the rate of $4,000, 600 tons of iron
and importing at the rate of 1,000,-
600 tons year. There seemed to
be no limitto the consumptive de-
mand of the country. Pig iron
was selling in Birmingham at $18
to $40 ton, and in some cases $22
to $28 a ton, and buyers were
scrambllng for it. 1t is selling to-
day at about $3.50 to $40 ton,
and though production through
out the country has been cut down
almost 40 per cent, the supply still
seems equal to present consump.
tive requirements.
"Every boom in stocks, in iron,
real estate, which has swept over
the country, has been followed by
The natural swing Of the pendulum
to depression and lower prices.
The history of every boom should
prove Il warning to the South to
beware of a wild speculative boom
in cotton. 1t is much better to
have lost the chance of possible
profits in cotton speculation and
to have attended to legitimate
business than to have run the risk
of boing swampod with debts by
losses in cotton or any other specu-
lative operation. Upon bankers
of the South will rest great re-
sponsibility as to whether they en-
courage or discourage the present
speculative operations, not only Of
cotton people who are familiar
with the ups and downs of the
trade, but of the general public,
which, according to reports, is be.
ing drawn into this maelstorm of
speculation.

GAS recently pointed out in The

year was 773, 100000 bushels,
against 6O7,OOO,OOO bushels in
1902, a gain Of l66,0OO,OO0 bush

"Last year the south had about

have been about 100000 bales.
Had the yield per acre been equal
to the average for the three years
from 1998.90 to 19OO-O1 the crop
would have been about 12,5OOOOO
bales, and had it been equal to the
average of the three years from
1855.96 to 1897-08 it would have
been213, 100000 bales. The short
age in last years crop was due not
to lack of acreage, but to the re-
