Southern iron coal and cotton to lead world supply
An article in Manufacturers' Record argues the south will dominate iron coal cotton and corn production in a coming generation. It cites Clinton ore near Birmingham and Bessemer ore, asserts costs will drop, and predicts U S iron output doubling and vast gains in corn and cotton. The piece notes rising southern mill activity and plans for new mills. In New York the pneumatic tube mail service ends due to congressional underfunding.

A warship move could resolve the matter within 24 hours, a tactic previously offered to France and Italy. Press criticism provokes irritation at the Yildiz kiosk.

SHORT COTTON CROP SEEN AS SEED SHORTAGE HITS GEORGIA
Colonel H. Bussey, a leading crop expert, says a large cotton crop likely cannot be produced this year in Georgia and Alabama. Rain has washed hillsides and rotted seeds in bottoms, forcing replanting and creating a seed shortage across the cotton belt. If rains continue, many overflowed lands may stay unplanted and dry enough preparation could be delayed for weeks.
