require about 4ooo tons of shapes and soo0 tons Of plates.
 The Boston and Maines is expected to buy from 4cO0 to 50J0 tons of structural material During the past ten days con tracts for from 12.C00 to 1oOc0 cars have been placed and it is estimated that 4a,- oGo cars are pending. The activity in car buying is reflected in increased strength in the plate market Some plate mills are notable to make deliveries in less than 60 days. Rail business is fairly active and some systems which had bought round lots are again coming into the market. One western line has just closed with Steel corporation mills for a supplement tal order for e5,0o0 tons. The Grand Trunk Pacific has awarded the corporation 4n- eoo tons of Bessemer rails to be rolled al South Chicago. The Canadian Pacific has bought 15.0oo tons of s5 pound rails to be rolled at Gary. The Tennessee com pany has taken 3700 for the Central of Georgia and 40G0 tons for the Grandin Lumber company
 The coke market is attracting much att tenton.
 Operators of number of furnaces would like to blow in their stacks if sat isfactory contracts for coke could be made. but there does not seem to be any prospect that they can contract for less than $250 for delivery during the last half of the year. It is conceded that the production of the Connellsville region cannot be greatly increased this summer and that the present output is just about equal to demand. Some furnaces may be blown out, unless they can contract for last half at less than s25O on the whole, the outlook is that production of pig iron during the next few months will be in creased ittla if any. and that pig iron prices will be firm.

SIMMONS SPEAKS ON
 STEEL TARIFF BILL
Although It Is First of Long Series on Tariff, Senators Show Small
 Interest

Washington, Nav 1.-Senator simmons today concluded his speech in advocacy of a revision of the metal schedule and notwithstanding it was the first speech of long series in the tariff fight, Sena- tor Stone found 1t necessary to mildly lecture the Senate on it's lack of interest
 The Missouri senator could see no req son for continuing the general discussion except for campaign purposes.
 ''I had assumed that to be the purpose of the democratic senator's" remarked Senator Galinger.
 They can pursue that course with bet ter reasons than the republicans re- piled Mir. Stone.
 Mir. Simmons referred to MT. Schwab as a ''petted child of fortune.' and said that he would like to see reduced the extor- tionate profits obtained by him through the employment of horde of cheap alien laborers.'

DR. TEACHER DRAWS
 BIC CONGREGATIONS
Preached Powerful Sermon Lass Night -"Three Ap-
 bearings of Christ"

Awake, thou that sleepeth and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light" was the text of q most Impressive and forceful sermon preached by Dr. Thacker at the South Highlands Presbyterian church last flight
 These services are marked by stead- fly increasing attendance and pro- found and deep interest in spiritual things is being aroused. pr. Thacker is deep scholar and thinker; his ser mons quickly brush aside the froth Gnd bubble of merely emotional Chris tlanity and reach down and grip the vital things of life Thus he appeals 10 the people Of highest culture and ir- iellectual attainment. although all the while he is holding up the simple story of the Christ, the redeemer and savior of men.
 The appeal last night was not so much to "go out into the streets and lanes of the city, to left up the drunk ard and the outcast as 1t was to go into the palaces of kings and of princes Unto the homes of wealth and of cul- ture and carry message of peace and of warning to those who are sleeping the sleep of death. He referred again to the Titanic disaster, saying that in this day of sensationa1ism in order to be heard at all, God has to speak to us ln loud voice.
 IT. SCdQccrning his text, he asked three questions and answered them; ITO whom is this text addressed?" First, .,.2t pat al said there was danger that after hay ing preached to others he himself might become castaway So much, more is

CHESTNUT UPHELD

Birmingham News: That close decision in the ninth was criticised, but Umpire Scott Chestnut calls them as he sees them''-and you can't beat that nor kick about it.
 Birmingham Ledger: With Fisher on third, McDuff hit one to Reagan, who begged to Ramage The contention was made that the throw pulled Ramage off the sack, but Umpire Chestnut decided otherwise. Be it said, however, in Chest nuts favor. he calls em like he sees 'em, and the boy certainly saw or thought he saw that pediment of Ramage hit the sack before the spiked foot of McDuff connected with the bag.

GREAT ACTIVITY IS
 NOTED IN COTTON

New York, May 1.-The cotton market was sensatonally active and weak to- day. Under heavy general liquidation prices broke over s1.7o per bale from the closing figures of last night. This meant approximately s .75 per bale from the high records of early last week. There seemed to be nc particular feature to account for the decline for some of the biggest cotton houses in the trade were reported to be very heavy sellers both here and in Liv- erpool. and the general liqudating process was said to reflect a conviction that the recent advance had discounted all bullish old crop features and also a late start with planting in the south.

 there danger to us who are so much more slothful Christians. Our friends al about us are in danger. We fail to give them this gospel call. We need 10 wake up. We have dreams of ambition and wealth and society instead of be- ing awake for Him. Jesus said, Why sleep yep"
 The speaker pathetically described the scene of Jesus in Gethsemane and of His eXclaiming. What, could ye not Tdtch with me one hour?"
 T wonder" he contfnued If you men and women here in Birmingham haven't been sleeping when the Master left you to watch? Will you sleep on until your opportunity Is gone?
 Tn the second place, the call Is ad- dressed to those who are not Christians Every promise in the book is an intima- ton that you are asleep in sin A low ing Savior is bending down over the un- saved. begiing them to awake.
 What is the call? It Is to awake and rise from the dead' He told of the three crosses where were two thieves dying with Christ. Both might have been saved but only one was
 What must be the horror of an awak- ening at death when it is too late" he said. 'So few of us are preparing for that future. Even lngersoll believed in fu- ture.
 Tt is better to heed the loving call and awake before it is too late. Just as a mother will startle child from it's sleep and take it to safety. so Is the Sayiors call to awake a call of love, too.
 What is the promise that goes with this warning2 It is that God will give you light. What the world needs is light. We need a physician--the good Physi- clan who can heal the soul We need i someone who can take every tear drop 1 and make it an eternal crystal of glory ! that's Jesus.
 ''The call Is urgent Awake, It means new. Tn all the Bible there isn't a prom l se intended to be taken tomorrow. It s always today"
 1 The sermon was followed by a solo by | MT. Fisher, Calling, Oh, Hear Him"' | It was a supplementary appeal In song to the sermon. Every note was rendered ! clear and filled with a spiritual yearn- ing from the singers heart and moved his hearers deeply. The solo was accom- 1 panied by the skillful and delicate toucf l of Mrs Fisher at the piano.
