Tons of Paper From Sweden to Make
 Writing Paper Pads

Birmingham Paper company has found full use for the new shipping carton factory which 1t completed a few months ago.
 It now manufactures practically every kind of paper box and enjoys the distinction of being the only paper box factory in Alabama. It turns out writing tables by the mill lions a week. Its envelope business is also large one and continuously increasing.
 Size of the writing paper tablet business may be judged from the current importation of 100 tons of paper from Sweden for that pur pose. This Is coming in vessel from Sweden and will be transferred to Warrior river barges at New Orleans and come to Birmingham by this all water route at a saving of $5 ton.
 The Birmingham Paper company has grown from a small beginnings until it Is one of the largest of Bir- minghams diversified manufactories. Its able management senses just such economies as that of securing it's writing tablet paper at consid- erable saving in freight rate. Good and sound business policies have made the Birmingham Paper com pany.
 T. M. Mcclellan. president, says business is good and prospects very good indeed.

 If there Is a weak spot In the in- dustries of the Birmingham district l. Is not apparent.
 Large machinery shops and foun- dries engaged in machinery repair work are the only exceptions to the briskness of operations. New ma chinery orders will be the last sign of full recovery and repair of ma chinery close follower or precursor. Tennessee company continues 100 per cent operations with rail mill continuously at 5000 tons g week. Fairfield plate mill takes the place of Bessemer plate mill this week. Manganese ore is on the way to Mo- bile for conversion into iron at 8 Bessemer furnace.
 Cast Iron Pipe trade could not be brisker. New orders taken by U. s. Pipe include 16 miles of 16-inch for Hendersonville, N. C., and 61z miles of 14-inch for Chiidress, Tex. Bes- semer shop has begun turning out the 4S-inoh pipe for Atlanta on & 9.000-ton order. Pressure pipe base remains at $S7.
 Sanitary pipe finds all shops on full turn with as high as s55 paid for spot and nearby delivery. Cuba and Porto Rico are in the market.
 Cement makers report indications pointing to demand for cement great CT than capacity of the southern mills. Alabama mills will make a new high record this year. A pro- auction of 2.250,0oU barrels by the Leeds, Ragland and Demopolis mills is assured.
 Face brick plants are on full turn with handsome orders going to Flor Ida. Trial shipments have been made to Cuba. The Carolinas and Georgia are proving good tahers of the Bir- mingham product
 Work On New Plant
 Tennessee company has begun ex- cavations for it's 10 and 12 inch bar mill at Fairfield and Alabama By-Products company has begun work on the construction of 25 addi- tional ovens at its 50-oven Koppers plant in Birmingham, which will in- crease capacity 50 per cent.
 Coal and coke are going westward in large quantities that increase gradually. Production of weeks end- ing June 10 and IT was 330.0o0 tons, which is somewhat above normal. Alabama is enjoying an extra busi- ness of 50,000 tons of coal a week. owing to the strike. St. Louis and western roads are largest takers. with Chicago taking some.
 Coke to Peru
 Coke is selling at $5.50 to s6. Peru has ordered another 2.500 tons. Chi- cago and St.. Louis are taking larger quantities. Production Is respond ing to the demand.
 Iron market is practically on a s20 base. Three makers sold at that figure last week. St. Louis took lots of 1900 and 800 tons for fourth quarter at that base. Cincinnati took several cars at same figure.
 Large Iron Sales
 First large buying in some time was done last week by the United

Alabama By-Products Begins Work on Its New Plant Addition

The Alabama By-Products cor poration Is going ahead with the work of construction of 25 addi- tional Koppers ovens at It's plant in Birmingham. The new ovens will add 50 per cent to capacity.
 Material Is being placed and work of construction will proceed with dispatch. That there will be demand on the plant for the increased pro- duction may be judged from the con- tinuous demand far practically ca pacity since it went Into operation a few years ago.
 This plant was brought to Bir- mingham by Morris Bush, Horace Hammond and their associated in terests. It received coal from two of the most high-grade mines In the district and the result Is that It's several makes of foundry, furnace, water. gas and domestic cokes have found a ready market. It has brought by-product coke into use in foun- dries everywhere and more than established it's claims for foundry purposes.
 The market for this coke Is COCK tensive with the country. It goes to Pacific coast, all through the middle west, to all points south and to Cuba and other foreign countries.
 It Is the quality of this coke that has obtained the reputation which It enjoys and fully Justifies the dou- bling of capacity on the part of It's experienced and conservative man agement.

No Weak Spots Found
 Ln Various Industries Of
 Birmingham District
T. C. Continues Clipping Off 100 Per Cent Pace Cement Plants on Full Turn-Pig Iron Headed
 to $20 With All Makers

States Pipe company which is known to have bought about I5,000 tons and is believed to have covered for 2O,- 900 tons for third quarter delivery, The only maker quoting S1S.50 last week is credited with sales of 2, 900 tons to an Indiana stove maker and 400 tons to St. Louis. Indian apolis took 1000 tons and northern Ohio 1000 tons at $t8.5o.
 General expectation is that the s20 base will be universal for fourth quarter business in the immediate fture.
 Martinique Buys
 Island of Martinique is among the recent takers of Birmingham steel products, having had steel hoops shipped via Mobile.
 Birmingham slag is going heavily Into highway construction. BiFming- ham slag is placing 150,000 tons on roads in Alabama, Georgia and Florida at this time.
 Buying Cream separators
 Alabama farmers were officially notified this week following an in vestigation of local creameries that there Is market here for from three to four times the amount of butter fat now being shipped here and that cash payment will be made every two weeks.
 International Harvester company reports a thousand per cent more cream separators sold in Alabama this year than ever before, with a much larger taking of tractors by farmers.
 All fabricating and wire drawing mills are busy to extent of available labor supply.
 Reduced Freig.hts July
 Reduced freight rates go In effect July 1. Some of the thoughtful are ordering movements prior to that time where promptness of delivery is an important consideration.
 Scrap market is much stronger with No 1 steel bringing SIP to $1<
 Cotton Statistics Strong
 Statistical position of cotton is a trifle stronger each week. with con tinnous large consumption and ex- portation, together with reduction of visible supply. Worlds visible sup ply now Is 4,465,000 bales, compared with 6,340.000 at this time last year. Disposition to sell holdings at the higher levels is more pronounced. Pay rolls are larger each week and retail trade is increasing. Purchasers are, however. cautious and demand a dollars worth of goods for a dolla r of money.
 Home building has reached record breaking proportions in the country at large.
 Revenue car 4oadings week ending June 10 were S46,000, an increase over the preceding week of 95,0oO cars and an increase over the same week in 1921 of 56,0o0.
 Rates From East
 Mallory steamship line has an nounced eastbound rates under all rail rates via Warrior river barge line. Details have not yet been forth coming. Southbound rates were al lowed several months ago and re- suited in large business from the Atlantic seaboard to Alabama points via the barge line.

Ranks to Carry Through
Construction Program

To help meet demands caused by the
activity in the building trades, courses
in plastering and brieklaying have
been announced by the West Side Y.
N. c. A., 3i6 West Fifty-seventh Street.
Permission was granted FOR under
taking this new venture at a meeting
Of the city board Of directors held this
week According to Z. A. Hungerford,
Of the association, these courses are
not primarily for apprentices, but are
planned TO meet the demands from all
over the country By giving ambitious
men an opportunity for highly prae-
teal and intensive training whereby
they can master the essentials OF
plastering and brieklaying in short
time. They need not be experienced.
The experience Is obtained on the job.
In this way a solution is found for
the present problem Of supplying men
for the gigantic national building era
now in progress.
There Is nothing in this method ths.
is necessarily out Of harmony with
the usual apprentice systems calling
for a two 10 four years program OF
study In plastering and brieklaying
The courses are established as q part
Of the educational program Of the West
Side Y. NJ. G. A. to serve building con-
ditions and needs.
II the students happen TO be honor
ably discharged ex-serviee men Of the
American Army. Navy or Marine Corps,
or who we're with any Of the Allied
armies, and have taken out their first
citizenship papers, they may receive
partial scholarships, but they should
make application before January /, a.
the fund available Is limited in the
plastering and brieklsying courses.
II is the purpose Of the West Side Y.

tion with the labor organizations and
