Baltimore. Md, Nov. 23.-The South's
cotton crop this year will be worth
from $780, 600, 600 to $500, 100000, against
an average of $500, 000 900 of late years,
an increase OF from $3.50, 100000 to $780,
100000. Including the seed the value of
the cotton crop will exceed 100000 900.
Celebrating these facts the Manufac-
turerS Record says:
Southern mills will consume proba-
bly, 1.75O,o00 bales. against 100000 bales
last year. This cotton, which will cost
Southern mills about $4,000, 600 to $780,
100000, will in its manufactured shape
be worth more than $225, 000 900. thus
adding $l50,000000 in the process OF
manufacture. To this add an estimate
of 500, 600 US the value of cottonseed
oil, hulls, ETC., and it is found that the
cotton crop will this year yield to the
South the following:
Cotton and seed .S $500 0QO. 600
Added value of cotton manu-
featured in the South $500. $50, 900, 900
Value of oil and hulls, cake,
ETC., for feeding ............ 100, 900. 900

This is one of the many stores-this
one being worth S75000O, Conforming
the foundations for the South's bust
ness structure"
This addition to the wealth OF the
South. while primarily adding to the
comfort of the cotton growers, will I'M
doubleday find its way directly and in
directly into the channels of manu-
featuring, which will still further con-
tribute to Southern prosperity. There
are indications of this in the Industrial
announcements of the past week. There
have been comparatively few new pro-
Jects mentioned in the textile line, but
there is activity in the completion Of
new buildings and engagements of
ong-established plants. While in other
lines many new projects are considered.
This seems to be the case especially
with regard to flour mills. plans for
which have been made at Myers, Ky.
Ashwood. Belviderc, Tenn. Front
Royal, Va. Maysville w. Va, and
Aldrldge, Texas, an indication of the

THE RAILROADS.
The railroads of the South are feeling
the effects of activity in industry and
agriculture. and are responding to il In
improvements and extensions. This
seems particularly the case in Texas
though Mississippi, Louisiana. North
Carolina, Arkansas and South Caro-
lima are also enjoying such new bene-
fits.
