ago. There has been no symptom of
 revival in the demand for dimension
 stuff. and there is no abatement of the
 output on the part of the millmen. The
 result is that while stocks are moving
 sluggishly the yards are accommodating
 a quantity of material that occasions
 great alarm to those who are looking to
 the future Confidence in the early im-
 provement of the market is shown in
 various ways, principally in the matter
 of avtivity in the stumpage market. Deals
 for large and small tracts are reported
 almost daily and there Is certainly no
 sign of weakness shown in the prices
 that are paid
 Among the recent deals of importance
 Is one whereby L. Brame, Jr., of Jack
 son, representing a syndicate of capital ists of Jackson. acquires a 5700-acre tract in Lamar county at s20 per acre, which Is a somewhat lower price than was paid by Hawkins & Co. of Hattiesburg for a
 1900 acre tract In the same county.
 Appropos of the price of timber land, an interesting story Is being told of purchase made about fifteen years ago of n large tract of land in Pearl River coun- ty by Spengler Bros. of Vicksburg at 50 cents per ache After cutting the larger trees from the tract the Spengler ssros.
 sold 1t to another firm at $1 per acre. A few days ago the same lands again changed hands, and this time at '$20 per acre.
 The McPherson Bros. of Detroit have just sold to the Lynden Lumber com.
 pany of this county a tract of 1902 acres
 near wingate for s35075, which is at the fiat rate of ss5 per acre. The timber on
 this tract is especially valuable, and the tract lies convenient to the mills or
 the purchasing company.
 Minor Lumber News. The supreme court at Jackson now has under advisement the case of Comstock Brothers vs. the J. E. North Lumber company from Harrison county, case involving a timber deal amounting to nearly s1,0o0.000. Appellants claim that they had an option on 42,000 acres of pine timber land belonging to the appellees and located in Harrison, Pearl River and Jackson counties, and that this tract was sold to other parties in violation or the option The case has been argued before the supreme court but mas not yet been decided.

 New York, July 1.-The Financler says this week:
 Last weeks official statement of the New York Associated Banks was disap- pointing in many respects are chiefly be- cause of the large loss of cash, whereas more or less important gain had been foreshadowed by the estimates which were based upon the known movements of money during the week The decrease in loans was not surprising indeed 1t had been expected as the result of calculations of loans incident to disbursements of in- terest and dividends which were active ly in progress during the week. The cash loss as reported by the statement was $s,909.0O0.
 This was probably partly due to the first transfers of money from the banks to trust companies, which institutions thus responded to the requirements of the new law that made obligatory the holding of one per cent, amounting to about $10,0OO0O0 additional lawful money reserve, as compared with the per cent which was required to be held on the pas sage of the law last April.
 General deposits of the banks decreased SIS. 273, 300 this amount, however, Is smaller by two millions than the of the contraction of $6,366,SOO in loans and the decrease in cash and therefore the state i ment made Is unusually bad proof The | lequlred reserve was reduced by $331S. | BPS as the result of the decrease In de- posits; deducting this item from the loss If cash. left $o,590,s75 as the reduction In about thshry.as, to s6.465.ol5

MOBILE EXPORTS
 WERE $21,725,592 Collector Tebbetts Gets Up In-
 tereStIng Figures
GREAT GAINS ARE SHOWN
Imports Were Valued at s4,s5o.464 for the Fiscal Year Just Closed. Total Business of Port
 Was $2e,57e,o56.

Mobile, July 7.-QSpecial) William Frye Tebbetts, collector of customs, has given out the following interesting and most gratifying statement regarding Mobile 8 foreign commerce during the fiscal year just closed
 "The foreign commerce of Mobile in merchandise for the fiscal year ending June SO exceeded both in imports and exports that of any earlier year. The imports were valued at s4.S50. 464, which ex- ceeded by s5S9al5 the total for 1904 the only earlier year in which they had amounted to more than s4,3OO,000 The ex- ports amounted to $2l, 725. .592 which ex- eeeded by $3,650,636 the total for 1905, which was up to that time the highest record of exports. The aggregate of imports and exports was $26576,058, which exceeded by $4,249, 7S6, the total for 1905. which was up to that time the highest record of total foreign commerce.
 "Comparing the figures of 1906 with those of decenial periods in the early history of our commerce, it may be stated that imports and exports amount to practl- eally ten times the value of the total for 1SS6 while since 1896, the Imports have increased about 40 per cent. and the ex- ports have increased about 210 per cent
 The following Is a comparison:
 Imports. Exports. Total. 1886 e. .. ..$ 69,734 2.74s, ,s11 2,S1S,545 1S96 e. . m 940,579 6,995,127 7,935645 1906 60. . 1850, 464 21,725, ,593 26,576.O56
 The $26 0,OO0 worth of merchandise ex- ported was distributed In twenty-seyen countries Cuba heading the list, her share amounting to $6,775,075, which Is an in- crease of $649, 104 over the exports of 1905. Consideration of the import side only shows our increased importance in the tropics for imports, the tropical coun- tries having furnished over 96 per cent of the total imports for the year. Out of the nineteen countries which sent mer- chandise to Mobile during last year, Mex leo is far in the lead, the value from that country having amounted to 8, TIP. This consisted chiefly of sisal grass, hardwoods and coffee The imports from Cuba does rot represent but about one-third of the merchandise that actually comes from that country through this port, the $l48,073 only representing the part that was of a perishable nature. The chief imports from Cuba is tobacco and sugar, and while we get no part of the sugar grown down there, tobacco is shipped in great quantities each week to interior ports un- der the immediate transportation laws.
 The following is a list of countries ar ranged according to their importance to which Mobile sent and received merchan- disc during the last year.

 South Mississippi Men to Meet.
 The meeting of the South Mississippi Lumber Manufacturers assocition, which Is to be held In IIattiesburg on July 10, will be devoted to the discussion of the most important matters bearing upon the condition of the lumber trade at this time. The session will not be open to the public, and 1t Is believed by the officers of the association. with whom your cor respondent has talked about the meet ing that some remedy will be devised for the improving of trade conditions.
 While all the millmen firmly believe
 that the present spell of stagnaton Is only temporary. they realize that at the present rate of production with slack demand the markets will be glutted that | they will not recover in time give the manufacturers the benefit of the revival 1 that Is looked for in the fall.
 Unfortunately the South Mississippi as- sociation is not influential enough in itself | to control the operations of any large
 section of the trade, and in considering l tlllS pndSe Ol llc SlludlioH tnt tApItS- sions of the Southern Lumbermen have | given the cue to the millmen. They say | that 1t Is up to the big mills to take the
 initiative in steps looking to the curtall-
 ment of the output. The big mills have | the capital to enable them to order their | cut to suit the market, while the little | fellows are compelled to do business
 every day in the year In order to make | both ends meet Therefore 1t Is quite probable that the Southern Mississippi
 association will not itself order any cur l tailment of output, nor will any agree i ment of this kind be entered into. since
 the members recognize that any move | ment of that kind, to be effective must | be general. and if the small manufac- turers connected with this association | were to alone enter upon a practical | scheme of curtailment it would only be
 signal for the big fellows outside of | the association to increase their cut and l get the benefit of the situation thus cre- | ated.
 It is to be expected. therefore, that
 while the subject of curtailment will be considered in all it's phases at this meet | ing, the association will go no farther | than to pass some resolutions, perhaps
 making some practical suggestions as to
 how the curtailment could be made gen.
 eral and effective.
 There Is much conjecture abroad as to
 whether or not the association will un- dertake at this time to amend the price list The concensus of opinion is that no | change will be made. The list of this | association is confined largely to car | and railroad material. as to which there Is no serious dnlinution or demand and
 since 1t is the prevalent belief that the ] market for this stock will soon regain

Boom In Cut Over Lands.
The possibility of those big immigra- ton plans being carried Into effect has had the fffset tPHR Ar Al, quite hooro com,

in cut-over lands throughout the state, and Is not without it's effect in holding up the values of virgin timber land. It is argued that if the cut-over holdings of the big syndicates in Mississippi to be taken off the market at one swoop, the demand for smaller parcels of equally good land must increase, and the values go up accordingly. The prospect of hav- ing the vacant soil of Mississippi taken up by stalwart immigrants from Nor thern Europe meets with favor on all sides, for 1t helps to remove the fear that this state would be made the dump ing grounds for hordes of undesirable people from Southern Europe who have been tried In this state and found want ing

1t is because most women suffer from
some arrangement of their delicate
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel employers
to provide resting places for their f.
male employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work
demands or run the risk Of serious
diseases and the surgeons knife.

Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
GRADUAL loss Of strength, nervousness,

to get well. | objected to this and decided
to give Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com

things said about this great medicine were
true. The liberation soon healed, backache,
