CAPACITY DRIVE ON
 AT CEMENT PLANTS
Insistent Demand for Ala bama Building Material
 From All Quarters

Recent acquisition of the Standard Birmingham, and rehabilitation and re- sumption of operations at the Demopolis plant, now owned by the Gulf States Cement Company, has emphasized that industry in Alabama.
 There are now in the state four cement plants, with a combined capacity of more than two million barrels per year.
 Cement is now selling at s2 per barrel.
 The Alabama plants and their locality are as follows:
 Standard Portland Cement Company, now Atlas Cement Company. at Leeds. GOO barrels per annum.
 Gulf States Cement Company. De- mopolis, capacity 300,oO0 barrels.
 Coosa Cement Works, Ragland, not now in operation, 100000 barrels
 Southern Cement Company, Birmins- ham, 1500O0 barrels.
 The last named corporation Is pro- ducer of cement manufactured from furnace slag, and this product is used especially in foundation work of large structures.
 The deposits of shale and limestone o- which the usual cement is manutactured, are limtless in Alabama.
 The principal question to be decided ir plant location in Alabama are such matters as railroad facilities. access to power and the like
 Cement works are booked to capacity several months ahead and are far be- hind in orders
 This state of affairs bids fair to maln- tain as long as the country is endeaV- bring to catch up on construction.

Warrior Riuer 7ernainaE-
 Facilities Sorely Needed

There are 5000 tons of manganese ore at Mobile that would like to move up the Warrior river so as to reap the bene- Tt or the 20 per cent saving in freight rates incident to coming that way, but 1t cannot do so at this time.
 The reason is the lack of terminal fla ciilties at Mobile and the uncomplete ed terminals at the Port of Birmingham.
 But just so soon as the Port of Sir mingham terminals are completed, which will be at an early date, this north bound movement will become a regular one.
 As soon as the new craft are on the river, which will also be soon, the traffic will be accelerated.
 Officials of the Port of Birmingham have been wary of offering to care for business which they could not handle, because they wish to avoid disappoint- ment and the setback that would follow disappointment.
 NORTHBOUND FREIGHT
 Speaking of manganese ore, H. G. Wood, general manager of the Port of Birmingham, says:
 Manganese ore will be a steady up- stream movement just as soon as we are able to handle it. Of course, we will at tain the ideal when the Mobile coal and ore terminals are built, In which event the ore-laden ships can load direct % barge or into bin and from bin to barge.
 But even after loading the ore at Mo bile and getting it at the Port of Bir. mingham, there must be unloading fla cilities there. We have not yet installed a drag-bucbet to lift the ore from barge to car. This will be done soon, how ever, and then we can begin handling this manganese ore.
 There is a regular movement of this ore. Not to mention other consumers, there is the Southern Manganese Cor poration at knnston, which uses it ln the manufacture of ferro-manganese in it's electric furnaces"
 Speaking of the terminals at the Port of Birmingham, MT. Wood said
 Our terminal facilities are busy every

JERSEY CATTLE HANGERS TROT
 OUT THEIR BEST
Fifty-one Head Sold for Over Sixteen Thousand Dollars at the First
 Annual Sale
By JOHN c. MOSES

Jersey cattle came into their own yesterday at the fairgrounds at the first annual sale of the Alabama Jersey Cattle Club.
 Fifty-one head of the best in the state sold fer the round sum of sl6,oiO. or an average of $3l4.51.
 If the natives of the little Isle of Jer- sey, located in the English channel, wisl an area of but five by eleven miles, could have known in advance that prices were to average so low, it would have paid them we'll to have attended the sale and sent some beauties back home.
 Several ringside speeches were made, the gist of all being that never in the south were such fine lot of pedigreed animals knocked down at bargain prices.
 But it was the first annual sale. Ala bama is young in the game, and next year outside bidders will be attracted here from all over the Jersey cattle 'circuit, as the breeders term it.
 Col, D, L. Perry the jovial old auc- tloneer. was at his best He stated he hated to see such thoroughbreds offered on the block so low but he was there to sell to the highest bidder, and he did.
 The sale was held in the Manufacturers building at the State fairgrounds. and the crowd numbered about 25O There was a good sprinkling of women in the crowd, who seemed equally as enthusi- iastic as the men. And it was hot. Every body was fighting flies and flaming them selves and the men had off their coats. But everybody was happy.
 A woman fancier was heard to remark that the horns of some of the cattle were manicured and shined up far better than the average Kitchen finsernails. And they looked it.

hour of every day. We are so swamped with business that we could not take on more.
 "As for northbound freight, we are forced to turn down a lot that offers not only because our terminal facilities are not yet adequate, but also because were we to attempt to handle more northbound freight with our limited terminal facilities and fleet, the set and ret ular southbound business would be tied up aLd interfered with.
 TERMINAL EQUIPMENT
 Tt is not a question of northbound freight any more than of southbound freight, but of terminal facilities For instance, would not great bottling con- cern in Atlanta, which uses more sugar than all the Households in Alabama, like to get it's sugar from New Orleans al 20 per cent less freight by having Il routed through the Fort of Birmingham than via all-rail route?
 ''Is there any doubt that Chattanooga would like to hitch on to this chearer freight route to and from the gult? Would Montgomery manufacturers and jobbers hesitate to get their stuff from New Orleans and Mobile by this cheapef route?
 They are all in the 20 per cent diff ferential territory of the Port of Blr- mingham."
 MT. Wood said that no effort would be made to interest shippers in the out lying territory of the Port of BirminS- ham differential until the port terminals are complete and the new craft is m service.
 As soon, however. as terminals and craft are both in form and service, the Port of Birmingham, he forecasts, will grow with great rapidity as the distribut- ing point of the favored territory The ultimate result. he predicts, will be a cIamor from shipping points outside and beyond this territory to enjoy the same privilege, all of which will be to the further benefit of Birmingham.
