GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Development in the Week
Ending May 20, 1892.

that the reports received from its
correspondents throughout the
Southern States show that in the
overlooked districts of the Missis-
sippi valley, the destruction OF
crops has been fully as great as an.
ticipated. 1t is not believed, how.
ever, that the cotton area is ma.
terially reduced, and no reduction
is expected in the amount to be
raised. From Texas points com
plants are made of a cold and
backward season.
The iron industry seems to show
signs of reviving prosperity
While sales have not increased,
there have been, at some points,
more inquiries than for a consid-
cradle period. Prices have not
been advanced, and shipments to
Northern and Eastern points are
not reduced. Throughout the
iron and coal districts of Georgia,
Tennessee and Alabama there is
considerable activity, and new in
dustries, such as iron and steel
work, textile plants, ETC., are re.
ported as in contemplation. The
interest before reported in new
cotton mills continues and several
are mentioned as having been or.
gained during the week, with
others in progress. The lumber
industry is unchanged. The de.
mand is not great, nor are prices
sufficiently high to afford large
profits. The general tenor of the
Trademarks reports are fairly sat.
isfactory, and warrants the belief
that the South is steadily and
surely emerging from the era Of
financial and industrial depres.
sion.
