LAWYERS DISCUSS
 O'NEAL SUCCESSOR
Judge Clayton to Make Ap- pointment-Prominent At-
 torneyS Mentioned

There is considerable speculation among members of the Birmingham bar as to the successor of Governor ONeal as referee in bankruptcy.
 Judge Henry D. Clayton of the Middle district federal court has the appointment of Governor O'Neals successor. Judge Clayton is at pres ent out of the state. Under the rule adopted some time ago Judge w. l. Grubb appoints one referee and Judge Clayton the other. Judge E. H.. Dryer was appointed by Judge Grubb and has been handling the bank ruptcy business since the serious iI- ness of his associate.
 Several prominent Birmingham at torneys have been mentioned as the possible successor of Governor 0 Neal among them are: Alex I. Garber, former attorney general )f the state; R. DuPont Thompson, Morris Loveman, Judge c. w Hick man, James A. Mitchell, George Bon durant, and others.
 With Judge Grubb and Judge Clay ton out of the state it is probable that the appointment will be de- laYed for some time.

 which blew in an idle furnace in August. that of the Central Iron and Coal at Holt going in August '. In the east furnaces went out by the dozen, more than 50 blowing out or being banked incident to the rail and mine strikes.
 Several small lots of iron were sold during the week at s27.50 by two makers, but one large maker had not advanced over s25. The latter is the absolute low base. One maker quoted $50 base on lot of iron yesterday.
 On the other hand pressure pipe makers, largest iron consumers, are holding off from the market. At present base of $40 for pipe they cannot see their way to s25 and s27.50 pig iron. If the s25 base sticks for fourth quarter pipe will be again advanced.
 Buying of pipe has eased off on account of the difficulty in effect ing deliveries and some let-up in building operations caused by car shortage.
 District industrial heads express qualification over the beginning of industrial recovery in the east and predict that it will have a tendency to steady markets too much in- clined they say, to run away from safe rnoorings
