Chattanooga, Dec. 8.—Reports to the
radesman from all parts of the South
for the past week show a quiet condition
generally in industries. Lumber reports
show a steady improvement, the demand
for pine and cypress Is growing, but ex
ports are less than on average. The pro
duction of iron In the South is slowly
increasing and sales are larger; stocks
are small, but prices are no better. The
ardware business is quieter than for sev
eral months. Coal continues in steady
demand, with an Increasing output. Near-
ly all the mines in Tennessee and Ala
bama are working full time. New cot
ton mills are continuing to spring up in
the South. A 20,000-apindl© mill was or
ganized this week by the Clifton Manu
facturing Company at Clifton. S. C. Two
large eotlon mills at New Orleans have
decided to go into finer goods. The Min-
eola Lumber Company, with $100,000 capi
tal, was organized at Mlneola, Ga.; the
Shreveport Fertilizer Company, with $30,-
OOu capital, at Shreveport, La.; the Padu
cah Electric Company, with $40,000 capi
tal, at Paducah, Ky., this week: The
Standard Lumber Company of Goldsboro
decided this week to put $10,000 into furni
ture and veneer factory. Advices to the
Tradesman indicate quite valuable dis
coveries this week of barytes for com
mercial use in Al&banm and Georgia.

In alttomptlnig to bulldoze the house
the senate committee realized that it
had struck a «g song, and t did not
take them very long to decide Hiat the
best tilling to do was to take tho hack

determined to retaliate for the com-

that President Vemible of the senate
and Senator McGregor, - tho Populist
leader, had entered .uto an'agreement
to defoait the reg snu.Uou bill and to
