GOOD GAINS SHOWN
Increase in Coal Tonnage Is Especi- ally Notable-Heavy Sales of Coal and Coke Made

The annual report of the Alabama Con- soidated Coal and Iron company, whose principal operations are confined to the Birmingham mineral district, has been made public through official channels. And although market conditions for pig
 iron were exceedingly de pressed during the greater part of the fiscal year no. earnings of that corporation for oper- ations were s254. % as compared to s72,- le7.17 for the year preceding. The report
 is an elaborate document, having been compiled by Price, Warehouse x Co.,, chartered accountants oe 54 Williams street, New York.
 The officials of the Alabama Consoli- dated realizing that iron would perhaps remain dull, for the first time marketed it's well known and actively sought coa, which shows an unprecedented increase in that commodity for commercial purposes The tonnage of coal produced was 692,29l, as compared to 624,0S5 the year preceding. The coke sales were also increased, show ing that in 1910 2S3, 407 tons were sold as compared to PSI. 2S6 the year preceding. The company usually uses it's own coal and coke but the greater part of the 1910 tonnage was sold. Although iron was dull the sales amount to s1,747,47o2S in 1910, as compared to sl,ess,624.s5 the year preced- ing
 The officials of the company are natur. ally very much gratified over the showing made and the report of President J. H. Hoadley ends with an optimistic utter +l, q His short report to the directors Is of the same optimistic nature.

HOadley's Address

The address of MT. Hoadey, president, follows:
 "To the Stockholders of the Alabama Con
 solidated Coal and Iron company:
 'At the beginning of your company's eleventh fiscal year the pig iron market gave promise of being a fairly prosper ous one. The promise, however, was short lived. The market gradually declined from an average of s14. 50 for No. ? foundry, Birmingham, in November, 1909, to an average of about $11 in July 1910. Therc was practically no change in the pig iron market from July to the close of the fiscal year.
 "The continued high cost of all material and supplies which the company con- sumes and the increased cost of labor without any proportionate increase in the selling price of pig iron, so intensified the problem of successful operation that the opportunity for good results was mar rowed, under the existing circumstances, to efforts to increase the coal and coke business and further improvement in oper ating efficiency.
 "On account of the low selling price of pig iron, only one blast furnace at eacn plant kept in operation. The other two furnaces have been repaired thor oughly and are ready to go into blast when the iron market warrants.
 "As an offset to the dullress in pig iron, your company materially increased tho sales of it's surplus coal and coke, which are much sought for on account of their excellent qualities. New equipment has been installed at the coal mines and coke ovens for meeting the requirements of the trade Sales are only limited by the tonnage available.
 "The commissary earnings were s101.- s3s 80 and the net rents were s24592 9s. The net earnings of the year were s106, 1922 .27. The company expended during the year for additions to property. permanent i'm provements and new equipment $102 746. 75 The net quick assets show an increase of some s2l 600 for the year.
 '"rhe close of the fiscal year finds all mines and ovens sold up for everything except our own requirements, and with the new equipment at Searles. Brook wood and Lewsburg, the next year should show a substantial increase over this one.
 According to the settled policy of the officers and the board of directors of your company, the plants and equipment are kept in the best of physical condition and high state of efficiency. The condition of the property has been favorably com mented on by visiting bankers, mining engineers and iron and steel experts. All expenditures for maintenance and re- newals are charges to costs
 Tn the first part of April. 1910, a con- pete reorganization of the executive and managerial forces at Birmingham and some of the plants, was made. Reduction of organization. hearty cooperation of all employees and many economies introduced. contributed their share to the results of the year.
 'As is the custom, there is presented herewith in full the annual financial re- ports of the company. prepared by the well known firm of Messrs. Price, Water house & Co.,. chartered accountants. Other statements of intertst to the stockholders will be found in subject pages of this re- port. Respectfully submitted JOSEPH H. HOADLEY, President"
