- The £irlt cotton mill waseiec
ted in the state of Rhode Island, in
the year 1791, another in fame state
in the year 1795, and two more in the
state of Mi«flachufetts in the years
1803 and 1804. ~Dutring the three
fucceding years 10 more were erected
or commenced in é{hodc Island and
one in Conns&icut, making altogether
fifieen mills ereted before the year
1808, working at that time about
cight thousand-spindles, and produ
cing about three hundred thousand
pounds of yarnayear. . - .
Returns have been received of eighty
seven mills, which were ere€ed at the
end of the year 18vg—fixty ‘two of
~which (48 water and 14 horse mills) !
were in operation, and worked at that
time, thirty one thousand fpindles—
the other twenty five will all bein
operation in course of this year, and
together with he former ones (almolt
-all of which are increasing their ma
“chinery) will, by the ellimate receiv
-ed, work more than eighty thousand
spindles at the commencement cf the
FE WAL N ey <
+ The capital required to carry on
the manufa&tare on the best terms, is
eflimated at the rate of ocos hundred
“dollars for each f{pindle—including
_both the fixed capitite applied to the
purchase of the mill feats, and to the
confiznétion of the mills and machi-.
_mery, and that employed jn- wages,
_repairs, raw inaterials, goods on hand
and contipgencies. But itis believed
“that no more than at the rate of sixty.
dollars for cach spindle is generally
aétually employed. Forty five pounds.

The increase of carding and spins

has therefore been four fold during
the twe last years, and will have been
ten fold in -three years. The table

The seventeen mills in the state of
Rhode Ufland included in the table -
(C) which were in operation and
worked 14,290 spindles in the year
1809, are alfv Rated sp have used dur
that year 640,c00 pounds of cotton,
which produced g 10,000 Ibs. of yarn ;
of which 124.000 pounds were fold
for thread and knittings"; 200,000
pounds were Gfed in manufa&ures at
tached to, or in the vicinity of mills's
and the residue was either fold for
