CAR SHORTAGE ACUTE
Coal Production In Eastern and Northern Fields Heavily
 Curtailed

The ear situation in the northern and eastern coal fields is becoming acute according to reports made to the Black Diamond. coal trade journal of Chicago which says, in it's issue of January Y:
 IA ear shortage of heretofore unheard of proportions, the logical aftermath Of the coal Ntrike, featured the coal trade the past week The shortage ranged as low as ten per cent in the Pittsburg district on some days, and in no field was there more than a seventy per cent sup ply during the week.
 while the shortage can be directly traced to the conditions attendant on the strike, other contributing causes are to be noted. Of theseI the refusal ot inc railroad administration to repair .-s adeouate amounts the rolling stock in their hands, and to build new equipment, t.tb of cars and engines, is the most se- rious. This has brought about short age the duration of which will extend close to the end of the present coal vaar If if does not last until April

Pig Iron Is in ActiUe Demand With Sales at $40 4OBirn1inghan1

tonnages are placed for last half de- livery Almost daily, some furnace finds itself so well sold up for the tirs' half, that 1t has withdrawn from the market A few which are now ready to blow in. are unable to do so because of the coke scarcity. Although off cially terminated the steel-strike con tinues to interfere with production in some districts, Practically all Of the furnaces which have been idle for some reason or another, have such heavy commitments carried over, that even should they resume operation in the very near future, they will have little, if any, iron to offer for sale until After Ilv lst.

 The small tonnages offered from time to time by English manufacturers are eagerly taken.
 "Colxe remains in somewhat the samo position it has occupied since the fuel administrationf set maximum prices. The producers have been holding back on first half quotations, until now the first half is upon us. Some find them selves forced to take care of their old customers in spite of the uncertainty which surrounds the future of their cost. There is very little coke avail able for prompt shipment and no de sire on the part of any operators is shown to push the sale for future de- livery until conditions become some. what more clarified"

With 22 active stacks in the state the production of pig iron in Alabama is larger at present that it has been at any time within the past year. The demand for metal is good and indi- cations point to continued activity for a long time to come.
 Prices took another upward bound last week, some small sales reaching the $40 mark, and none was sold under the s3S basis.
 Following the settlement of the coal miners and steel workers strike, tue latter being officially called off week or ten days ago, the consumption of coal increases considerably and fon the first time in many months com plaints of car shortages were heard last week. There were also few re- pc rts ot labor shortage.
 Reviewing the iron market for the week, Rogers, Brown & Company of Cincinnati say:
 This week the pig iron market opened quietly. On the surface 1t was I ot nearly so acSiVe as some of us lm- IT ediate predecessors, but large orders were being quietly booked The buy- CTS, apparently, attempted to protect themselves for the tonnage they will require for this year without adding impetus to the actively advancing price wave by sending inquiries broadcast As the week has progressed, however and more and more business came to light, extemrely heavy open buying has developed. These orders are foi practically all grades and delivery. Ip view of the scarcity of iron for early shipment, however. most of the heavy

 "The strike period, for its part. saw a wide distribution of cars throughout the country, many cars from eastern fields going into western territory. The result has been that, with only limited motive power at it's command, the railroad ad- ministration, has failed to return these ears to their accustomed channels Too, the administration has held hundreds of cars loaded during the strike period. and confiscated, for storage purposes.

Tuscaloosa. January Specially
 Robert l.. Scale. famlliarly known as
 Bob Scale, the Cattle King e.
 Sumter County" while in the city this
 week told some wonderful instances
 of the profit to be made out of goo6
 cattle, one of which is worth repeating
 He told of a couple of short horn calves
 that tipped tho scales at 600 and 6lV
 pounds. respectively. at the age of sig
 months These calves had not cost the
 owner one penny. All that they had
 had to eat was the milk they got from their mothers udders and the grass that grew in the pasture where they
 were born
 At the age of six months these calves
 were sold to Chicago dealers for le cents a pound. or $90 each, pretty
 good price for six month old calves. Mir Scale says that it costs no more , to raise a blooded calf than it does scrub and that the calf of the better breed will bring twice as much ana ] in many instances three times as much in the open market as beef. He does not think that the demand for good cattle will ever be overdone, but he does think that the low-price beef can ! glut the market.
 | He was very modest in speaking of l Sumter county as cattle section II 1 says he supposes Sumter is the lead l ing cattle county of the state, because ] they commenced to raise blooded stock 1 down there first He was very compii- i mentary of the strides that Dallas, Per l ry. Marengo, Wilcox and Montgomery are making along that line and is not at all jealous of the good work those 1 counties are doing in importing and 1 raising blooded cattle. In fact, Mir Scale was glad to know that other | counties in Alabama were doing a' i Sumter had done, and devoting more | time and capital to cattle.
 1 What Mfr Scale had to say in his curbstone talks about raising better cattle was listened to most attentive l ly by a good many people from the | country, who are turning theiS atten- !stion to cattle raising. There was never so much interest taken in cattle in the history of Tuscalosa county a' at the present time and Manager l

Cattle Raising Profitable
 to Sunrpter County Farmers

w Ross. of the Tuscaloosa Railway and utilities Company is piled with questions on all sides as to when the creamery Will be ready for the recep. tion of milk. Mir.

 Everybody in this section is now preaching cattle-better cattle-and the creamery is giving a big boost to the cattle industry.
