LOUISVILLE, kENTuCKY.-1he TRENDS OF Louis
Vile never had more 10 rejoice her pros
pcrity than at the present time She has been adj
vancing for several years with constantly accee-
rating pace, but her prospects have never been as
fair as they are now. Business Of all kinds is re-
markably brisk, our manufacturers are constantly
engaged and our population lie receiving accessions
beyond all precedent
In 1910 the population Of Louisville, according to
the census of that year. under twenty -one thou
sand. Now il is at least fifty thousand. We sec
no to suppose that this ratio OF increase will
fall Oh. On the contrary, we shall not be surprised
II the annual increase in population shall here
after be over fifteen per cent the average increase
of the last ten years. The manufacturing interests
of our city are increasing and extending very rap
idly, and Louisville will probably at no distant pc
Rod rank high for the extent and value Of her man
ufactures among the cities of the West. The man
uacturers of Louisville fast rendering her indie
pendent of the manufacturers Of other cities in the
East and in the West. More than this, the vast
market of the southwestern States is beginning TO
receive supplies from this city, and, as Louisville
enjoys unsurpassed facilities and advantages for
the comma nd of that most extensive and valuable
market, predict that she will soon compete sue
cessfully for asceudency in IL.
The mercantile and commercial interests OF LOUIS
vile very extensive and valuable. The busi-
ness Of the States Of the West and Southwest has
been large this season
largo number Of new houses are now in pro-
grcss Of erection in this city. We have no doubt
that there will be more houses built here during the
present season than were built in any former
season. Houses are much needed, and il is very
difficult for persons who wish TO secure houses 70
do So II two thousand houses were put up here
this year. IL Is entirely probable that every one Of
them would be occupied by the first of next Janu.
