THE Mobile Single Exchange is thoroughly
| stirred up because of the recent advance made
by the Louisville and Nashville and the Mobile
| and Ohio roads upon cypress shingle shipments
| from Mobile to points outside the State. This
advance amounts to 40c. per 1000 over the old
rate and, if enforced, will deprive the mi Is of
markets outside of the State. The home and
State demand, which would remain will hardly
be enough to keep one mill busy. In view of
this the price of cypress logs collapsed suddenly
from 16 to 1616c. to Sl3c The mill men are,
however, investigating the feasibility of barging
the shingles to New Orleans, where there are
five competing Lines of railroad.

stop indiscriminate Immigration. We do not
object to decent foreigners coming here, but we
have had enough of the scum of Europe and
their disease-iniected ships. The last two out
breaks of small poX in Baltimore are traceable
to New York carelessness in allowing pasSen-
gers from foreign ports to land and scatter over
the country before the danger of contagon
from affected passengers was passed
