TRANSPORTATION THE KEY
A. e. GREEN.

While the educational confer
ence Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, recently meeting i'll At
fanta, was especially devoted to
the subject expressed IN its name,
the Rev. DR.. Lee, prominent i'll
Georgia and throughout the entire
South, took occasion to speak of
the material riches of the South
err States aud it is story not
al,'e of developed but of unde-
veloped wealth-and the undevel-
oped wealth is more largely halt
ell by lack Of facilities for trans
portation than from any other
cause.
DIR. Lee declared that the a.
600, 900 people of the South were
more favored in mineral and in
agricultural riches than any like
number of people on the globe
and, it is within the bounds of the
most carefully prepared official
statistics to state that DR.. Lee
was moderate in his declaration
of natural resources pertaining to
the South. The reports of the
Geological Survey of the United
States give testimony to the fact
that the known supply of iron
aud of steel ores of the South
equal the known iron and steel
ore area of all Europe; that the
coal area of the South is equiva-
lent to $4,000 miles, or fifty per
cent in excess of the coal area of
Great Britain, Germany, France
and Russia combined; that the
coal of Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia, alone, to say nothing of the
mines of Alabama and other States
of the South, is of the undoubted
value of $4,000, 900, 900, count
ing at ten cents per ton.
Thers is gold in Maryland, in
Georgia, in North Carolina and in
Virginia; there is coal and there
is iron in the greatest abundance
in the South; her cotton crop has
averaged in recent years 500, 0O0,-
600 annually and yet, magnifi-
cent though the results of the
cotton crop are, the 800, 900, 900
represents but one third of the
field products of the South and
it is not alone in field products
that she is rich but in all things
that go to the making of prosper
Gus Commonweaiths, save in one
thing-transportation, the key to
development and to continued
prosperity and advancement.
The rivers of the South are
magnificent bighways-as nature
created them--but the highway is
valueless unless the products of
mine, field and factory can be
transported over it at all seasons
of the year, accommodating itself
to all classes and conditions of
trade, commerce and agriculture,
an easy, a cheap, a con-
yenient aud continuous route to
u market, regulating rates as no
legislation can regulate them,
avoid ny congestions and bring

eethe, as business demands.

THE STOCK MARKET


 New. York, Oct. 22.--A process of digestion of speculative prof1ts was in progress In today's stock market and Its effect on prices was quite clearly actions during the first hour were on a very large scale and the market had all the appearance Of great strength and animation at that time. Tester dy's demonstration of revived interest and strength had the effect of attract Ing new lot of buyers, largely Of minor speculative class. Wire houses sne an commission houses reported a . con. from outside sources. IL was this de- mand that was fed by distribution of selling orders. to the relief of the bur ment @ p that % has co conducteS the recent
 The reaction which followed lacked explanation in the news of the day The two movements. in fact. were quite generally recognized as complimentary parts of the same speculative opera ton.
 The skill and address with which the movement fwas conducted gave evi- dence of the experience and resources of the leaders and gave rise to sup- positions that notable old hands at this work were coming back into the mar ket. Dealings continued much con- gested in a few stocks, but the man. ner in which new stocks were made ACIlNe ana SIfOnR to ulNGTI dtIChNASh from realizing sales where the advance has already occurred, strongly recalled the favorite methods of some of the old leaders of speculative movements The success of the method was shown by the moderate effect on prices while the greatest activity was in progress during the first hour. When the re- alizing was detected and the .profes" sional element of the room traders at- tempted tJ follow the movement by short sales, the market fell into dull ness. The profit taking was not push ed urgently at the expense of values. Incidents in the news were unimport- ant in which politics was the subject of active discussion and the approach ing end of the campaign was still held In view as an objective pUnt in the speculation. Evidently. however. 1t was not considered prudent to walt until the last moment to secure profits on the substantial advances, which have occurred in prices, especially with the evidence of the numerous company which will be encountered on that oc- casion, all bent upon the same pur- pose. Advices concerning the copper trade gave some ground for assump- tion of actual betterment of conditions and the prices of the metal were mark ed up again, both here and in London. A story came from London that a DOW. erful combination had been formed amongst American producers Of the metal to maintain prices. Local week. was regarded Rs favorable, and a good | effect was produced by statements of | further orders for equipment by some of the railroad companies. An Item of | the days news that had a cheering in. 1 huence was the purchase of some large | orders of print cloths for future deliV- ! cry from the New England mills. Bonds were irregular. U. S, bonds were un- | changed on call.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Oct. 22.-The cotton market was decidedly more active today and prices ruled higher; the close being very steady at a net advance of 7@l3 points. while total sales were estimated at 800. DOC bales.
 The market opened steady at an advance of one to six points in response to high CT cables, and less favorable weather in the western belt. After showing a net ad- vance of four to eight points on buying by spot interests of near months. and a scat 1ering demand which had accumulated over night, the market reacted three or four points a result of realizing, but later 1irmed up again on the forecast for contin- ued cold wet weather in the western belt and reports of more active spot demand. Prices sold into new high ground for the movement nine to fourteen points net higher during the afternoon and closed within oen to four points of the best. Local spot brokers reported that New England mills were paying an advance of one-quar- ter cent over their offers of yesterday but it did not appear that the interior was fully following the advance in futures. although the markets officially reported were unchanged to 3-16c higher. It is re- ported that cold. wet weather is doing dam age to crops in Northern Texas and Okla homa.
 Receipts at the ports today ss.66s bales, against 44,213 last week and 4l,s52 last year. For the week (estlmated) 0O,00O bales. against 371.O0o last week and 324.s2O last year.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PhoDUcE.

Chicago, Oct. 22-News from Arr gentina was again the chief factor in the local wheat market and caused a less bullish during the final hour. At though all of the gain was not mAin- tained, the market closed firm with prices up 1-4 to 1-2c. Corn, oats and provisions were easy.
 The wheat market was strong all day although sentiment in the pit was les bullissl durin gthe final hour. At the opening the market was influenced by an advance of 5-S to 7-S in Liver pool which was due to lighter offer ings from Argentina and to late dis- patches from Rosario which claimed that damage by frost to the Argentine crop would probably reach as high as 10 per cent. of the total yield. The statement made by a European crop statistician on the amount of wheat to be shipped from Argentina this week. the authority claiming that less than had been indicated by pre- vious advices. An active demand for cash wheat in the Northwest and South west also tended to strengthen the this country which apparently had lit- tie effect early in the day caused some selling late In the session. Rain was again predicted in sections of the win- will promote fall blowing. The market closed firm with December at 99 7-S, and May at 1908 to 1.03 1-S.
 The corn market made little re- sponse to the bulge in wheat and be- came quite weak late in the session, the close being at the bottom point on nearly all deliveries. Rain In the corn belt was not so general as had been predicted and offerings of new corn from interior points were larger than for some time past. Prices at the close were Is to 1-4 to 3-Sc. below the previous close with final quota tions on December at 631-4 and on May at 62 1-2 to 62 5-Sc. Oats were
 firm early in the day owing to gen eral demand. a large part of which buying was said to have been inspired | by talk of deal" in the May delivery | on the part of a leading trader Sell. ing later in the day by this same deal
 er however, dispelled the visions of a
 ''corner" and caused free selling. The
 market closed easy with December al
 47 1-2 Provisions were weaker the | greater part of the day because ot | liquidation brought out by yesterdays | sharp advance. An advance of to 10c. in live hogs seemed to have nc l effect. Prices at the close were Ii | to 12 1-9c. lower.
