Quarter of 1891.

Of Oct. The Tradesman will publish a
review Of the industrial advancement of
the south for the third quarter Of 1891.
The number of new industries estab-
lished during the past three months
reaches total Of 1000 as compared to
1910 for the corresponding quarter of
1890, and 1926 in the same quarter of
1889.
The Tradesman says it is believed that
many Ut the industries that nave been
projected in the southern stirtes during
the past quarter have been retarted and
In some cases abandoned owing to the
tightness of money matters Notwith-
standing these difficulties, however the
industrial interests in the south have
maintained remarkable activity and
after making due allowances for these
industries that have not gone into active
operation this section will still show a
healthy and substantial growth for the
past three months.
During the quarter ending Oct. l.,
there were established in the southern
five breweries, thirty six brick and tile
works, two car works, fourteen canning
factories. eight congresses and forty
nine cotton and wooden mills; North
Carolina leading in this line of develop
ment, with twelve to her credit, Ala
bama eight, Georgia seven, and the
others equally divided among the re-
naming southern states.

Thirty three electric light companies
have been organized in the past quarter,
twenty four flour and grist mills and
fifty-n:ne foundries and machine shops,
as compared with eighty-three for the

Establishment of machine shops and foun-
dries is gratifying feature in southern
development. There have been nine
furnaces established during the past
three months, fifty eight mining and
quarrying companies have been organ
lied, and twenty-three oil mills erected.
The remarkable development of tho
phosphate industry in Florida is shown
by the fact that thirty-eight companies

development Of phosphate lands; also,
one in Georgia one in Kentucky ard
three in North Carolina, making total
of forty-thl GO for the quarter.
One hundred and twenty-six railroad

working establishments, this industry
leading all others in the number of new
companies organized The establish
ment of wood working plants has been
equally divided in the different southern
states, and the timber resources of this
section are rapidly being utilized. With
the III miscellaneous enterprises re.
ported, the total for the past quarter
makes very gratifying showing when
