 COUGH

to command the Adriatic, but also threaten the flank of any advance from Saloniki and prevent any effect i've move by the entente forces through Albania
 For Italy, the new Austrian success has a most serious aspect. The long, narrow Italian peninsula is peculiarly vulnerable to an attack from the sea. Any really great Austrian naval base in the magnificent harbor of Cattaro would have been impossible without Lovcen, but under the new circum- stances Austrian possession of Cat taro is almost as great a menace to Italy as the German conquest of Calais would have been to Great Britain.
 While attention is centered on the de- veopmerts on the Adriatic coast it is announced from Rome that two Italian transports, the Brisdisi and Citta Di Pal nero last week struck mines and sank A majority of the crews was saved.
 RUSSIANS RENEW ATTACK
 On the Russian front the Austrian off cial communication records renewed des- perate attacks by the Russians on the Bessara bian frontier, but insists that the attacks everywhere were repused The Petrograd communication is silent on the subject but the Russians usually withhold mention of their movements un- til they are well on the road to com pletion.
 There have been no important develop ments on the western front. The blow ing up of a large German munitions de- pot near Lille is admitted in the Ger man communication. According to one account this was due to a British air raid The English press believes that the cautious wording of the German com munication conceals disaster of large proportions.
 There is a great spirit of optimism in both British and French dispatches from the west front, the correspondents expressing the firm conviction of the allied generals that there is no possibility of any successful German offensive any where in the west lines.
 The correspondent of Reuters sends from British headquarters an interview with an unnamed prominent staff off cer. who was quoted as saying:
 We now have full information about the German forces facing us. We know their exact dispositions and strength. We everywhere outnumber the Germans and also outnumber them in both field and heavy artillery, and our weapons are bet ter than theirs. We can fire five shells to their one without depicting our mu- nitions. We can take their first line of trenches whenever we wish.
 To say that we have got them beaten IS dangerous rubbish, but the truth is, we have got them ready for beat ing

ANNISTON

Anniston, January 12.-(Special.)-A car load of soil pipe left the plant of the Central Foundry for Rio Janero, Brazil, today. It was necessary to make the shipment via New York, as it was found that there would be no steamers leaving from gulf ports for Brazil until next March,
 The pipe shipped yesterday was known as English pipe, and was of odd lengths, being shipped to fill a sample order that was received in competition with the English foundres who are finding it diff feult to find bottoms to ship their out put to South America.
 The plant of the Anniston Ordnance company on West Tenth street has de- veloped into one of the busiest plants in the city, and is growing daily in inn portance as an asset to the city.
 There are now 250 men employed at the plant, many of them skilled mechanics and artisans drawing high salaries, and the plant is being kept in operation 24 hours a day.
 Tuesday the first carload of hard steel forgings was received at the plant from Crystal park, near Pittsburg. These will be used in the manufacture of part of the first order of 5000 six-inch shells for the English army. The foundation for the new electric Hercult furnace which will be used in making hard steel is nearing completion, the transformers are on the ground, the high voltage wires are being strung and in a week or two the fur mace will be here. This furnace will be operated by separate independent com pany. and not by the Anniston Ordnance company.

MILLS ARE SLOW ID TAKE MORE ORDERS Have More Now Than They
 Are Able to Fill PIG IRON MOVEMENT Heavy Shipments COntinue-Specula tion In Warrants Checks Upward Tendency of Southern Pig
 Iron Markets
PIG IRON MOVEMENT

Cleveland, O.. January 12.-(SpeciaD The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The inability of plate manufacturers to give satisfactory delivery of their pro duet is shown in a striking manner by the fact that several companies in the east, which use plates in manufacturing have been compelled to close because they could not obtain material
 With order books filled as they seldom have been these companies must remain idle for an indefinite time. The filled up condition of mills is also shown by the trouble which the representatives of foreign governments are having in plac- ing additional orders. An inquiry for 5000 tons of screw stock for shipment to France, which has been pending in Cleve- land, has been withdrawn on account of inability to obtain promise of delivery prior to July 1.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-13
PRESSURE IS STRONG

French buyers in New York have been quoted 3.25c mill on 100000 tons of large rounds for delivery during the last half of the year. Pressure for contracts is very strong on the part of large con- sumers, but mills are slow to take on additional tonnages.
 Heavy shipments continue to be made of pig iron, particularly in eastern terri tory and the markets are strong throughout the country. In the central west, there is more buying for the last half of the year. but the volume of busi- ness is not large. Speculation in war rants in Alabama still checks the up- ward tendency of southern pig iron.
 The ferromanganese situation is more serious, owing to the possibility of the Suez canal being captured by the Ger mans, higher freight rates and the very high prices of manganese ore. Ferro- manganese on contracts has been ad vanced and is now selling at s125 tide water. while for prompt delivery as high as $50 has been paid.
 Indian manganese ore has been sold at 6S cents per unit tidewater, probably the highest prices ever made The rate of freight on this ore is 1l0 shillings.

RUSSIA BUYS HEAVILY

Russia continues to be the heaviest buyer of lathes, and other machine tools, but with the exception of demand from that country inquiry is largely from do- mestic sources. Munition makers in this country and abroad are for the most part well equipped and probably Will not fig ure very actively in the market during the next few months. Buying of ma chine tools by railroads is much more active.
 The strike in the Youngstown district resulting in number of blast furnaces being banked, has cassed temporary weakness in the market for spot furnace coke, but the labor troubles have not caused serious inconvenience.
 Consumers of semi-finished materials depending upon the Republic and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube plants were fortunately well supplied, but the loss of production will be felt later in the seml- finished material markets.
 The loss in production of pig iron, due to the strike. will be reflected in the statistics for production for this month which may, for that reason be slightly less than output for December.
