The modern equipment which ia to
be installed, together with the highly
developed engineering methods tm-
ployed by this company, will insure un-

gen to meet the steadily increasing de-
mand from Birmingham and the south.
The new plant will be- erected on prom

Pig IRON BUYING
CONTINUES LIGHT;
PRICES ARE WEAK
Improved Coke Conditions
Is Industrial Feature
Of Last Week

Buying of pig iron continues light,
with prices somewhat weakened and
tonnage available at $22.50 and $23.
However, yard stock is at the lowest
point in years and the beginning of
the second quarter finds Alabama fur
naces with sufficient business on hand
to insure good operations for the next
80 days.
Improved coke conditions, steady de-
liveries and requests for anticipated
shipments indicate there has been no
apparent decline in the melt on the
part of consumers.
Industrial leaders are enthusiastic
over the promising prospects for the
coming quarter and the impression pre-
walls generally that healthy conditions
will continue.
Furnace Reports
Other industrial happenings of the
last week were as follows:
Furnace reports showed that pig iron
stocks on hand were reduced 1860 tons
during March and that the total on
hand at the close of the month was
6S, 400 tons. Stocks have been stead
lily going down for several months.
