Mills Spindlesl Looms,
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 be commenced, and the
additions to the plants of old mills will
require, as shown by the report, 242, 00C
spindles and 4. 800 looms. Thus by the
end of 1888 the South will have in opera
ton about 1,736,000 spindles, and &C, soc
looms.
The increase of over hundred per cent
in spindles and looms is especially notice
able when it is remembered that the in
crease in the balance of the country dur
ing the same time was only twenty per
cent.
The reports from the Southern cotton
mills show that the aggregate value of the

The Record says the best possible proof

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 and putting
in new machinery.
