steel prices continue to sag as manu-

ABOUT 1900 cars, or the smallest total for
one month this year; about 10 locomo-
tives and 3ooe0 tons of rails. There is
stun fair inquiry for equipment. Fin
ished steel orders during May were ex-
tremeiy low even with the low prices
governing. Prices are of an average
OF ii a ton since May /. Pig iron Or
ders have shown less volume in the
past week, with prices practically ua-
changed.
In spite Of the excitement of the mar
ket the members of the New York Cot
ton Exchange found time to elect Of
ficers for the ensuing year. The regular
ticket. TO which there was no opposi-

While the outlook for big crops COM
pels some of the railroads to order new
equipment, in order to be prepared for a
very heavy volume, of business in the
coming fall. the roads in general are still
practicing a rigid economy, and are likely
to adhere to 1t for some time TO come.
1t is a wholesome practice. and its ulti-
mate effect will be beneficial to the COM
psnies and to their stockholders. It may.
of course. result in a rush OF orders for
later on. II business revives
suddenly: and under such circumstances
1t might be necessary to pay little more
for material than under current condI-
tions. but that is one OF the chances
which a conservative management must
be prepared to take at times OF doubt
and uncertainty. such as the roads have
to contend against at present.

Bales First Day.

Atlanta. Sept. 4.-The buy pale
of cotton movement which has been
designed to relieve the cotton market
situation brought about by the Eu-
ropean war, was taken up in Allan
ia today at meeting Of prominent
citizens who contracted for the pur-
chase of 301 bales. Other meetings

every individual in the South to BUY
at least one bale of cotton at ten
cents per pound direct from the far-
mers and place it in warehouse lot

COMPLETE RE-SURFACING
OF WILSON BOULEVARD

The new surface of ground shells
on Wilson boulevard between Cal
houn st. and the new Logan st. bridge
has been completed. Street Commits
sioner Charles Doolittle supervised
the work Of construction of the re-
surfacing Of this thoroughfare. AS
II was expected that 1t will be one Of
the busiest streets of the north side,
IL was thought that the trial of a
shell road would be best applied on
this street.
The shells were supplied free TO
the city for use on this road by the
owners Of the button factory in the
east end OF the city. The expense to
the city. was in the hauling and roll
ing Of the shells after they had been
applied. There was little grading
necessary TO be done TO put the street
In shape for receiving the shells. over
IL inches OF shells were placed over
the road. This will ensure a solid
bed OF hard material which II is ex-

are scrap which is thrown away after
