f Fr< m Now York Journal of coiuinorco Mar. 7)
Mr. John K. .Searles, formerly
secretary and treasurer of the
Sugar Trust, and who is nowpresident
of the American Oof ton (Jo.,
has just, returned from n fivu
weeks' trip through the Southern
States, Ono of his principal objects
whs to determine the best
location of additional plants for
the haling of. cotton hv the special
process of the company. 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

$2,500,000 an<T $3,000,000 are

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

that the lumber interests of

of superior quality are found

rainfall, an equable climate

believe that the mills which are
