It has been decided that the cotton trading organization to be established in Birmingham shall be styled the Southern Spot Cotton exchange, "The more l think of the exchange idea,n said local cot ton buyer last night, "the more feasible 1t seems A great spot market will be built up here and Birmingham will be- come as famous as a cotton center as 1t has been all along as an iron center.
 Many people. ask how it is that Bir- mingham can loom up as an important cotton exchange city, when other towns right in the cotton belt have for years had cotton trade as a mainstay, so to speak We'll, one great advantage that Birmingham offers over other cities is it's exceptionally strong banking position. or the 73 national banks in the state of Ala bama one of these banks alone, here in Birmingham, has. according to the March statements made to the comptroller of the currency, 35.6 per cent of the total deposits, and 27 per cent of the total resources. This showing in favor of Bir- mingham is certainly telling. The fnane- ing of a large spot cotton business here is, therefore, easy; and that fact, taken with Brminghams central location, makes this city the logical place for the Southern Cotton exchange"
 The headquarters of the Southern Cot ton association will be transferred from Atlanta to Birmingham and President Harvie Jordan will take up his residence here.

Just make up your mind not to worry,

national wealth. 1S5O to 1904.

In the table of national value real estate leads all the rest, followed in order by railroads, manufactured prod ucts, personal property, live stock, tools and machinery, street railways, clothing, gold and silver agricultural products, shipping and canals, and farm implements. All other items fall below the five hundred million line.
 Our public debt in 1890 stood at $1,9S9, S9,112,S42, or $3176 per capita. In 1902 it had risen to $2,7S9,990 120, or $95.50 per capita. These figures in- clude state debts, county debts, mu- nicipal debts and school district debts as well as the national debt.
 The tables furnished by the census bureau go to shoY that tax levies are increasing faster than population. The assessed valuation of property subject to taxation was in 1904 about thirty five billions of dollars, but by using estimated true values the bureau pre- sents this table:

Biu Gain in Wealth

The census bureau has just com pleted it's reports on the nations wealth, debt and taxation. The esti- mated values of national wealth for 1900 do not show as great a percentage of increase for the decade 1890 to 1900 as is shown for the preceding decade. In contrast with the decade 1890 to 1900 the period 1900 to 1904 recorded an advance in national wealth which has no parallel in the history of the country, except in the decade 1850 to 1860. This advance resulted from many causes, of which the reaction from the low prices of the depressed period 1893 to 1896 was undoubtedly one of the most potent.
