CITY IS ID SELL LOW COST MEATS Government Surplus Stock
 Will Be Sold Here In Carloads

More government meat at reduced prices will be offered for sale by the city of Birming- ham.
 This decision was made by the City Commission at a conference yesterday.
 D. E. Mckinley, city purchasing agent, was instructed to immediately put in an order for carload of bacon and beef. The order will be made from the depot at Atlanta and should be re- ceived in Birmingham in about ten days.
 The meats will all be canned goods and will consist of canned bacon, corn beef hash roast beef and corned beef. The canned goods will be sold from the lobby of the city hall. All work will be done by city employees and just enough will be charged for the meats to cover freight and actual cost at the Atlanta warehouse. As soon as the carload is distributed, another quantity will be ordered by the city.
 Up until about three months ago the city had sold $25O,0 900 worth of foodstuffs," says MT. Mckinley. 'In one day we did business of $22.000. Householders are quick to realize the saving to be made in purchasing these government supplies. Our customers include all class of people" The government ceased selling this foodstuff to municipalities sometime ago. After checking up, another sup ply of the meats collected during the war is now being offered. Birmingham was quick to take advantage of the second offer.

 It wishes rails of any kind and size' Special inquiry was made with refer ence to the possibility of being accom- : modated by the mills of Birmingham.
 Long distance telephone was used in an effort to ascertain if the rails could be secured here.
 The General Equipment Company finances large enterprises in South America, and there is where the de- mand for the rails appears to come from.
 It is not believed that this large ton mage is required by any one enterprise, but by number of them in touch with the General Euipment Company.
 The export demand for all kinds oi steel products is quite strong, and the Ensley and Fairfield mills ship large part of their product abroad.
 Any amount of pig iron could be sold for export but the makers prefer car ing for the domestic trade. Inquiries for large tonnages for export are turned down every week and very few are ac- cepted
