Assssssf ral4Gt On
THE NEW SOUTH.

BALrMoRr. Md, Dec. 2O-Mr r. II.
Edmunds. the editor OF the Manufactur-
ers Record, contributes 10 this weeks
issue OF that journal a review OF the in
dustrial history of the South. The
losses entailed upon the South by the
war are estimated at over s., 900, 600, 0O0,
or double the amount of capital invested
in manufactures in the United States
in 1850
In 1880 the South had commenced 10
regain its position of 1860, and its prog
ress during thc last nine years has been
the wonder OF the age. Since 1865 over
s., 500, 600, 900 have been drawn to the
South 70 pay for cotton, and the value
OF cotton exported 10 Europe during
that period has been s., 100, OO0 OOo
The agricultural advancement has
been almost as marked as the industrial.
In 1879 tho value OF the South's agri-
cultural products was s57l, 600, 600;
in 1883 s7Se, 600 900, and in 1850 it
will be about $3.50. 600 600 In 1879 the
South produced 43l 600, 600 bushels OF
grain, and in 1883 $50, 600, 600 bushels,
and the yield for 1889 will probably
show $50. O0O, 900 20 675. 900, 600 bushels.
The percentage Of increase in grain pro-
duction in the South was larger than in
tho West In 1879 the value of the live
stock in the South was 1891, 400, 600, and
in 1889 $500, 100, 900.
In 1850 the South had 200 National
banks, with capital OF S45, 597 900, and
in 1889 il has 472 National banks, and
their capital is $40. ASS, 900. There was
an increase Of surplus in National banks
OF ~ per cent. in the North, 81 per cent.
in the West and 146 per cent. in the
South.
In the last four years $4,000 now man
ufacturing and mining enterprises have
been organized in the South The rail
road mileage OF the South has been in
creased by the addition of nearly 21 600
miles since 1880.
In 1850 6,04s,571 tons OF coal were
mined in the South, and in 1858 the
output was over $4,000 900 tons.
Cotton mills have increased from l6l,
with 1923 looms and 667. .s54 spindles
in lssO 70 355 mills with 45.O0l
looms and 2.o35, ,26s spindles, while
many new mills are under construction
and many old ones being enlarged In
1850 there were 40 cotton-seed oil mills
in tho South, having a capital Of $500,
600: now there are 2l2 with over $40, 900,
900 invested.
