Large Deposits of Bituminous Asphalt
Have Been Found.
Sheffield, September 18.—(Special.)—The
report was sent out from here a few days
ago that there had been found a fcirge
deposit of bituminous asphalt in this lo
cality. Your correspondent has Just Been
a report on this material made by the
Pittsburg Lestlng Laboratory of Pitts
burg. Pa., which shows a percentage of
bitumen much higher than the average
of rock asphalt, it being 8.60 per cent,
and that from a surface sample. The re
port further says this material can easily
be made equal in every respect to the
Standard mixture now in use for paving
purposes.
This gives Alabama another raw mate
rial that will swell the list of her natural
resources.
The property willl be developed by N. J.

CONTINUES GOOD
At the South Prospects Are
Particularly Bright
COTTON BRINGS HIGH PRICE
Plenty of Money Is In the Interior and
at All Centers for Ordinary Trade
Purposes—The Coal
Situation.
New York, September 19.—Bradstreets
tomorrow will saj'i
Jobbing distribution continues very ac
tive and letaii business is Improving.
Now that the corn crop is praetT&Uly
made, ano the only possible changes are
those of quality, the disposition to book
fall and winter orders is unrestrained at
the west and northwest. At the south the
lone of trade ieports is notably cheerful,
largely ow.ng to high cotton prices, be
cause crop accounts are not so favorable
as a week ago. Collections are on the
whole good, and the consensus of reports
as to this and as to money conditions
point to good supplies of the circulating
medium in the country at large. What
stringency is noted, a condition usual
at this time, is limited largely to the em
ployment of money in speculation. The
cluira is mode that plenty of money is in
the interior, and. Indeed, at all centers
for ordinary trade purposes. .
The selling positions seem to be the
strongest ride cf the price situation, ex
cept possibly in the cereals and agricul
tural products generally. Even here the
rine financial position of farmers enables
them to market their products slowly,
and no accumulation of moment Is record
ed except ir. cattle receipts, which this
week surpassed all records. Notable
strength Is exhibited in manufactured
goods, the textiles leading in volume of
demand and in strength of prices, in keep
ing with advances or firmness in the
raw materials. A large distribution of cot
ton gi. ods ic going on at the west, and
the firmness in the eastern trade is not
able In view of the relatively quieter tone
of demand. Woolen goods are firm ana
the mills are actively employed.
The coal situation deserves notice. The
delay in the ending of the enthracite
coal strike throws increased pressure on
the bitlmlnous product and prices for
that article are now at least one-quarter
higher than the low point before the
strike began. Anthracite production is
slowly but surely increased as more
mines are open ^ and miners go to work,
but the necessities of some retail buy
ers make fancy prices for what is left.
A long season at full time will be nec
essary to restore stocks of anthracite to
old dimensions.
Hides have eased In price, but leather
is as strong as ever, because the shoe
business is good. Lumber continues ac
tive, the strength of prices being nota
ble. There has been a slight easing of
the car famine as to coke and coal sup
plies and the furnace situation in the
valleys Is therefore bettered. Foreign
Iron and steel are repeating the benefit
and the European invasion of iron has
now reached the mlssissippi. British pig
iron for quick delivery is selling freely
In Pittsburg and Chicago. Foreign steel
is being bought for mills in the cehtral
west and large quantities of rails, these
for next year’s delivery are being bought
abroad.
In finished products, export tin plates,
Americans, have about all the business
that they care to accept. Rails, plates
and structural iron are all heavily sold
ahead. The ore trade on the lakes Is as
active as ever, every nerve being strain
ed to handle the business offered. In oth
er materials the features are the re
newed weakness in tin and copper, the
boom in the former metal appearing
short lived. Hardware is notably active
at all markets.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the
week ending September 18 aggregate 5,
435,323 bushels against 5,44*,- - last week.
Corn experts aggregate 40,508 bushels
against 91,512 last week.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending September 18 num
ber 182 as against 197 last week and 158
in this week last year.
In Canada for the week ±6 as against 18
last week.
DUN’S REVIEW.
New York, September 19.—R. G. Dun
& Co.’s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Domestic trade continues active, high
rates for money having thus far failed to
check industrial operations or unsettle
confidence. Stringency is considered only
temporary and is chiefly of importance
to speculators. Large imports of gold
promise relief. Crops are making en
couraging progress, despite some injury
from frost. Labor disputes are few, the
anthracite coal strike being the only one :
That retards progress and each week
shows some Increase In output. Fall dis
tribution of merchandise has begun un
usually early, while the volume of orders
already placed Indicates much the heav
iest aggregate on record. At the south
and west conditions are especially favor
able, shipping departments working vig
orously and payments are promptly
made. Traffic congestion causes com
plaint, yet railway earnings thus far
available for September show a gain of
4.9 per cent over last year returns and
15.7 per cent over 1900.
Official returns of foreign commence
j during August show improvement in ex
| ports over the two preceding months that
was Indicated by the weekly movement
of merchandise and staples and Imports
far surpassed the corresponding month In
preceding years. This liberal buying in
foreign markets testifies the welt sustain
ed domestic consumption, particularly as
to Iron and steel, but imports of coal are
abnormal and will be still more of an
element In subsequent statements. Relief
comes slowly to consumers of coke from
the car famine, although each week
brings a new high record of output. The
worst effect is the Increasing Importation
of pig iron.
Great Britain alone pent 70,000 tons dur
ing August, while arrangements are now
being arranged for remote deliveries.
Steel is also coming In freely, German
producers accepting orders at gradually
advancing quotations. Estimates of the
tonnage on the books of the leading do
mestic concerns fall little short of 5,000,000
tons covering deliveries nine months
ahead, while new contracts for railway
and structural shapes are constantly of
fered. The abnormal condition of this In
dustry bears testimony to the unprece
dented expansion of business In the Unit
ed States, and it is unfortunate that
such heavy purchases abroad are made
necessary by the Inadequate supply of
fuel. Recent advances in tin and copper
were not maintained, supplies proving
fully equal to demands.
New England manufacturers of foot
wear are well occupied, new business
coming forward rapidly. Leather is quiet.
Large receipts of cattle at western mar
kets caused a slight reduction in prices
| of packer hides from the record-breaking
figures that have prevailed. Cotton goods
are more firmly held as the raw material
develops strength, and light stocks in first
hands give the market additional sup
port. Woolens and worsteds are notably

There are thousands of farmers In our
land who are rich in broad acres and
gold, yet lack that true wealth known as
good health.
It is a melancholy fact that men and
women in the country districts, breath
ing the purest air and drinking from
God's bubbling fountains and limpid
springs, are liable to the same diseases
and ailments that come thick and fast to
city people. We find rheumatism, neu
ralgia, debility, dyspepsia, kidney and

as common in the farmer's family as
they are. in city homes.
Paine's Celery Compound, heaven’s best
blessing to the farming community, has
done more for the banishment of dread
disease and the building up of health than
all other combined medicines. Mr. John
j Zuspan, a prominent and well known
[ farmer of Mlddleport, Ohio, writes
specially for the benefit of sufferers in
! the rural districts; he says:
"Last November I was so badly crip
pled up w'ilh rheumatism, which came on
in June, that I could hardly walk with
out the aid of crutches or a heavy sCTck.
About, the tenth of November l com

Details of Sale of the Sheffield
Furnaces
GATES ORGANIZED THE CO.
Purchaser It the Blast Furnace Syn
dicate of Which William Eden
born 18 Chairman—Bought
Property in Virginia.
The Iron Age of this week contains the
following account of the recent sale of
the Tennessee. Coal Iron and Railroad
company's Sheffield furnaces to William
Edenborn and associates and the plans of
the new organization:
The sale of the furnace property at
Sheffield, Ala., and of the Russellville ore
mines of the Sheffield Coal. Iron and
Steel company, owned by the Tennessee
Coal, iron and Railroad company, has
been ratified by the board of directors
of the latter company. The purchasers
are the Blast Furnace syndicate, of which
William Edenborn is chairman. This
company, who have a capital of $2,500,000
of common stock, subscribed by a num
ber of capitalists, among whom are Wil
liam Edenborn of New York, I. L. Ell
wood of Chicago, Alfred Clifford of St.
Louis, James Gayley and W. R. Walker
of New York, Thomas Dolan of Philadel
phia. Charles Allis and William J. Chal
mers of the AUls-Chalmers company of
Chicago, H. Belmer of the Belmer Ma
chine company of Cincinnati, G. H. Tlra
mermar.n of the St. Louis Iron and Ma
chine Works of St. Douls, Herman Slelck
en Crossman & Co.. New York and
others.
Organized by Gates.
This organization has grown out of the
United States Iron company, organized
seme years since by John W. Gates,
Isaac L. Elwood and William Ed* nborn,
to acc;»iire a number of ore properties in
Tennessee. Some time since Mr. Gates
parted with his interests to Mr. Eden
born and is no longer identified with the
concern. The property Includes mines at
West Point, the Smith mines near Law
renceburg, Tenn.. and mines in the Rus
sellville district. The United States Iron
company developed the mines, put up
three washers to handle the brown hem
atite and shipped ore largely to the fur
naces at Sheffield. Ala. The question
arose, in the further development of thu
property, whether It would be expedient
to erect blast furnaces. It was finally de
cided to acquire the three Sheffield fur
naces. One of these has been In con
stant operation for some time. It was
blown out for repairs in August, but has
just been relighted. The blowing power
being ii adequate to operate the other
two, there have just been purchased two
large blowing engines supplanted by the
sellers by more modern and more power
ful engines. These will be erected at
once, and since the lining for the second
slack is on the premises it is probable
that the second stack may be started
without delay.
Virginia Purchase.
The blast furnace syndicate have also
purchased from General Ayres of Big
Stone Gap, Va., the property of the Stone
Gap Colliery company, located In the
Stonega district. This comprises over 6000
acres of coal lands, and also the Wise
Terminal company line of road about six
miles long from Norton, Va., to the mines
near Wise. courthouse. Norton is the
junction point of the Louisville and Nash
ville and the Norfolk and Western rail
roads. so that the company can ship over
the former to Sheffield, or can reach the
markets served by the Norfolk and West
ern railroad. The Stone Gap Colliery com
pany had practically completed the open
ing of the property. There will be built
at once coke ovens to supply the Shef
field plant with fuel from these mines.
The new' company having now acquired
these different elements toward rounding
out their operations will probably be
known as the Sheffield Coal and Iron
company. Th» organization, so far as the
election cf officers Is concerned, has not
yet been perfected.

SAYS FAIR MUST
CLOSEJN SUNDAY
A Regulator Calls on General
Manager MacKnight
NO POOLS WILL BE SOLI
Mr. MacKnight Explains to the Regu
lator That There Will Be No Vio
lation of the Law—Let
ters Received.
A regulator of public morals, and
everything in general, called at the state
fair headquarters yesterday, and. put
ting down his No. 10 foot with a dull,
sickening thud, exclaimed to General
Manager MacKnight:
"We can’t allow your fair to go on if
you are going to advocate pool selling,
and open your show on Sunday. We
are going to oppose this fair association
on account of these things. We don't
like it We are against pool selling and
the breaking of the Sabbath, and we
are going to oppose you with all our
might."
The manager of the state fair was
dazed for a moment, but recovered from
the shock and. replied with great cool
ness and decorum to the regulator: “My
dear sir, you are entirely mistaken. We
are not going to sell pools. We have
not told anybody we were going to sell
pools. We have not asked anybody to
let us sell pools, and we have no wish to
sell pools. We know the law, and we
will maintain It. We have taken steps
to prevent any breach of the law at the
fair grounds during the stata fair this
fall. Order will be maintained there as
well as in any other part of Birming
ham, and nothing will be aone to offend
the eye or the scruples of the most fasti
dious person In Birmingham."
Wanted It Closed.
“But," replied the regulator “you are
going to open the fair on Sunday You
are to have diving horses and diving
elk performing on that day, and we ob
ject to that. We want the fair closed
tight on Sunday."
“Why so?” asked Mr. MacKnight;
‘have you any serious objection to the
thousands of people who are not able
to attend the fair on a week day being
allowed to see the exhibits and to hear
some music, which is elevating to mind
and soul, on a Sunday afternoon? My
own opinion la, Mr. Regulator, that you
have taken a very narrow view of the
matter. You ought to broaden your
horizon a little bit, and taae a wider
view of the affairs of men. Narrowness,
bigotry and fanaticism have done more
to retard the human race than any other
evil agency that has been at work in the
world, 'a he time has come when the peo
ple refuse to be regulated by these
methods. The state fair is calculated to
entertain and enlighten the people. It
will show them what is going on in the
world. It will amuse them, elevate
them, rest them, and prepare them to
continue the tolls of life, which are al
together too arduous as a rule, and not
sufficiently broken up by recreation and
amusement."
The regulator shuffled about a little
restlessly, and said that he had not
come to the fair office to be criticized.
Has Public Confidence.
“No,” said Manager MacKnight, “and
I don't invite you here to criticize the
Fair association. By the methods that
we have employed to establish a per
manent fair in Birmingham, this associa
tion has won the confidence and the sup
port of practically the entire community.
What we are doing is well known to the
public, and nearly everybody except a
few narrow people, who will be likely to
take a biased view of almost anything in
sight, are well aware that the only thing
we have done In respect to horse racing
is to request the law officers of the city
to enable us to have some good horso
racing, strictly within the letter and spirit
cf the law. If you will ask Chief Austin
about It he will tell you that we have
recognized from the first that pool sell
ing was against the law, and that we
have made no suggestion to sell an? pools.
And the reason why we are obliged to
have the fait grounds open on Sunday is
to protect from $50,000 to $00,000 worth of
property, which will be on exhibition
there, and which must be protected e*ery
day in the week and every night in the
week.
“On Sunday the fair grounds will open
at noon in order to enable those people
who cannot come there on week days to
visit and study the beautiful exhibits
which will be made In the various de
partments. A sacred concert will also be
given, but no other exhibitions will be
allowed. All the men holding executive
pcsitions in connection with the fair are
religious mm and church members, and
they are as anxious to have the fair on
a high plane, and to make It conducive
to the moral advancement of the people,
as any '•regulator” can possibly be.
The regulator hardly stopped to listen
to the closing remarks of the general
manager, but he went out muttering to
himself some dire threats In regard to
what would be done by him and his co
adjutors to oppose the Fair association.
Letters Received.
The following letters were received at
headquarters yesterday, the. first from
Pres. Edward Flynn of the United Mine
Workers of America, and the other from
B. L. Greer, vice-president of District 20:
