BALTIMORE, Dec. 9.—Banker* of tha cotton bait preaent In thta week's laaue of tha Manufacturer*' Record many evidence* of prosperity In their aactlon. Under date of November 28 they were asked for view* on the financial condition ot farmer* and bus iness men, the outlook for trade, the prospect* for lncraaae in manufactur ing interest*, the condition of banking Interests, immigration and the general spirit of the people aa to the upbuild ing of their community. Coming from different states the repliea indicate a degree of comfort and general pros perity unknown in the Bouth in many years. The aituat'on in Alabama ia quite typical. Farmers there are in better financial condition than they have ever been, having made large crops this season, and now selling thrtr cotton at a fair average price. Aa a rule they are getting out of debt and becoming independent financially. It in significant that, in addition to the fair cotton crop they made a large corn crop this year. Ho In Georgia there are reports of full average crops, both of cotton and corn, and of plenty In the way of provisions. In addition to the staple, while in Tennessee corn and hay crops have been good. The over production of rice In l/oulsiana has been counterbalanced by a healthy condition of the lumber market, and In Florida cattle huxlner* with Cuba and the raising of early veget».hW>« nnd fruits have helped the farmers might ily. Improvement In farming condi tions has been accompanied by ad vances In the price of farm lands dur ing the past two year*, from 25 to 50 per cent.. In some part* of Georgia, for Instance, and from 6b to 100 per cent In other parts, and by more than 100 per cent. In Alabama. Mortgages have been cancelled, diversification In crops In becoming more general, farmers of Arkansas now marketing fruit and vegetable crops to the value of from ISO to $ 100 un acre where ten years ago they realised only $lf> to 120, and Fort Hmlth being one of the largest orig inal shipping point* for Irish potntoea In the United Stntes. The mnny sub stantlnl Improvements In the way of new buildings, first-class roads, etc., reflect the spirit of progrena Intensified by prosperity. A study of the reports of fifteen lead Ing railroads in the Houth. Including four whose mileage does not altogether lie In this section of the country, although a very large part of It Is Southern, displays the gratifying fact i that the earnings of these roads Are Increasing as the season advances. All ! the linos referred to have Issued their | statements up to and Including Sep tember and In nenrly every Instance each rompnny shows for that month an Increase of much grenter percentage than Its average for the three months since July 1, when the fiscal year of all • hut one of the lines began. Home of : the gains nro remarkably large, due partly to enlarged business nnd re ceipts and partly to the completion of the Improvements under way last year which were charged to operating ex penses. In calculating the percentages of growth comparison Is made with the corresponding month and period j of last year. A detnlled review of the report ; first of the period of three months and then of the month of September. pr«* sents clearly the rntlo of progress * which railroads In the Bouth are now enjoying, for the reports of the lines here considered are typical, as will he ' seen by the names of the several ; panics.
