That the port is still one of the chief
ports of the world is shown, too, by the
fact that during the season just closed

feet of yellow pine having been sent
on a single steamship from Savannah
to Montreal. One of the tendencies of

OUTLOOK FOR RICE GOOD.
Opening of Cuba as Market Will
Mean Higher Prices.


Rice growing is one of the few in
dustries in which Savannah is inter-
ested that failed to show an improve
ment last season over that of the pre-
vious year. There are two reasons for
this: the first is that the crop was a.
poor one, due to cold, wet spring and
consequently late planting, and, sec
ond, to the competition of the Louisi-
ana and Texas crops, which were ex-
ceptionally large and which, because
having no foreign market as an out
let, became such a burden on the
American market that prices fell to
the lowest level reached since 1891
The season opened with fair promise
but prices gradually declined until at
the end of August the loss had reach
ed "a to 21a cents a pound. The fact
that the planters received an average
price of but SIS to IS cents bushel
for their rough rice shows that there
was little, if any, money made on the
entire crop.
But if the last season was a bad one
the indications for the present season
are in decided contrast. The present
acreage is something like 5000 acres
and from the whole of Savannahs
territory, embracing the fields of the
Savannah, Ogeechee. Altamaha and
Satilla rivers, comes news of good
condition of the crop, and promise Of
a large yield.
One of the bright spots in the out
look is the possibility that rice may
be placed on the free list in the trade
with Cuba, which means that a very
large part of the crop would find a
market in that island, one of the larg-
est consumers of rice in the world,
which would relieve the pressure on
the American market and cause a con-
sequent increase of prices to the vast
benefit of the planters.

The volume of yellow pine lumber
handled during the past year was, up
to within about three months, very
nearly on a parity with that of the
previous year. Prices, however, had
continued to gradually decline from
the start given in this direction by the
2-cent advance made by the railroads
in Western rates, verifying the predic-
tion Of the lumbermen made at that
time, viz. that the general feeling
being that the crest of wave of pros
perity had been reached, such advance
in the rates by the railroads would but
accelerate the down-grade movement.
Some three months or more from the
cumulative affects of the advance in
rates referred to, a decentralization of
prices set in. Fortunately, past ex-
periences, coupled with a better organ
ization of the manufacturers than has
existed at any time in the past, en-
abled the manufacturers to apply the
only remedy calculated to ameliorate
the situation, viz: curtailment. The
result is now being somewhat felt, as
shown by the latest reports from the
two largest associations in the yellow
pine district, indicating that the ship
ments in the past three months show
an estimated 25,0O0,OOO feet shipped

more than cut, showing a reduction in
stocks to that extent.
Couple this with the fact that u.s.
100000 to 200000,000 feet of stock was
left in standing timber rather than be-
ing manufactured and put on sticks,
and you would have represented a re-
lief to the market of a minimum of
2O0,000,000 feet. Two or three months
more of equal reduction will certainly
put the supply below the demand and
cause values to assume a stronger po-
sition, in not to reach the level they
held early in this year.
Prices Too Low.
Ruling prices of to-day are at or be-
low the cost of manufacture. The
railroads can but feel heavily the eff
fectS of the curtailment in product re-
ferred to and appreciate their folly in
demoralizng the business by an unwar-
ranted advance in rates against the
protest of the manufacturers, who, it
would be supposed, better understood
the conditions existing in their bust
ness. and it is to be hoped that it will
result in a more liberal treatment of
the lumbermen in future, both as to
the rates, and as to the just contention
of the manufacturers for flat-cars
suitably equipped for the transportation
of lumber.
Demand has continued fair all con-
ditions considered, and prices would
have unquestionably ruled more even
ly and satisfactory but for the demon
alizing influence started by the action
of the railroads. The indications now
are the demand will continue about as
at present, fully consuming the pres
ent curtailed product until the Begin
ming of the new year, when heavier
demand is anticipated with firm and
advancing prices.
Better Organization.
But though the lumbermen ex-
perienced a less profitable business
than during the former season, even
their adversely in way, was
of service to them: 1t showed
them the need of organizing for mu-
tual benefit, and of several other
changes that could be made for the
benefit of the business as a whole. Nor
was the lesson lost in the trade,
for through the agency of the Georgia
Interstate Sawmill Association a sue
cessful effort is being carried out, hav-
ing for it's object the cooperation of
all members of the trade and many
of the abuses that had crept into the
business have received consideration
and several of them remedied.
By joining forces with the Board of
Trade, as a part of that organization,
the lLmbermen strengthened their own

HOW TO FIND TRUTH.
It Is in Yielding to the Revelations
Which Are Given to Us
Day by Day.

One of the most puzzling questions.
perhaps, that can be addressed to any
preacher, and has often been addressed
to me, is this: Why does God not make
IL so that there shall be no room for
doubt concerning duty, destiny, heaven
and things to come. concerning Christ,
the Holy Spirit, the Father of our spir-
Us? Why does not God write as It were
across the sky with the finger of phe-
nomena the truth which all men can
read? Why should not the vision al
ways and everywhere be granted to men
In common? 81 do not know where to

There is no man OF woman in this

me is: What response have we made

A REAL PRAYER.
How a Little Girl Received a Prompt
and Full Answer to Her
Petition.

A little girl whose sick mother had
no bread, knelt down by the bedside. and
said, slowly: Give us this day our

street and began to wonder where God
kept His bread. She saw large bakers
shop.

So she entered confidently and said to

to the tempting loaves. "I'll take two

The hard words frightened the litue
girl, who, bursting into tears. said
Mother is sick, and am so hungry. In
my prayers l said: Give us this dav orr
daily bread and then thought Cod
meant me TO fetch it, and so I came"
The baker was softened by the child's
simple tale, and he sent her back to her
mother with a well-flled basket
