TRADESMhN'S
WEEKLY REVIEW
New Industries Formed in
DixieIand During the
Past Week.
Special to The journal.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 21.-Re-
ports to the Tradesman from CORE
SpOndentS in the various Southern
states during the past few days show
decidedly a continued increase in the
industrial movement along all lines.
There is greater strength TO the hard
wood market. and the soft woods OF
the South are regaining the position
which they had forfeited during the
financial Stringency of the past year.
In the coal mining sections of the
South the indications are that the out
put will be limited for the next year
only by the number OF miners that
can be secured TO do the work, while
throughout the furuace districts of the
South there is an air of prosperity
which is plainly indicated by the re-
juvenatiOn of old furnaces, the con-
Struction Of new ones, and the gen
eral preparations to supply the de-
mandS of a heavy market which is
confidently anticipated. The textile
mills show corresponding activity. and
nearly all of those which had either
discontinued or curtailed their opera
tiOns are already back into normal
activity with order far into the sea
son for all of the product in yarns
and cloths that can be turned out.
These gratifying conditions in the
leading lines of activity in the South
are, of course, eXerting a most salu-
tary influence upon the general bust
ness of this section, and the result is
a new era of building and construction
in the large and small cities and even
throughout the agricultural regions

Establishment of new Industries in the
