is expected that the house will he crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. The MontgOm-
cry AdretiScr Of Friday, in commenting
on Beecher's lecture the preceding night,
says:
His sympathies in the conflict were
naturally with the North, because he was
born in that section. but had he lived
South he would no doubt have been a
Confederate soldier. He alluded to his
antecedents in relation to slavery, and the
ideas he had imbibed by education and
training, and said no doubt all sections
now considered the obliterati0n Of the
institution blessing. He thanked God
that he had the courage to speak his hon
est sentiments. which was one of the
blessings of this free country"

snnihern Lumber Trade.

The Maritime Pe0iSterhas the following
upon this important southern trade:
Transactions in that branch of the lum-
Der trade at the South relating to build
iug materials appear to be conducted on
somewhat primitive basis. Purchases in
this line are often made many months III
advance of the time of delivery, and gen
orally with no other guarantee than the
known responsibility of the buyer THIS
method Of doing business is in fact what
is known as dealing in futures but in
this instance. unlike the practice IN vogue
with future contracts IN other commodl-
ties, no security is given that Is binding
upon either party To the transaction. As
a consequence no little annoyance and
loss have been occasiOned either through
the failure of the manufacturer TO
complete his delivery at the speci-
fed time. or by the buyer who. for
some reason, may see tit to cancel his
order Other causes of dissatisfaction as
wen, such as the failure to furnish the
quality OF material ordered, or the at
tempt to obtain better article than that
contracted for, 90 to show the unrelia-
hility Of the methods employed IN that
trade. 1t is thought. therefore. that these
difficulties may be remedied by the certl-
iicates signed by authorized inspectors.
open sales would also help to establish
prices and do away with great deal OF
the shopping that is now done in that
branch of business. There is no doubt If
these suggestions are adopted that it
would greatly further the development Of
the lumber trade at the South and be more
satisfactory TO both the manufacturer and
those with whom he has dealings
