Chattanooga, Tenn, May "a per
son is travelling some when he un-
| dertakes to keep up with the idus-
| trial pace Of the southern states.
The Tradesman, in its review for
| the short period of one week ending
| today, gives a list of 157 new indus
tries established in the southern
states during the week. The capital
| izatiOn of the 112 of these is reported
| as an aggregate of $13 ,237. .000, or an
| average of about $4,000, ,0e0. Apply
! the same average to the % concerns
| whose capitalization is not stated,
gives a grand total for the week of
| 1877 new industries capitalized at S16-
$4,000.
If this is not industrial progress
new definition of the term is needed.
The Tradesman's list for the week
! is given herewith, classified accord
| ing to states and cities, and stating
| the nature of the new industries Il
| is an interesting study for those who
are looking for reliable evidence that
diversified manufacturing is already
reality in the south. While the
| lists from the cotton states" contain
reports of several new concerns for
handling cotton and its products,
there is no evidence that the fleecy
staple has anything like a monopoly
| on the business of the south; in TACT,
| present industrial conditions are such
! that more than a cotton crop failure
| would be needed to retard the siren
uOus campaign of development upon
which the entire south has entered.
