. very prominent incidcn; in The prog
ress OF the new ;in-piatc industry is the
announcements made il. our columns last
week that al important establishment had
resolved to abandon the erection of =
contemplated galvanized sheet works and
to dcyote whatever capital aud energy
might have been required in that dircc-
non to the manufacture Of tin plate. We
are Informed that this step was not taken
in spirit of blind enthusiasm over an
industrial idea, hut that the question of
cost and comparative profits WAS carefully
and very thoroughly considered, and the
weight OF argument seemed clearly to be
with TIN plate rather than galvanized
sheets. The manager Of the works had
built up 4 high reputation as
the head OF another concern for The quail
ity OF the galvanized sheets which he
turned out, so that lie is well cited TO nm.
derstand the claims for profitable returns
OF the galvanized sheet business. Under
existing circumstances, With the price Of
galvanized sheets lower perilaps than ever
before known, and with the capacity for
production steadily expanding, the out
look is regarded by him us vastly more
cheerful in the direction of tin Mate. in
Whose manufacture so few domestic works

Tie United States as Ii whole are in a fairly

its own against all competition. During the
three months ending March 81, this year, there
were 3 ,223 business failures with liabilities Of
$37 So, 9GS, as compared with 3 ,5l5 failures for
the same period III 1890, with liabilities Of

liabilities of $40, 525,017. The financial con-
dition OF no other part Of the country is so
sound as that of the South. This is due in
large measure to the conservative character of
our people and to the fact that we do not put
our whole trust in futures.
