SOUTHERN PROGRESS.


,heview OF the Souths Deveiopment Last
Year.
baltimore. December Si.-Richard II .
Ednonds. editor of the Manufacturers
Record In a general review of the bust
ness OF the South during the past year
and the prospects for the future. In this
weeks Issue says:
The year just ended which for all time
to come will be noted " the records OF
Southern progress as one of the most i'm
portant periods in the business history
of the South. Looking back over Inns We
can see that Cor the South 1t has been u
year uf marvellous achievement. When
the general business depression which OK
isted throughout the world for several
years Is taken into account 1t Will be re-
allied that the South accomplished won
derful things during 1875.
1t was a year free from speculative ac-
tivity and a year In which there was no
hurroh or booming business seen In parts
tory there has been a solid, substantial
foundation laid for greater growth tran
was ever before seen in the South II not
In any other part of the country.
He attributes a great portion OF this
prosperity to the Atlanta Exposition. OF
which he says that its Influence viii be
felt for years to come and its effect upon
the future of the South can not be meas
ured in figures. He deems the recent
award to the Newport News Ship Build
ing company of the contract to build two
Wdisu.pS at u tost VI FisoVui-
900. the next most important event of the
year emphasizing the power of the
South In the business interests of the
country.
or the cotton manufacturing industries
he says:
Cotton mill building made greater prog
ress during the year 1895 than ever be-
fore. The aggregate number of spindles
for new mills undertaken during the year
and for the engagements 70 the old mills
was. in round numbers about 100000 OF
probably twice as great as ever before
recorded In one year. In round numbers
the South has now, including mills in
operation, about 1000, 900 spindles In sight.
all of which will be in full operation be-
fore the present crop year closes.
The following summaries of the new
industries Is given: The total for 1895 was
3o97 new enterprises, against 22S9 in 1891
and 1898 in 1898
1t will be noted that the most marked
increase was in cotton mills cotton COM
presses and cotton seed oil mills, other en-
terprises showing comparatively few
changes
The numbers OF cotton mills projected
increased from forty-four in 1894 to 167
in 1895: the number of cotton congresses
from twelve to thirtv-two and of cotton
seed oil mills from fifteen to thirty-eight.
