The Prospering South.
The indications for "a season of great
activity Ia the trade and manufacturing
interests of: the South are exceedingly
favorable. Rarely, if ever before, has
the prospect been SO promising. The
corn and cotton crops Of 1887 were the
largest ever produced in the South, and,
as good priceswere realized, the farmers
found themselves at the beginning of
1883 in q much better financial condition
than for many years: Blessed as the
farmers Of the South were last year with
abundant crops, present indications point
to a season Of still greater agricultural
prosperity: The yield Of fruit and vege-
tables has been unprecsdentedly heavy,
and the shipments North have taxed the
carrying capacity Of the railroads. The
yield Of fwheat in most Of the Southern
States, especially in those in which it is
q leading crop, such IS Maryland, Yir-
ginia,, Tennessee, &C.. has been phenom,.
enally large, and the aggregate yield for
the South will doubtless be the greatest
on record. Moreover, the: shortage in the
Western wheat crop has enhanced values,
and Southern farmers are obtaining
much better prices than q year ago. The
acreage of corn and cotton is unusually
heavy, greater even than in 1887, when
the largest crops ever raised.in the South
were:p produced, and so far in the season
|:theiindications point to larger yields also
than last year. The corn crop is almost
made and this year the Southern farmers
will have less Western corn to buy than
for many years. IL. fact, the South, will
almost be self supporting in the corn
line While the cotton crop has many
dangers yet to meet, its condition up to
the present is almost all that could be
asked, aud it is only reasonable to look
fora good crop, with strong probability
Of d yield equalliDg even the splendid
outturn Of 1887. The cotton manufac.
turing interests of the entire world are
in such hourishing condition that the
heavy crop f1S87 has been absorbed at
good prices and stocks are smaller than
even q year ago. Under these circum.
stances it is but fair to look for con-E
5tinued active demand atproftable prices

produce this year, even if We should
again have a 200, 900. bale crop.
The prosperous condition of the agri:y
cultural interests. is, however, only one of
the features ofSthe brilliant promise Of
the South. Two years ago millions sof
dollars we're in vested in the building of
new furnaces, founderies, rolling mills and
kindred enterprises. Many OF these great
enterprises have been under construction,
yielding no profits, but virtually locking
up all the money thus invested. Now
they are all getting into operation. and
before 1888 ends there will be such an
enormous production of manufactures in
the South as would have seemed impos.
sible Eve years ago. From mines and
furnaces, rolling mills and founderies,
carworEs and pipe works, cotton mills,
wood working establishments ard indus.
trial enterprises of almost every variety,
millions Of dollars worth of manufac.
tuIed goods are being turned out to help
swell the tide Of Southern prosperity;
ssAll Of this is creating vast amount of
profitable employ yment for laborers, and
the South is rapidly becoming a hive of
industry. Heretofore thousands and tens
of thousands were idle for greater part
of the year, because there was no work
to do; employment could not be had.
Now there is:wnrk for all in many parts
Of the South, and the Industrial develop.
