business Good In Atlanta

81 have just returned from Atlanta and
business in that city seemed to be very
brisk, indeed" said Il. W. Blackford CT
the Donovan Provision company yester-
day afternoon. ''The wholesale merchants
seemed busy and all appeared prosperous
and optimistic.
1.-THE streets of Atlanta, however, are so
narrow as to give one an impression that
the Georgia city is as busy as Birming-
ham. Peachtree street in Atlanta is as
narrow as State street in Chicago, ano
on such narrow tiioroughfares 1t does moi
take very many people to present scene
of great activity.
Business on Morris avenue is IN nor
NAL condition. Business today was only
fair, but that is nothing unusual on
Thursday during the summer months
Practically all of the retail merchants
close their doors on Thursday, and' OF
course the wholesalers feel 1t.

WHEN THE RAIN COMES DOWN

BY Frank l.. Stanton.
When the rain comes down on the burn
ing town
The children stand and stare
From the windowpane on the cooling
rain
On the drops that cluster there.
They stand in blithe and rosy crowds
AS the glad rain falls from the burd-
ened clouds.
But old folks, they look sad, and say
While the rain the easement laves
And the roses are having a holiday:
"It's raining on the gravesr

Whenever the clouds are raining so.

The Iron Market

The local pig iron market continues
fairly brisk. The s11 price is firm and
it is believed that iron will advance
to s12 on a No. basis during the
next few weeks.
Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati cir
cular says:
New business during the week while
satisfactory has not been In unusual
volume, but price hardening continues
and the situation is improved through
out. Prompt delivery iron is being
taken according to contracts in most
instances, and the reduced production
of blast furnaces at the present time is
all going into melt with no accumula-
tions on furnace yards. and at some
points further inroads on the already
greatly depleted furnace stocks.
"In the south the advance to $11 Bir-
mingham basis is being strongly MAIN
tanned Stocks of iron in the Birming-
ham district are at minimum Steel
making iron continue strong and sales
during the week have been consum-
mated.
Recent sales of equipment and
structural material to railroads have
been larger than for some time past
and are subject for favorable comment.
Furnaces are still loath to encour-
age buying for extended period and,
in consequence. all sales are for cur
tailed delivery. both buyers and sellers

bring forth.
