Carundum mining is now more exten sive than ever. Plans are being made to restock with long leaf pine the waste lands in the sandy regions in the eastern counties Half a million there can be restocked. the only things necessary being protec tion fjTom fires and hog-s. which destroy the young tree.. tires destroy as much timber as is sold.

THE PROSPECTS FOR THE JEW YEAR rroduction Has ISern a Million Tons Mora During- the Last Half of 1 894 Than ' In the First Six Months An txt-cllent Showing. Chattanooga, Tenn., January 1. In its trade review of the year just past, the Chattanooga Times in speaking- of the iron industry, says : ' The record made in the iron trade in Ten nessee and Alabama for the past year has been most remarkable. Beginning with a dull and low market the first half showed both a small production and a small consumption: while on the contrary, the last half showed a very large productiouand larpe fceusumption. The stocks of coke iron in Tennessee at the close of the year are 150.000 tons less than at the berinnine. while the production is 75,000 tons per week, or 100 iejr cent greater than at the beginning of 1834. The production has been, in round num bers. 1.000.000 tons, or 40 per cent greater the last half of the year than the first half, and prices have declined, and are more than 10 per cent lower than they were twelve months ago. At the present time stocks are accumulating, but it is fair to. presume it is largely owing to the desire on the part of consumers to close out the year with as little iron on hand as pos sible. The course of prices, both in bar iron and steel, has constantly tended downward, and it is not unreasonable to predict that they are at the very bottom, and that from this on the course of prices muit tend upward. It is a well-known fact that pig iron can be bought today, either in Chattanooga or Birmingham, for 10 per cent less than the same grade can be obtained at the most favored points in England. This condition of affairs is of course not nor mal, and can only exist so long as labor is so largely unemployed and must accept unrea sonably low wages or remain idle. 1 r ule Conditions For the Week. New YjOKKi December 29. Brad street's report today says: General trade presents the usual holiday char acteristics. A majority of wholesale dealers and manufacturers are begin ning or have finished taking account of stock or arranging settlements for the new year. Main activity has been for Christmas specialties in retail lines. The practical conclusion of holiday trade has brought abont a moderate re action, and this emphasizes the dull ness noted in preceding weeks. Merchants generally incline to the view that 1895 promises a favorable business, although opinion is divided as to whether renewed activity will mark the early months of the coming year or not. Quotations for staple merchandise show much firmness, with sugar, cot ton, wheat, corn, steel, naval stores. tobacco, tin and copper practically an chaned in price. Coffee is depressed and there are rumors of contracts for iron and Steele at a shade under last weeks quotations, although uncon firmed. Southern cities uniformly report a quiet trade in jobbing lines. Charles ton; Savannah, and Augusta report col lections slow, biit at Nashville, where merchants ''regard the prospects for spring business reasonably good, col lections are fair. Manufactures at At lanta are doing little and Chattanooga jobbers likewise. A moderately improved demand for funds is announced from Memphis, and at New Orleans the only gain is a bet ter feeling in the rice market Galveston notes the exception with an improvement expected shortly after January 1, and with wholesale mer chants in nearly all lines sending out traveler TO HONOR STEVENSON.

L. Glessner, Com. , The Circular. "In view of the great destitution re ported from Nebraska because of the almost total failure of the corn crop, the main dependence of that state, it nas oeen suggested tnai tne soutn con tribute a solid train of corn and meat and ship it to Nebraska to be distrib uted among those in distress. '"Nothing that the south could dp would do more to cement the feelings of friendship between the south and the north and nothing else would so impress the country with the blessings that the south enjoy in the abundance of its supply -of grain and provisions. It would also be a fitting recognition of the generosity shown by the people of the north to the south in its days of distress. "The section traversed by the Geor gia Southern and Florida railroad has been blessed this year with an abund ant crop of corn and its meat houses are well filled. Believing that the peo ple along- its line will gladTy avail themselves of an opportunity to con tribute from their abundance to alle viate the dire distress of those in the northwest, the management of the Georgia Southern and Florida offers to take charge of all contributions and see that they are transported and deliver ed to the proper parties for distribution. All contributions can be left with our agents at any time before Thursday, January 10, 1895, on . which day a car will be sent along the line to take up contributions. , "We earnestly urge upon every one to contribute something to this worthy object, no matter how little. A bushel of corn or a side of bacon can easily ha spared from your abundance, and such a contribution by every one along the line would alleviate the distress of many families. Let us show t6 the world that we appeciate our blessings and with genuine southern' hos pitality stand ready to share them with our less fortunate neighbors. "J. Lane, General Manager. "W. L.

Twenty-five bales of cotton beloning to various "planters were destroyed by fire yesterday morning at the Georgia, Carolina and Northern depot. The fire was discovered about 2 o'clock, and had it not been for a freight train with a crew passing, over three hundred bales would have been destroyed, be sides the new depot and all the adjoin ing warehouses. The origin of the fire is unknown, though some suspect in cendiarism. It is said thieves have been taking cotton by the bale and set the whole lot on fire to hide their tracks. The road is careless in leaving several hundred bales of cotton lying ill round the depot most of the time. This is about the, third fire at this depot. ' Goad Sense of the Japanese. London.
