Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 23.-The new industries organized in the south during the week ending today as re- ported by The. Tradesman indicate perhaps better than anything that could be said, that the improved con- dlt1on is fact and not theory A gradual betterment has been noted since the first of the year that is now mere pronounced and of ,- nature that encourages the belief that with the opening Of spring ccndi CTS will be more nearly normal than they have been for several years. The Tradesman weekly report of new in- dustries which follows. shows the or. ga'-dzation of some specially large and important companies; notably $1O0,- 900 lumber company in Arkansas; $25O,OOO bank and $25O.OOO mining and manufacturing company in Kentucky, $1OO,O00 lumber company in Georgia; $l0O.00O light and traction company in

Pine Bluff was selected as the an nual meeting place for the Arkansas Daughters of the American Revolu- tion in 1912. Now is the time to be- gin to clean our streets and beautify property generally. This city ought to show the Arkansas ladies' the most beautiful city to be found anywhere im the South, from point of appear ance. Pine Bluff is naturally an at tractively laid out city, but without a City Beautiful movement, which has been advocated for years by the Graphic with some good results, it looks like the back alley of some big tenement district.

 Sam Too Tender.

 Senator Taylor. of Tennessee: If as many negroes were migrating to the South as Japanese are migrating to the Western coast, I would say I oppose the treaty"
 Senator Bristow, of Kansas: q shall first satisfy myself that the Western coast will be safe guarded from an infhx of Orientals before I vote for the treaty. However, I have the assurances of several senators and the State Deparment that these 'Nterests are amply safe guarded by the pending treaty"
 Senator Gore, of Oklahoma: Our government has been too tender with the JapeCese on this question of im- migration. I think we ought to be more firm and frank with Japan. My vote will he cast according to the wishes of the people of the West If they do not want the treaty ratified, shall oppose it.
 Senator Owens. of Oklahoma: q am for the treaty. I think the ques- tioc of immigration can be regulated by means of diplomatic agreements"

WIRE PRODUCTS ADVANCE
81 A TON MARKET FEATURE

CLEVELAND. o., Jan. 26.-The Iron
Trade Review today says: The ad
vance of 81 a ton in the price of all wire
products; the withdrawal of low quota
tons on spikes, which represents an
advance of practically 81 q ton; the
placing of tho New York Central rail
orders, aggregating 176, $50 tons; the ac-
ceptanee of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's rail orders by the steel com
panies; heavier specifications and more
general inquiry for all finished steel
products, are the principal develop
ments in the iron and steel market
during the past week.
While 1t was generally expected that
the total bookings in January would
be comparatively light, some steel com
panies report that orders entered on
mill books during the first twenty-three
days of this month exceed those of the
corresponding period in December. In
addition to the heavier specifications,
some strictly new business is appear
Ing and orders are coming from a
greater number of sources. One OF the
encouraging features is the fact that
the railroads are specifying more liber-
ally against contracts and buying from
this source, although confined to small
lots, is more general. The general adj
In the price of wire products,
although a distinct surprise to the trade,
has been well received and is expected
to induce early specifying and have q
beneficial influence on general market
conditions.

ON MEMS CLOTHES
ARE SURE TO Go HIGHER.
Heavyweight Goods Showing
Upward Tendency.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Advances are
gradually being named on heavyweight
men's wear fabrics. and the tendency
in many quarters ie now distinctly to-
ward higher prices. Where low prices
were named at the opening. selling
agents are readjusting prices, n IN
every instance the REIMBURSEMENT Is In
an upward direction. UP to date the
orders which have come forward on
serges mi fancy ~overcoatings have re-
suited in prices being placed on a
higher basis, with advances IN fancy
overcoatings ranging from "a to 6
cents. according to the value of the
goods.
The situation on serges seems to be
rather mixed. In some quarters the
low opening prices have brought out
good orders, and in others demand has
not been up to expectations. 1t Is a
little early as yet to say what the final
results will be, as prices vary consider
ably, and In some cases differ anywhere
from 5 to as much as 1919 cents & yard.
! Up to date II IL stated that the Ameri-
can Wooden Company has secured the
bulk of the business placed, but what
developments of the next week or two
| will bring forth 1t Is more than diff
cult to say.
A long-awaited opening of fancy suit
ings has taken place, and the trade is
not very much wiser h a 1t was re-
garding the future. Prices announced
by the American Wooden Company con-
vey very little information to the trade,
especially where 1t was believed h a
prices would show reductions similar
to those named on serRes.
