HIS ELECTION TO THE CHAIR OF

GENERAL SATISFACTION TO

DECISION TO READ GOVERNORS
MESSAGE IS SOMETHING OF AN
INNOVATION.
BY J. n. Reese.

Tallahassee. Fla, April 4.-If there
were surprises in the organization oi
the Florida legislature for the session
just opening, they were of the mega
tive character. There was nothing OF
an unexpected nature to occur in the
senate and the interest in the speak
ership race was not marked by any no.
ticeable Intensity.
The election of T. Albert Jenning5
Of Pensacola, to the chair of the house
seems to give general satisfaction
among the members. His ability as a
presiding ofacer of that body is un-
tested, but he is said to be POSSESSED
Of the essential qualifications. and
these were foFensically set forth by
Representative Riley Dor1nan of Su-
wannee in a speech which is being
commented upon today as far away
and beyond the standards Of oratory
heretofore sustained In that assem-
bisge.
It - quito naturally suggested todax
that the elevation OF Jennings to ths

with his foszrer aspirations to the gov
trnorship. lslay. lead to his candidacy

THE TRADFSMAN'S
WEEKLY REVIEW
An UAprecedent Condition Prevails in
the Southern Pig Iron and
Steel Market.

Chattanooga. Tenn, Dec. 21.-COn.-
menting on conditions ID, the iron and
steel market The Tradesman of this
! week says
can unprecedented condition pre-
walls in the Southern pig iron and
Steel market. There is an activity in
the buying for the month Of Decem-
Der that has never been felt before and
what has been going on and promises
to continue for a few days at least
yet is creating a good feeling among
the manufacturers. Inquiries are in
hand which may not be censummated
until the coming year, during the first
three months of 1912, but there has
been enough business booked already
to warrant steady operations next
year and to arouse the belief that be-
fore the end of the first half the max.
will have to be supplying the demand
alone, the accumulated stock to be
wiped off.
The quotations during the month
OF December have taken on strength
as we'll as an advance. No iron sells
now IN the Southern territory under
$40 per ton, No. foundry basis. For
delivery during II sscond Quarter o.
the coming year some of the manu-
lecturers are asking $10.50 per ton and
for the latter part of 1912 it is init
mated the price may go to or beyond
Sl1 per ton. The immense amount of
IRON already sold ahead is gratifying
so far as the tonnage goes.
The steady operation of the blast
iron furnaces into many months to
come means steady operation in min
ng and allied circles
Among the important industries o.
ganlzed in Arkansas for the week
ending today as reported by The
fradesman were the following:
