VII03PEROU8 SOUTHERN CITIES According to the Chicago Tribune asoutbern cities have progressed won sBerfully during the last two or three year. New Orleans has shown improve ment in many lines in cotton, (Train, coffee, sugar, rice, and lumber; in for eign Imports and export; in receipts of produce and in return trade; and in Ihe coastwise traffic. Financial pros perity has been even greater than com nxircial. The output of manufactures has leen largely increased, more has been done in building than for many years pant, and a great system for draining and purifying the city has tieen inaugurated, which has been made -possible by the public spirited women of that city. During the year two rail roads have established terminals there. it has become the cotton center of the ountry; has regained the coffee trade f the Mississippi Valley; doubled its flour trade; gained over twelve per cent, in the foreign export trade, and .thirty-two per cent, in bank clearings, which were $8.r9,472,HVi for the year dosing September Ut. Galveston tells the same encourag ing story of advancing prosperity, it bas moved into third place among ex porting cities of the country. Its eu torus receipts increased lit per cent over last year, and its export value 5,000,000 over 1902 and $7,000,000 over 3901. Ita coastwise trade has more Shan doubled. Its elevator capacity Am increased to more than 4,000,000 sbushels, and it bas 63 lines of steam 'ships to foreign ports. One of the moat remarkable illustrations of its enterprise is the manner in which it fhaa recovered from the disaster of September 8, 1900. It was the general opinion ait that time that it was doubt -ful whether Galveston could ever re--cover, and that the attempt should he abandoned, as the city was liable lo an inundation at any time. The people of Galveston did not share the .general opinion. They not only reso utely aet to work to rebuild on the old site, but to make a safer city by taking precautions against another in vasion of the tea. A great aea wall is "being constructed to extend a little -more than three miles along the ocean front of the elty. It rests upon a con crete bed laid over piling driven down to clay foundation, sixteen feet thick at tbe base and five feet at the top, with a riprap-of granite rocks to pro tect tbe foundation. 'The wall will rise seventeen feet above mean low water and nearly two feet above the highest -point reached by the water in the hur xksan of three years ago. When it is finished the city will be graded up to the height of the wall and will then rise seventeen feet above the ocean. New Orleans and Galveston are not the only fortunate southern cities. Cheering reports of prosperity comes rom all the industrial centers -Meru-sphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Birming ham, Savannah, Mobile and Charles ton. They are making great strides head, which of Itself must invite clos er commercial relations with the north and larger investments of northern capital. This may conduce toward Abetter social and political conditions I lut year, aud h increased tier pur chae from us lens than 2 million dol lars in a decade, we have increased , our importations of goatskins alone from 2 million dollars in 1HU2 to 7 million dollars in 11HJ2. From Brazil, which has reduced her imports from the United States from 15 million dol lars in 1HH.' to 10 million dollars in 1IN13, our purchases of goatskins last year were U million dollars. France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia, Arabia, China, southern Africa, Argentina, and Mexico also contribute liberally to the supply of goatskins to make up the 25 million dollars' worth of that product brought into tbe United States annually. Now, if there is so much money to be made from the raising of goats why should that industry be spurned' Goats are not hard to raise: for they are reputed to be able to digest any thing they run across. While the farmer is looking out for a money making occupation he should not pass lightly over the goat industry.' CHAHMLD A DUKE. Mlaa Mar Oorlrt. Wb la Wat Hla Urnrr of Hoibarikt.

Government reports tell us that im IportatioQ of goatskins into the United States are now running at the rate of S3 million dollarsoer annum, and that m large share of these are brought ffrom India, China, Arabia, and south eastern Russia. Tbe increasing pop ularity of certain classes of kid leath aw for footwear, as well as gloves, has Aocreased very greatly the demand for goatskins in the United States within arecent years.
