toward the effects Of the
hook worm, but has never shaken the
parasite Off Ground itch is directly con-

that the worm has entered the System

COTTON SHIPMENTS MAY
BE GREATLY CURTAILED

WASHINGTON. Aug. SO.-with the
prospect that American cotton shipments
TO England may be curtailed seriously
this year because of the hitch with Eng
land hanks over guarantees of American
bills of lading, committee OF New York
bankers will go to London for confer
ences with the English financiers.
The British banks have issued an ulti-
matum that after November l they will
not receive cotton bills OF lading from
this country unless they are guaranteed
by American banks. This step was in
duced by the recent alleged frauds which
resulted in the failure of Knight, Yancey
& Co., of Decatur, Ala, which was fol-
lowed by heavy losses in Liverpool. The
American national banks under the law
cannot guarantee cotton bills of lading,
and there is great apprehension that I'M
less the English banks recede from their
position the annual movement to Eng
land will be crippled.
