1896 lbs, at value OF $1,000 80 cents or 42l cents
per pound The wages paid TO aborers 10 cents per
day to inexperienced men, and from dollar to one dol

ness. One hundred and seventy men, women and chil-
dren employed, whose gross wages amounted to
$35 300 for the year There manufactured 5000
yards of broadcoth, which sold in New York at from
50 to - so per yard Also 35,39l yards cashmere
which sold at from 81 rs cents, to ~ % cents per yard
Also ,2ll yards OF Kentucky jeans, which sold for forty
cents per yard. The communication shows that proht
of about thirty per cent the result OF their opera
