SOUTHERN SECURITIES BETTER.

SOUTHERN SECURITIES BETTER.
There was a gradual improvement in the Southern
list, under large purchases induced by the recent
decline. The Alabama and Chattanooga default has
taught lesson which Will not be without ts benefit
TO the Southern States and to Wall street. We are
likely to see for the future q more conservative
policy IN granting state aid to railroads. If the
reckless system which has prevailed for some years
back is abolished the public will be grateful The
sensitive PRIDE OF Alabama will doubtless take
refuge in some safeguard such as that adopted by
South Carolina. where an article has been inserted
IN the State constitution which places 1t beyond the
power OF the Legislature to lend the States credit TO
railways. The Improvement Of the Southern list did
not extend to the Tennessees, which continued
heavy, owing TO notice read by the Vice President
OF the Board, Mr.. Wheeock to the effect that the
State authorities had declared their intention OF
not redeeming certain issues which had been i'm
properly placed on the market. Reference was had
