At last the crisis of his disorder was

that if the anodyne would result in q

recovery would be but question OF

their usual places at the bedside and
watched the result with intense sOllcl-

most vanished, when the soft hand of

Why Immigrants Shun the South.

The st. Louis Republican thus defines
the two chief causes for the lack OF i'm
migration to the South:
"First, the existence of the largo
negro population in the South second,
widespread Misrepresentation and false
information as to the social and political
condition of that section" ,
A large negro population in Texas and
Arkansas does not deter white imml-
grants from settling everywhere IN those
States. "False information about social
and political conditions !" may have had
something to do with preventing. immi-
grafton, but the chief cause for the I'm, !.
migrants stunning the South is lack OF
Information concerning the facilities Tor
obtaining cheap land. Cheap land Is the
great attraction in the West. Cheap
land takes the immigrant to Arkansas
and Texas. And cheap land will ietch
him to Tennessee and other Southern
States when he can have the assurance
that he can get ii in those States. -~l'icm'

moisture than they got this year, while
the latter want only plenty of heat. This
is shown by the fact that plum and ap-
pie leaves, when the fruit is ripe, are
juicy, while pear and grape leaves are
brittle, showing that they have given up
their moisture to feed the fruit. In New
Jersey, North Carolina and few lsnrts

WHEN n cashier who has stolen s.

The IRON AND STEEL TRADE OUTLOOK.

The problem ofhow to meet the III
cressing demand for the product Of iron
and steel industries, without recourse To-
forei0n sources of supply, is becoming
more and more difficult. The present
and prospective requirements Tor pubic
works are producing demand when
will absorb the production OF all the
mills, furnaces and mines for months 10
come. The partial cessation of demand
i'm the United States during the winter,
coupled with the accompanying eXpan-
sion of facilities in perhaps POO pudding
furnaces, the addition of bar, plate and
other rolls, all of which will have thel
rroduct in market on the opening
sprjng, leads to the belief among manu-
f5cturt rs that the industrial ascendancy
secured at least temporarily may be re-
tanned, even in case a decline i'll CONT
mental activity should create surplus
of stock in British markets. The
American trade is seeking TO
adapt itself to all possible emergencies.
The rumors of possible higher prices for
all kinds of finished and construction
iron abroad in January have induced
large consumers to attempt 10 anticipate
their wants; hence we hear of an I'M
usual number of inquiries at all leading
iron markets. Manufacturers, however,
while showing much more willingness
to accommodate buyers than month
ago, do not feel it Safe to make any
speculative efforts, even on the part of
actual consumers, for these reasons; they
do not admit the certainty of an adj
vance, plausible rs it appears, and fur
mace contracts so far ahead cannot be
placed. Again, to place contracts for
that demand would create an artificial
advance in crude iron, and mill capacity
can meet all legitimate wants.
