the front. But for fine goods of oak and mahogany, requiring artistic design and carving. the trade looks entirely to Grand Rapids; and that city will continue in the lead for years to come Furniture is to that district what iron and steel are to the Pitts burg district and the Birmingham district The plants are there and the designers and the artisans are there. But the situation has changed in this respect, to-wft: For merly Grand Rapids had all the fine quar- ter-sawed oak needed in the manufacture of a high-grade product close at hand, while today large quantities of oak have to be transported from the south, some of 1t from Alabama. Western timber of the sort referred to is getting scarcer every year. Walnut went out of fashion some years ago. and the fine woods used now are oak and mahogany, the latter brought from Honduras. Now, it strikes me that some day Birmingham should be a center for the manufacture of furniture of both cheap and fine styles. And why not? We have abundant raw material in Alabama for cheap furniture, and We have the quarter sawed oak for the fine grades. As for the mahogany, Birmingham being much nearer to Honduras than Grand Rapids is. our manufacturers could get it at much less cost for transportation. The start will be made some day. no doubt. But, as I have said, Grand Rapds will be in the lead for many years to come.'

AMERICAN MONEY GOING ABROAD


London, Augusta The Times today
prints long editorial dealing with the
economic position Of the United States as
evinced by the allotment OF the war loan,
traces the progress during the last four
years of the reduction of the American
debt, but maintains that the United
States has not yet ceased to be a debtor
nation. 1t refers to the abundance OF
capital accommodating in America and
adds:
Nothing could suit the Americans bet
ter, among the non-American securities,
than the obligations of the British gov
eminent.
mot only have the Americans consid-
erably reduced the permanent indebted
ness of Europe by buying American rail-
way and other bonds and securities, but
when, in the autumn OF 1896, London,
for causes refused to renew masses of
German bills previously held here, the
bulk, after having been domiciled for a
short time in Paris, was transferred to
New York, where they have remained
ever since and have doubtless been added
to.
''The United States also lent money to
Russia.
cit has been evident that for eighteen
months or two years American
finance houses possessed large funds
which they have been unable to employ
at home satisfactorily and the higher In
terest rates at present in Europe attract
some of this money"
