COTTON MILLING IN THE SOUTH

The industrial growth Of the South
is truly wonderful. The Southern
people themselves can hardly comPreS
bend it. In the past ten years man
ufacturing establishments have null
tiplied SO rapidly in States long DOR
mant that the figures actually tax
credulity.
At no time has the Industrial 40
tivity in the South been greater than
it is right now, and in no State or
the South, perhaps, is 1T as great as
right here in North Carolina. More
mills are being built in h South nov"
than at any time in her history, and
in mill-building the name OF North
Carolina leads all the rest.
The American Cotton and Wool Re
porter, presenting its semi-ann'lal
statement of mill construction, says:
AS has been customary Of recent
wears. the South has led the North
heavily in the matter OF new mill
construction. Of the 3O7 mill report
ed for the first half of 1900, 105 were
Northern and 202 Southern. The big
rest record was made by North Caro-
lima. with 81 new mills, Of which Al
were cotton and 10 knit goods mills,
South Carolina came next with so
mills. AZ Of which were cotton. GeOI>
gia showed AZ, Of which 35 were cot
ton. Next came Pennsylvania, with
20 new mills, of which 6 were cotton.
Fifth on the list was Massachusetts,
with % mills, OIL which 5 were cotton,
10 wool, 2 knit goods and ) mlscelltN
neous. 1t should be added that en-
largements and improvements OF ex-
listing mills have been on an extern
sive scale. the machine shops being so
busy tina mills have been obliged to
wait six and eight months to get
their orders filled.
The first half of 1900, the Reporter
goes on to say, has broken all re-
cords in the number of new and pro
posed mills in the United States. Since
January /, 1900, the construction of
3O7 mills has been entered IN. This
reported for the last half of 1899, and
an increase of 8 over the number re-
ported for the entire twelve months
ended last December. AS usual. the
great increase in the number Of new
textile mills has been principally
among the cotton mills, 1914 out of the
3O7 under way since January /, 1900,
being of that class. The extraordi-
nary character of the movement to
erect cotton mills in this country is

To-day's stock market made a re-
markable demonstration OF strength in
the prices OF securities and Of absorp-
tive power in the face of the enormous
llquIdation of profits. Sharp reactions
from best prices were made in many
stocks and others which have been the
recent favorites among spectators for
a rise were heavy on realizing of pro-
fits throughout the day but the general
level Of prices was decidedly higher on
the day and very heavy aggregate Of
stocks was marketed. Dealings were
more or less congested in the leaders of
stock exchange movements, but there
was n very broad market for usually
dormant stocls, some Of which have
not made their appearance In the re-
cords OF transactions for many weeks
past. London was an eager buyer IN
This market and while there were sales

recent advances have been consider
able. the disposition of the foreigners
seemed to be to reinyest their profits
IN other stocks. They were free sell-

don account far unbalanced the sales.
II was estimated that London bought
fully CO,OOO shares on balance. pripci-
paIly among the low priced common
stocks with preferred stocks ahead OF
them. The commission houses had
Iarpe orders TO buy which had accu-
mulated over Sunday and the profess
sIonals took advantage of this demand
to market their holdings. This, coupled
with the weakness of the local traction
stocks, Sugar and Peoples Gns turned
prices back before the end of the first
hour, but the buying continued In un-
abated volume and carried the market
upward again. Later in the day, when
the buying orders had been exhausted
and realizing developed in the trunk
lines, the market went Off again. The
final rally did not bring prices back to

The news OF the day did not receive
much attention. the movement appar-
emily being based on confidence in the
general outlook for business and values
and in future ease in the money mar
ket. All departments of the local mo-
ney market were appreclably easier to-
day in spite of the largely increased
speculative activity and the resulting
demand for funds. In spite of the
large buying of stocks for London ac-
count sterling exchange advanced a
fraction, apparently in response to the
hardening of money rates in London. A
marked falling off was reported In the

exchange.
