Output of Pig Iron Thus
Far in 1912 Is 14,072,-
274 Tons

New York, August 4.-According to the
American Iron and Steel associations in
tial statement. issued last week, the out
put of pig iron during the first half of
1912 was I4,o72.274 tons. The steel COM
panies In this period drew upon the fur
naces for proportionately less iron than
formerly. but the ACCESSIBILITY OF creating
a strong foundation for the advance In
prices of finished steel products prompted
larger pig iron purchases in the last 60 to
80 days.
The United States Steel corporation for
several weeks has been continually in the
market for small lots OF Bessemer iron
and with moderate tonnage in specula-
tive hands prices advanced last week 4
cents per ton with sales of 10000 tons for
Ohio delivery at s14 at furnace. Basic
too, was held more firmly with the Pitts
burg Steel company inquiring for about
5000 tons and the Colonial Steel com
pany for about 5000 tons. The American
Steel Foundries is understood to have
closed for 10000 tons at $l3.5 valley, but
furnaces are now asking 70 to so cents per
ton more. A st. Louis interest took 10000
tons of southern basic, as well as 10000
tons of foundry grade. The Westinghouse
Air Brake company purchased 22,00O tons
Of foundry grades for deliveries extending
through the first quarter of 1913. and the
Standard Sanitary Manufacturing COM
pany 1900 tons forge and foundry grades.
The eastern market continued dull.
Larger orders for steel plates and shapes
for marine work were placed prior to the
advance of 81 per ton that followed the adj
vance of 81 per ton In steel and iron
bars. A further rise in these products
seems probable In the near future. The

NEED HEAVY RAINS
FOR COTTON CROP
Movement of New Cotton
Will Be Closely Watched
the Present Week

New Orleans, August 4.-With the Au-
gust condition report a thing of the past,
the cotton trade this week will be able to
give full consideration to current weather
and crop Developments The market will
probably be a weather affair. pure and
simple Anything important enough to
outweigh weather as factor in determin-
ing the course of prices cannot be fore
seen now.
showers this week will he generally ac-
cepted as favorable TO all parts of the
cotton region To some extent the drouthy
conditions in Texas have been relieved.
but the relief cannot be called more than
temporary. Heavy rains are needed to
insure a full crop, and any rainfall there
this week will be the signal for selling
from both sides What is true or Texas
is also true of Oklahoma. other sections
of the belt do not need rain but crops are
clean. and the theory is that August rains
tend 10 make big crop, and. therefore,
rains in the central and eastern sections
of the belt will have a bearisf1 effect on
prices.
The movement Of new cotton Will be
closely watched this week. There has been
a promise Of late that the August move
ment would compare quite favorably with
the movement Of late years in spite OF the
Iateness of the crop and the slender re-
ceipts thus far when compared with last
year. Any marked increase in the move
ment will encourage the short side, but
1t may call out spot buyers for, according
to the bull side, a strong spot demand
still exists and buyers are anxiously wait
ing for the new crop to move. Develop
ments in this direction will be awaited
with interest The week Is likely to open
in quiet way because the Liverpool mar
ket will be closed.

than series of theories and. suppositions
based on circumstances. 1t was this sit
uation, coupled with the fact that she is
a woman of some dash and spirit, and the
further fact that Grace himself appeared
to have amounted to so little, that fore
ordained the acquittal of Mrs. Grace.
AS deep as has been the interest in the
case excited by certain remarkable feat
ures of IL, the Atlanta public is heartily
glad that 1t is over with. and that for a
time at least there will be relief from
the sordid details of 1t. They will prob
ably be rehearsed again in part In the

FARMERS DISCUSS
TERRACE BUILDING
Practical Talks Delivered by
Experts Before Institute
at Auburn

Auburn, August 4--(Special)-The sec
ond day of the state farm demonstration
conference was full of information and
full of ginger. This meeting, it has been
stated by many, is the best and most
profitable ever held, full of interest from
the start. live questions. and all subjects
being debated from the purely practical
standpoint of farming as a business.
The meeting sped along from discus
sion to discussion. The construction
of terraces was discussed and then the
actual work was done In the field. The
construction and the manipulation of the
instruments were given by e. r. Calhoun,
Clarke county. His special topic was The
Manner of Making Broad Terraces Di-
agrams were given and then the actual
work was laid out ON the ground. one
characteristic that features these discus
sions is the laboratory work, that is, act
ual applications and demonstrations.
Laying OFF Rows on Broad Terraced
Fields" was the topic OF j. w. Sartain,
Walker county The symposium was con-
cluded by w. H. Conway, Chiffon county,
who discussed How to Plant and Guilt
vate on Broad Terraces the number
of burrows and the general distribution OF
the civilizations was set forth in a thor
oughly practical and successful manner.
In the afternoon r. c, Carlisle a grad
uate of the agricultural course at Auburn
who is demonstration agent for Bowndes
and Crenshaw counties. talked on tilt
drainage. He gave instances OF many
tiled fields that paid for the cost of the
work seven times over in 10 years.
Another lecture In the afternoon Inn
pressiye and demanding most careful
thought by all people of Alabama was
rendered by b. L. Moss on the status OF
the boil weevil in Alabama. In this lee
ture he predicted the time OF the weevll's
arrival In each county, and the probable
damage 1t will do. He sketched the best
cultural methods and discussed the eli.
matte effects on the boil weevil.
Thomas q. Atkinson of Houston coun-
ty gave discussion OF cotton wilt. Mr.
Atkinson has been breeding wilt resis'
tent cotton very successfully and is quail
flied by experience to give instructions
on the subject.
The conference was served with a spread
OF splendid melons when all the men,
bers again visited the experiment farm
and inspected the barns, dairy, cattle and
highly interesting experiment plots OF
cotton, corn. forage crops, etc
