BOOM FOR SOUTHERN TRADE.
Opportunity Offered Following the
Panama Canal Opening.

President Finley of the Southern Rail-
way Company and the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad Company, referring yesterday to
the organization at Atlanta, Ga, Decem-
Der II OF the Southern Panama Canal
ton to work for the development of trade
between the southern states and the mar
kets that will be brought into closer rela-
tons with the south Atlantic and gulf
ports by the opening of the Panama ca
nal. said:
1T is the hope of those who participated
in the formation of this organization that
it may prove to be an efficient agency for
co-operation with manufacturers and mer-
chants throughout the southeastern states
and with all the south Atlantic and gulf
ports for the building up of a large and
profitable business with the Latin Amer
lean countries.
The people. of those countries produce
large quantities of commodities consumed
in the United States and are constantly
buying increased quantities of commodi-
ties that can successfully be produced in
the southeastern states.
LAS illustrating the fact that this traffic
can successfully be moved through SOUTH
ern ports 1 may mention that there are
now regular steamships sailing from the
port of Mobile to Montevideo and BuenOs
Aires and that these vessels carry full
cargoes on each trip.
1.-The possibilities for the development of
trade with the Latin American countries
are SO great as TO open opportunities to
other southern ports as we'll as to Mobile,
and 1t is the purpose OF the southern Pam
anna Canal Conference and the railways I
have the honor to represent to be helpful
as far as practicable in the building up Of
this business.

The immigration commission finds much
cause for congratulation on the way the
foreigner, generally speaking, takes an
interest in the schools, and is ambitious
that his children should learn to read
and write. While in the congested dis
tricts this tendency is not as marked as
it is in communities having only a normal
foreign population, even in those districts
the children are given at least an elemen-
tary education. And where they have
grown up and become the fathers and
