(Atlanta Constitutions }

Looking back just one year. the
late itself upon the revolution which
has taken place in conditions sur
rounding the market for cotton and,
logically, therefore, as to those re-
latlng 10 business generally.
One year ago brought the end OF
the first month Of the European war.
The stock and cotton exchanges were
closed, the financial world had been
stampeded and business generally
was in chaos. Cotton which little
more than a month before had been
selling at IL cents or more, dropped
suddenly to almost half the price.
In the beginning of this financial
cataclysm the South was floundering,
knowing not where to turn. The
cotton States were pictured as stand
ing upon the curbstone with hat in
hand, in the humiliating attitude of
beggary, destitution and desolation.
The most dire predictions were made
cotton to Europe were at an end.
Business in every line was affect
ed; buying was cut to a minimum;
travelling men remained at home;
mills, shops and factories Of all sorts
curtailed their output and reduced
their forces; railroads laid off their
hands by the thousand. and the South
throughout its length and breadth
was reduce; 20 2 basis of economy
such as it had scarcely known before
even in panic periods.
What really happened was, as
gradual readjustment came about,
that we shipped approximately as
much cotton as during the year be-
fore, and with every business settled
upon the basis OF rock bottom econ
omy, conditions began slowly but
substantially to improve.
Providence came to the rescue as
it often does, assisting even well in.
tenuoned crop curtailment, so that
to-day we have crop Of something
like 100000 bales less than that of
1914. This crop difference practi-
cally equalizes the surplus carried
over from last year, and to-day our
cotton is selling at above cents.
Never in the history Of the South
has crop Of cotton been raised as
cheaply as that of 1915. Fertilizer
expense was reduced 40 per cent or
more; labor and implements and
mules, and, in fact, everything that
enters into the making of the cror
cost les. Lhnn MrNl...-N.

So pathetic were the speakers words that many an eye in the hall was dimmed with tears

 Petrograd. May 29, via London Russian army officers assert that the victory of Emperor Nicholas troops tt Sieniawa on the San N in central Galicia, has offset the success of the gAustro-Ge forces at Radymno and Gousskow. At Radymno the Germans occupied territory on the right bank of the San extending five miles east and an equal distance south of this village. East of Gousskow they advanced short distance in the direction of Lemberg. According to military opinion here, however, the advance of separate and isolated groups of German forces cannot re- suit in material progress toward Lem- berg, while the whole left flank of the German army operating between the vistula and the Carpathians is being pressed back by the Russians along the line from Sieniawa to the mouth of the San.
 In this region the Russian forces threaten the German rear from the north.
