STATES.

These figures show an increase Of over
one hundred per cent. In the spindles and
looms since 1880. The mills now under
construction and those for which the
money has been secured, and upon which
work will shortly bs commenced, and the
additions to tho plants Of old mills will
require, as shown by the report 242, 600
spindles and AS)0 looms. Thus by the
end of 1888 the South will have in opers.
ton about 1,7c6,000 spindles, and assoc
looms.
The increase Of over hundred per cent.
in spindles and looms is especially notice
able when 1t Is remembered that the in.
crease in the balance Of the country dur
Ing the same time was only twenty per
cent.
Tho reports from the Southern cotton
mills show that the aggregate value Of the
product in 1887 was forty-three million
dollars against twenty ono millions in 1880.
The Record says the best possible proof
of the advantages Of the South for cotton
manufacturing 10 the experience of those
in the business, and this experience is
best shown in the constant enlargement
of mills in operation. All through the
South old mills are charging aud putting
in new machinery.

London.
New York, Feb. 2.-The cargo Of 100
tons Of Demerara which was ordered to-
London yesterday from the Delaware
breakwater, because no bid could be had
for it from the members Of the sugar trust,

shipping merchants, Of No. Is Broadway.
At the Office Of the firm it was learned that
while q bid had been received from Phila-
delphia, which was considered too low, NO
bid whatever could be obtained from tho
New York refners. 1t was also stated that
o great amount Of sugar, not only from
Brasil but Havana, Barbados and else
where. which had originally been pur-
chased for the United States. had. during.
the past three months, been shipped to
London instead. This included 10000 bags
OF Pernsmbuco sugar which had already
been consigned to dealers hero, but which
was transferred to London consignees as
soon as the operations OF the sugar trust.
