METAL PRODUCTS ARE NOW MOVING
 IN GROWING LOTS
Several Steamers Loading at Mobile With Birmingham Steel and Iron for Far
 Distant Ports

Within less than a months time the Pacific coast will have taken 1000 tons of Birmingham water and gas pipe.
 This is in addition to consider able tonnage of sanitary pipe, wire mill products and some pig iron.
 The coast has also taken 12,OoO tons of Ensley rails. they going to Alaska Quantities of rail acces sories, such as tie-plates. rivets and the like accompanied the rail ship ments.
 All this movement has been out of the port of Mobile and has been shared by four steamship lines, all going through the Panama canal.
 There are now loading at Mobile on the steamer Delco, Van Heynigen Brokerage company, agents. which is to leave Wednesday, 1000 tons of high pressure pipe for San Pedro and Los Angeles. This pipe is supplied by Birmingham's three high pressure pipe makers, the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company. the American Cast Iron Pipe company and the National Cast Iron Pipe com pany
 The Delco will also take sanitary carry about 300 tons of wire mill products. A small amount of pig iron is also in the cargo.
 L6nding for Pacific
 Page & Jones, agents, are loading a steamer with about 1,500 tons of high pressure and sanitary pipe for the Pacific coast at Mobile. The National and Hammond Byrd companies are supplying large portions of this cargo. Page x Jones have sent a number of ships to the coast with Birmingham steel and iron products and was the first of the Mobile ship ping lines to bring back return cargoes of mercahndise for Bir- mingham wholesalers, the goods com ing up the Warrior in barges.
 The Hattie Luckenbach of the Mo-. bile liners, left Mobile about two weeks ago with a cargo of 2,0OO tons of pressure pipe, sanitary pipe and a variety of wire mill and other steel products. This vessel made halt dozen California ports with delivery at each. Her total cargo of iron and steel products was about 5000 tons.
 Low Rates by Water
 Movement of cast iron pipe to the Pacific coast during the past year has proven an immense lift to that business. the movement being aided by the low rates made by the steam CTS, which have been much under the all-rail rate.
 The steamship companies plying out of Mobile have been competing for this business on the showing made by 1t last year and where one line was engaged in the business, several now seek it. 4
 The high pressure Apipe market has stiffened and the price base tends to rise above the frecent low point, which was s35.
