EXport rate on DIE Iron to Moplle will be s2.75 compared with the pres ent rate of s413.
 Export rate on cast iron pipe will be s313 compared with present rate Iof S4.7O.
 Export rate on steel will be 13 cents a hundred compared with the present rate of 23A cents a hundred.
 Export rate on steel rails will, be $40 compared with present rate of $413. ~-
 The new rates will go into effect July 15. They are the same as the rates on these products to Mobile when destined for the Pacific coast.
 Railroad officials and the iron and steel traffic managers are now at movements of Birmingham pig iron to the east via the Warrior and Nal lory lines. As it is, the southern rail- roads are getting no iron haulage eastward, because rail rates practical fly inhibit such a movement. By en- abling the Warrior and Mallory line to do eastbound business. the south ern roads would have the short haul to the river, where there is no haul at all now.
 Find Cooperation
 One southern railroad system in particular is reported as being friend ly to this river and ocean movement so as to start business in east-boUnd iron. It is understood to be antici- pated by the southern roads that II they help move southern iron to the east. through the river and ocean, eastern roads which are more than indifferent to this traffic at this time, might wake up and make some rate adjustments that would enable a low CT rail haul
 The present rail rate to Boston is lStO.26. With same differentials ap- plying eastward via barge and Nal lory lines as apply on southbound traffic, the rate by river and ocean would be about sS A difference of s2 per ton in the freight on pig iron | is a considerable factor.
 Point of Trouble
 The rail and water rate of $7.0' out of Savannah to Boston does little good, because that Is to the port only. For a haul of 30 miles to the interior at Hopedale, Mass, another $3 Is added, thus fnaklnB tHt idil nh's water haul even higher than the alt- rail rate Southern roads seem to be- lieve that if the eastern roads saw southern pig iron again entering the east. they would make adjustments that would lower the all-rail rate. In that case and under better iron mar ket conditions the southern railroads feel that they would again. have an eastbound iron business.
 The question before the southern roads. it is understood, is some ad- Justment of rates to the river so tha' the barge line would not have 10 absorb so much of the total rate as is now the case. That matter T. subject of conferences.
 Working on Rates In like manner the iron and steel traffic men are at work on rates via Warrior and Mississippi rivers to St Louis, to which the rail rate Is now s5.75. A river rate there would knock off more than sl of the rail rate and help considerably.
 Furnace companies and the Warrior barge line are working out plan of cooperation, by which the iron

 Main Question
 But the eastbound iron business is che big thing at which the metal in- terests are working. From 20o.00o and 250000 tons per annum to AIassa chusetts. New York and New England points, movements of Birmingham iron eastward have dropped to almost nil. Not all of this is owing to de pressed state of the iron industry. but to the inhibiting freight rates which prevent competition.
 Realization of the bigness of this business Is understood to have caused at least one great southern system to regard the matter of reviving this business via the river and ocean with favorable eye. The philoso- phy of it appears to be that a short haul is better than none and that If the business revives by water eastern roads will reduce their charges for hauling to the interior from ports and thus bring about q lower through rate and revive the rail business in pig iron.

Yesterday was q big day for The Age -Herald's Wonder Walking Dolls" in the window of saks' store.
 Not only did the little girls who had seen them before come back to visit them again, but they brought lots of their friends with them to see these most marvellous dolies ever displayed in Birmingham. And the dolls bowed--they really make the most graceful imaginable courtesies and greeted each of the little la dies who had come to see them.
 Some of the dollies got tired of the window. and were so anxious to meet all their visitors that their nurse had to take them out and let the little girls on the outside hold them in their arms. Of course the litle girls were as d-lighte6 as the

 They still walked and talked and did all their other stunts. When they got tired of this. they played in the window as naturally and as happily as a crowd of real children.
 The doll man was still on the job, ready to tell each little girl the plan upor which The Age Herald was dis tributing the dolls. and most of them liked it well that they determined then and there to start to work.
 The dolls will be in Saks' window again today, and no little girl in Bir- mingham should fail to see them. for they are not like ordinary dolls at all.
 The plan upon which The Age Herald is distributing the dolls is announced elsewhere in the paper this morning.
