'P|G IRON MAKE. IN JANUARY |S
 5-YEAR PEI AK
Output in Alabama, 232,69O Tons Last Month"; Only 27,000 Tons Below High Mark of All
 Time

The largest production of pig iron in five years and nine months was made by Alabama blast fur naces in January, the output be- ing 232,690 tons. No such produc- tion had been made since Decem- Der, 1917, during the peak of the war demand, when the output was 237, ,227 tons.
 The January production was made by "A stacks operated dur ing the entire month and one which operated part of the month. Owing to the enlargement of Ala bama furnaces from time to time it requires fewer stacks to produce given quantity of iron. The De- cember, 1917, production of 237,- 900 tons, only 5000 tons in excess of the January, 1923, production of 232,690 tons, was made by 32 fur naces, compared with the "A to 25 active in January.
 January records of iron pro- duction in the years named have been as follows:
 1923 .............2 232,690 tons 1922 ............. 121,073 tons 1921 ..... 124,573 tons
 Record Low Production
 The record low production was in July, 1921, when 5nly half dozen stacks were operating and the pro- duction dropped to 66.57S tons. Pro .ductien- ,:re.,se.s 3 ttifle uaRinR sse next few months, but steadily and by turn of the year had gotten to 121,000 tons. Decided improvement began toward the opening of spring and became more pronounced dur ing the latter part of 1922. Decem- Der finally reaching an output of 21S,000 tons. The January produc- ton is an increase of 1S,000 tons over December.
 The peak production of all time was reached in May, 1877. when 32 furnaces produced 260,00O tons of iron. At that time Talladega Wood stock, Trussville. JeniIer and other stacks now idle were producing iron. The Talladega furnace was operated on lease by the Japanese government. Iron was shipped t. Japan in it's own vessels by way of Mobile. When the war closed sev- eral furnaces went out of blast and have remained idle ever since.
 Iron Strong at $25
 The iron market was strong at S25 Friday, with more than one maker turning down firm offers for spot delivery on account of sold up condition. One maker has sold an appreciable tonnage into third quar- ter, the first business that far ahead that has developed. It ;s understood that 10000 tons for that delivery at $25 has been placed.
 Pressure pipe makers are taking on a tonnage that insures capacity production for some time to come The National Cast Iron Pipe com- pany has booked 700 tons for Keno- sha, Wis. The Pasadena. Cal, order booked by the Unit d States Pipe company embraces 2.500 tons. The base Is S45 for 6 to 12 inches and S44 for IA inches sizes and up.
