With Present Car Service, Bare Alabama Furnace Yards Are Seen by March l,
 Breaking All PrevionS Marks in the History of Operations
SPECULATIVE FEATURE OF TRADE IS ABANDONED
Contrast of Present. Day Ton- mage With Figures of Earlier Years Shows Wide Variance in Amounts Carried-Prac- tice of Hedging Stopped

If car service continues as at present, Alabama furnace yards will be bare of stocks March l. The 53,0o0 tons in yards February is next to record low and mak- CTS agree that if the cars are fur nished another low stock record will be made.
 Total tonnage of stocks on hand on the dates named were as fol- lows:
 February 1............. 53,oo0 January 1 ............. 74,e00 December 1 ........... 76,600 November 1............ 102,000 October 1.............. 111,000
 Iron operators do not pile pig iron as they were wont to do years ago. The old custom of making iron and then pledging it on var rant yards. in order to borrow money on it seems to have ceased. At this time there is not ton of warrant on yards. The specula- tive featur of the iron trade, once in vogue, appears to have been stricken out absolutely.
 Iron these days is sold only to meltersand not to iron traders. Prior Stock Records.
 Stocks on Alabama furnace yards in prior years indicated how it was produced whether presently desired or not, and how far ahead the makers anticipated markets. Tonnage on hand at Alabama furnaces on the dates named were as follows:
 October l. 1915
 Foundry, 1S4,245; warrants. s447s3 machine cat. 1,os3; basic, 24.5s4, total, 244,365 tons.
 February 1 1916:
 Foundry, 113,000; warrants, 97,o0o, basia 3s,OoO; machine cast, 5000; total, 256,00O tons.
 February 1 1917:
 Foundry, 10000; warrants, 77.oo0; basic, 41,ooo; total. 2ss,o0o tons.
 March l, 1918:
 14OrVuus Ot0UVs basic, 72,0o0: machine cast, 3a,00o; total. 225,oOo tons.
 Largest accumulations in the past three years were in February, 1922, when stocks were as follows:
 Foundry, S2,214; machine cast. 46.- SEA; warrants. 500; basic, 27,ss7; total. 167.675 tons.
 Furnace yard stocks February 1. 1928, were:
 Foundry, 41.0o0; machine cast. 2,000; basic, 10000; total. 53,o0o tons, which is more than three times less than stocks on yards one year ago.
 O o o
 Modern Policy
 Perusal of the figures points to the modern policy of iron makers in making iron when iron is marketable and not making it when it is not in present demand. Following out this policy production went as low as e6,- 000 tons in July, 1921, when the mar ket reached bottom just before be- ginning its slow turn in the other direction. The production of 66, 900 tons in that month compares with 232.000 tons in January. this year.
 Makers point to absence of warrant iron and the smaller stocks piled up during buying lulls as another evil dence of the superior stability of the iron trade brought about in the past few years.
