 dustry For Week

| Smashing of production records at | two plants, one of the heaviest move ments of pig iron in history, and open ing of the new plant of the Bessemer Galvanizing works-only plant of its kind for the southern trade-were ma | jor developments of the past week in the Birmingham district.
 Pig iron prices held steady at S23 l to $24, with little new business being booked. Buyers are holding off. until | the third quarter opens.
 -I Pipe concerns in the district report ed vastly improved conditions. the or l ders placed during the week with the American Cast Iron Pipe company, in cluding 1,200 tons for Milwaukee,, Wis. 261 tons for Quincy, H.; 240 tons for Rome, Ga, and 106 tons for Abilene, Texas. Iron Record Shattered Woodward Iron company produced 5000 tons of pig iron during March, it's officials announced, beating the previous high mark by nearly 1,50O tons. Tie by-product division also broke all records.
 A fifth furnace will be opened by the Woodward company as soon as market conditions justify it.
 According to indications and fore casts by leading industrial men, this will be Alabama's greatest pig iron pro- duction year. Last years production was 2,797, ,190 tons.
 Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company set new production records at its ore mines, coal mines, at the Besse- mer furnace and the Ensley hearths The heavy demand for steel is causing a steady. gearing up of T. c. I. opera tions.
 The Acipco plants of the American Cast Iron Pipe company shut down one day last week in order that scores of employees might go to Atlanta to attend the funeral of John J. Eagan, president of the company. MT. Eagan was one of the most prominent industrial men in the country. In addition he was a philanthropist of widespread reputation. He was one of the first industrial golden rule' principles for his em- ployes.
 Fy~ Coal Market Quiet
 Interest was aroused during the week l by the disclosure that the Louisville and Nashville railroad is in the market for it's 1925 supply of coal. This road also buys for the Atlantic Coast Line. A substantial part of the coal orders will be placed in this district. Gen erally speaking, the coal market is quiet, with prices low.
 Another feature of last week was a lengthy article in the Manufacturers Record by its editor, R. H. Edmonds, predicting that the organization of the Deep Water Coal and Iron Corpora tion by l.. B.. Musgrove and eastern associates would mean great things for the Birmingham district. The article was widely read here.
 At the Chickasaw shops of the T. c. I. corporation plans went ahead for an early start in the manufacture of the hundreds of freight cars recently ordered | by the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads. Sample cars are being constructed for approval of the rail heads, and within short time the big plants. will begin turning out the equipment at full speed.
 x Industrial men generally saw many reasons to increase their optimism by the developments of the past week in | the district.

which was found near Aldridge ov-
or the hills west Of Electric, by

Mr.. WetZel wrote Sheriff McClarty
that about nine years ago an AL

the skull:
