Cotton Spinning.

THE development Of the cotton mill
interests Of the South has been even
more rapid than that of iron and coal.
In 1850 the South had invested in cot
ton mills. s21 zoo, 900; in 1880. 500. O0O OOO in
1900. s112. 900. 900. and at the present time.
SIS. 009. 900 TO 500. 900. 600
The relative growth Of this industry
in the South. as compared with New
England. Is shown In the fact that in
1892 The consumption OF cotton in North
ern mills was 2. 10000 bales, and in
Southern mills. 6S6.0O0 bales. while for
the crop year OF 1903 the consumption in
Northern mills was l, ss7 600 bales. and in
Southern mills, 600 bales Thus,
while the consumption of cotton was
practically stationary in the country
outside of the South. it has more than
trebled in the last ten years IN the
South.
Connected with the development of
cotton has been the increase in the
manufacture of cotton seed oil and kin
dred products In 1850 there were forty
cotton seed oil mills in the South. with
a capital Of $500. 900; today there are
about 100 cotton seed oil mills, with a
capital Of over $50. U0O, 0oO
The influence OF this enormous n
crease in the value Of the crop has not
yet been felt 1t means a vivifying in
nuence upon every industry and every
line OF trade In the South, such as we
have not seen for ten yeas More
over, the South has this yeaI raised a
very large corn crop, aggregating many
millions OF bushels In excess OF last
year. conservative estim>--e of the
value Of the agricultural products of
the South this year is 81 500, COO 90.
against $3.50 600 900 In 1880.
Between 1850 and 1900 the amount OF
capital invested in the lumber industry
OF the South increased from SIS, 600. 900 TO
$1S1 900, 600 and the value OF the prod
ucts from S3s 6O0, 900 to $ISs. O0O. 600 The
total cut for 1900 amounted 10 14213.-
S72, 600 feet

the advance has been in keeping with
