General Rise In Prices.

General Rise In Prices.
New York, Jan. 28.-The general rise In
tho price of spot cotton came too late to
be } fit the planters to any great extent.
Most of the crop had been gathered and
marketed before the rise that which was
left being the blue or last picking, which
never realizes. much. But, notwithstand-
ing the fact that cotton has for the most
part sold for less than the cost o. produc
ton, the cotton growing States are in bet
ter financial condition than since 1892.
Naval stores, tobacco, especially the cheap
er grades, iron, and timber have shared IN
the better prices, and Southern banks show
larger deposits, loans, and discounts than
ever before.
The most remarkable advance in prices
has been due to the war. Lumber upon
which there is a good profit at $12 thou
sand feet delivered at any. of the Southern
or Southeastern ports, readily sells for $50
in the West Indies. Large sawmills have
been established everywhere, and the un-
employed have secured employment at
good wages as cutters, ,loggers, and mill
men. The price Of timber lands is from
100 to 1000 per cent higher than a year
ago The system employed by the lumber
concerns is to purchase the timber a.one,
thus leaving the land practically cleared
and pine that has formerly been burned as
SO much rubbish in order to clear land is

a Mischievous Priest.

(From the Detroit Free Press
There is now in Detroit a former Michi-
gan boy who recently spent several years
in doing this hemisphere. He had an ex-
perience In Caracas that left him in doubt
as to whether the jolly Spanish priest with
whom he formed a friendship. merely re-
peated wonderful tradition or had acquir-
ed the Yankee foible Of pulling the long
bow. There is a quaint old church there
on which the elements and time have left
the unmistakable marks of great age. 1t
was to the priest that the Michigander
went and asked as to the history of the
venerable edifice
1T was built in IVA" said the priest
Then il has survived the terrific earth
quake of 1872"
Yes. a miraculous preservation. Only
this one heavy wall was disturbed, the
base being thrown several feet out Ii
was a leaning wall then, but the best
builders gave assurance that it would carry
all the weight placed upon it without
danger to anyone or to the building. Hon.
est work was done in those days, you know
A few insignificant repairs put the church
in good shape again"
But the wall appears perfectly straight
now"
so it is. But that's the story of another
miracle. You know that we've had an
earthquake since the memorable one of
1922"
Yes, and recall that it did great dam
age"
True, but not to the beloved church.
IT was tossed about as by the waves of the
sea in their angriest mood, but when the
earth settled once more this wall was
straight and the church stood as it was
built. Such honest work is not in our
day"
