EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Jackson,
Miss, Dec. 26.-Editor Manufacturers
Record: 1t gives me pleasure to COM
ply with your request for brief ac-
count OF the resources and industrial
outlook Of Mississippi. My only en-
barrassment is in having to compress
within so small space statement
which should command volume.
Mississippi is an agricultural State,
without mineral resources, and as vet
very few manufacturing industries.
The wealth of our splendid common
wealth is in her soil, climate, forests
and citizenship. In variety and fertil-
ity of soil, in her healthful and genial
seasons, in the marvellous products of
her pine, oak and cypress forests, and
the lofty character and hospitality Of
her citizens, Mississippi has scarcely
an equal in our great sisterhood of
States.
There are four grand divisions of
Mississippi distinctly marked by differ
ences in soil and forest-the Yazoo-
Mississippi delta, the northeast prai-
rie region, the central hill section and
the gulf coast, including the vast pine
lands Of the State. The alluvial land
OF the far-famed delta. aptly charac-
terized by the eloquent Prentiss, ''the
cornucopia of the world" is the ideal
cotton region of the planet. With in
different culture it easily yields bale
to the acre, and because Of its strength
Of fiber and length Of staple commands
q premium in the markets of the
world. A report of the United States
department of agriculture thus COM
pares the annual crop values OF i'm
proved lands in Mississippi and other
States:

English Government.
New York, Oct. "A dispatch to

worthy sourc" that the answer which
the Indian government has forward
ed to the British cabinet, declining
to reopen its mints under an agree
mcnt with France and the United
States, is causing considerable diff
Guilty in English government circles.
A majority OF the cabinet is disin-
clined to override the opinion of its
Indian advisers on q question which
principally affects India, but several
members Of the cabinet feel that the
government is too far committed to
withdraw. At the present moment
it is impossible to foreteu the out
come Of the differences OF opinion.
but the resignation OF all the ini(l-
ental cabinet ministers is not inn
probable. Meanwhile it is interest
ing to know that the refusal OF India
is based on her obligation to the ratio
Of 155 to |. Indian statesmen fore
see the greatest difficulties arising
out of a sudden gap in the price OF
silver to 1G to I, which it is feared
would rcvolutonizc the commercial
relations and lead to the ruin OF
many merchants engaged in trade
with Asia. On basis more nearly
corresponding with the present price
of silver, for instance on the basis Of
Isl per rupee, that is to say, 42d pei
ounce for silver as the standard
India would Immediately open he
mints. Perhaps the English cabinc
will try to negotiate on such lines be

colts proposals..
