CHEAP RATES
To Porto Rico and Other Points in the
 West Indies.

Announcement was made a few days ago in these columns that the West In- dian Excursion company, of Atlanta, Ga., would conduct an excursion about Novem Der 10 to Porto Rico and other points in the West Indies. The parties who have charge of this excursion are among the best and most careful business men of Att lanta. The fact that they have chartered a splendid sea-going vessel with the ca pacity to carry about $50 first-class pa sengers, and have arranged every conven- fence and comfort for them, shows that they have been moving in the right direc- ton.
 It is said that the round trip, including all the expenses of whatever character, to Porto Rico will be very low. Many appli- cation have already been filed at the Att lanta office, and, of course, the first $50 people will be the ones who will get the tickets, as only that number can be ac- commodated.

TWO YOUNG WOMEN
Touring the United States in Special
 Gar Costing $500 per Day.

From the Denver Post.
 Three hundred dollors day is what 1t is costing two young ladies who are doing the United States. In this grand total are included porters, maids, a luxurious private car, a well-stocked refrigerator and pantry and carriages at whatever spot the two young ladies wish to stop.
 Many expensive pleasure parties have passed through the Denver union depot, but none more so than that of special Fitchburg car 200, which was coupled to Rio Grande passenger train No. 1 for the West yesterday morning.
 The car was scrubbed at o'clock and shone like a handsome coach of plate glass, nickle and brass equipments, fresh from the shops. At o'clock florist up town sent down three large boxes and a minute after a porter began loading the ice boxes under the special with fruit bottled goods and sundry other edibles and drinkables. Breakfast had been prepared by a hotel.
 The special car was different from most specials. Muslin curtains as immaculate as the driven snow were at the windows. Palms sprung up from Japanese jardinieres on each side of the door leading into the reception, or observation room. A book case held complete assortment of books on the United States and especially on the west Rugs covered the leather divans, and gorgeous pillows were scattered artis- tically about.
 The two young ladies were Miss Dollie Richards and Mss Katie Roberts, of Eng land. Miss Richards Is the daughter of C. w. Richards, general manager of the Dominion steamship line, running steamers between Liverpool and Boston. Miss Roberts is his niece.
 Both are handsome, stylish and vastly interested in everything they see Both have unlimited credit and appetite for sightseeing. Their wants are gratified in a regal manner. and they are personally attended by two porters, two maids two cooks and a waiter The car is the private car of F.. D. Goldman. president of the Fitchburg system, and they are escorted by Charles A. Nemmoe, western passenger agent of that line.

JEKUsALEM A RAILROAD JUNCTION

From the Fortnightly Review.
 Within three years man will be able to get into the train at Ostend and travel straight through to Port Arthur. In five years person will be able to travel in a railway carriage from the Cape to Alex andria. There is yet a third great world line from Constantinople via Palestine, Per sia, India and Durham to Hong Kong. The importance of these three great lines of communication cannot be sufficiently dwelt upon; it can certainly not be exaggerated. With the Siberian railway we have nothing to do now; with regard to the other two this is to be noted-they both of them meet in Palestine. Palestine is the great center, the meeting of the roads. Whoever holds Palestine commands the great lines of communication, not only by land, but also by sea.

NATIVE SOLDIERS TEASING DERv1sHEs.

for long period, and that for few years sudden the matter was brought up by someone, and as result of it litigation ensued, and after vigorous legal fight the railroads were compelled to pay taxes.
 It occurred to me that, inasmuch as your paper is so thoroughly allied not only to the cause of the whole south, but the individual states, and is watching every thing so closely. you might have some in- formation on this, and, if not, that you might have at your disposal some means of ascertaining this, and if that is fact it might be well to let people know it.
 As mentioned to you. am quite confident that if the question of ten years free taxa tion had not. come up, I would have suc- ceeded ere this in locating in Georgia one Of the largest mills in the east.
 This extract from his letter was sent to MT. J. J. Willett of Anniston, Ala. one of the foremost attorneys of that state, and to Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, with a note from the editor of the Manufacturers Record as follows:
 An important question has been raised in regard to exemption from taxat on in Geor- the sense of asking you to give 1t to me as counsel, but in the interest of the state I shall be very glad if you can give me a letter covering the points raised. The let ter to which I refer, received today, is from gentleman interested in locating in the south one of the most extensive cotton mills in New England. It is a matter of very great importance to the whole south
 MT. Willett investigated the matter care fully, and has written the following very complete and interesting reply:

HELEN GOULD

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Helen Gould is plainly the kind of woman this country produced in It's sturdier and simpler days. Her modest disclaimer of special credit for her wartime generosity to the government, because "an American woman should stand ready to serve her country to the extent of her ability" is ad- mirably patriotic in it's earnest simplicity.

BRADsrREEr's REVIEW

New York, October 21.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Active demand for wheat, wheat four and indeed, nearly all our cereal products, and the business reported on this account dur ing the past ten days, seems worthy of rank with the best recorded in any corre- spending period. While strengthened crops abroad and less satisfactory crops from old countries notably, Russia, Australia and Argentina, have furnished plausible basis for much of the recent activity, an addi- tional stimulating feature was injected into the situation this week by more warlike appearance of the Franco-British situation and the closing days indeed witnessed war rumors in practical command of the mar ket, inducing much short covering by stead- fast bears. Should the figures of current exports prove disappointing, in view of the heavy engagements reported, 1t might be remarked that much of this demand is nec- essarily what might be termed forward business, and indeed stocks in this country in spite of deliveries of farmers could hard ly allow of prompt shipment, even If the ocean freight situation was not a strained one. Quotations for freight room have in fact operated as determent feature on this export business.
 General distributive trade appears to havs suffered from bad weather conditions this week, which have interfered with resular business and deliveries, but, on the other hand, has induced considerable buying of shoes, rubber g. nds and heavy clothing at many markets. The situation at the south is reported more favorable than for some time past, this resulting mainly from the aorogation of many senseess quarantine regulations as a result of the advance of the frost line southward toward the gulf. Changes In Cotton
 Soma important changes in cotton goods appea1 to be impending. In wool and wooien\gQods, too, signs of improvement are trif1e more numerous.
 The foreign trade situation is about as described last week except that the large decreases in a few leading exports have been partly made up by increased shin ments of American manufacturers and the nine months figures point to complete calendar years business in advance of all predecessors in volume of export trade. Our import trade begins to show slight increases over corresponding periods year ago and the substitution of dutiable for non-dutiable goods in thos movement points to an easier position in the customs sit- uation. Prices are quite strong notable in this respect being the cereals, lard, pork cotton, print cloths and raw sugar. Little change Is noted in the iron and steel mar ket, which for some time past continues quiet as regards new business, though the mills and foundries are still actively em- ployed.
 The general industrial situation continues favorable, employment being quite general.

 First. The New York lawyer who stated to you that Alabama had no constitutional provision authorizing cotton factories to be exempt from taxation, and that such ex- emptions were invalid, is mistaken in his views of the lew.

The rule of uniformity requires an apportionment among all the subjects of taxation within the district. but 1t does not require that everything which the legisa- ture might make taxable shall be made so in fact. Many exemptions are usually made from taxation from reasons the cogenoy of which Is at once apparent" Thers Is nothing fin the constitution of Ala bama which contravenes this rule; but, on the contrary, it has been recognized for 8 great many years in the state, both by the

The Cotton Industry

While cotton spinners are said to have agreed upon a selling agency and cur tailment of production, there Is better demand for staple goods and prospects of a better demand in future. In wooden goods also there has been marked improve ment during the past week and better sales. This is reflected in the larger transactions in the woplen markets, sales having amounted to 4,656,400 for the past week, of which 2,714,400 were domestic making.
 With few orders yet for the next sea- son the manufacturers are altogether en- couraged by the increase and have reason to believe that the expected demand has set in. But there is yet the fact that the current demand is largely for low priced goods.
 There is much hesitation in the rod and steel trade, partly because the outcome of various combinations in Bessemer pig steel rails, bar wire nails and the like cannot yet be definitely anticipated. If general buying was expected from this movement t has not yet appeared. Prices of domes- tic products have not declined, and al- though the tone is somewhat weaker for bars and plates, quotations are in part sus- tained by considerable orders for export
 Failures for the week have been 221 in the United States, against 224 last year, and A in Canada, against S6 last year.

A MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR
The OutgO of Wheat StasSerS All PrOph-

HESITATION IN THE IRON TRADE
Because of the Various Combinations in Bessemer Pig, Steel Rails and Wire Nails-Prices Have Not Declin-
 ed-Failures for the Week.

New York, October H.-R. G. Dun & Go. s weekly review of trade will say tomorrow: with growing foreign demand for American products exchange is influenced mainly by political uncertainties abroad. While Eu- rope waits for the outcome between England and France about the Upper Nile, the dnan- cers of all European countries are trying to force upon each other the burden of pro- viding cash for the enormous demands of the United States. England has so far managed to make France and Germany send most of the gold and the resulting war of exchange between foreign nations checks for the moment the movement of gold this way. Yet these and all other causes do not so far hinder business as to prevent an excess over the most prosperous of previous years. The exchanges through all clearing houses for the past week have been per cent. larger than last year and 1.9 per cent larger than in 1892. but outs de of New York for the week transactions were smaller than in 1892.
 The outgo of wheat staggers all prophets of disasters, but while the price has ad vanced cents at the west, the rise would have been much greater but for the feeling that the enormous foreign demand may not last. Exports, flour included, have been for the past week 4,293,0 GOO bushels at all Atlantic and Pacific ports against 4972- 900 last year. making for the three weeks 1l9S4, ,500 bushels against 14,227, 400 last year. Without doubt many western farmers are still holding back their wheat and yet the receipts at the chief western ports have been in three weeks S0,592,4 494 bushels against 23, 1901 last year. It is signifi- caut that this heavy demand cont nues af- ter foreign crops officially reported as fairly large, which. have been almost everywhere harvested. The corn exports continue large. 5,345, Al last week against 7,002,O ,O9O three weeks ago and although it is the bot tom point of the year for corn prices have risen nearly 1A cents during the week.
