THE DEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. OCTOHER 10. 1921. Basis for Kmpire Found in Alabama iUJIU'IiU lil'IIUMIb ninniiiplium District Dentinal To Hfcome Commanding Power in Industrial Life of Amerie&w By HOLLAND. Courtensy DfKsIb speaks with retoKnircl authority a an expert mining engineer when he lay, at he has recently said, that the Hirm iiiKham district of Alabama i the basis lor an empire which i capable of industrial independence. The largest corporation of steel makers in the l'nite States, probably in the world, ha demonstrated it Mith in the future of thi district by the in vestment of many million. Mr. DcKalb says, ".'ollowin.? broail policies of competitive development this Birmingham district will grow a a commanding power in Ameri ran industrial life. It -will give bal ance to the commercial expansion of the nation. It will stimulate the utilization of the unsurpassed but row virgin resources of the south. It will compel great increase in pop ulation and will create a new and very large southern market for man ufactures." This assertion inad by on of th foremost otiguioera and technical eaprri of th t'nlirU Btali-a la all in mora mnKlr.nl In ' view u( th ront. mpl.i' ! vlait of I'realdcnt Harding to i ho tnr mlnihum district. Vet It has all tin accomplished within SO yarn, ona treordlnary featur a.m-iatrd ith th creation of lh lllrniltia-hsm dl.trlrt la to be found In the fart that rnnslder abla part of tha product of Ita tl anil Iron Industrie la markated In north rn manufacturing centar. Andrew Carnegie bail Juat begun tha greali-r de velopment uf tho en-el ami Iron Indus trv In IMltahurah when tht-re began to ba underatamllng of tha fact that In j tha far aoum a slrci ana iron inuuairy might ba (Trilled and developed whlrh In tlma would compare favorably with tha I'ltt.bursn district. Ureas Indertahlng. It la not exactly romnvtltlon wllh tha steel and Iron Industry of the north whlrh tha Birmingham dlatrlct la cur rylng on. For In tha flrat lilac, thla outharn induatry la to a considerable stent In the ownerahlp of the great corporation whoae chief worka are In or near Plttahurgh. The rapture of aome or the nortnern mantels ny the mrming ham Induatry In .rile nf the long hau and exceaalv. freight rate la due tn tho fact that the Ulrmlngham orea have an advantage In quality over the oree whlrh come from the Great Lake re glon. Therefore thla aouthern company haa been ablo to market Ita product In northern Industrial centers at pre mium of S3 per ton over the price churn ed by aome of tha northern Induatrlea for this product. The Birmingham, district cannot be come a very great Industrial center without thereby benefiting the entire counlryi Aa Mr. DeKalu polnta out, It furnlahea a good balance between the northern and aouthern Induatry. He re fers In particular to the selection of George. Crawford aa the leader who made the Industry not only self-sustaining, but so adequately managed that It was able to meet and overcome perloda of depres sion. When Mr. Crawford was called to thla service tie had already gained high reputation aa one of the executives of the United 8tntea Steel corporation. He lenew that mllllona would be required In order to build up a new steel empire for tho parent company. He was well aupported by that company and the reault la that President Harding will discover when he vsllta Birmingham that there la estab lished there one of the finest, aa well aa most widely differentiated, enterprises In tha world. For the induatry produces not only standard commercial plalo and structural ateel but also fabricated preas-ed-steel cara and has built ateel ahlpa of 10,000 tone burden In' the shipyards above Mobile Bay. These ahlpa have been employed In distributing the product of the ateel works in Japan, India and South America. Inspired by Mr. Craw ford'a leadership, the American Steel and Wire company haa established a very large plant there and another la the plant of the American Bridge company. Why It Wns Possible. Pittsburgh became one of the world's chief centers for the manufacture of steel and Iron and the various products thereof because nature had provided that district not only with iron ore, 'but also coal, suitable for coking limestone and other accessories for the manufacture of ateel and Iron. That is also true of the Birmingham district. The two essen tials for iron making are only a' few miles apart on either side of the Birming ham valley. Furthermore the district la favorably eltuated for transportation of ita products both by rail and by water. Mr. DcKalb saya that these natural ad vantagea combined with the cour age of capital have made the Birming ham district one of tho most favorable apota In the world for an Iron rsd steel Industry. The district will continue for many yeara to be a center of very great Industry. The high-grade ores of the lake district may become exhausted and in fact the leaders In the steel and Iron Industry now suspect that the cheap rich orea of the north are becoming exhausted. But It will be hundreds of years before the Iron ore of the Birmingham district will show signs of exhaustion. The history of the development - of American induatry will contain no chap ter of greater interest and even romantic suggestion than tho one which describes the beginning and stupendous growth of a fundamental industry in northern Alabama and Inta district which 50 years ago was almost completely neglected, at least industrially. The Birmingham dis trict cannot maintain an Increase pros perity without thereby stimulating pros perity In all sections of the United Statea. That Is a point which has been brought to the attention of President Harding and If he makes his contemplated visit to Birmingham on the occasicv of the SOth anniversary of the establishment there of thla Industry, he is likely to allude to this fact In the address which he la expected to make. ( New York Cotton. New York, Oct. IS. New selling devel oped In the cotton market today, follow ing an early recovery of substantial pro portions and tn consequence the 'close waa at the day's low, 23 to 48 points under Monday's final prices. The market was so improved technical ly that, under moderate profit taking by aborts and scattered demand from trade interesta. rose In the first hour about 25 to 35 points over last night's close, after a rather heavy opening. Business was not heavy In volume under the first couple of hours, the market apparently having developed Into a waiting affair with the eyes of all traders on new de velopments In the rail strike situation. The market became reactionary In the afternoon and under selling by south western and spot Interests generally, it sagged to about Its opening level In the fourth hour. At one time prices were 10 to 15 points net lower, but some new Wall Btreet buying brought about a small recovery in near months. The market fluctuated Idly at about Monday's final level at the start of the last hour. The market waa generally unsettled In the last half hour and buying power waa at a very low ebb.

Practically all of Monday's decline in the rail way stocks was canceled in today's tecovcry and some of the shares went above last week's final prices. This w pretty plain evidence that ap prehension over the threatened strike was disappearing. The day's news, In fact, mdirttcj unmistak ably that the brotherhood leaders are on the defensive and know it an attitude which i traditionally fatal to a successful labor demon stration. The statement of their case by the chief of the locomotive luotherhood, is equally apologetic and indiscreet, admitting that the strike vs order ed, but because of what hwl occur red, but because of what ,nrrit oc cur, anr) declaring that the strike leaders will be satisfied if the gov ernment takes over the roads. HanS Prewar Malua. The action might r.avt been a highly dangerous potaltiilliy with tha morea.ful inauguration of a strike, for whau-ver la would havt been allowed to hap. pen, Ih ahaolut holding up of trans portation would not, but tha propnaal of that laat recourse, not by the adminis tration a-Hk measure of emergency, but by th. author of th. strike manifesto twfnr they had made tr.eir threat -f. frriive, la extremely tranaparcnt. That th. untune, who usually got whatever they wnt,l in iha wav nf waaea during the period of government operation, would like, to restore that pleasing status, no body doubts. Th signatures which wer attached to laat Saturday s "strike order." are those whlrh were attached to the protest against th new railroad act In Febru ary, 1SS0. and the truculent declaration of August, 1919. that th. brotherhood, "wer. In no mood to brook the return of th. line to their former control." But that Is past history. Today'a news from Washington Indi cated that the administration and the railway labor board ar. expecting to brine th. union leaders back Into touch with th. reslltles. Th. day' advance In railway share and moat t the Indus trials, carried on lighter trading than th. day before. Prices, as a rule, ended at or near the highest. Decline In Wheat. Outald. of the stock exchange the de cline In wheat was the noteworthy event. Contracts for December and May dellv ery sold 4"45o per bushel below Mon day, reaching prlcea 23 cents below those of a month ago, and the lowest quoted on the present crop. In a measure, this striking movement haa tho aame cause as the reaction of cotton from the ac cent price, namely, that circumstances hav. led to the sudden marketing nf both wheat and cotton which had long been withheld from market because of lnUiiuln.nMM or farmers 10 sen m "; n-hia nutnour of first-hand ..mniiea hn largely auperaeaea an oiner Influences, in me casu 01 i. -- .1 ,.nn v.nnd-demana auuaiion mj easllv turn out to pui ine auv"is Ih. farmer's hands. .irhinia rates reacted some what aharply from Monday's violent movements.

There were no buying orders in the pit aud this waa the cause for the slump in wheat to tin liiuvr-et levcla nf the tra&on. Many brokers had the same story, their "deck" filled with selling of- ders and buyng orderi few and far between. Where the selling came from was hard to trace, Eastern houses were believed to be hedging wheat for Canadian account, while pit traders were caught long several times during the day. Resting snots were 4(4jc lower. The buy ing of December corn at 46c was of enormous volume and generally credited to shorts, this future ctosinjf unchanged. May corn was He low er. Oats finished Jiffrclowcr. Rye finished 4 i (? 4 i c lower and barley lc off. Lard closed 5(0 17k lower and ribs 7W2Sc off. Seaboard reported 1.000,000 bushels oi wheat taken tor export and an inquiry for four cargoes more from Italy. Lowest prices of the season were made in wheat about 30 minutes after the market opened. The start was higlir, due to the closing out of trades for a local dealer which he was unable to clear last night. Outald. Markets Weak. Weakness In the. outside markets waa a depreaalng factor. Export demand la alow and Winnipeg told of expurlera fall ing to take hold on the break. Dninr.il,. milling demand waa low. Thi-r were 25.000 buahela of wheat delivered on Oc tober contract today. Local arrival con Untie small, th. eatlmate being 16 rare. Corn opened higher, but reacted with wheat, only to encounter good aupport around the prevlou closing level. Thor. waa heavy buying of both December and May by Individual broker., believed to b. acting fr.- a big orofeaalunal trailer. Tha selling was mainly by locals. Ther. w. a better domestic demand for cash corn. but ercort bids did not permit much profit to the seller. ivocat receipts wer. eati- mated at 300 cars. Lower prlcea wer. established In oats. market being affected by the action nf the leading cereal. Trade consisted malnlv of changing, with a shipping house lead- ng in or buying December against aalea of May at a difference of 4c. Com mission houses were good buyers early and this rallied prices somewhat, but the market weakened again as IncreseVrt nres- sure developed. Local receipts wer. es timated at 125 cara. Rye was relatively firm, cash No. S selling at 0 under December price. sale, or No. 2 wer. made at 86c. Re ceipts wer. throe cars. Pit Note. In analysing th. government report on reserves, B. W. Snow placea total supply July 1, Including crop of 741,000,000 bushels carry-over 64.000.000 and visible and country mill and elevator stocks 35,000,000 bushels. From this total of 820,000,000 bushels, there has been ex ported 136,000,000 bushels. Taking the government flgurea of 318,000,000 reserves larms. Ib2.000.000 bushes In cnuntrv mills and elevators and the commercial visible ef 69.000,000 bushels, there Is an apparent disappearance of 301.000,000 bushels for three months, of which seed and feed requirements will take 100,000.000 nusneis. Deducting 136,000.000 bushels rrom the actual disappearance, leaves 65, 000,000 bushels for consumption during the first quarter of the year. This bal ance of 65.000,000 bushels cannot be recon ciled with any previously accepted rate of domestic consumption. The Canadian visible wheat showed a gain of 2.238,000 bushels for the week. "Even though tho government estimntea 76,000,000 bushels less wheat in tho United States than a year ago. it Is a fact that we have 35,000,000 bushels more ;n com mercial channela than last year," snld Thomson and McKinnon. "It Is the amount shipped to market, not the amount held back, that makes the price. Wo have 63,000,000 bushels In the visible sup ply, for which there Is no immediate do tnand. Outside of the matter of statlstlra the market is laboring under distinctly unfavorable world finances, also under an economlo situation which cannot be called reassuring. The government report on farm reserves was still the subject of more or less ex. cited discussion. The trade is still at sea over the matter, the majorltly of cpinlnn being? that JJie repo-t was more bearish than looked for and that there waa still a fair amount of wheat for export. Nebraska reporta indicated more propa ganda In favor of consuming corn for fuel. Omaha wired that a movement to induco everyone to burn a load of corn waa being Inaugurated. Buenos Aires wheat was c lower and corn alao c down. Flax was 2c off. New York Bonds. Atch. Gen. 4s 78 78 B. & O. Gold 4s 70 70 Beth, Cent. Steel Ref. 5s 83 83 Pac. 1st 4s 75 75 C M. & St. P.

In view of the short time that has elapsed since the issue of this letter, and the very wide distribution of the debentures, this result is con sidered very gratifying and the committee rep resenting the group of institutions prepared to lend $10,000,000 to the corporation has, there fore, authorized an extension of time for de posit up to the close of business on Saturday, October 22d, 1921, by which time it is hoped that a sufficient amount of debentures will be deposited to make the plan operative. Debenture holders who have not yet de posited their bonds are urgently requested to co-operate in making the plan effective by de positing their debentures immediately with either the Bankers Trust Company, New York City; Old Colony Trust Comnany, Boston; or Continental and Commercial Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago, 111.
