COTTON MANUFACTURES.
The Cotton Manufactures Of the United
States are daily increasing in extent and val
ue, and as rapidly improving IN the quaiity
and perfection of the finer descriptions OF
goods. The superiority of our own produc-
tions over those of foreign markets is now so
we'll ascertained and established, that de-
cided preference is given to them both III our
own and the South American markets-ano
the demand fully keeps pace with the IN
creasing supply. In taking notice OF the
growth of manufacturing establishments else
where, we are not little grathed to be "a
BILE to state that those Of Baltimore are con-
stantly enlarging their means OF operation
1t is fact we'll known, that within circle
of 80 miles around Baltimore, there IS
greater extent of 7va!er ho7ccr than can De
found in the same space in any part OF the
Union. This power is now gradually and
successfully coming into full play, and OF 1t
self forms source of solid prosperity to our
city, the beneficial influence of which is dai-

This is the first manufacture of the kind bs

of this description have been Fabricated!

but in small quantities and by hand looms on

The company was incorporated in Janua-
rv 1925, with capital Of S6G0000. Their
object is the manufacture of jean. dimity,
and a variety of twillcd cotton goods. Dur
ing the last year they erected one mill, oi
5000 spindles, mos Of the machinery oi
which is now completei; also two blocks, oi
s tcnements each, for boarding houses; q
counting house; store house, and dwelling
house for the agent. They are now erecting
another mill, and two more blocks, similar
70 the first. The buildings are Of brick, CO.

In 1910 there were in y. Hampshire but
twelve Manufacturing Establishments, with
595s spindles-and the whole amount OF
wooilen, cotton, faxen, and tow cloth man
ufaotured by them and By families through
out the state in that year was only 4,274, IS
yards. There are now in this State more
than so cotton and woolcn factories, and the
amount Of cloth manufactured annually, can,
not be far from 3O.00Ooo0 Yards. Some oi
the towns in the vicinity of Portsmouth have
been wonderfully changed from agricultural
70 manufacturing pursuits. The Factory
establishments OF Newmarket, Dover, Som.
crsworth, Berwick, &c. have made ou,
neighborhood manufacturing district. and
the future good or bad effects of this pursuit
must i'll time have great influence upon onl
prosperity.
