When asked yesterday-the nature of the

said:

Birmingham who was planning not to

to his candidacy for lieutenant governor
has been developed.
IT am making a vigorous campaign, :
he said, ''and feel confident that l would
win even were opposition to be developed.
However, do not expect to be opposed. :
In the opinion of well posted political

his standard so many prominent leaders

tically impossible for any man, entering
so late in the game, to dislodge him.

DETROIT RECALLS CAVET
ON A PROLONGED OPTION
SOUTHPAW WILL GAIN TRIAL
WITH DETROIT AFTER THREE
FAILURES-GIANTS AND CUBS
WANTED HIM

Mobile, August 13.-Piteher Teller Cavet
was claimed by Detroit on an optional
agreement Yesterday morning. When the
southpaw was placed with the Mobile
club, gentleman's agreement was
formed whereby Detroit could repurehase
Cavet for a certain sum. His wonderful
work this season has convinced the De-
troit club that he is ripe for the majors,
after three unsuccessful attempts to stick
with the Tigers.
Although the Chicago Nationals and
the New York Giants were anxious to
land the southpaw, the Detroit club re-
fused to lift the lein and Cavet was sold
for a trial in the fall
The big lefthander is Just "a years
old. He is giant, six feet, three inches
tail and weighs 1870 pounds. He was born
in 1889 at McGregor, Tex where he now
lives. The southpaw debutted with the
Little Rock club in 1908, but was shunted
to the Muskogee club. After a splendid
season in 1909 he was purchased by De-
troit and released to Rock Island in the
Three-Eye league in 1910.

LACK OF RAILROAD
BUYING KEENLY FELT
Iron Mills Feel Absence of
Purchases Particularly
IRON SETTLES DOWN
Restricted Buying and Declining
Specifications Have Resulted in
Lower Prices on Some
Finished Lines
IRON SETTLES DOWN


Cleveland O., August 13.-- (Speeial.) The
Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say;
Restricted buying and declining specific
cations have resulted in Tower prices on
some finished lines. This softening was
foreshadowed by the reduction in un-
filled orders on the Steel corporation
books. which aggregated 5,S99.SoS tons on
July 81. the lowest total since March 81
1912, compared with June 3d. This is a
falling off of 4O7,961 tons
With the exception of the heavier fin
ished lines independent steel manufac-
turers comparatively are not SO well situ-
ated and the end of their future delivery
tonnage is in sight in the east The taper
ing off in the finished steel demand ID
reflected by the declining ingot produc-
ton, one or more open hearth furnaces
have. been. shut down in several plants
1t Is logical that eastern WORKS.
should feel the effect of a contraction
in the buying movement as in large
measure they have been dependent upon
early delivery demand.
The absence of railroad buying Is be-
ing keenly felt, particularly by the iron
mills, and the unsettled condition Of
the market is indicated by quotations
as low as $125 in the east and s1.4o
in the west 44sA
Wire products have declined 81 q
ton and are quoted at st.s5 Pitsburg
for nails and 81 As for wire. But weld
pipe in sizes up to two-ineh has been
reduced 81.
Following a period of protected ac-
tivity, the pig iron market has settled
down to a normal gait. Practically all
of the large consumers have covered
their requirements, although scattering
sales of small lots of foundry iron are
still numerous in all centers.
To bring production more nearly in line
with consumption. five eastern merchants
stacks are scheduled to blow out this
month In the entire west, however, pig
iron shipments exceed production and a
Detroit furnace has been added to the
active list, while a Pittsburg steel works
stack will be blown In within a few
days
Basic iron continues In heavy demand,
the Portsmouth Steel company having
taken 5000 tons from a southern Ohio fur
mace at slightly less than $14. While the
American Steel Foundries purchased TO-
600 tons for its Alliance and Sharon, O..
plants at s14.25 Valley.
