 SOUTHERN GLEANINGs.
4 Railway Mans Views.

Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern Railway Co.,, who recently made trip through the south, said is an interview on returning to New York:
 Conditions are improving in the south, although the earnings of the Southern railway are a little less this spring than last. This decrease in earnings may be attributed largely, if not entirely. to the fact that the spring business is dependent on the circula- tion of money which comes from the crops. and the low price of cotton and the destruction of fruit and vegetable crops by cold have diminished the relative amount of this money. The fertilizing business is also much smaller more than 60 to 65 per cent. of a normal year.
 sThe south is turning it's attentio more and more to manufacturing and to agricultural products other than cotton. The result is more inde. pendence and less debt for the south ern farmer, and a larger investment of capital at home, as we'll as a greater influx of foreign capital. The great drawback to the southern farmer here tofore has been the almost universal pledging of his cotton crop before the seeds were fairly sprouted. He is lessi in debt than in former years, and, there fore, in better shape to carry on opera tions. The south ought to be and, think, will be the first section of the country to recover from the long de- pression. The fact that the southern farmer raised more corn. bacon and provisions last year than ever before, has placed him this season, notwith- standing the price of cotton. in a bet ter position, financially, than the farmer of any other section of the country. Not only does he owe less money now than heretofore, but he will owe less and less each year under this new policy.
