SOUTHERN MILLS LEAD.
Manufacture More Cotton Goods Than
All the Rest of This Country.

Baltimore. Nd, Sept. 21-Indicatlons
of the southwark trend of the Amefi-
can textile industry is had i'm the fact
that during the year just closed South
ern cotton mills have for the third time
in the past ten years taken more bales
of American cotton than the mills in
the rest of the country.
The advantage Of the Southern mills
was gained first in 1909, which year, by
the way, marked the passing of the
1000 00G-bale mark by Southern mills,
their 1.00O0 00-bale record having been
established in 1897. In 1903 the South
ern mills We're again ahead of the
mills in the rest of the country, and in
the year just closed they took 2,193,2 71
bales against 1885, 61 bales taken by
mills in the rest of the country. or
more than 53 per cent. of the total
number of bales of American cotton
taken by American mills.
The past year was one of unfaVorable
conditions fc;- the mills. but it is inter-
esting to note that. in spite of that
fact, they maintained the general ten
dency which should ultimately make
the South as dominating in cotton
manufacturing as it is in cotton grow
ing.

further because it was announced at the
