SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES. The New
Orleans Bulletin has reviewed the subject
of establishing cotton factory in or near
the city of New Orleans. In discussing its
practicability, it sets forth facts and argu-
ments of general interest in regard to South
ern manufactures. 1t says that, Gin 1910,
the value of cotton manufactures in the five
Southern States-Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
was $1,575,810. In 1850 the value Of
such manufactures had increased to 49,
583,332. The greatest absolute increase
was in Georgia; the value of her manufac-
ed cotton, in 1910, was 1904, 302, while in
1850 it was $2,134, 044. The creates re-
lattice increase, however, was in Alabama
in 1910 her cotton manufactures amounted
in value only to the insignificant sum Of
ST. SAT, while in 1850 they had increased
to 1882, $50, or nearly Seventeen times what
they were in the first named year!

The ATLANTIC H.-Among the

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH the
most deplorable incidents of the great world
since our last issue, has been the loss of a
portion of the Atlantic Telegraph cable, and
the consequent temporary postponement of
the completion of that great enterprise
The cable parted when the feet was $50 miles
from shore, on the morning of the 18th, and
the vessels have returned to England.
At the time the cable broke there was a
heavy swell. The Niagara was going at
the rate of four knots and the engineer find
ing that the cable was running out too fast
for the speed of the ship applied the brakes
more firmly, when the cable parted! \
The Cyclops Immediately returned to
Valentia with Mr.. Field, who fastened to
London to consult with the Directors The
Agamemnon, Niagara and Susquehanna
would remain short time on the spot try
ing experiments in the deep water of that
part of the route, $1,000 fathoms, with a
view to future usefulness, and then return
together to Plymouth. The experience
thus far obtained is considered of great val
ue in the future operations of the company,
who entertain no doubt of the ultimate sue
cess of the undertaking. The company are
now considering whether to make another
effort after the equinoctial gales or wait till
next summer. The impression prevails in
Liverpool that the trial will be renewed in
October.
