The growth of the pulp and paper mak ing industry in the United States has heretofore been largely in the New Eng land, Middle and Northwestern states. It is po sible that the next considerable de velopment cf this industry will be in the South, and especially In ihe Appalachian mountain region, where are found two great essentials for cheap pa|> rmak ng— plentiful supplies of pulpmaking woods and numerous and large water powers. Of the forest area of the United States, outside of Alaska, something over one quartir is located in the states of Vhgin ia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi. Tennessee and Kentucky. The varieties of pulp-making woods found in other feet ions of the country grow in th*>*e states. The supply of some varieties of th-’se woods is small, too small, perhaps, to be considered ex cept in connection with the use of other woods. In the forest regions of the moun tain and Pi dmor.t se tion of the South, however, are large supplies of P plar, bal sam, hemlc-ck, and a sufficient quantity of some othtr woods to give abundant pulp-making mateiial for a large number of mills for many years to come. From the land and industrial department of th Sou'h* rn Railway ctmes the following ln forrraiion in regard to the sup.dv of thes • woods in the terr tory mentioned. Poplar grows abundantly in the Appa lachian mountain regions of Virg n a North Carolina, Tennessee, Northern Georgia and other places. Poplar reach* s its best development on the slopes of tin high mountains of Nor h Carolina and Tennessee, and 13 widely distributed. It reaches in this ctlon an avrrige high' of from sixty to one hundred feet, and an average diameter of frem three to four feet. Some of the trees are of remarka ble size. A recent North Carolina publi cation estimated that more than 500,00 000 feet of merchantable yellow poplar Is now standing In the mountains of the western part of that state. This estimate is undoubtedly too low Asheville might be called the center of the poplar region. The poplar areas are found in the neigh borhood of good rivers and streams, fur nishing abundant water power. Proba bly no other section of the United States has such an abundant supply of poplar wood to-day for the soda process and for producing fine papers. The Southern bal sam, which is the Northern spruce, grows in a good area in the mountain regions along the Carolina and Tennessee border, and is abundant enough to furnish o first class supply for o large number of mills. This wood is not at present utilized to any extent in the South, and is to be ha 1 very cheaply. The supply of hemlock through the mountain and Piedmont re gions Is very great. There is more of it in the aggregate probably than both bal sam and poplar. No market has been found for Southern hemlock lumber, and its cheapness of supply should certainly attract the attention of pulp makers look ing for new field® for their industries. In addition to the first growth there arc large quantities of second growth poplar available for pulp-making. Several varieties of gum are found in large quantities in the Southern states* The sweet gum is known to be a good pulp wood. In the mountain regions ad jacent to supplies of poplar, balsam and hemlock, or in connection .with them, basswood is found in fair quantities. It attains n hight of from fifty to eighty feel, and a diameter of from one to four feet. An idea of the supply of pulpmaking wood® in the mountain regions of the South may he had from an estimate on a tract in Western North Carolina, which was re cently made. The tract has on area of about 55,000 acres, and the estimates show about 225,000.000 feet of batsam. 25,000,000 feet white pine. 65.000,000 feet yellow pop lar, 50,000,000 feet chestnut, 350,000.000 feet hemlock, 30.0003100 feet of other woods, in cluding cherry, lynn, buckeye, hickory, birch and locust. These supplies of pulp making woods in the mountain regions of the South are not unavailable on account of distance from railroads and cost of. reaching markets with the paper mill pro duct. The Southern Railway has several lines traversing different sections of these regions, and the wood supplies are tribu tary to different points on these lines, while nearby are- to be found sufficient water powers to run large mills. The fuel supply' of the South is. as a rule, much cheaper than that of the North. and building material ebst less, and with a much smaller cost of woods It ought to be possible to produce pulp and paper, l*)th newspaper and finer grades, cheaper in the South than in the Northern paper making sections. IS AI.\E*\TGLE*S RAILROAD. Propoultion Made tle City by the President of the Company, Gainesville, Ga., July 6.—A citizens’ meeting was held Monday evening for the purpose of hearing the proposition of Mr. J. W. Adams, president of the Dah lonega Consolidated Gold Mining Com pany, concerning the building of an elec tric railway system over the principal streets of Gainesville and from here to Dahlonega. Mr. Adams enumerated the advantages that would result to Gainesville and the country through which the road would pass. He then stated his proposition clearly and forcibly. It was this: If the people of Gainesville would give the road the right-of-way to the river and donate $lO,- 000, to be paid in when the road is completed and the ears running on time, and if the City Council would grant fran chises over the principal streets, work would commence at once and the road would be finished by the end of the year. Several of the leading citizens expressed themselves as favoring the enterprise. About $3,000 was secured. The chairman appointed two commit tees to solicit donations.

REVIEW OF THE MARKETS. CONDITION OF GENE It VI. TRADE Din INO THE I*AST WEEK. Material Advances Shown in Colton, .Sin,nl Storm anil Other Lending; I.lnes —, Cotton Futures Market Agnla (toiiift Skynartl—Condition of the Nnvnl Stores Crop—Local and Telcsraplilc Markets. Morning News Office, July G.—There was considerable activity during the past week In both the local and outside markets, which resulted in gains being scored all around. The cotton market moved up ward in response to the strength shown New York futures, while naval stores also gave evidence of being in strong i>osltion. Substantial gains were shown in the cot ton futures market. The tendency of the cotton market to day was to advance, and the closing was at a net gain of 'J and 25 points. This was due to the strong Liverpool cables, which were received during the early part of the session. Considerable speculation followed the advances, and the day closed with a moderate volume of business te ported. July closed at 10.10 c, and August at 9.72 c. The naval stores market has been well maintained during the week, with the fea tures the advance scored in rosins by ma son of the strength Imparted owing to lighter receipts, and the prospects of a still greater failing off later in the month. Conditions have tended to maintain the price of turpentine also. The weather conditions in the crop belt have been detrimental to the harves ing of the product during the week. Factors are beginning to figure on the drawback to the crop as a result of the many disad vantages the industry has suffered this season, and many are ready to believe the yield this year will be considerably less than was looked for. Asa result of tho large amount of virgin lands opened early in the season it looked like this would is? the star season for naval stores, and that, the output would reach unprecedented -fig ures. Since the floods of the early part of the season, the shortage of labor, end the more recent rains have got in their work, the general opinion Is that the ex pected big yield will be cut down. One large factor stated to-day that he did not think this season's output would exceed that of last year 5 per cent., unless there is a very great change shortly for the bet ter. Indications point to light receipts during the early part of July, as a lesult of unfavorable weather, but with improv ed conditions It is thought probable an in crease will come the latter part of the month. Owing to the fact that much of the re ceipts of turpentine at this market are be ing used in making deliveries the skua.ion Is necessarily without a great deal of in terest. Buyers have come to the front slowly, and were then unwilling to pay the market prices,which left them at such variance with factors as to make business impossible. Factors, declined to accept bids for less than quotations, nnd did trot seem anxious to sell even on this basis. All seemed anxious to make deliveries while the opportunity is good. The wholesale markets were steady and, in the main, unchanged. The following re sume of the different markets will show their tone and quotations at the close to day. and their condition during the week; COTTON. Upwards of 500 baits of cotton were re ported sold in the local market during the past week. There was some revival of business, which gave courage to those who hayo watched things move along in differently for some time past. The in terest of the trade was, of course, greatly attracled to the futures market, which showed considerable strength following the recent reaction. The local receipts were in fair volume.

COTTON FI TCHES. The Market Advances Sharply on Strong Liverpool New*. New York, July 6.-Strong Liverpool ca bles dominated the local cotton market to-day and inspired considerable bull speculation in the forenoon. The bearish effect of fine weather reports, sensational political news from China and a better tenor of crop testimony, was for the time being small in comparison with the influ ence of a pronounced advance in both spot and future cotton abroad, especially ns news of the latter was supplemented by generous buying orders from Liver pool. Our market started firm in tone at an advance of I®6 points and scored a net rise of 10®17 points before a reac tion set in. On the bulge room shorts and the foreign representation in general wa re conspicuous as buyers; the South and the more courageous bears her sup plied the cotton needed to satisfy the former demand. Private advances ascrib ed ihe firmness in Liverpool to covering. In the early afternoon our market was less firm and prices went off from tire top several points under exceptionally line 'weather reports and predictions from the entire belt. Short selling became quite active on the theory that Liverpool w-ould respond to the fine weather accounts to morrow. The market later turned strong on European purchases, which carried July to 10.10 c andAugust to 9.72 c, The close was steady, with prices 9<g25 points higher net.

New York. July G.—Hubbard Bros. A Cos. says: Continental buying in Liver pool yesterday and to-day caused the im provemen* there which brought many buying orders here. Crop prospects have improved during the week, and an ex pected good Chronicle report caused the reaction from the best prices of the day. The South has been selling during the morning. We estimate the purchases at over 10,000 bales. Many Liverpool houses are looking for a sharp reaction from the advance of the past week, though there is no change in the strength of the statistical position. Local traders are in clined to be bearish on the rains in Texas. New York, July 6.—Murphy & Cos. say: The advance in Liverpool this morning was attributed to large buy it. g for Egypiion account. The advances were better than looked for, and caused the higher opening here. Liver pool was a free buyer here of ail positions. The near months are ruling firm, owing to the indisposition to sell. The weekly figures show a loss of 50,000 bales in the stock and afloat for Liverpool. Trading has been quite active, but the South has been the principal seller. The weather is generally favorable. The bureau re port will be issued on the 10th inst. It will probably be quite unfavorable, as it is made up to the Ist, but weather since has improved materially. We look for a feverish market, with depressed tendency. WEEKLY <'OTTOY REPORTS. Comparative cotton statement for the week ending July 6, 1900, and July 7, 1899: 99-00. 98-99. Net receipts at all U.

Demand Again Springs (p for Sup plies in l*ortn Rico, Porto Rican buyers are again showing interest in the rice market. Transactions have been restricted on account of limit ed supply, but part of the Inquiry was evi dently for the purpose of confirming values on previous purchases. Request for low grades also continues from primal points. While the demand therefrom has slacken ed, it is sufficiently sizable to make "a second string to the bow.” Reports from trade centers note light stoilks and con firmatory evidence is found in orders com ing In mainly by wire and Imperative as to shipment; this also Is encouraging to holders, In that V gives promise of suc ceeding and steady patronage. Advices from the South note wholesome activity along the Atlantic coast, nearly double the corresponding week of last year and .over six limes same week in previous years. Factors generally are disposed to sell, but some are again holding aloof on expectation of higher price* as the month progresses, in Louisiana, the demand for cleaned rice is far ahead of the supply and tydders ore going out of stock nt full fig ures. Advices regarding Ihe growing crop are, on the whole, favorable. Some locali ties have suffered from excessive rainfall and replanting has been done by the more sanguine, who anticipate a good harvest even If late. Cables and correspondence from abroad confirm an accent the conditions of the famine In India, which Is now one of the largest factors in the movement of rice. Talmage, New Orleans, telegraphs Louisiana crop .movement to dote: Re ceipts, rough, 920,750 sacks; last year, 717,- 216 sacks. Sales cleaned (est). 246,360 bar rels; last year, 177,971 barrels.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE-In holding Its own the turpentine market showed con siderable strength te-day The opening was at 43 cent* bid. with few factors In c'.ioed to do business on this basis. The closing was firm at 43V cents, with sales of SS7 casks. Throughout the week values were well maintained, and the indications do not point to any immediate break.-,. It is thought the receipts for the first part of July will be small, but the belief is there will be a decided improvement later in the month. The receipts of turpentine during the week were 9,301, against 9,561 last year, and the exports 9,017, against 11.1C5 last year. The exports were, to New Tork, I, to the Interior. 98; to Rotterdam, 2,421; to London. 2,567; to Liverpool. 2,675.

July 6.-The professional rm orators in stocks who have been ah|Te manipulate prices for an advance owlnt to the small amount of floating stock the market, found their efforts to main tain the higher level unavailing to-dav I There was nothing in the news of the day that exerted any marked influence on the market and tho relapse must be attributed to ihe natural reactions attending profit, taking on an advance, and the renewed . selling for short account attracted bv the : hlghef level of prices and the palpably shaky condition of the market as the day progressed. The lower prio<% for Americans in l n . don had little effect as on previous days and the professional bulls resumed the tactics which were so successful yester day in lifting the level of prices. But it became manifest early in the day that yesterday’s sustaining influence in fh<* strength of New Jersey Central and its allied .stocks was lacking to-day. Never theless considerably higher level of price* was obtained in the grangers, Baltimore nnd Ohio and Missouri Pacific. Sugar, the local tractions and People’s Gas were alw strong. The steel stocks suffered from reallzim on the published report that the stef>l In terests wore conferring to maintain prices. The London selling was persisted in later than usual and had an effect in combination with the break in the stral j stocks. The later efforts of the hears cen | tered on Louisville and Nashville, which I after rising \ 4 , was driven down 2%. In January tho directors declared a 2 p*r I ceni. dividend on this stock for the semi | annual period, which was cabled 14 pa r : cent, regular and Vfe per cent, extra." The | price of the stock was afterwards rushed up on the assertion that the coming semi annual disbursement would be 2V2 per cent. Now tho traders are selling the st<vk on the surmise that at Monday’s dividend meeting there will be declared I*4 per cent, and \<2 per c*ent. extra as was done in Jan uary. Other stocks which have been prom inently mentioned for dividend prospect* i were most sharply effected in sympathy. | The whole market fell below last night* j level and closed heavy at about the low est. To-morrow’s bank statement Is expected to show' a gain in cash of upwards 0! $3,000,000. This makes the Immediate fu ture in the money market clear. The bond market to-day was dull out side of sales of Reading general 4s. and the market was irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,020,000. United States bonds were unchanged In bid quotations.
