THE SOUTH IN 1891.
A Year's Progress in Commerce, In- 1
dnstry and Agriculture. \
Activity in Bvery Branch of Xanu? ,
factoring and Mining. A Period |
of Notable Achievements
Along All lanes.
The year 1891 has been one of the most ]
trying periods through which the financial,
commercial, agricultural and industrial
interests of this country have ever
been called upon to pass. The great financial
crisis resulting from the Bariug
collapse iu November, 1890, overshadowed
everything in the beginning of the
Tear, and the last twelve mouths have
been a striking Illustration of the abii.tj
of this country to recover from a heavy
blow to its financial &rd commercial interests.
Th6 great resources of this coun- t
try have been fullv enial . > th? Ami>r<r?i>. 1
cy, and tlie advent of the year 1892 finds c
us in u prosperous condition, with all our t
industries in a state of great activity, t
Unlike the great pauics of 1878 and 1884, t
the crisis of 1890-91 was due cutirely to c
outside causes, and not to conditions \
created in this country England, by a
ill advised speculative ventures, prccipi- u
fated the trouble and in the emergency \
the United States was called upou to f
right matters. The necessities of the ?
case caused >? severe draiu upon the fi- r
nuucial resources of this country, but the e
equilibrium has been once more restored, \
with comparatively little injury to our a
financial and commercial lutcrests t
The past year has been a period of
slow recovery from the great blow, but a
the recovery has becn*stcady, continuous |i
and thorough, and the opeuing of an- s
other year brings prospects the bright- u
est character. Nature has conic ?,i i,
to the aid of this country with bountiful t
crops of every kind, ample enough not a
only to meet all requirements of home c
consumption, but also to supply the do- y
ticiencics existing in other seetious of the t.
world. The last half of the year has been a
especially a period of activity and pros- T
perity in uenrly every line of business, f
and the growth of the trade shows how t
fully and how rapidly the recovery has i
taken place. t
Between the beginning and the end of t
the past year there have been trying periods
in every scctiou of the country. 1
Speculative ventures of many kinds liaie (
collapsed, business enterprises without \
sufficient capital have been forced to sus- t
peud and unsound banks have been toppled
over All of this has had a beueli- \
cinl elTcct upon the country at large, and ^
business interests are to-day in a more t
healthy couditiou than they were twelve
months ago. There has been a general
clearing of the business atmosphere, and
so^mjJ-qaccim can now +
-treaty. - '***' *"*'
It has been especially interesting to
note the manner and locations in which
the reaction from the crisis of a year ago
has manifested itself, and here again the i
South has cause for satisfaction. There I
have been been many large failures in c
business the past yiar, ami the aggregate 1
of liabilities has been unusually heavy, |
but the disastrous failures have been con- <
tiued almost exclusively to the oldci II
nancial centers of the North. The reac- (
tiounry influences were severely felt in i
some parts of the West, where there had '
been widespread collapse of speculative I
ventures, but fortunately the enormous <
grain crops have again brought prospcri (
ty to that section. The failures in the j
South have been limited mainly to a comparatively
few small concerns of insccutc i
footing and limited means. None of th<> I
more important intere-ts in the South I
have met with disaster, and we believe ,
that any well-informed and unprcjudic- <
cd observer will admit that the South ]
lias stood the strain of the past year in a t
phenomenal manner. In view of the
great proportion of new establishments
in the South it would not have been stir- i
prising if many o'i them hail collapsed
under the pressure that has overthrown i
so many large and long-ostablisheil firms
in other sections of the country, and the i
fact that such has not been the c so is the
best possible evidence of the stability of
the South
The South has not only held its own
against tremendous odds in IS'.U, but it
has made a record of substantial progress
which, in many respects, has never b. en
equalled in the most prosperous years.

thy >outh. The cotton crop of IHtM) ill
surpassed all records, an I that of 1 HO I
02 will not fall far short. There has been
an enormous increase i i the yield of
wheat and corn, th< sugar crop has distanced
previous records and the minor
crops have been bountiful beyond all expectation.
The South has given more
liberally of its products to the world than
in former years, as is indicated hv the
great activity at the seaports. In the development
of mineral resource t and the
establishment if dependent industries
there has been g eat p'ogress, and it is
gratifying to note that \?bat hns been
done in the past year has been done well,
and with a view tc pcrmauanec aud
profit. There has been less of the speculative
spirit and more of sound business
principles than ever before, and what has
been done in the establishment of new in
dustrics in the past ytar will tell powerfully
in the futute. ,.f the South. The
year lH'.M has not been a year of uuintcr
iupted prosperity for any section of the
country, hut it has resulted in inunensur
nhlc benefit to tlie South. J>uting 1801
the South completed 23 blast furnaces,
10 rolling mills, 1 IJeesemer steel rail
mill in Maryland and 1 Bessemer plant in
Kentucky, mid nearly finished 2 cotton
tie mills and 1 tinplatc mi l, and is about
ready to commence building another tinplatc
and steel mill. Its production of
pig iron was 1,000,000 tons, and of coal
23,000.000 tons The assessed value of
property increased to 800,000,000, a
gain of 320,000,000 over 1800, and of
$1,000,000,000 over 1880. The corn
crop was tlie largest ever produced, being
about 008,COO,000 bushels, a gain of
117,000,000 bushels over 1800. while the
gaiu iu w heat was 16,000,000 busht Is.
The foreign trade of 1890 was the largest
the South ever had, the total value of the
exports for the 11 months ended
November 30 having been 1200,500,000,
an increase of 28,000,000 over the corres
ponding time of 1890. The imports of
Southern ports for the same periou showed
an increase of $9,000,000, although
the total imports for the whole country
let-lined about $4,000,000, or a uet <le- j
slioe outside of the South of' $19,000,000 ,
Lp November the exports from the entire
country wero valued at $110,000,000, and ,
jf this amount usnrly one half, or $53, j
JOO.OOO, was from Southern ports.
