Under this wrap hangs to the ground

BEGIN SELECTION
OF INCOME STAFF

Washington, November with most
of the regulations for the collection of the
income tax out of the way, internal reve-
nue. officers today turned their attention
to the selection of the staff to collect the
money. In the next few months 1884 dep
uty collectors, 40 agents and 40 inspectors
are to be appointed.
Several thousand applications for these
positions have been received at the treas
ury department. Appointments probably
will be appirtioned among the states and
In most cases successful applicants will
need the Endorsement of collectors of in
ternal revenue in their districts and be
acceptable to senators and congressman
Although the operation of the income
tax law so far as concerned collections
at the source of income began today, the
actual cash win not reach the treasury
for many months Corporations and 9TH
ers who pay interest on bonds or mort
cages, or who pay salaries or other
forms of income must withhold the nor
NAL tax of / per cent. except as provided
by the law. The return of the sums
withheld will be made early in the year
but the collections will not begin until
June.
Secretary McAdoo said that the reg
ulations of the collections for the tax put
out by the department might require
changes from time TO time.

NOVEL SUGGESTION
FOR AUDITORIUM
Ratterman Would Build It
Over East 10th Street
and Create Arcade
To the Editor of The Accelerate.

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid:
Now that the auditorium bond election
has been carried, and that the question
OF location where to build same is the
next STEP have made investigation In
reference to the law in regard to Cap
itoi park, which, in my Judgment, is the
most iosical place in Greater Birming-
ham.
l wish to make a suggestion on the
building of same in Capitol park with
out inJuring or spelling the beauty of
same, but adding to and improving the
appearance by building an up to date
auditorium.
First, by having the board of city COM
mlssloneis dedicate the use of East Tween
tieth street, between Park and Eighth
avenues, north, over and above which
the auditorium could be constructed so
as TO have an arcade under same, with
places for stores. which could be rented
out, and thereby have an income from
that source; also have the subway or en-
trance through which all the cars from
the different parts of the city could pass
both from the north and the south en-
trance by laying double tracks, over
winch all street cars should have right
on way granted to them by the. city.
The object of this is to make it the
most convenient for all the people to be
delivered into the auditorium arcade, also
making IT the, most convenient for auto

Sales Of Pipe Are
Life of Iron Trade
Other Consumers Hold Of Expecting
Even $1t Per Ton Price
To Be Cut Later.

BIRMINGHAM ALA, June 21.--
Some sales of pig iron have been
made in Southern territory but not
enough to warrant the assertion that
the expected buying movement has
started. The quotations are down to
S11 per ton, No. , foundry. and while
reports are current that this price IS
being shaded, this Is not acknowl-
edged. The sales recently made were
for iron to be shipped out Of the dis
trict
Local consumption is showing i'm
provement, as the cast iron pipe plants
receive orders for immediate delivery
of various sizes and shipments are
being rushed forward. Several train
loads of pipe will be rushed to Cali
fornia points.
The foundries and machine shops
are doing fairly well, about as we'll as
might be expected with the pig iron
market so quiet.
Pig iron, under 81 per ton, No. 2
foundry basis, is near cost. Con-
sumers who are still holding off point
to the $10.50 quotations that prevailed
last year. Manufacturers remark that
as soon as Congress adjourns and the
tariff is revised there is likely to be
an improved condition in V1e general
market
Curtailment in production is being
carried further, and it is believed
there will be a difference of at least
per cent in the make for the present
month as compared to last month.
There is a large quantity of iron in

CHICAGO. June 24.-If present in

bushels, or almost 100000 bushels
in excess of last years harvest, and
compared with 9S,5OO,0OO bushels two

Figured on the old basis the total
wheat promise of the country is 1885,
900, 900 bushels. But on the new basis
the promise is 744, 600 900 bushels The
full crop of last year was 100000 900,

There has been some deterioration
in Kansas and Oklahoma wheat since
the June Governments figures were
made up. In the three Northwestern
States, where the bulk of the spring
wheat is raised. there is the promise
of 1874 500, 600 bushels, or 6S,5OO. 900
