the direction of the lumber field. coinci- dent with the growth of determination to handle the s ,uthern timber resources
 more scientifically and more economi- ca1ly. What are known as pine-product factories are springing up in the South Atlantic and Gulf States in the wake of the lumberman. One of the earliest was started at Wilmington. N. C., in 1e72. The first plants modelled after similar plants in Germany were rather crude affairs. confining their efforts to wood preserving purposes and paying no atten- ton to the refining of oil delivered in the processes. Gradually, however. the utili- zation of the products assumed a wider scope, until now different articles made from the pine waste in the South can be counted by the dozens. Pine needles are subjected to chemical and mechanical pro- cesses converting them into a substitute for horse hair in mattresses, cushions, etc. Another plant is engaged in saving fat light wood into blocks of a peculiar pattern for export, these blocks being used for kindiing. Another makes a sub stitute for linseed oil paints as a wood preservattye, a substitute for turpentlne, a disinfectant, and several medicinal arti- cles. A third manufactures turpentine direct from the wood. and the distilla- ton not being carried far enough to char the wood it is sawed into suitable shapes and sold for paving purposes, the claim being that these blocks wear the longer, as all the water has been extracted and the creosote and heavy oils left in. This direct distillation of turpentine Is expect ed to become more and more necessary with the disappearance of the pine forests unless that disappearance shall be check ed under sidllfui manipulation of the trees already standing and the cultiva- ton of new forests. Other by-products derived by new processes are creosote, acetate of lime. pyroligneous acid, iron liquor. etc. A correspondent of the Manufacturers Record concludes a sum- mary of the several processes as follows:
 Tn no other business does the writer think there is such a future, and If plant is built and operated on business principles with a definite line of manu- facture there is assuredly much money to be made. The trouble has been that most of the plants of the past have been built on an experimental basis, and the idea has been to develop the products rather than to market them. If a plant Is operated on business lines and suf- fcient money Is allowed to market the goods, the margin Of profit is large and success may be assured. It is only a question of time when other uses will be made of the pDoducts-uses not now dreamed of. The business may be said to be in embryo state. and the next few years will show marked developments along this line The amount of crude material is unlimited. and the market is gradually being extended"

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
DIsPRoPoRTIoN BETWEEN SUP
 PLY AND DEMAND.
Factors of Strength in Some Com modities, While in Labor Field It is Retarding Impor-
 tant Work.

New York. Feb. 1a-R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Disproportion between supply and de- commodities, while similar conditions ex- ist as to skilled labor retarding much work in some work and some cases post pcning important undertakings and im- provements. Wages have been advanced voluntarily and also in response to de- mands by organized labor. Relief to the trafnc congestion is still confined to a lew favored districts and shippers can not hope for prompt deliveries until lake navigation opens Orders for shipments are heavy in all staple lines and the ad- vance business for fall Is unusually large, tcsttfyfnG to the confidence of buyers in continued prosperity.
 Sound conditions continue to prevail in the iron and steel industry. with few de- velopments of note. Coke is in somewhat better supply making 1t possible to op- crate blast furnaces with less Interruption than was expected when the month open ed. but there is constant complaint of the h scarcity ana nigh prices commapded not risen proportionately, although they are In good demand. Large exports of wire and wire nails have occurred and tners is better movement of merchant material Is also in more urgent reuuest. The demand for railway equipment shows no diminution. Cotton has taken inc leading position of the great staples both as to extent of advance and volume of speculative transactions. Visible supplies are lower than at the corresponding date
 tn any year of the past decade and 1t is an unusual day when exports do not ex-
 ceed receipts. Foreign spinners are busy, domestic mills consume freely, while there
 IS business in sight for more cotton goods than present stocks of raw material at the mills will make. Several grades of
 cotton goods have advanced In price, which with gains in other divisions of
 the market during preceding weeks, makes the level of quotations much higher. A large attendance Of buyers Is reported. stimulating activity with jobbers and at first hands Cash sales are restricted by low supplies. Domestic consumption 1 supplies most of the business as export inquiries are light.
 New business has increased at New England footwear factories. with good or. | ders for April delivery of calf skin shoes In the leather market the chief event has been an active demand with higher prices for beltinR butts.
 Domestic hides weaken as the adyanc. ing season brings poorer grades to mar. Net. Restricted receipts of dry hide, sustain values imports from Centra
 America commanding a fractional ad vance.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS
REVIEW OF SITUATION BY THE MANUFACTURER RECORD.
Pine Product Factories Springing up {. in South Atlantic and Gulf States in the Wake of Es the Lumberman.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 12.-(Special. .)-In- hicative of mineral development in the South in recent years Is the progress made within ten months in coal mining in the Cabin Creek district, sixteen miles from Charleston, w. Va, described fin special correspondence In this weeks is- sue of The Manufacturers Record. Un- til a year ago three mining companies had long done a modest business in min ing among five seams of coal varying in thickness from eight feet to three and a half feet. This coal is so easily mined and covers such a vast area that ten months ago through railroad construc- tion and the betterment of connections an Impetus was given to operations there until now there are twenty-two new un- dertakings under way. These. with the three older ones, are actively pushing the development of their properties and twelve of them are already shipping coal. Four of the latter are especially strong corporations backed by large capital and controlling powerful interests. Besides the opening of numerous mines, great deal of construction work is in progress and small mining towns are rapidly springing into life. At this time nearly a hundred car loads of coal are shipped daily from Cabin Creek and 1t is well recognized that if ample transportation facilities shall be afforded the creek will within the next year reach an output of 15.000 tons a day, equal to shipment of 375 carloads or more than twelve trains of thirty cars each. The correspondence continues to tell how, stretching from Quinnemont in Fayette County to Charles ton, a distance of seventy-five miles, lie the great coal fields of the New River and Kanawha districts geographically so near to each other, yet geologically 30 different, the one a soft product, the other for the most part splint. Generally speaking, these coal seams in undulations dip toward the northwest and have an easy grade and slope with streams. Mak- ing a trip through these districts Is most interesting. as there are passed in rapid review hives of industry and achieve ments. Established operations are mak- tng improvements and extensions, new enterprises are everywhere being started, md thousands of tenant houses for the miners have been erected or are in course of construction. For long distances three, four and sometimes six coal operations may be counted within a mile, many of them with hundreds of coke ovens in blast.
 While energies are thus directed to the uncovering of hitherto untouched re- sources in the South, the tendency Is be- Ing accelerated to convert into valuable commercial assets material long regarded es waste. Of this tendency cottonseed is perhaps the most notable illustration, in that during the past twenty-five or thirty years the handling of 1t has come to represent an enormous business with an investment in plants of at least $50,- OOO.000 But in the last few years this tendency nas been given an impetus in
