The Tradesman Gives Interesting
Summary Of Business In
Various Lines.

The Yuletide season brought the
retail hardware dealers of the South
just what they had asked Kris Krin-
gle for-the best business seas
son they had experienced for sew
eral years, says The Tradesman this
week. Business with retailers was
better the two weeks proceeding
Christmas day than it has been since
the holiday season of 1906. Jobbers,
however, had filled most of their or
ders and were content to have the re-
taller do the work. Many retailers
who bought heavily for the holiday.
have wired their jobbers that they
were pretty well cleaned out and will
be in the market early in January,
so the jobber is smiling even though
he is confronted with the troublesome
stock-taking task.
This week jobbers and all Of the
hardware clan will be busy preparing
for the inventory. but when this is
finished business will probably take
another bound and seek some lively
basis for the coming year.
Jobbers who have long been in the
Southern trade give the opinion that
the coming year will be far more sat-
isfactory than the one just closing
and manufacturers profess to coincide
with this view. Following the pros
porous season for the retailer this
rule can hardly fail to work. Inqui
ries indicate that the spring trade
will start early, especially for the
jobber, and that class of the hard
ware fraternity is already preparing
for the retailer this rule can hardly
fail for the season. There will prob
ably be no changes in quotation until
at least the middle of January.

BIRD NOTES.

To the Cuckoo.
o blithe newcomer! I have heard,
hear thee and rejoice;
o Cuckoo! shall call thee bird,
Or but wandering voice?
While l am lying on the grass
Thy twofold shout I hear;
From hill to hill it seems to pass,
At once far of and near.
Even yet thou art to me
No bird but an invisible thing
A voice, mystery.
The same whom in my school-boy
days
listened to; that cry
Which made me look thousand ways
In bush, and tree, and sky.
To seek thee did 1 often rove
Through the woods and on the
And thou art still hope, love;
Still long'd for, never seen!
And I can listen to thee yet;
Can lie upon the plain;
And listen till do beget
That golden time again.

Again appears to be
An unsubstantial. fairy place,
That Is at home for thee.

The Trademarks resume of the
week with cotton says: Southern
cotton manufacturers are facing a Sc
rious situation. 1t seems to be the
general impression that prices of raw
material will not fall lower than pres
ent quotations, and indications point
to still further increases. One manu-
facturer expressed the situation in a
nut shell when he said that at IA
cents for raw cotton mills could only
make bare profit at present quota
lions on cotton goods. and having to
buy at a higher figure, they could
only run at loss. Some mills have
supplies Of cotton sufficient to run for
some time but those having to buy
to fill present requirements are facing
the necessity of closing down unless
there is speedy improvement in the
prices for manufactured goods. Real
izing this the mill men have decided
to meet in Charlotte on January 4, to
consider plans for bringing about an
improvement in prices. Secretary T.
W. Crews, of the Southern Hard Yarn
Spinners Association, has just issued
a call in Charlotte, N. c., at date men
toned, and there is every indication
that the meeting will be largely at
tended. 1t is believed this is the
most important meeting of the manu-
facturers held this season, and it is
probable some definite plans of con-

Prices remain steady, as is usually

hardwood are confidently expected in
January. With the pine mills the
chief hope for the winter is in rail-

BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN
The SOUTHERN STATES

ces held in this city within the last
two or three weeks, the undersigned
have deemed it advisable to issue this
call for a general meeting of Southern
cotton yarn manufacturers and the
commission houses through which
they deal, with the object in view of
discriminating knowledge as to pres
ent conditions, and the advisability
of arranging a more uniform sched-
ule of prices. The conditions sur
rounding cotton manufacturers at this
time are such that it is believed a
general exchange of views among
manufacturers cannot prove but bene-
fetal to all who attend this meeting.
You are thereby urgently requested
to have representative of your mill
attend the meeting in Charlotte JAN
uary 4, next at 10 o'clock a. m, at
the county court house. This invita-
ton is being forwarded to all manu-
facturers Of cotton yarns in the South.

Kindly acknowledge this communica-
ton by addressing Mr.. T. w. Crews
secretary, Charlotte, N. c., and advise
as to whether or not it will be the
pleasure of your company to have a
representative attend the meeting as
arranged above.
Yours very truly,
T. w. CREWS, Secretary"
Over forty prominent manufacture
ers have answered the call, and will
be in attendance; also there will be
many commission men from New
York, Philadelphia, Providence, Bos-

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED

PORTANT RULINGS OF THE IN

SION.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, March 7.-Twice today
the supreme court of the United
States annulled important orders of
the Interstate commerce commission
because the commission had exceeded
its authority. One of the orders re-
quired the Northern Pacific railway
to join competing railroads in estab:
fishing through route and joint rates
from the east to Puget Sound points.
In this case the court held the rail
road maintained a satisfactory or
reasonable route. and as long as this
route existed, the commission could
not require the road to join with an
other.
In the other decision it was held
that the commits sion did not have the
power to require a railroad subject
to the interstate commerce commits
sion's order. to grant a connection
with a branch railroad upon complaint
of the branch railroad itself.
