throughout that section, and the gem
eral opinion that the South has enter
ed on a period OF lasting prosperity. AS
far as is possible to forecast, 1t seems
more than probable that the system OF
diversification will be permanent and
that there will be more grain and food
stuffs raised in proportion to cotton in
the future. The oil and gas industries
much higher prices.
There Is more livestock in the coun-
try at this time than for the same time
last year, despite the unfavorable con-
ditions reported in certain sections In
the Northwest.
The lumber business of the United
States which has seemed dead for sew
eral years, according to the National
chamber report, appears only to have
been sleeping. 1t is improving slowly
throughout the entire country, but es-
pecially in the yellow pine district Of
the South. This is due to increased
orders for exports and to buying by
railroads and car companies. 1t is ex-
pected that during the spring there will
set in buying for homes, and general
revival of business throughout the
country especially outside OF the large
cities is looked for during the first six
months of the coming year. OF all the
so called barometers of business, ac-
cording to the authority quoted above,
there are none so truly Indicative OF
general prosperity as building. 1t is
usually the last industry to feel the
impulse of better times, but it's activi-
ties embrace SO many lines of business
that this effect is general throughout
the country.
