 "In spite of the great activity in the iron market, coke has received even more attention. Some contracts have been closed for requirements as far ahead as the last half of next year. Dr Garfields several orders of last week, curtailing production and fixing maxi mum prices, have tended to stop al selling. The reduction in the output of the beehive ovens is throwing an extra burden upon the by produce producers, already under a heavy strain, with con tracts falling behind and buyers in creasingly insistent upon shipments.

do business with Many women buy and sell the same as the men and know what they are doing, having had pre- vious experience in Texas and Okla homa.
 Most of the people here have made money out of this business in Texas and Oklahoma, and it may interest you to know that I am reliably informed by number of the best operators that Alabama and Georgia are both being prospected by scouts and geelogists and the next big oil movement is ex- pected in those states.
 From four to twelve men sleep in a room in the hotels here on cots. A single room is out of the question. Al Homer some of the largest wells in the world have come in at practically shallow depths less than 2100 feet. Mir Rowe, from Troy, Ala, has made over s9, 0O0. 900 there in the past year. Others have done equally as well, and the game is just started
 The safest way to trade is to buy leases in advance of production and sell part of them for the cost and ex- penses and retain part until a well comes in near, then the value is jumped very high and enormous fortunes are made this way on small investments This is as Safe as dealing in real estate in growing city, only the enhance ment in values is as fast in oil in one month to three months as in a city from 10 years to 30 years, and you know what that means, when you look back at Third avenue in Birmingham 20 years ago between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, with it's little negro huts and then see the great business thoroughfare it is today.
 I will stay in Shreveport a few days longer. then go to Texas to examine some properties and leases there ane return here and make this headquar ters, as the consensus of opinion is that this is to be the center of the oil excitement for the coming winter as the big operators and speculator' are coming from Texas and elsewhere daily.
 Many amusing incidents occur and all kinds of people are in the game from the large operator with expert ence and unlimited capital, with his geologist and trained oil men to the beginner, who has never seen an oi, we'll and is trusting to the Lord to take care of the foolish and let the wise i take care of themselves.

With the ending of the coal strike the industrial situation is brighter than it has been in many weeks. Every branch of business is stimulated and the holiday trade was never more promising.

Shreveport La, December 14.-(Spe- cial)-This place is on a big boom. The lobby of the Hotel Youree. which is larger than the Tutwiier lobby, looks like the stock exchange in New York.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port says:
 While in one or two districts the heavy pressure for shipments against existing pig iron contracts has light ened somewhat, for the most part, it continues unabated, and it is apparent ly impossible for the foundries to ac- cumulate sufficient raw material above their actual needs for their daily melt, to insure continuous operation during the winter months if further interrup- tions of production and transportation occur
 ''rhe furnace men are put to it in their efforts to effect just distribu- ton of their eurtailed output.
 "As the year draws to a close, orders for immediate shipment decrease, but there is no let-up in the demand for iron to be delivered during the first quarter and first half of 1920. From sales already made, it is apparent that there will be a shortage during these periods and buyers continue to cast around for brands to be used as sub stitutes for those upon which they nor mally depend. This is not only the case in respect to the standard grades, but is also true of specialties such as charcoal iron
