ENGLISH MONEY DOWN SOUTH

For several years prior to the Bar.

invested TO a very large extent In
southern railroad and Industrial enter.
prises. At the time Of the Barring col.
lapse many negotiations were under
way in England. with good prospects
Of success, for other large investments
in the purchase Of mineral and timber
properties, in the building Of railroads
and In various undertakings looking to
broad development Of southern re.
sources.
Following that failure, and the col.
lapse Of business and financial inter.
ests in this country with the panic Of
1893 and the free silver agitation Of
the next few years. English capital
sought other channels for investment.
This condition has existed for nearly
twenty years. but now there IL
marked revival Of interest on the part
Of English capital in southern invest.
ments.
within the last few months English
cotton manufacturers have put $4,000.
00o into the purchase of cotton lands
in Mississippi and 100000 into
great irrigation enterprise In Texas.
Negotiations are now under way In
England for the financing OF some
large water power enterprises and
number Of other undertakings, the
carrying out Of which would prove OF
very great value to the south.
