A force of workmen has been
busy several days this week, in con-
nection with the big steam roller,
in making much-needed improve
ments on Main street. The chug-
holes that have caused a large
amount of profanity on the part of
drivers of vehicles are being filled
up with crushed rock with top
layer of Kentucky rock asphalt. and
rolled down so as to make good
finish. 1t is hoped the improve
ment will be a permanent feature.
The exceedingly hard nature of the
material that had been put down
made it a difficult matter to remove,
but the work of resurfacing is be-
ing done in a good manner.

least, and are exciting the wonder

IRON MARKET IS
 BECOMING QUIET
Foundries Have Booked Great Volume of Business for
 Future Delivery

The Birmingham iron market is quieter than 1t has been in two months. The Hull in the buying movement prevalent throughout the country is noticeable here.
 The let-up was to have been expected Tremendous buying was done in July and August, and all makers are booked fully for the rest of the year.
 There was one sale of 1000 tons for early delivery and one of 300 tons for first quarter of 1921. These lots were taken by southern consumers. A small lot of off iron was disposed of in the spot market.
 England is to leave Port ofN Brunswick at an early date.
 Some additional water and gas pipe will be shipped to the Pacific coast via Mobile soon, and it is understood that there will be some more tonnage for Japan.
 Some large contracts are pending in the water and gas pipe field. Sanitary pipe market is not active. Plants have orders that will keep them busy for thirty to ninety days. The 1921 busi- ness is indefinite.
 Birmingham Steel Corporation is quite busy making structural steel for build ings in the southern states, several being in the Carolinas
 SIoSS-She1Ileld company IS making rapid progress with the pipe line for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company. Prospect is. that the connection with the by-product works will have been completed by November 1 and that Birmingham will commence using by-product gas at that time.
 Iron market prices are firm, that of Birmingham iron being s42 base, except with the leading interest, whose price is S3S, but it is not large producer of foundry iron.
 28 STACKS
 There are twenty-eight active furnace stacks in Alabama, as follows: Eight of T. c. I on basic and one on foundry, three of Woodward on foundry and one on basic, five of Sloss-Sheffield on foun- dry, two of Alabama Company and two of Republic Company on foundry, one of Gulf States Steel on basic, each of Thomas Iron Company, Central Coal and Iron, Sheffield Iron Corporation and Woodstock Iron Corporation on foundry. one of Shelby Iron Company an char coal.
 Charcoal iron is selling at s60 per ton and there has been an active market Tor the one-furnace production.
 Coke is firm at $10 and S11 for furnace makes and runs from $13.5e to SIS for standard foundry. Some of the latter has sold even higher for spot delivery. Steel works report high point of pro- duction and are still far behind in de- liveries.
