signs his departure to the voting of
Asheville dry in October. He says
he regards prohibition as detrimental
to the city's future welfare. He says
however in this connection that he
wishes it understood that no personal

purpose, that it is simply a matter
of principle. Mr.. Roebling is a son
of Col. Washington A. Roebling, the
builder of the famous Brooklyn bridge

always responded generously and

leaving Asheville he donated to the

an elegant mansion. The property is
worth many thousands of dollars. Mr..
Roebling is a splendid citizen and his
many friends regret that he is to
leave and especially that he has as
signed prohibition in Asheville as the
cause.

The following letter from the Put
nam-Hooker Company. cotton goods
commission merchants, one of the
largest concerns in the country,
would indicate that better conditions
prevail in the cotton milling than
is apparent on the surface:
LAS we diagnose the situation in
cotton goods we believe there Will be
very few price changes downward,
and that soon after January a vigor-
Gus buying campaign will be started
by the dry goods trade n be follow
ed by converters, cutters and export
ers. a few wise ones may see this
coming and begin to buy before.
while there is a feeling among
cotton growers favorable to higher
prices for cotton after the turn of the
year, there may be no violent change
in it, but that a very large number of
cotton growers are 50 situated finan-
cially as to be able to hold their
crops for Is cents can not be denied.
with the exception Of 1905, we
know of no time in our t~hirty-five
years experience in business when
production has been as we'll under the
control of orders as at the present
time, and eve with q shrinkage in
purchases for the spring of 1908, we
believe a scarcity in many lines OF
goods will be developed, and thai
mills with a shrinkage in purchases
for the spring of 1908, We believe q
scarcity in many lines of goods viii
be developed. and that mills will be
disinclined to tie themselves up fol
long extended deliveries.
THE financial situation is, in oul
opinion, now a mere matter of senti-
ment. and the development of an OPP
timistic feeling among banks and de-
positors will take the place Of the pes
simistic feeling that has prevailed fol
several months. This change is, NJ
