'P|G IRON PRICES
 STRONG AND UP
Sale of Basic Said to Bave Been Made at Fifteen
 Dollars

The Birmingham iron market continues strong with an upward tendency. Since the recent large buying the local mar ket has been comparatively quiet this week, but indications point to another heavy buying movement in November.
 Several weeks ago considerable ton mage was booked for the second quarter delivery at $14. 50 on a No. foundry hasis and some large sales for the first guar ter are said to have been made at that price The usual quotations at the pres ent time are s14 to s1450 for No. ,. but it is understood that the latter price has been refused for very large tonnage. It was said yesterday that one concern had booked an order for basic iron for Jan uary delivery at s15. Conservative sell ing sales managers think that Birming- ham foundry iron will reach the s16 level shortly. Matthew Addy & Col Cincn- natl report just received here says;
 'srhe best evidence of the fact that this great forward movement in iron has come to stay is found in the many requests for faster shipments. Consumers who bought for shipment in November and December are asking to have deliveries made at once, and there are requests to have 1915 iron shipped now. Concerns that thought they had enough iron to get through this year have had such an increase in their business that they need more than they had anticipated The big pipe shop of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Fonn- dry company here al Addyston is melting 200 tons a day and has more orders ahead than at any time in it's history. This IS true of many other manufacturing con- cerns We have had five years of under consumption; the country has been limp ing along on a wear and tear basis and perhaps it has not been fully up to even that standard Now comes the time when the natural growth of the country de- mands the inevitable expansion of the facilities necessary for carrying on our industries. That is the bed rock on which the boom in iron rests Fortunately this movement is world wide; in Great Britain and in Europe there is the same demand for iron as here. The reserves in furnace yards are already negligible quantity At the present rate of decrease there will by the first day of next March be an actual shortage in pig iron in America.
 "There has been much scattered buying this week in both large and small or ders.
 Coke is in fearfully short supply All coke fields report an acute scarcity of la bor and cars No hope for much better ment in these directions for some months to come Coke prices are advancing.
 Pig iron is stronger and higher quota lions soon are certain"

RECORDERS JOB IS
 STILL UP IN AIR"
Commission at Session Yes terday Heard Kicks on
 Street Conditions


 The commissioners met yesterday afternoon and the action in which most interest was centered was the probable election of a recorder to fill the place vacated by Hugo Black An almost endless array of petitions was verbally presented and the meeting finally ter minated without the eleeticA of a re- corder. On that account some surprise was expressed, but the commissioners would youehsafe no answer to the rid ale. It was deemed probable yester- day that Matthew Murphy or Clement Wood would get the place.
 The position was pledged to MT. Rob inson last Tuesday, 10 minutes before the commissioners met, and later he withdrew from the contest MT. Wood was appointed temporarily, and is now serving. The commissioners would not Indicate yesterday why the election was not held yesterday. Judge Lane has not breathed any intimation for publi- cation. but 1t is understood by some friends of various applicants that Judge Lane has advised them that he Is com mitted to MT. Wood
 The commissioners transacted a con- siderable amount of routine work yes- terday. delegation of Elyton citi- zens was on hand to protest against the condition of some streets in tha [ section of the city, which they claimed were useless even before their comple- ton by the contractors. fine legal point is said to be involved in the prop osition.
 The commissioners also confirmed a considerable amount of street improve nlents. which have been under process of routine formulation for some time. No action was taken on the Kelly fran chse application. The advocates of that measure appeared before the com mlssioners in private conference after lhe regular meeting was over. How ever the officials of the proposed car fine and commissioners will have an other conference this morning.

AL ON QUESTION
 0F SEWAGE DISPOSAL

Cleveland, October 9.--Americans ana Canadians attending the convention of the Great Lakes International Pure Wa ter association found themselves divided today on the question of-sewage disposal. Dr. Allen ]. Mclaughlin of the goyern- ment health service. discussing sewage pollution of the great lakes, declared for a guarded and regulated discharge of re- fuse into those bodies. His stand was opposed by Canadians who favor gen. eral law in both countries that would for bid the discharge of sewage into the lakes
 Consolidation of the pure water asso- citation and the National Association for Preventing the Pollution of Rivers and Waterways was recommended in the re- port of a joint committee, of which pr. H. DeB Parsons of New York was chair- man. Details of the consolidation will be left to the executive committees of the associations.
 Dr. Charles J. Hastings of Toronto was elected president and Toronto chosen as next meeting place of the Pure Water as- sociation.

JOBBERS HAVE HAD BRISK BUSINESS
Mercantile Interests Experi-
 ence Active Trade
SOUTH SHOWING LIFE
Relatively Most Active Zones West, Northwest and Southwest-Iron and Steel Industry Continues
 in Enviable Position

New York, October 25.-Bradstreet' to- morrow will say:
 The mercantile interests of the country, speaking of them collectively have ex- perienced another week of exceptionally active trade. Jobbers of all staple lines have enjoyed a brisk business and calls for winter goods have come to the front in d noteworthy way. Incidentally buy-) ing for future account for next spring is becoming more conspicuous. The rela- lively most active zones are the west. northwest and southwest, which sections have been blessed by bounteous crops. Even the south, for long time compara- lively backward, is showing life thanks to free marketing of cotton, though things remain rather slow in the south Atlantic regions Shipping rooms. par ticularly of dry goods houses are over taxed in getting out orders and manu- facturers in most industries are working to capacity.
 The iron and steel industry continues in an enviable position, further advances in prices are being made and the rail- ways have bought more freely than at any
 
 tive, but the general situation is such as to produce further strength in prices. Re- tail trade tends to improve, especially in the west south and southwest. Collec- tions are improving and while matters in this respect are not yet entirely favorable the trends indicate that bills are being met more promptly.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending October 24 were 229, against 1s7 last week., 2sl in the like week of 1911, 220 in 1910. PIT in 1909, and 24l in 1908 Business failures in Canada for the week number 23, which compares with 26 last week and 3i in the like week in 1911.
 Wheat, including flour. exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending October 24 (report from Gal weston not received) aggregate 6,6559e1 bushels, against 5,7s5,610 last week. and 27S0,016 ths week last year. For the 1T weeks ending october 24, exports are 6S,- o1o,3SS bushels. against 50,36s,299 in the corresponding period last year. Corn ex- ports for the week are 129,13s bushels, aganist 57569 last week and 5226, no in 1911. For the r weeks ending October 24, corn exports are 1.324.76o bushels, against 1o.- 632, ,305 last year.

Dun's Letter

New York, October 25.-R G. Dun 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 While the Bulgarian Turkish war causes much uneasiness abroad it's chief effect in this country has been, first, to produce large foreign selling of Amer lcan securities and second to cause large foreign buying of American wheat.
 Reports from every section of the coun- try is favorable. and the general busi- ness situation is not only very active but is healthy. Taking it altogether there has never been more remarkable uplift in American business than that now in progress at time of foreign disturbance and of an important political campaign; and it is notable also that the trade and industrial expansion while testing the capacity of plants and banks and rail- roads and the labor supply causes a con- paratively small amount of friction.
 While new business has slackened in some lines of iron and steel this is more than compensated for by the railroad buying which is on heavier scale than at any previous time this year. Contracts for rails just announced exceed 200.00 tons and the orders already taken for 1913 es- tablished a record up to this date. Other equipment also Is in heavy demand with $13. 900 cash placed this week and consd- erably more than that amount still pend- ing.
 Aside from the railroad requirements the activity, as has been noted, is less pronounced. This is due to the inability to secure prompt deliveries, and the fact that most consumers of steel products are covered until next April.
 From every large distributing center comes favorable reports of dry goods markets. In cotton goods the numerous orders from jobbers and the manufactur- ing trades prevent the accumulation that is commonly looked for at this period. The demand for fine and fancy cottons has improved, and good business has been done in dress ginghams for spring. Staple prints and bleached cottons are quiet. Business in woolens and worsteds Is claimed better than for many years. The leading mills have all the work they can handle for fall and spring.
 Shoe factories report demand which brings productio nto the point of factory capacity. Leather and hides continue very firm.
