SOurHERN INDUSTRIES.

The statistics furnished to the
daily press by the Tradesman of
Chattanooga on the establishment
of new industries in the South will
be corrobOrated by Southern Trade
of this city, the Manufacturers
Record of Baltimore and other
journals devoted exclusively to
the business interests of the South.
There is no question that this
section of the country was affected
less, on the whole, by the panic
than any other.
The Tradesman reports that 664
new industries have been started
in the South since the lst of April.
as compared with 63S during the see
ond quarter of 1894 and 645 in the
corresponding period of 1898.
This years list includes 101 cotton
mills for the second and LOG for
the first quarter. Flour mills
come next and then new mines
and quarries. To the cotton list
should be added 81 new cotton oil
works and 26 congresses. To the
wood working industry 2S fOun-
dries and machine shops.
The report is highly satisfacto-
ry. 1t shows business conditions
III the South to be in good shape.
The only danger now is, as sug-
gested by the Manufacturers Rec
ord. that the thing will be over
done. The experience of the past
should teach lesson never to be
forgotten. Fictitious booms are
to be ayoided.-Republic.
