UNLISTED STOCKS.

J. A. Minnear & Co. say today;
Progress along the lines of activity
in the stock markets is not noticeable.
IL was announced in one of the east
ern news services today that irrespec-
tive of the outcome of the Supreme
Court decisions, the Standard Oil
would distribute to shareholders much
of the assets and re-organize This
would nullify the effect of an unfavor-
able decision. The New York market
was slightly higher. The announce
ment late yesterday OF the Osceola vote
in favor of the merger was expected
and met with much local approval.
A more favorable disposition was
noted among copper shareholders but
trading continued along very moder-
ate lines. Shattuck was offered rather
freely on the curb with no news Of i'm
portance on the issue. Giroux and
Greene Cananea were i'm fair demand
Boston-E Ely had sharp advances on ia
vorable news from the mine. Price
changes in the balance of the list were

originally caused all the over produc-

good indication OF what the situation

MARKETS

Boston-The failure OF the opqosi-
ton in OsCeola to prevent the Calu-
met merger did not seem to lend any
interest 10 the market The dealings
in Greene Cananea. Giroux and SUI
perior an5 Pittsburg constituted prac-
tically the bulk of the copper business.
Scattered selling is coming in on SUI
perior and Boston from holders un
able 10 pay the assessment, but the
decline does not in any way mean
poorer conditions at the mine. The
total volume OF trading is getting
smaller each day and nothing will
probably be done until after the SUI
preme court decisions which are not
looked for now until after April 10th.

Iron Ore Supply of the World

England ranks below the United States and Germany as an iron-pro- ducing country, and she begins to wonder if the Spanish ore fields, from which she draws a good part of her ores, will not soon show signs of ex- haustion. England, France and Ger many are all ore-importing countries, and the United States stands almost alone in her independence of foreign supplies. Some Cuban ores are im- ported, but that movement is one of convenience rather than of necessity. This country has an abundance of ores.
 Experts put the available iron ore wealth of the world at 123, 3,377, ,0O0,- 900 tons-an aggregate that defies exhaustion in thousand years. None of the ore fields are showing signs of exhaustion, not even the Spanish orc mines which have been drawn

COREA's REAL NAME

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
 Most of the newspapers and many of their readers have denounced the Japa- nese not only for annexing Corea, but for changing it's very name. It is on;y fair to the Japanese, who have tried to deal very gently with Corean suscepti- blities, to point out that they have done nothing of the sort. In the treaty of an- nexation Corea is called Chosen, which has been the name of the country for the last zoo years and more. Surely every writer and newspaper reporter who has travelled in the east has referred to Corea, with graceful literary touch, as the Land of the Morning Calm. which IS a poetical translation of Chosen. How comes it, then, that no one in the edi- torial rooms recognized the title in the treaty? The name Corea is one of those most strange bastard titles that Euro reans have given 10 eastern countries whose language they could not read or sneak. The ordinary Chinese name for the people of Chosen is Kao-li, which in vulgar parlance becomes Ko-ri q and r being interchangeable in all the far east ern languages). Travellers from the west found the word Ko-ri in common use and dubbed the country Corea

Peacemakers in the Saddle

On Saturday morning all the news from Mexico was portentious and warlike-before night had come all dispatches were as calm and peaceful as a May morning. An armistice has been accepted by Madero and no doubt it will be by Diaz, and negotia- tions for peace will assuredly follow, and those negotiations will assuredly usher in peace.
 All this may be said to be due to the fact that Madero did not demand Diaz's resignation as a condition pre- cedent. The wires were in error when they said he did. One other fact pro- noted an armistice-Diaz had off cially and publicly admitted that cleo tions in Mexico are not what cleo tions should be-that public education needs many reforms, and that the big ranches in the country should be broken up to be sold to real tillers of the soil. Like all other Latin-Ameri- can countries Mexico is in a back ward condition, and if Madero, can give his country real elections, bet ter schools and furnish land for the landless he will have done more for his country than the militant and dictatorial Diaz had ever done.
 The terms of the settlement are to be negotiated while the armestice lasts, and then the armies will be dis persed, including Uncle Sans. It should be matter of congratulation that we did not intervene in Mexico as we did in Nicaragua and Honduras. Intervention in Mexico would have been expensive and entangling, and the armistice is as welcome in this country almost as it is in Mexico. It no doubt renders intervention impos- sible, no matter what occurs on the border or in Congress. It lifts us out of a hole. Diaz does not love us, neither does Madero. Mexico is full of alf-civilized Indians, mostly peons, and this country wants none of them.

Lack of Schools in This City

All citigens of Birmingham are proud of the public school system that Superintendent Phillips has built up, but all do not stop to consider how deficient the Greater City is in school accommodations. The annual school report shows that high schools are needed on South Side and at Wood lawn; that elementary schools are needed at Thomas, on South Sida and an addition to the school at East Lake. Extensions are also needed at the Bush, Minor, Ensley high school, Wylam, Fairview, Hemphill, Avon dale, J. B. Cunningham and Pratt schools. All these are schools for white children.
 Out of a total number of 39,4S6 educable youth in this city about one half are negro children. The latter are without adequate facilities for education, and President Parker strongly urges the city "to give them buildings that are at least sanitary, and to give them that kind of educa- ton which will make them effective promoters of the health and welfare of the entire city" There is nothing revolutionary in President Parker's makeup, and in order to carry out his recommendations at least half a dozen negro schools should be built.
 It is extremely important that the proposed constitutional amendment permitting local taxation for school purposes should be submitted to the people, for the schools of this city cannot be maintained and improved without it.
 The Board of Education would do well to circulate its annual report freely among the people of this city. It is full of information and timely advice. Five thousand copies of it should be printed and distributed throughout the city.

MT. Aldrich's Monetary Commission

Senator Cummins has introduced a bill providing that the national mone- tary commission, of which ex-Senator Nelson W. Aldrich is chairman, shall make it's final report on December 4, and that the law by which it exists shall be repealed on December next. It consists of eighteen members, seven of whom are ex-senators and three representatives and these lame ducks continue to receive the salaries as commissioners that they would have received if they had been reelected to Congress. As planned the commission does not go out of existence until 1914. It is spending the money of the people at the rate of $100,00 year, and Senator Cum mins does not think such extrava- gance should be maintained beyond next December.
 The work of the commission is more academic than practical. The country is not ready to adopt plan that would render the New York banks still more autocratic, and in case of democratic victory in 1912 no one believes the central reserve plan could be passed.
 It is more than probable that the commissioners days are numbered, and that the Cummins bill, or some thing similar, will be passed. The commission has been unusually ex- travagant, and the country is tiring of any such contrivance for maintain ing the pay of men who had been re- jected in their own states.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-24

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 American poets we are informed. are preparing to organize the Poets Association of America" The stated object is ''an effort to create a greater interest in poetry" In this country. but that may mean little. The avowed purpose of every trust, in it's advance notices, at least, is to secure the greater economies possible through CO., operation, with the implied aim of re- ducing the cost to the ultimate con- sumer. although 1t usually works just the other way. The poets association may be merely cover for gentle mems and ladies' agreement by which the price of poetry may be sent aviat- ing after the other costs of living, or 1t may be only a sort of trade union among poets having in mind the boy cotting of all poetry without the union label. Either way, the ordinary con- sumner of poetry will await with anx- ious interest the further disclosure of the associations real purpose.
 Poets, we have been told, are born, not made, and in measure this is
 
 uct. So just how the poets associa- tion Is to arouse a greater interest in poetry is not quite clear. A cynic might suggest that the most obvious method would be to produce better poetry, but bearing in mind the popu- lar preference for "doggerep this might prove a delusion. Some poets have managed to get their efforts read by having them published as prose. Even when the reader finds the joke that is played on him he is rather proud of having detected 1t. Adver- tising poems, too, are read Perhaps here lies the real solution of that prob lem of arousing greater interest. Ad- vertising will boom any business. Why not poetry? Let the association nOpder the suggestion.
