The Iron Trade


 Matthew Addy & Co.'s Cincinnati re- port, just received, says:
 How soon the restriction of output will mend the disastrously low prices of pig iron Is the great question of the pres ent. So many furnaces are going out that the thermometer of production is dropping rapidly. In the south in Jan uary there will be a decided reduction in make, as several more furnaces are booked to go out This week the big Trussville stack of the Southern Iron and Steel company stopped operations.
 Every one of the large Birmingham companies is doing, or preparing to do. its share to put the statistics on the right side. But there is one vital fact to be borne in mind, and that is, the concerns using the iron, who mould it into shapes for the ultimate consumer, are not over supplied. All of our trav- elers bear testimony to the fact that consumers have, as a rule, no stocks on hand. Here and there will be a foundry yard with fair supply on hand, but generally speaking melters of iron are running from hand to mouth. All of the iron reserve supply of the country has been transferred to furnace yards and the burden of carrying it is on the shoul- ders of the makers of iron, whereas usual ly this iron is stored in thousand foun- dries So things are all turned about in the trade, and, as matter of fact, the stock on hand Is not enough to keep the country going a month. But it is mere question of regulating the sup ply to the demand, and the drastic meas ures to arrange this will in the very near future be successful

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Interest in National Politics

Game is plentiful in Virginia this sea- son. but I heard more about politics than anything ese," said Richard o. Nor rls, of the Southern Bell Telephone, who recently returned from his vacation spent mostly in the Old Dominion. "As two United States senators are to be elected by the next Virginia legislature, the pri- maries promise to be very lively. Tom Martin and Claude Swanson are the in cumbents
 But I found more interest in national politics than in any local questions. The democrats seem confident of winning in 1912. I was in Washington and met sev- eral friends who have been long known for their political sagacity They say the democrats are more united than at any time since 1892 The republicans have never been so divided as now and as Colonel Roosevelt is a hard fighter, there seems to be no possibility of the g. o. p. getting together prior to 1912.
 "At Washington one hears a great deal of talk of both Harmon and Woodrow Wilson. Both of these leaders are strong but Wilson seems to be uncommonly pop ular as presidential timber. If he makes some big hit as governor of New Jersey, he will probably be the national standard bearer year after next. When Woodrow Wilson was first nominated for governor nearly every republican thought he would merely be an academic candidate and would not have to be reckoned with. But he turned out to be a splendid cam paigner-a rough and ready debater and all the time a sane and pratical man."

CIVIC ASSOCIATION Of
PASADENA THANKS BUSCH
Sentiment Is Against ConsoIida-
ton with Los Angeles Only
as a Last Resort

PASADENA, June 1.-THE newly
formed Pasadena Civic association is
creating considerable of a stir in this
city and speculation is rife as to what
will be the outcome of the new organi-
zation. The publication of the platform
Thursday came as a surprise to all save
the promoters, who will make no state
ment as to the number of members
affiliated with the organization. Scores
of expressions were voiced yesterday
among business men, and the general
sentiment seems to be against annexa-
tion with Los Angeles to acquire Owens
river water and power, as suggested III
the Civic association platform, unless it
is absolutely necessary as a last resort.
Some claim to see in the new organ
iZation an opponent to the board of
trade, but several Of the directors of
that organization declare that they will
join the new body with the idea that
it can take up many civic questions
which cannot be handled by the board
of trade.
The new civic body expects to take
part in all public questions, including
bond issues and like matters, in fact, to
work along the lines of the Municipal
league of Los Angeles.
The first official act Of the Pasadena
Civic association since the adoption of
its platform Monday is the passing of
resolutions of appreciation to Adolphus
Busch "for creating and beautifying his
now famous gardens and opening to the
public his private grounds that all may
enjoy with him the restful quiet and
scenic views of the park upon which he
has so laVishly expended his time and
means"
