Of Current Business.
Charleston.-With several more or
less perplexing factors entering into
the situation, the outlook for the fer.
tilizer industry in Charleston, as well
as In the South generally, is regarded
as problematicsl, but on the whole It
can be stated tahat this Industry,
which is one OF Charleston's most i'm.
portant, has passed the worst period
OF the, depression which struck 1t
with full force last year, and is now
cropping its way to more hopeful
condition. One local fertilizer man In
of the opinion that the business this
year will In volume be approximately
the same as last year, when just about
half the normal business was done.
The session of fertilizer shipments
usually commences here about Janu.
airy ] to January Is. but this year it is
not expected to open until at least
February 1. With few exceptions, the
local factories have been closed since
last March, a few being temporarily
in operation now. The factories have
adopted a very Conservative policy in
manufacturing and are producing not
beyond what Is required to take care
OF current business. 1t has been a
number Of months since acid phos-
phate, one OF the most important OF
fertilizers, has been manufactured and
II the demand for thfs product Is as
great as last year, there is likely to
be a shortage. The stocks on hand
at present in the factories consist. al.
most entirely OF raw products.
: The business this season will he
regulated by two main factors-the
demand fer fertilizers and credit
standing OF those who would pur-
chase. { A number OF farmers tried
last year to dispense with the fer.
tilizers. but the unsatisfactory results
are expected to bring soil foods back
to the use. On the other hand. some
farmers. owing to the boil weevil sit
uation. will probably not wish to re.
quire the usual fertilizer. There Is
thus uncertainty existing, but from
the standpoint OF the factories. there
is no question but that the worst is
over. Naturally there is a tendency
to be somewhat gloomy - when one
contrasts the prosperity which famed
up during the famous war era, and
fertilizer men locally did not antici.

JOHN BULL HIMSELF AGAIN.

Again John Bull may sit back com things are we'll England is conserva- tive again. Bonar Law, leader of that party, will feel that there is quite a comfortable majority in the House of Commons back of him. Former Premier Lloyd George has, on the face of things. only some fifty faith full upon whom he will be able to rely, and it seems that there is some doubt what he will be able to do except criticize at present for he will not unite with the Labor party which seems to be next in power to the Conservatives. And in the mat ter of criticism there will not be a great deal of nourishment. The Coalition government was used in the time of war and did very good job, thank you. Bonar Law is too astute statesman not to recognize it's excel- lence in many particulars. It is be- lieyed he will hew pretty straight to the line followed by that government and it is not believed Lloyd George will find many reasons for differing from him.
 But John Bull must feel bit un- comfortable, as he sips that port. to know that members of the Labor party are peeping in at the window at him-are the strongest opponents Of His Majesty's government. It is a rare condition in England to have tho Labor party bearing the dignity of the so-called Opposition. Austen Chamberlain predicted that Labor was menace in England. The fear subsided until just after the election just held. Now 1t looms up again,
