RAPID WEAVING.
Courier.

The Providence Journal Of the eth March gives
the following instances Of rapid weaving:
"On thirty water looms, at the factory Of the
Messrs. lodges, 45424 yards of No. 90 ~ sheet
ing, was woye on the week ending the 22d instant,
averaging per day, on each loom, more than so
yards"
We we're induced by this notice, to call at the
new Phoenix Factory of Messrs. Adams, Allen s.
Co Of this place. and inquire the amount Of weaving
done there in week. Our statement is extract
ed from the books Of the factory, and prove that in
proportion TO the number of 10 ms employed, they
have exceeded the Providence factory.
Adams, Allen 81 Co. have eight power looms in
operation. attended by four young women, none oil
whom ever saw steam loom before coming into
their factory, and one of whom has been in their
employment but about three months. The amount
wove from the 3i,t of March 10 the 5th Of April,
on these looms was 1850 yards of No IS to 10, OF
81 to So inches sheeting This sheeting is in point
Of quality equal to any that has yet appeared in the
market. 1t is pleasing 10 notice these Improvements
and to encourage spirit o. emulation among our in
luetrious manufacturers. The system and order
which prevail in the Phrnix Factory. and the col
lection OF beautiful machinery in full operation there
cannot ail Of presenting the most pleasing reilec
lions TO The minds OF the visitors.
