BIRMINGHAM MAY GET
BIG NEW WAREHOUSE
Eastern Capitalists Look Over
Ground And Are Pleased

Announcement was made in Cham
Der of Commerce circles Monday that
Birmingham probably will have a
new warehouse enterprise calling for
the expenditure Of about s2.500.O00
in the construction of building
which, it is reported, will be 200 by
600 feet. eight or twelve stories in
height.
1t is said that representatives of
eastern capital have been in Birming-
ham looking over the ground and
consulting with officials and MEM
bers of the Chamber Of Commerce
and that they returned home well
pleased with conditions and the
practicability of such an enterprise.
While no definite plans have been
given out it is reported that plans
will be formulated at once for the
raising of the necessary capital in
the east and that the warehouse will
be built.
According to reports the promoters
have in mind a large storage ware
house for the storing and regulation
of farm and other products on the
market Birmingham is selected as
the logical place for such an institu-
ton because of its location in a large
producing territory and also on ac-
count of favorable transportation
facilities.

of his captors and fired several
times, making his escape.

PIG IRON PRODUCTION
IS NOW RUNNING MORE
THAN 5000, 900 TONS
Largest Prior Record Was in
1917 With 2,953,00O
Tons

Alabama pig iron production is
now running at the rate of more
than 100000 tons per annum.
The largest prior record was in
1917 with 2,953,0oo tons.
March iron production was 254, 237
tons. 1t was made by Is stacks &C
tive all the month, one active one
half of the month and one in blast
three days. The production in March.
1917, with 81 active stacks, was
25S,000 tons. The two monthly rec
ord productions were made in May
and October, 1917. the productions
being 260,069 and 260,469 tons re-
spectively, with 80 active stacks.
The marked feature of present
furnaces making it. Ensley No. 1,
for instance, is now making 500 tons
a day compared with 900 tons in
1917.
January production was 1896
tons and February production was
$4,000 tons. With 81 active stacks
all this month, two more than in
March. production should run at
rate of more than 100000 tons and
produce new all-time high records.
The Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron
company expects to add sixth
stack during the month, giving that
much further assurance of new all
time high record.
All makers are still charging s27
above that base. The market re-
mains little quieter following four
months of steady buying, but lots of
1000 and 1000 tons are sold daily.

How the firemen could attend TO
their business was seemingly inn
possible for they faced an explosion
laden furnace, and back of them
were teeming hundreds. possibly
thousands of spectacle worshippers
drawn to the flames like moths.

clouds of smoke so yellow they al

workers got the fire under control.
slowly the crowds began to melt as
people remembered their personal
