NORMAL BUSINESS F OR THE LARGER
 METAL CONCERNS
Smaller Furnaces Take Ad- vantage of LulI to Make Much Needed Repairs.
 Market to Be Steady

The Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company will main tain normal operations both in iron and steel for the remain der of the year.
 The company's steel orders are ample for that purpose and the pig iron production is re- quired for steel production.
 November production, both of iron and steel. have been fully up to normal. the production of finished steel products be- ing 5000 tons in excess of October. With the leading iron and steel interest in normal operation the district will ride well into the coming year.
 $3S BASE
 The present iron market base is $S. The business that is done is on that basis. The reason is simple. Furnaces in the competitive iron field are selling at $3S. Southern stacks that sell now must meet that price. Iron masters appear to be we'll pleased at having the steel cor poration price to gracefully descend too. regarding it as much more satisfactory than no fixed stopping point.
 The Anniston shop of the United States Cast Iron Pipe company has been closed down, but expects to resume in a couple of weeks. For the present the new or ders in the gas and water pipe field consist of car lots for immediate re- quirement. Prices range from $70 for 6 inches and upwards in size to sT5 for 4 inches.
 All metal industries tend to slowing up for the remainder of the year, but the prevailing sentiment is that a distinct revival of industry is coming with the new year.
 MAKING REPAIRS
 The Woodward Iron comp1ny has blown out another stack Only two are now in operation. one at Vanderbilt and one at Woodward One at each place has been blown out During the idle period a lot of overhaulng will be done.
 One of the Woodward stacks, which was on basic, has gone on foundry. The only present basic makers are the, Ten nessee Coal and Iron company and the Gulf States, both of which convert their basic into steel Jenifer furnace of the Thomas Iron company went out about Q week ago.
 All shops will take advantage of the lull to put in lot of repairs that have been needed for some time, but which have been impossible during the rush of the past year. Some shops exprsss satisfaction in having the opportunity to take stock and brush up.
 SUPPLIES COMING
 The ship Bantu, with 5,000 tons of mag anese ore for the Tennessee Coal and Iron company is due to arrive at Mobile November 2S. The ore will be brought up the river in barges and transferred to plants from the Port of Birmingham by the Ensley Southern.
 The Tennessee Coal and Iron company is shipping 6,000 tons of steel down the river to load on the Tuscaloosa City for Rotterdam.

2o-CENT COTTON

''Twenty-cent cotton has created 2 very decided lVll in that trade. The country merchant is not selling much and, therefore he is buying very little This lull is apt to last until the early spring, but the farmers must make an other start then, and buying will re- sume.
 Hard as he has been hit by 2o-cent cotton, the larmer is better off under that condition than under previous slumps in the price of the staple, be- cause he has produced more of otker things. On the average, the Alabama farmer will pull through this period of cotton price depression better than he has heretofore done
 Prices of wiz mill products will not recede below the levels charged by the steel corporation since March of last year, because the steel corporation has maintained fair level of prices and has not participated in the higher scale charged by many of the independents for spot business. That spot business is now over and disposed of, and with it will go the higher prices charged for spot delivery. The steel corporation levels will remain because they have been conservative.
 SAGACIOUS POLICY
 we owe much to the sagacious policy of the steel corporation in the steel trade. It has served to stabilize it and has maintained level that the trade Is used to and that will prevent hesitation when business looks up and buying movements start again. The steel corporation mills are enjoying the reward of conservatism by having goot orders on their finished steel produc books while some of the producers ol the high-priced spot business are no in the same fix. Altogether the prospect for larg, and sound business in 1921 is very good I indeed. As spring comes early and th' | Alabama farmer makes an early star { of farming operations. recovery O rural trade conditions, reflecting bene ficiaily on city wholesalers, will like wise make an early start''
