mental drawbacks, is highly promis-
ing.

noted that the East feels the effect
of speculative liquidation, and the dull
ing effect IN manufacturing of high
prices of raw material. 0r of Strikes,
while the West and South contemplate
prospects of good yields of staple
crops and remunerative prices for the
same with confidence and even OPP
timism.
There are some drawbacks of

has had a sentimental effect on job.

ern advices are that only a calamity
to the corn crop or a money scare at
the East can prevent a good fall and
winter trade.
With the exception Of rain being
needed in South Carolina, the cotton

The high premiums on spot cotton

into unrestrained acclamations; the

the bells of Rome rang out a joyful
peal.

cathedral was empty.
Cardinal Gibbons, after participant
ing in the coronation ceremonies,

Giuseppe Sarto was born in Riesi,
diocese of Treviso, Italy, June 2, 1885,
and was created cardinal by Leo XIII
at the consistory of June II, 1898, re-
ceiving the title of Saint Bernardo
dele Terme. He is also patriarch of
Venice since June, 1898, and Bishop
of Mantua. He belongs to the eccles-
iastical congregations of bishops and
regulars, sacred rites, indulgences and
sacred relics.
Cardinal Sarto enjoys great pOpu-
larity in his diocese, and is honored
by all for his purity, for the strict
uprightness of his life, and for liberal
ideas. He is a modest and agreeable
man, highly cultivated, very kind
hearted, still strong and robust in
spite of his 6S years. He has never
taken great part in the political and
public life Of the church; but divided
his time betewen study and good
works. Although most faithful to the
Holy See he was presented to the
King and Queen of Italy in Venice.
He may be considered among the more
liberal members of the Italian episco-
pate and sacred college. He is rather
timid in expressing an opinion. 1t is
said that Leo XIII always thought
very highly of him and sided with him
on one occasion when Sarto disap
proved of Rampolla's policy.
