Arrangements h,rve be mi completed, it i? learned, for the establishment *>f about 200 additional plants, and Mr. Searles declared \esterday tthat bis company would handle -aliout 1,000.000 halts of cotton next season. ' When asked by a representati vt of this journal bonc'ftrning his con elusions of the general business 'outlook of the South, formed a? a result of bis observations, Mr Searlea said : "While the public has heard <\ great deal about the resources of the South and the progress which that section is making. I am ner suaded that its advantages are by no mean" fully appreciates by the business people of the North. It should bo remembered thatJthe South has a very remarkable combination of advantages not possessed, I believe, by any other one country <.r section of the world. It produces about three fourths of tho world's crttjon crop furnishing the raw material foi the vast textile interests of Great Britain, the Continent and New England. This industry, repre Renting over $1,500,000,000 of in vested capital, is gradually tend j inn toward ine cotton tielfls. In , all parts of the South, and es pecially in the Carolina*?, tleorgio and Alabama, very rapid prog ross is being made in cotton mil buildintr. The South now hat over $120,000,000 invested in cot ton mills, against $01,000,0(X eight years ago, and about $5, 000,000 more is going into new mills now, under contract and ex tensions which are being made tc existing mills. Throughout the South I was informed that the dividends of cotton mills have averaged for some years 8 to If per cent, a year after adding, in many cases, 10 to 15 per. cent. to the surplus fund. "In pig-iron production the South is making equally as rapid progress as in cotton manufactuing, Birmingham, Ala., having ex ported during last year an aver* ago of nearly 1000 tons per day At present the American demand is so largo that the furnaces have butjlittlo for export, though the foreign damand has not in any way decreased. Birmingham it a good illustration of the remark aDie iron and steol making resources of the South. Its furnaces are producing at the rate of nearly 1,000,000 tons per year, and :R Ei SRMI-WKEKLY RTS7C.7WEbN~ESDi two st^el mills to cost betw $2,500,000 an<T $3,000,000 are der construction at that pli These steel mills are likely have a greater effect on the velopmont of the metallurgi interests of Alabama, and, in f of the whole South, than all t Birmingham has yet done in , way of making pig iron. Southwest Virginia and Tenr ( Ree a strong combination has b formed to purchase nine or furnaces and over 100,000 acre 'mineral' land. Though there no indication of any early act ty in furuace building, the pi pects indicate a verv rapid i substantial expansion of the > and steel business of the Son Taking into consideration thef that the South seems to be a to produce iron at a lower c than other sections, and" that has an unlimited supply of 01 coking coal and limestone, | limit can be set upon the pr ! i able extension of the iron, st I and eonl interests of that secti j Whan we consider that the ma facture of cotton has enriel , j Kngland ami New Kngland, i ! that the production of coal ? uon and steel have made I'e , j sylvania enormously wealthy, a that the lumber interests of J Northwest have created gr i wealth and developed a vast In I noss in that section, we can fo I Home idea of what it means to 1 Souih and to the entire conn . that all of these advantages i practically unlimited supply i of superior quality are found that section and nowhere else combination.
