GEORGIA TOBACCO
CROP NEAR MARKET
Selling Season for New Product
Will Start on Next

ATLANTA, Ga, July 26.-Georgia
bright leaf tobacco growers and buyers
awaited today for the opening gong OF
the marketing season Tuesday when the
sing-song voice of the auctioneer will
rumble through % South Georgia towns
with expectancy of bringing $i5,000,00
into the pockets of the farmers.
Tobacco experts predict one of the
best sales seasons in years. The crop
is not as large as last year when co.
743, $40 pounds of leaf we're sold, bring
ing into the State $16,672, 780.27, but it
is of finer quality.
The farmer has learned, Federal and
State officials say, that better quality
pays more than greater quantity.
Fifty-SiX warehouses In the State
were ready today for the 1880 crops
with the dedication at Moultrie this
afternoon Of that city's second ware
house.
Triton, Douglas and Saxley, past
leaders in tobacco sales, are expected
to again head the market.
South Georgia growers are reported
to be more optimistic than in some time
and business men say they have already
felt the coming of prosperous season.

STEEL PRODUCTION
IS HOLDING STEADY
Seasonal Increase During the
Autumn Is Hoped for in
Trade Circles.
special pispatcn 70 The star.


PITTSBURGH July 26.--Steel ingot
production has been practically steady
in the last two ore three weeks at Sc
to 81 per cent of capacity. No increase
of any consequence is expected and
there is not much chance of decrease,
but. on the other hand. when there is
a decided seasonal increase for Autumn
there are usually more signs of it at
this date than can be seen at present.
Predictions in the steel trade of ar
Improvement are not very strong. Some
are for the near future, based on pure
ly seasonal considerations: others are
far later in the year, based on general
business improvement.
Substantially all the steel companies
will show a decrease in earnings from
first quarter to second. but the de-
creases are quite likely to appear inco-
herent, for the reason that the steel
companies make different proportions of
the various finished steel products, and
these products have behaved quite diff
ferently in the market. While informa-
ton as to earnings in individual lines
of manufacture is strictly secret, it is
safe to say that of late among the most
profitable lines have been rails, pipe
ana ClI1 pldUe.
Rail production decreased from first
to second quarter, while the other two
lines increased. If a company were
making rails exclusively 1t would show
an increase, if pipe or tin plate ex-
clusively an increase bars, shapes,
plates and sheets would all show de-
creases, partly on account of tonnage
and partly on account of price. The
steel corporations showing would be
typical of the steel industry as whole
except for the point that the corpora
ton has special earnings during the
season of lake navigation.
AS to the sum total in steel, the half
years production was Is per cent I'M
der the first half of last year, end now,
with July light MONTH producing
ingots at only a shade over SIS per cent,
the loss from last year is growing, since
last July had very heavy production.
The divergence from the usual sea-
sonal thing was with last July rather
than with this July, which is only a
little duller than would be expected
relative to such activity as there was
during the first half of the year.

that the worst of the commodity price

further ease in interest rates and con-

Consumption continued in excess Of

Prison Reform Up in the Air

After getting their second breath, the senate put
over the Beck location bill which IS not only a pro
g~ressive prison reform bill but It's friends say that
IL is a model Of its kind.
Then the house CROPPED in the darkness for a while
and BY the same old stiff-necked majority enacted the
Graves bill which has the support Of James E. Fer
guson and most Of the political malcontents found
near the big dome.
1t is getting late in the legislative day, and the
gamblers are betting that the policy known as keep
ing the rat holes open" IS as firmly intrenched as i
was az the beginning or the special session. Its back
ers are up in the air and the opponents Of keeping the

Isn't it a shame to pay the governor Of this en-
pire commonwealth $4,000 a year and a county Of
ficer $1250O in counties Of 10000 and over?
Regardless Of this defect, the law is a step in the
