UNCERTAINTY" IS COND|T|ONOF IRON
 MARKET LOCALLY
Practically Every Iron Max CT and Dealer is Marking Time Waiting for Some
 thing to Happen

What Is the iron situation at pres ent?" was asked of a number of iron makers yesterday. The composite of their answers was uncertainty" Every body seems to be waiting to see what is going to happen.
 Prior to the signing of the arniistice when the government was taking practi- cally all of the output in the Birmingham district either directly for it's own con- sumption in gun and intuition plants, or for delivery to other plants working to England to replace iron purchased there when the American army first went to France, the local makers filled their books with orders that would take the greater part of the production up to July of the present year. Most of these orders are still on the books of the com panies but deliveries are not being called for to any great extent.
 Consumers all over the country are re- ported to be waiting to see what will happen; whether prices will be lowered or maintained at approximately the figurec now prevailing. The recent shading of the $34 quotations failed to bring pur- chasers into the market. or to stim- ulate the market in any way. One com pany that is booked up to about July is beginning to pile up some iron on It's yards The January shipments of this company were fairly satisfactory but since the first of February there have been very few calls for deliveries. Pur- chasers in many instances are reported to be seeking either cancellation or the contracts or q considerable shadinS of the contract price. An executive ot this company states that unless shipping orders are received before very long one or more of the furnaces now in blast will be shut down.
 We do not intend to make iron at present high cost and pile it up on our yards" he said. This is no time to accumulate stocks in view of the almost certainty of lower prices within the near future
 The demands of purchasers who placed their orders during the summer and taii of last year for a reduction of the con- tract price is not meeting with faVoraple responses from the manufacturers, 1t IS stated, although some of the local com panies have been selling at around %So to $3l a ton since January l.
 Several furnaces in the Birmingham district have been blown out since the first of the year and two or three others will likely be shut down before the end of February. Those that are now in blast are not producing as much iron as in former days, a condition said to due largely to the inferior quality or raw materials.
 Two hundred tons of iron have been shipped from Bessemer to Mobile TOT export trade within the last few uays and other shipments are expected to oe made within a few days.
 Cast iron pipe from the Bessemer plant is also reported to have been shipped during the last few days to Japan, the first pipe exported since the war began.

Upon receiving tip that whisky was being made there, the officers yesterday afternoon raided the place and found the still in operation, the whisky being found running out of the cooling worms into 5-gallon jugs. They immediately phoned Government Officers Robertson and Allison, who were at the government building, and upon arrival the experi- enced revenue officers declared that the still was the largest they had ever seen, and believed it to be the largest ever operated in the south.
 The boiler for the still was located in the basement of the building 20 feet below the sidewalk and pipes through which steam was run to operate the still were run through the floors of the building to the second story in which the still was stationed.
 When the detectives arrived steam was flying in every direction and the still was running in full blast. When the ofil- cers reached the second floor, where the

 Building in Norwood

The Moro Land company, recently in corporated, is dividing the 40-acre tract of land in Ensley acquired from Frank Nelson, Jr., and Leo k. Steiner, into residence lots. with the view to placing them on the market. This property is To- cated in the outskirts of Ensley, toward Pratt City, and is equally accessible from both places.
 Leo K. Steiner. one of the incorpora- tors of the Moro company, stated yester- day that engineers are now making sur veys and plating the property and that within a very short time lots will be off, fered for sale. These lots will be sold at prices ranging from s250 to $50O.
 Real estate shows some signs of ac- tivity recently, and agents are hopeful that out of the numerous inquiries they are receiving a good proportion of them may materialize into actual business. The inquiries are mostly for residence property at moderate prices The scarcity of de sirable residential property for rent and of apartments that are not already occu- pied is influencing great many people to enter the market as purchasers. It IS almost impossible to find a desirable res idence or apartment that is now vacan, or that is likely to be vacated at any near date. Owners are advancing rentals rates from s to s10 month, the higher rentals to become effective April l, gen. eral moving day in Birmingham.

 Meeting to be Called

'"The fact that the fifth Liberty Loan has been called offs by the treasury de- partment will strengthen the War Saw ings campaign" said State Director Ar thur C.. Crowder yesterday.
