Both North and South Suffering From the Same Causes. In sizing up the cotton mill situation, Col. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, the centre of the cotton mill belt, wb has just returned from a trip to all the cotton railliiij sections of the country, Eaid : "TLa Ne-v England mills are fuflii icr bfccaujo they caanot sell their pro ducts at a profitable price. The ou'h ern mills are underselling them be-cau-o they must. The mills of Nov. rjuslad nni cf ti:3 outh both ne;d bet:?r marhet. jhoie aie sorae conditions in tho ScutU more favorable than in Nctr Enyiaud for the production of cneaper poods. Jf the Competition i3 reduced to that point whero it jh a question of survival tho Southern mills can probably hold out loader. Any improved i:u lnioii v.h..-h puts cotton iu the outhfcru Mae- on a satisfactory basi3 would ul.-u lanho a very satisfactory condition of things in New England. ''England and Germany are Fen '.in;: ships hero to carry away the bulk of our raw cotton to be manufactured in those countries nt profitable price. Our do mestic market will no longer take tho products of all the cotton factories in this country. 'I his is caused bj- the iu ei easing number of factories, and by the drying up of tee domestic markets. "The production of cotton in tho South has reached lot 000,000 bales, 'i he tendency all the time has been to make more cotton at a cheaper puce. We need a revival of fdrippiuj? interest and moie technical and textile schools. A line&chool hasrecently been established at Lowell, Mass., and another in Phil adelphia, and there ia a discussion of tho subject in many parts of tho South. With better technical and practical knowledge both New England and the South will make better poods at cheap er prices, 'lhifl, cf cour.-e, viii have a tendency to extend trade, and will put Us in better position to ship good's to foreign eouutrie?." SKCKKTAKY WILSON COMING. lie Will Visit North and South Caro lina mid Klorida. Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural Department, will leave Washington iu a week or ten days for a visit to the South, hia objectivo points beinp North and South Carolina and Florida. Probably the most of his tirao will bo fpent in tho latter Stale, whero Secretary Wdson wants to look into tho question cf rais in? h'xah crado tobacco. JFo believes rior::1a tc h3 cip-.blo of prodtc g- to bacco almost, if a t t.aite, equal to tho finest produced ia Cuba or Sumatra. If this opinion is borno out, it may vc pult in the purchase and planting, un der government supervision, of foreign tobacco seed, with u view to determine just what may bo accomplished under careful cultivation.

In the UrTglii Yellow and Hurley To baccos There Has lieen a Lare In crease In Acreage and Yield. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson ha.3 authorised the issue iu paraph let form of a j reliminary report upon the soils of the prineip'd tobacco districts in the United Stales prepared by Milton Whitney, chief of the division of soil?. A studj of the?e soils was begua when the tobacco exhibit was being prepared for the Columbian exposition at Chioa go, and since that time a number of typical tobacco eoils have leea exam ined ia the laboratory connected with the agiicultural department. The pres ent pubiicati'.ju, which is copiously lliubtrated, i a prchmiaary leiort of tho work that has boon going ou. The mam points of inquiry which now reach the dejartment aro iu rescrd to tho kind cf tobacco which should bo grown in certain epecilied localities, and the method of curing the product. Beply ing to these questions the report says climate and roii conditions should de termine the kind of tobacco raised. "lho tobacco plant really adapts it self to a great range of ciimatic condi tions; it will grow on nearly all kinds of Hoil, and has a comparatively short season of growth. It cuu, therefore, as a matter of fact, be grown ia nearly ail parts of the country, even where wheat and corn cannot be economically lioduced. But while tobacco can bo so univereallv giowu, the flavor and quality fifths leaf are greatly influenced by the conditions of climate aud soil. A nondescript tobacco is not worth growing and should not be grown, as it lowers the 1 rice of really good types of tobacco, to the detriment alike of groy ers and consumers. It is important, therefore to understand what kinds of tobacco are iu demand, and what the climatic and soil comhtious are which will most easily produce the qualities desired." A glance at tho table giving changes in the production of tobacco from 1ST;; to IS.s.i shows that in this period of V years the acreage and yield of the cigar tobaccos have been very considerably increased. 'Jhe manufacturing and ex port districts cannot be sharply separ ated, as ,; tU fcl-vlsof tot.nooo are fre quently grown in the same district and the same kind is frequently used for both purposes. On the whole there has been a considerable decrease iu the acreage and yield. With the bright yel low and bur ley tobacco i there has been a large increaso in both aci cage and yield. Since 18S'J there has been con siderable changes iu mauyof these dis tricts, while other new districts, nota bly Texas and California, aro coming into considerable pioniinence, both a; to the area under cultivation and the excellent quality of the product raised. Tho acreage in Florida has dso been very gaeatly increased siuce lSsli, but there are no re'iabie statistics to show the extent of the changes in the coun ties making up the tobacco distiict. Some attention is devoted to the ques tion of meteorological conditions as aueetiug the industry in the great to bacco legions of this country. Cuba and Sumatra, ".("he plant," theiO; ut continues, "is far more seusitne to tnese meteorological conditions than our instruments. Even iu such a fain ous tobacco region as Cuba tobacco of good quality cannot be grown in the immediate vicinity of the ocean or in certain parts of the inland, even on what would otherwise be considered tobacco land. This is the experience also in Sumatra aud in our own country, but tho influences are too subtle to be de tected by cur meteorological instru ment. " TORRID II FAT.

The value of Southern exports t New York is illustrated by a Bhipinert cf sheeting which recently arrived at the metropolis for loading on ship board. It consisted of 1,000 bales and was placed on board a coasting steamer at Charleston to be reloaded at New York for Shanghai. This ia only a por tion of the consignment of Southern goods sent to the different markets f the world through New York which will be shipped direct from Southern ports, as steamship owners and agents realize the opportunit .es for direct lines from cities along the South Atlantic and Gulf coast.
