THE RED GUM
Rapid Increase ill Consumption OF Inns
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Supply.

The market demand for red gum
one of the commCnest trees in the hard
wood bottom lands of the southeastern
states and the Mississippi ~valley--has
grown very rapidly in the last SIX
years. Previous to this time the man
ufacture of the wood had remained in
the experienced stage, little effort hav
ing been made TO prevent its tendency
to. warp and twist. Judicious care in
handling has, however, proved sufi-
cient to eliminate this Objectionable
quality, and the usefulness and abunG-
ance of the red gum, with the grow
ing scarcity of poplar and cottonwood,
which it resembles in several ways,
have brought about its increasing use
by the mills, until now furniture facto-
ries in cities alone consume between
forty million and sixty million board
feet a year, and the wood may be re-
garded as firmly established in the
market.-Washington Gazette-Messen-

It's steady advance towards financial
self reliance is II Of the most impress
sive features of the South's develop
ment. Evidences that only a compare
lively short time will pass before the
South will no longer feel obliged to
call upon financial centres in other
parts OF the country to provide money
for handling her great crops are to be
seen not only in the large increase IN
the number of her banks and trust
companies, but also in the fact that
those institutions are purchasing many
bond issues made by cities, towns and
counties for various public improve
ments. Their ability to bid for these
securities is found in the gains (some
of them surprisingly large) which have
been made in their deposit lines, the
banks of at least one city displaying
increases Of about 200 per cent. in de-
posits within the last seven years.
