EUROPE BEGGING ALAbAMA'S COAL Turkey Offers Up S1OO a Ton For Immediate
 Deliveries.
OF BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Statement May 4, 1920.
 RESOURCES

Constantinople wishes Alabama coal.
 Export coal merchants of Birmingham have received inquiry from an American business house in Constantinople. The statement is made that the Constanti- nople consumer is prepared to pay as high as s10O per ton delivered there.
 Spain wants Alabama coal. So does Italy. France. South America, Cuba and Switzerland wish 1t.
 Atlanta wants Alabama coal One of thN largest yard men of that city has been in Birmingham to place orders. His ards, which usually at this time of the year have large stocks on hand for sum- mer delivery, have none.
 No commercial coal has been moved over such lines as the Pittsburg and Lake Erie in six weeks. The outlaw strike is still keenly felt from Pittsburg to the West Virginia field, to Youngstown and to Chicago.
 A capitalist, who has been considering the purchase of three ocean going barges to ply out of Mobile to Cuba and tS~ east coast of Central America, in the export coal trade, came to Birming- ham to see about supply of coal. He could get no guarantee. He may not pur- chase the barges
 The ships are in southern waters but the shortage of gondola cars prevents the moving of coal from Alabama mines. There would be several more blast fur Eaces in operation were there cars to move the output.
 The steam and domestic demand for coal is as strong as that for export, but ear shortage prevents filling that de- mand.
 "Our principal occupation right now" said leading coal merchant, 'is turn ing down orders because we cannot guarantee delivery"
 Asked how it was that Alabama iron wards were relieved of 55,00 tons of ac- oumulations during April the reply was that box cars did that work. The great shortage is in gondolas. They are tied up in the north following the outlaw strike.
 If the car shortage is lifted pending the eMtraordinary export demand tremen- dous business will be done by the Bir- ningham district in that direction.

INVESTIGATION OF JURY SYSTEM AT
 TEMPORARY PAUSE
Judge Sustains Motion for Continuance by Defense. Jury Not Allowed to
 Pass on Case

Investigation of the jury system, in Jef-
 weeks ago following the filing of a mo- tion to quash a 'venire for alleged fraud,
 came to an abrupt halt yesterday after noon, when Judge Richard V. Evans Of
 the circuit court passed the case to be reset. The investigation may be reopened by the filing of similar motion when the case is again called for trial
 Opening the fight on the jury system, a motion to quash the venire for the week was filed by W. A. Denson, attor- ney for the plaintiff in the case of A M. Williams against the Louisville and Nashville Railway Company, the Sir mingham Railway, Light and Power Company, Lee c. Bradley, as receiver,
 and L. H. Stewart, when the juries were organized by Judge Evans on Monday, April D. Judge Evans declined to con sider the motion at that time, holding that it could not properly be made until the case was called and the plaintiff was put upon a venire. The case was called April 6 and the motion was made.
 An attack was made upon the Ven1re on number of grounds It was alleged that a number of names of workingmen in Jefferson county were not placed Ill the jury box. It was charged that the names were not properly secured by the jury commission and that they were not l properly placed in the box. Fraud was alleged on the part of the jury commls- sion in filling the box
 An investigation of the contents of the box was begun. The jury box was opend and list of the names contalhe1 in the box was made. A list was made also of the names which had been drawn from the box and of the men who nau served on the juries previously since the box was last filled. The investigation asted almost a. week. The panel of ju- TOTS from which the jury in the case was to he selected was kept in attendance from day to day. The case was then passed over to yesterday when the Jury was instructed to return
 When the case was called yesterday morning a motion for a continuance was made by the attorney for the deIehSe on the ground of remarks alleged to nave been calculated to poison the minds ol the jury. IT. J,,dea Evans sustained the motion lie stated that he considered the point well taken and that after what had occurrsu l the iury was not a proper one to si' mon the merits of the case. Judge Evans stated that since the object Of MT Denson was to get rid Of the venire by a ouashal and since the jury would not ne allowed to sit upon the merits or the case. if would be a moot question to pro. l ceed with the hearing of the question .. the venire. He held that the same oD'eS' was otherwise met.
 The iury was discharged by Judee Fvans and the case was passed to pe reset. ,da dur. | ;,,, tbe argument on the motion MT. Dem son was cited by Judge Evans Tor con,

IRON OUTPUT IS
 NEARLY DOUBLED BY NEW FURNACES Before June Twenty-six Stacks Will Be in Opera ton, Compared With
 15 Last Year.

Before the month Is two-thirds
 gone the iron-producing capacity
 of Birmingham will have been in-
 creased by 600 tons per day. which
 is at the rate of ls,0O0 tons per
 month.
 There will then be in operation in Ala bama twenty-six stacks compared with fifteen at the same time in 1919. an in- crease of 60 per cent. This means a 6C per cent increase in iron production over that at the same time in 1919.
 This heavier production will be easily The market is very strong now compared with state of near stagnation at this time in 1919
 Sheffield Steel and Iron Company has blown in No. city furnace after thirty days idleness. during which il was refined.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company announces the blowing in oi No stack at Bessemer about May 20.
 Both these furnaces will produce foun. dry iron.
 MANY ADDITIONS
 Entrance of second T. c. I. furnace or foundry iron will be of special mo- ment in the iron market. because the T c. I. is selling foundry at $3s, while the other interests are asking s42.
 The Sheffield Company now has five avtive stacks as follows: One eacf at North Birmingham. Sheffield and Florence and two in the city.
 This complement of active iron pro- ducers gives the Sloss-Sheffield the larg est current foundry iron productive ca pacity in the southern states. The Wood ward follows with four active stacks three of which are on foundry and onf on basic.
 The T. c. I. has five on basic at Ems ley, one on basic at Alice and one or foundry at Bessemer active. Alabama Company is operating two at Gadsden Holt, Jenifer, Woodstock and Sheffield Iron Corporation have one each going One charcoal stack at Shelby is in op- eration
 The Sloss- s-Sheffield now has a daily ca pacity of 1,500 tons of pig iron. This increase in production will come at al suspicious time, the iron market being exceptionally strong at a minimum of S4z
 The Sheffield will soon be gettns ty-product coke from the second sixty. oven battery of its new by-produc works. The total producing capacity O the plant is 800 to 1000 tons of coke eacf day.
 Other furnaces now idle would resume if coal and other raw material could p' assembled in sufficient regular quantity Republic Company has stack in condi ton to operate and T. c. l. has at leas two.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Nov. 12--All grain
smashed down in value today to
the lowest record since 1916. FL
nancial and industrial uncertain
ties were largely responsible. The
wheat market closed nervous. ~ c
to sc net lower with December
S1.76 to 1.77ta and March $1.69A
to $3.50 Y. Corn lost 15c to 21k C
and oats &c to / &c. In provi-
sions the outcome varied from sc
decline to 15c advance.
General selling started wheat
down grade right from the outset
with the bears making the most
out of unfavorable aspects of the
business situation. Besides word
that the British royal commission
and the Belgian government were
out of the export market counted
a good deal as a special depressing
factor. Later there were indica-
lions of export business with Italy
but the rallies which ensued did
not develop much force. 1t was
not known until after the market
had closed that the purchasing for
Italy was on large scale, totaling
according to some estimates, g.
100000 practically all United
States grown. Receipts continue
light.
Corn and oats gave way in SYM
patty with wheat.
Provisions at first were easier
owing to grain weakness. but sub
sequently recorded as a result of
talk that packers had been bidding
for lard.

WALL STREET



New York, Nov. 12.-Quoted
values in the stock market con-
tinued to crumble today. selling for
both accounts in which voluntary
liquidation probably predominated,
carrying the list to lowest levels of
the year.
In several noteworthy instances
today's prices were the lowest for
much longer period. United
States Steel declined to S2B. an
extreme loss of Is points and the
minimum. since 1917. Many popu-
lar shares were rs to 40 points I'M
der prices of few months ago.
Gross recessions of three to ten
points for the session marked the
active offerings of shippings,
equipments, motors, oils and vari-
Gus specialties whose rise and fall
are involved in the movements Of
the more distinctive issues.
Aside from the money market in
which Yesterdays promise of
greater ease was not fulfilled, there
were no new developments or hap
penings to account for the further
collapse of the stock market. -,
There were rumors of a pessi-
mistic nature dealing with general
industrial and commercial condi-
tons. These assumed a degree of
plausibility from the further re-
duction of output in the textile and
allied trades. the failure of a local
silk commission house and the dis
missal of some 1900 men by the
Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona,
Pa.
Selling of stocks was at its flood
in the final hour, the reaction then
cngulfing dividend paying rails,
especially Pacifics and coalers,
Reading making net decline of
6 "A points. Other net losses of
two to five points included Beth

ern Pacific and Canadian Pacific.
Mexican Petroleum and General
Electric overtopped the list. losing

amounted to 100000 shares.

by the break in stocks although all
