SOUTHERN COTTON MOVEMENTA.
Prominent-New England Mill Man
Expresses llis Opinion-?Some
Figures.
The speeia. cotton mill edition of the
Manufacturers' It -cord of last week shows
that the amount of capital invested in Southern
cotton mills increased from 921,5)01),000
in 1880 Hud ?Gl,100,000 in 1800 to 9107.000.000
at present, while about 9t'2,000,000 additional
will he spent in the construction of the
mills now building mid projected. In 1SS0
the South hud GG7.000 spindles; in 1H')1, j,700,000
spimiles, and at the present lime
000,000 spindles, while the mills under cousUMctioii
will add 500,000 spindles more, or
n total of 8,500.000 spindles, thus doubling
the entire cotton uiill business of the South

A number of lending New England exports
give their views upon the eottou manufacturing
advantages of the Southern Status.
D. M. Thompson, ->f the Corliss Engine Co.,
of Providem-e, and for twelve years man-igor
of the largest mill corporation in New England,
running 420,000 spindles, says of the
Smith's cotton mill facilities ''Years ago,
after a careful consideration, I Iteuanio fully
convinced that the South possessed superior
advantages for the manufacture of eottou
yarns and coarse goods. I have had no occasion
