SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
The New Industries Reported in the
South in Week.

At southern trade centers, business,
hs reported by The Tradesman's many
correspondents shows healthy In
crease, with indications favorable for
still greater improvement when the
spring season opens.
While this is the waiting season."
the demand for iron continues good
and the furnaces are we'll stocked with
orders. While the consumption of pig
iron is gaining, the production at pres
ent somewhat exceeds the demand,
though not enough to cause prices to
decline. The demand for finished
products and car material is especially
heavy.
The southern lumber market is firm,
the mills are all busy and prices are
advancing. An encouraging feature
of the trade is the increased demand
for common grades of lumber, for
which there has heretofore been prac-
tically no market.
Business at the coal mines continues
active and the textile mills report a
good sale for their products.
| Among the most prominent new in
| iustries for the week The Tradesman
reports the following:
The Rose Manufacturing Co., capi'
tai, $50, 900, Dallas, Tex. brick works
at Natchez, Miss, and brick and tile
works at st. Augustine, Fla. a $25, 600
brewery at Louisville, Ky. the Oak

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Severely Cold Weather Affected the
Distribution Of Staple Goods.
IMPROVEMENT NOTED IN SOUTHERN TRADE
Alaskan Business on the Coast is Very
Active The Export Movement of
Cereals Show Heav., Falling of.
Increase in Business Failures.

Bradstreet's review Of trade for the
past week says Severely cold wealth
or, accompanied by high winds and
heavy snow, has been a feature exer-
cising great influence on the move
ment and distribution of staple goods
this week The Northern and Eastern
states appear to have felt the effects of
the storm most severely. In spite OF
this interruption of business salts
factory trade for the season is reported
in most lines, with special activity in
iron and steel trades and kindred
lines.
In the East the distribution of dry
goods and wool has been checked and
the movement of produce greatly in
terfered with, but the tone of the cot
ton goods situation is, if anything, i'm
roved. In the Middle states and in
the central West the movement of iron
into consumption is still very large,
but nervousness as to possible over
production affects that market.
Steel is slightly lower at the East,
but firmly held at Chicago, which also
reports advance in iron bars, wires and
nails. Southern buyers are coming
into st. Louis more numerously than
usual at this date and the distribution
of dry goods, boots and shoes and
drugs is active.
At the South trade is reported i'm
proved at several important centers
and the total of January business Is
said to be above the average.
Alaskan business on the Pacific coast
is still very active, but export trade In
cereals is small.
Steadiness in prices has been fea-
ture of the week, the only decreases
noted being in wheat, corn and flour
on speculative reaction, while the
prices of oats, pork, beef and coffee
are higher.
The export movement of cereals
shows heavy falling off for the week,
but is still ahead of the same week OF
preceding years. The total shipments
Of wheat, flour included, amount to
3,433, 1914 bushels, against 5,O2S, 900
bushels, last week and 4,16o, 600 bush
els in this week a year ago.
Business failures, though slightly
larger than last week, numbering 295,
against 2SS in the week before, are lit
lie above the 1rmal.

APPEALS TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Colored Postmaster at Hogansville'
Ga, Asks for Another Appointment.

The Colored Postmaster at Hogansville,
Ga, Asks for Another Appointment.
Isaiah H. Loftin, the negro post
ma ,ter at Hogansville, Ga, has written
o personal appeal to President Nc
Kinley asking that he be given another
appointment. In this letter he states
that the compensation of his predeces-
sor was over $50 month, and that
during the six months in which he has
held the office he has averaged for him
self the pitiful sum of IL cents day,
and that the boycott inaugurated by
the entire white population of the city
shortly after his appointment has, in
stead of being broken, grown and
strengthened.
A similar appeal was made to Post
master General Gary some weeks ago,
and as a result the mail cars that now
pass through Hogansville are locked
before they reach the city and the
messengers have been instructed to re-
ceive no mail except in pouch from the
postmaster.

Crosby Surrenders.

German H. Crosby, a convicted muir.
derer, in Chiffon Co., Ala, who escaped
soon after sentenced, has surrendered.
The case of Crosby and the circum-
stances surrounding make it indeed re-
markable in view of the fact that he
surrendered to serve out the ten years
sentence imposed upon him by the
court at its fall term, 1895, not know
ing that his case had been passed upon
by the supreme court. His case was
reversed and remanded and set for
re-hearing.
