 Coal production in the Birmingham district continues at low ebb, and with furnaces out of blast, coke ovens shut down and cast iron pipe works running less than half time, no inl- provement can be expected for the time being.

 To meet competition from northern and eastern districts Birmingham iron must sell f. o. b. Birmingham near s2O a ton, which is several dollars less than cost of production. Based on this bare statement the picture drawn for Bir- mingham would indeed be gloomy, but there is a silver lining, according to some corporation officials.
 The head of one of the local iron making companies stated that he be- lieved the stabilizing of prices would in time have most beneficial effect in this district. He qualified the state ment, however, by saying that if the prices are really stabilized and main tsined at the figures fixed for long period of time, long enough to con vince the consumers that 1t is not going any lower, the business revival would soon set in. .e
 Now that we know what to expect in the way of prices we will have to go to work and figure out how we can make iron cheaper" the official said. When the consumer is assured that he is getting materials at the, lowest possi- ble prices he will come into the market for his needs and buy literally.
