of the Squeeze.
BALTIMORE, ND. Sept. 24.-The Manu-
Jacturers' Record Of this week contains q
summary OF oil the new manufacturing en-
terprises organized in the south since Jan. 1,
1891, which aggregate 2,472. Reviewing
the progress OF the south for the last
nine months, the Manufacturers Record
says: THE most trying period which the
Industrial growth of the south has ever
encountered, and doubtless the most trying
that 1t will ever have to face, has been that
covered by the last nine or ten months, II
would have been natural for a rapidly de-
veloping section like the south, where thou
sands OF new enterprises we're being
organized or were under construction.
TO have felt the effect of the
financial trouble far more seriously than
any other section, but such has not been the
case. or course many enterprises Just get
ting under way when the panic came have
been halted and some have been abandoned.
but this has been mainly in the line Of de-
velopment and town companies. Manufact~
uring enterprises In operation have gone
along steadily.
BUSINESS REsrRICrED.
Ranking and general business oper-
tions, though somewhat restricted in
volume. have stood the financial strain re-
markhbly we'll. Despite the extreme de-
preston in iron, the southern furnaces have
generally been running to their full
capacity and making some profit;
cotton mills have been busy and
in nearly every line of manufacturing
there has been a steady, substantial gain,
even during the great monetary stringency.
The way in which the south has stood the
strain has surprised the financial world,
and has materially strengthened the conf
dence of the capitalists of the north In the
great future of this section.
THE PANIC PASSING AWAY.
"The panic is passing away; the whole
country is entering upon a period Of un-
precedented prosperity, and in all human
probability the next two years will be the
most active in the industrial advancement
in the history Of our country In this
great activity and prosperity
the south will undoubtedly share.
Its vast resources will command the
attention Of capitalists, new furnaces and
steel works will be built, new cotton mills
will be established, new mines will be
opened, many miles of railroad will be
built, and In every branch of its trade and
industry new activity will ha fe1t ~
