GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Condition an Reported
for the Past Week.

for the Past Week,
Reports g to industrial conditions in the
south for the past week are favorable. VaTi-
able quotations for cotton, generally keeping
prices well maintained, are bringing in cotton
in considerable Quantities, but the bulk OF the
crop Will be held. as planters arc better Oh t.
uAnoially than any year since me war. Diver
si1ed crops have been exceedingly profitable,
even though pric have been low. The iron
producers are doing large business ct salts
factory rates It IL believed that iron quota
tons will be m 'intained, but not increased,
but large producers are not making con-
tracts ct present rates for future de-
livery. A 20 per cent increase IN
freight rates has no effect on business. Coal
production ia now large and is increasing ~
The season grows colder, and coke market is
very active and prices are firm. The stea "
increase in lumber shipments is an Or coursging
feature Of the situation. Lum6-r prices are
pretty firm and well adhered Ia. Cotton mills
hat were well stocked with I'D cotton have
done well, but new cotton is ran ing too high
in proportion to the ma ket n finished goods.
Southern textile mills however. arc all doing
well, and the mills started during the present
season are. good many Of them, now in ac-
tive operation.

Sequel of the Wreck of the Ship Arabia Of
Bath at Cape Horn.

Capt. McCloon of Dee ring, captain and
part owner of the big 2200-ton ship
Arabia, that was totally wrecked on q
barren island near Cape Horn, last sum-
mer, has recently received from the Unit
ed States government the guarantee that
the government would pay the charges
demanded by the English vessel as com
pensation for bringing the shipwrecked
crew of the Arabia from the barren is
land up to Buenos Ayres. The govern
ment always pays such expenses of ship
wrecked crews, after the facts are fully
su bstantiated
Arrived at Buenos Ayres the United
States consul Of course took charge of
the crew and ent them home by steam
or. If they shaye no money, the govern
ment pays the expenses. Altogether there
were 80 persons rescued from the barren
island by the English bark The cost
of feeding and caring for that number
of people on voyage from Cape Horn to
Buenos Ayres was of course quite bill
of expense.
The Houghton brothers OF Bath, were
the managing owners of the Arabia.
