The fertilizer business of Savannah,
which has shown a steady and profit
able growth from year to year, was
larger last season than ever before.
1t is estimated that the four manu-
factories of this city turned out to-
tai output of between 125, 900 and $780,
900 tons, all of which was sold during
the regular season and at prices slight
~ better than those of the previous
year.
The trade may be said to have been
much more satisfactory than usual,
in every way, for so heavy was the
demand that there was no trouble in
disposing of stocks at good prices, ard
so there was no slashing of prices by
competitors as had been the case in
former years when conditions were
less prosperous.
There has been no recent extension
of territory on the part of the local
manufactures; rather a. retrenchment,
it having been found more advisable
to devote the time and attention of
the managers of the trade to a thor
ough development of the business in
territory directly contiguous TO this
city than to seek to sell in more dis
tant parts of the state and of the
South. At one time the territory was
quite an extended one, but this was
made necessary because of the COM
petition by Northern concerns, which
had to be contended with in local ter
ritory. The superior quality of the
local product has now driven out this
competition and there is no further
need to seek new fields, as so great
and constant Is the demand in the
nearby counties that all the fertilizers
made are placed without trouble.
The prospects for the coming sea-
son are unusually bright. 1t is gem
orally understood among the members
of the trade that there will be no fall
ing off in the amount of land to be
placed under cultivation, which means
that the demand for fertilizers will be
quite as large. if not larger, than ever
before.
Probably the ease with which the
Savannah product has disposed of It's
competition and the great demand
that it has secured for itself is due
in a great measure to the fact that
only the best of materials are used in
its manufacture. 1t is even possible
that this In a large measure accounts
for the apparent diminution of another
branch of the industry at this port
the export of phosphate rock. AS
practically all of the phosphate rock
used by the local factories is brought
from Florida, and as these mines have
son to supply the demand for it, they
have, in taking care of the domestic
business, been unable to fill orders for
export, with the result that foreign
shipments from this port for the last
season show q considerable falling off
as compared with those of the year
before.
The companies controlling the Flor
ida mines, the majority of which are
either owned or partly controlled by
Savannah men, are reported to be in
much better shape for increasing the
output of rock during the present
year, and It is therefore to be expected
that the exports will again compare
most favorably with those of former
seasons.

ports from Savannah from Sept. 1, 1903.

GROCERY TRADE.
More Than Held Its own and Has
brilliant Outlook.

hEAlAtuhE OuNAOOks
The trade of Savannah's wholesale
grocers, though it underwent some
changes in the last season, lost
nothing in volume, despite the active
competition in the nearby territory.
There was a falling off in the
heavy goods, such as meats, f1ours and
similar commodities, which are, as is
natural, being sold chiefly by the points
of distribution nearest the point of de-
livery, but the loss of a part of this
business was more than made up
for in the increase in other lines,
mainly in fancy groceries, a line that
is of more value to the trade as offer
ing better margin Of profit
The facilities for developing and
holding this trade for this city have
been materially improved within the
last few months by the beginning of
direct importations from Holland
which puts the goods in the hands of
the Savannah jobbers at the same
price that they are bought by the New
York commission men and enables the
local houses to sell such goods at the
price they formerly paid for them. This
is an advantage that alone would as
sure a large business in this class of
goods for this city, for being placed
on a par with New York and other
big Eastern cities in the matter of the
price paid for the goods they are in a
position to undersell all competitors in
this section of the country and can
more than hold their own with the
Northern houses because of the differ
ence in the cost of transportation.
Among the articles imported are cof-
fee, cheese, behring's, wines, table oils
and preserves OF various sorts.
But without considering the recent
advantages the year as a whole was
satisfactory, the volume OF busi-
ness in some cases was not quite
so great as that of last year,
but this was due not to any lack of
orders, but rather to the fact that in
some cases the condition of the crops,
the lumber business, or whatever
serves as a basis OF credit according
to locality did not at the time war
rant an increase of Indebtedness.
The busy season with this class or
trade will start now within two weeks
and whatever the individual dealers
may think Of the year that Is past
they all have no hesitancy In express
ing only the rosiest views of the pros
poets of the coming year. Their trav-
cling men from all sections OF the
country are sending in the most glow
ing accounts OF crops and warning
their firms to lay in big stocks, as the
demand Is coming with the beginning
Of the movement Of the new cotton.

about January prices were put by
holders higher than spinners were
willing to pay, and the manufacture
ers, learning of the advance and the
probability that the cotton would be
held firm, refused to make contracts
for delivery of the product of their
mills, with the result that they We're
nearly independent of the holders and
kept well out of the market, holding
off in buying from January-February
till May.
At this time a large sale of the sta
pie was made at a concession, but as
other holders refused to meet this de-
cline there was comparatively little
buying done again until August, when
pretty nearly all of the better grades
of unsold stock were taken, but at
concessions that were even greater
than those of the earlier part of the
season. This loss was of no great in
terest to growers, the majority of
them having let the cotton pass from
their hands into those of the middle
men earlier in the season.
The outlook for the coming season is
one of much promise, for though the
acreage of the sea island crop was re-
duced, it is estimated some 20 per cent.
the condition of the crop is now eX-
cellent and the yield, it is believed,
will be so much greater than that of
the previous season, as will insure
quite as large a crop as was gathered
from the greater acreage. The crop
promises an early movement, too, as
first bales from both Georgia and Flor
ida were received many days earlier
this season than last.
The smaller acreage of sea island is
due in no small measure to the fact
that the excellent price realized for
upland cotton last season made it
more profitable, should such prices
again obtain this season, to grow up
land in place of sea island. The short
staple cotton is easier to grow, less
exhaustive to the lands on which it
is planted and. another advantage to
the planter, can usually be sold as soon
as marketed whereas sea island must
be held until orders are received for
it.

Orders for ten new locomotives
for the steel corporation roads in
Minnesota have been placed with
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and
the American Locomotives W orks,
reports the News Tribune. The
former concern will build four new
engines for the Duluth & Iron Range
and the latter will build six new en-
gines for the Duluth, Missabe &

The Iron Range engines will be
12-wheelers and similar to some of
the larger locomotives now in COM
mission on the road. The engines
for the Missabe road will also be
powerful ones. The new equipment
is to be delivered next spring.
The steel corporation has made
greater preparations this year than
ever before for handling ore. The
new equipment ordered for next
year comprises ten new engines,
eleven hundred new steel ore cars,
eight new steam shovels and six
more under option. The corpora
