 BIG MODERN STILL

Dothan, March 6.-(Speeial)-offi- cers have raided and destroyed by far the largest still ever found in Houston county. It was located 100 yards from the Florida line, and about three miles from Graceville.
 The still was the most complete and modern of any in the county. It was equipped with a concrete furnace, and would accommodate 100 gallons of liquor at one time. It had a 32-foot "thumper" and 15-foot copper worm. One hundred and seventyfive gallons of beer were found near it, and con sequently destroyed. The still was a little too awkward and massive to transport back to town so it was put out of commission with dynamite and club-ax.
 It is thought that dispute among the stockholders was the direct cause Of it's discovery. Officials have been unable to determine just who the stockholders are, and no arrests have been made

 GENERALLY HEALTHY
 Business distress, everything consid- cred, is moderate Failures reported by Dun's in February totaled 1.641, much greater than during the corresponding month of the boom years but comparing to 2,27S in February, 1915. The strength of our financial system and the work of the banks in preventing greater dis tress is just being appreciatde; for ex- ample, in the fur trade, where it is generally known that heavy bank bor- rowings were involved, bankers com mittee has so regulated the liquidation of stocks that prices at the St. Louis auction during the past fortnight have recovered 10 to 25 per cent from the levels prevailing at the New York auctions last fall
 The liquidation of bank loans goes on steadily, the total loans of the federal reserve banks are now approximately W per cent under the peak reached in Oc- tGter Of the total loans of the New York clearing house banks it is said that only i per cent represents dis tressed' credits which had to be extend- ed when they fell due.

 Reductions in the pay of their unskiiied labcrers are contemplated by the eastern railroads. The number of unoccupied freight cars in the country on February 23 had reached 423, ,193, but it is evident that this figure is not true measure ot the amount of freight moving, for the cars in use are being moved so much more rapidly than they were few months ago that they are the equivalent of possibly 50 per cent larger number The weeks bank clearings reported to Bradstreets also show how well trade is being maintained. for even at present day prices they are only 19.1 per cent less in dollars, than year ago. when the European uncertainty is settled ana the confidence replaced which funoa- mental conditions justify, the recovery of both our foreign and domestic trace sbotI1d he rApid

SOUTHWEST STRONG

Steady improvement is reported from the automobile centers. ]. G. Culbertson, president of the Wichita Motors company, of Wichita, Tex, wrote me last week as follows: Business conditions are steadily improving, and I believe that March and April will be better. Our foreign busi- ness is showing healthier tone. We have received considerable business from Mexico and inquiries from all parts of the world indicate better possibilities. Our domestic trade has shown remarkable re- covery during the past 10 days. look for steady improvement
 It would be possible to carry this catalog of favorable barometric indications to greater length, but there arc evidences that in some quarters readjustment did not come early enough to keep pace with the leaders in liquidation and the situa- ton is uneven. City prices evidently still lag behind country buying power, for the February sales of the leading Chicago mail order houses showed declines not only from February, 1920. but from Janu- ary, 1921, also. The United States Steel corporation is being widely criticised for it's failure to reduce prices. and the Steel market naturally remains dull be- cause everyone knows that further re- adjustments must be made. This delay helps in turn to postpone building, there tby staf ting little vicious circle of de- 'creased employment and lessened pur- chasing power which is duplicated in s~xae other industries. The coal trade is
