The report summarizes the con-
tinued healthy growth of manufactur-
ing in the South and says:
"A notable feature of Southern man
ufacturing development IL the rate at
which the consumption OF cotton. one
of of the principal raw materials of
the South. has increased in Southern
mills. United states census figures
show that in the twelve months ended

consumed 3.52s.7s7 bales. as compared
with 3,N26.969 bales last year. an in
