SOME FURNACES WITHDRAW

Following the sale of very large ton- nages of pig iron, including 10000 tons in the Pittsburg district in the last 10 days. some Virginia furnaces withdrew from the market for the first half of next year and advanced their quotations to $19.50 for No. for last half. and a day or two later retired entirely from the market. Other Virginia makers advanced to $2O and $050 at furnaces. In eastern ter ritory and also in the south, and in fact in nearly all parts of the country con- ditions are feverish. Some of the highest quotations heard undoubteoiy are nominal and are made by sellers who do not wish

Cleveland, O.. November 1.--(Special.) ) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Advances in pig iron during the past two years have been very slow com pared with the upward movement in quo tations on nearly all finished products. but during the last few weeks the mark ing up of pig iron quotations has pro- ceeded steadily, until now very high quo tations are prevailing throughout the country, and still further advances are expected. Finished materials also are be- ing advanced, but price considerations are not paramount. The announcement by the Steel corporation of a quotation of $325 on plates, an advance of $3 per ton as compared with last week, has at tracted very little attention, although in ordinary times it would be an announce ment of considerable importance. Today the principal concern of buyers is to get their orders placed at any price. and to hasten deliverieS.--ast

 ACTIVITY IN STEEL MARKET
 The taking over of the properties of the Wharton Steel company, Wharton, N J., which have been active for a number of years, by J. l.. Replogle and associates, and the announcement that op- tions on a tract of 800 acres on the Della ware X river near Claymont, Del. have been closed. and that new steel works will be erected by w. F. Worth and associates, are indications of mucn greater activity in steel making in eastern territory as is also the awarding of con- tracts for important extensions and im- provements by the Bethlehem Steel cor poration for it's Sparrows Point, Md, plant
 The production of steel has proceeded at record-brealdng rate, but mills have so many orders on hand that few sales are being made. Large tonnages of shell steel. discards from the Pittsburg district, are being offered in eastern territory.
 COKE PRICES
 Both furnace and foundry grades of coke have been selling at more than SS, Connellsville, for prompt delivery but the furnace price seems to have receded to S7. Prices for future delivery are more req sonable and one furnace has made a contract for 10000 tons per month for de. livery throughout next year at S3.75.
 Car and labor shortage are largely re- sponsible for the extraordinary price of coke.

Can it be possible that the American Anti-Sa- loon league considers the situation in Ala bama of a more pressing nature than that in the sister state?

 Arrives Tonight
By LEON c. BRADLEY

PTOOhSle Is GOIlllnB4 .udth.
 The arch fend or the noble hero-ac- cording to the individual viewpoint-is returning to paths he has trod before.
 The horned Mephistophelas or the winged angel of Alabamas bloodest po- litical battles is about to resume his du- ties in this state.
 Why is he returning? Or why did he of the Alabama Anti-S Saloon league and it's status has resulted in the former leader being brought back? What political sig nificance, if any attaches to his coming
 All these and many more questions are being asked by the political leaders of the state. For regardless of the personal view, the return of the Rev. Brooks tunes of the Anti-Saloon league is a mat ter of no small moment. At this time it is especially significant.
 LAWRENCE A POWER
 For 10 years the league, under the di- rection of MT. Lawrence, was the most potent political factor in Alabama. Its word in many cities and counties was law and finally 1t gained the mastery at the state capitol. It's influence, sorne- times silent, sometimes boisterous, was not to be discounted.
 No public official. however secure he might seem, no man, however virtuous he might be, was safe from this in- visible force. And the hand that guided the machine. the master who welded it from tho disorganized mass of the tem- perance forces, was Brooks Lawrence. His was the power behind the throne. He was the Warwick to whom all had to bow.
 Strong men, men powerful in public af- fairs, and apparently leaders. did his bidding at every nod of the head. He was the director of the affairs of the pro- hibition forces which stirred Alabama as she has not been stirred for many years. Sometimes in complete control, at others apparently trailing in the dust of defeat, he held his organization to- gether in a manner that was marvel to many astute political organizers.
 No citizen of Alabama was ever so maligned. The finger of hate was never pointed with keener delight. The "caretbagger from Ohio" suffered the sings and arrows of outrageous fortune" His name was household word From every stump 1t was shout ed-sometimes in terms of highest in way to bring a blush to those of tender feelings.

Suaar and Sweetness.

Granulated sugar tastes sweet. Pow

comes less sweet.
Just owing to this fact it is very
hard to convince people that fine sugar
Is not adulterated.
Put n grain of quinine. mixed, into

sweetness Increases. Common salt in

or foods as well. Cooks are aware Of
this and act accordingly.
Raw sugars, which contain very neg
ligible quantities of the sweeter sirups.
taste much sweeter than graduated
sugar. Yet their sugar contents are,
as we have said much less. This is
due to the salts in the raw product
The refiners' imitation stuff is even
preferred to graduated for making APP
