The importance of the South as a market for materials, equipment and power is shown by the total of $7,- 239,455,903 spent for these items in 1937. The South produced in 1938, 20 per cent of the country’s pig iron, and 17 per cent of hot rolled iron steel. In structural and ornamental iron work in 1937, according to the latest figures, total Southern pro duction was above 18 per cent of the total of the United States. The South manufactured five sixths of the cotton consumed in United States mills in 1938. There were 18,152,536 active spindles in Southern mills as compared with 5,- 814,516 in the rest of the country. The value of output, giving the fig ures of 1937, which are the latest available was, $931,686,877 for South ern mills,, and $339,512,908 for the rest of the United States. This is an increase of more than $211,000,000 in the value of the South’s output over 1935, and $335,000,000 above 1933. Southern cotton mills spent $529,- 983,618 in 1937 for materials and power. Cottonseed crushed in the South in the year ending July 31, 1938, amounted to more than five-sixths of the amount crushed in the coun try, reaching a high figure for the last five years of 5,789,588 tons. The total value of cottonseed products that year in the United States was $212,197,000, of which the South’s total was $192,416,000. In the rayon manufacturing in dustry there are 270 plants in the United States, of which the South has 51. The value of products of this in dustry for 1937 was $484,470,182 for the United States, and $194,445,133 for the South, or more than 40 per cent. This is an understatement of Southern production as United States census figures take no account of States having less than three estab lishments, such as Maryland and Alabama, both of which have im portant rayon mills although short of the required number. These are, however, included in the count for the country as a whole. The value of products of the lum ber industry in 1935 was $229,474,- 000, and in 1937, $333,099,812, an in crease of $103,625,812, or over 45 per cent. The products of Southern furniture factories were valued in 1935 at $97,- 188,000, and in 1937 at $141,624,472, an increase of $44,436,472, or almost 16 per cent. The Southern fertilizer industry in 1935 had a production valued at $97,- 365,000, and in 1937, a valuation of $134,669,488. The latter figure is to be compared with $195,759,025, which is the value of the total out put of the United States. Thus it is shown that the South produces more than 68 per cent of the fertilizer out put of the country in dollar value, with an increase in two years of over 38 per cent. For 1938, total internal revenue receipts in the South increased over 1937 more than $46,000,000, while receipts for the entire United States declined nearly $110,000,000. Aggregate resources of Southern banks in 1938 increased more than $46,000,000 over 1937, while the rest of the country showed a decline of $639,000,000. t New York Tax Yield Albany, N. Y., Aug. 31.—(API- New York’s “penny-for-ten” cigar ette tax, expected by Republican legislative leaders to raise $22,500,- 000 in revenue by next July 1, netted the State $2,976,216 in the first month’s operation. Red Cross chapters in smaller communities which lacked regular relief organizations assisted 116,000 needy families during the year. HENDERSON, (N. C.)
