GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Fast Week.
The review ot the industrial situation in the
South for the past week shows that business in
the coal regions of Alabama and Tennessee is
somewhat unsettled in cons* quence of the
miners’ strike, and the output of the furnaces
has been dimini-hed. toutrarv to previous
expectation it lias not been necessary to close
down any furnaces, as fuel euppliis furnished
by negro and convict 1 dior hive been siifh
Cl* ' 1! t. There is an increasing dmvnd for pig
iron, and prices are irregular. Textile mills
throughout the South are running on fill! time
with plenty Lumber of orders producers ant have encouraging obtained lower pros¬
pects. North and West, and
freight rates bu-iness to the heretofore. Prices, are
doing more than do
however, are low, and in many inhanees not
afford a reasonable profit. Farmers report that
crop prospects are not very encouraging and
truck farmers Lave done well thus far, as high¬
er prices have, to some extent, offset the short¬
age in early crops of fruit.
Forty-three new industries were established
or incorporated during the week, among which
may be mentioned the Keystone Cr amery
Company, of Alexandria, Va., capital $60,000;
large sugar refineries at New Ibeiia and Batou
Kouge, I.a.; a $30,000 construction company a'
New Orleans, I.a., and the Buckley High Speed
E evator Company, capital $50,000, also at New
Orleans, Brick worcs are to be established at
