The Wealth of the South.

Condensed from the Louisville Herald.
Governor Blanchard, OF Louisiana,
i'm an address delivered recently to
the Chamber of Commerce, offspring
field. Illinois, declared that the rise OF
the South from the ruins OF the war
elicits the admiration OF the world.
In the three essentials OF great
ness she holds foremost position, ana
is making the best Oft. These essen
tiaIs are cotton, iron and wood.
She has practically the monopoly OF
the cotton plant, and thus clothes
the world. We're the cotton crop
Of the South to fail for few years
in succession the world would go to
rags and nakedness. Her cotton crop
in 1906, including the value OF it's
seed, was worth in the raw 800,
OOO, 600. Manufactured into cloth,
it was easily worth four times that
sum. The time is ut hand when the
South will manufacture the greater
part if not all, OF it's cotton product.
The cotton region OF the South ex-
tends over 100000 square miles,
aud less than ten per cent Of this vast
area is planted in cotton. The forty
one crops raised since the war have
sold for : 4 900, OOO, OOO.a sum seven
times greater than the value OF all
the slaves set free by the war. The
consumption OF cotton is constantly
increasing. The South will before
many years produce $4,000. 900
bales and with a due supply of white
labor might easily turn out lOO, 900,
900.
Very little short of the value of the
cotton crop is the annual output OF
Southern forests. OF the cOuntry's
entire wealth OF timber, 60 per cent.
is in the South. The control OF the
lumber trade has, in consequence,
passed to the South.
The South occupies but % IL per
cent of the entire surface OF the Amer
lean Republic, yet it possesses BIB 1-:3
percent. of the coal beds, that may be
mined with profit. Alabama alone
Is so rich III iron ore that three or
four companies in that State own
more than is possessed by the United
States Steel Corporation i'll its vast
holdings in the Lake Superior region.
All of the Southern States with two
or three exceptions, have extensive
deposits OF iron ore
The Ithmian canal will broaden
Eastern markets for all American
goods. The South being hundreds
OF miles nearer the canal than New
York will have the advantage in
rates OF transportation. Well says
Governor Blancharl: down and up
lines OF longitude instead of over lines
OF latitude, will come an ever-increas
ing volume of the cOuntry's com
merCe and business.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-Tnere was a
sharp turn IN sentiment i'm the finan-
clal quarter late today which renewed
confidence in local banking insttu-
tons taking the place of the pan cky
feeling that has threatened solvent
houses and demoraiizel the Stock Ex-

night these financiers whose opinions
are most highly esteemed by the pub
lie expressed the conviction that the
worst was over and ':'"t out of the
present chaos a condition more STA

was rapidly shaping itself.
Many of the banking men who have
labored almost day and night recently
that the integrity of New York finan-

this evening were satisfied that sus-
pected houses whose credt was found
worthy OF support had been fortified
against incipient runs or other con-

have met the storm in sober mood
left their affairs smiling and chatting
and wearing general bearing that
spoke volumes and that they were ac
