Conditions in Birmingham l No Worse Than Elsewhere. East Expects Great Re
 vival Oct. l, He Adds
RESOURCES.

Industrial conditions in Birmingham are no worse than in other sections of the United States. l.. Sevier, vice president of the oss-Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany, who has just returned from the east reports.
 Mr. Sevier was in the east several days, spending part of his time in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and industrial centers in the middle Atlantic states.
 Many of the foundries in New England are closing down and others are running on about 40 per cent full time. The man. ufacturers are simply in a waiting atti- tude. They do not know what to eX- pect.
 The east expects improvement to fol- low the signing of the peace treaty, but the idea seems to hold that a real active industrial revival will set in about Oc- tober i.
 'The readjustment programme has got to be completed before any real activity can be expected, and that has hardly be- gun yet. The signing of the peace treaty. manufacturers believe, will give stability to the market, but even then time will be required in which to get everything ad- justed to new conditions.
 'I think 1t well for our people here who are inclined to be little pessimistc owe: local conditions to know how it is in other sections and what the industrial leaders there think of conditions"
 MT. Sevier stated that the foundries have very little of their finished prod ucts on hand and they say they will not work up the iron until there is some de- mand for what they make. Most of them have on hand reasonably good stocks Of pig iron and as they are either closeG down or running short they are not in the r1vo ct f4,. I Ion aoni
