REVIVAL OF MANUFACTURING BUsINEss.-A
letter from Lowell to the Boston Traveller,
says: "The spindle city is gradually resum-
ing its steady hum Of industry and wonted
businesslike appearance. With the excep-
ton Of the unfortunate Middesex--most of
the mills are in a running condition, giving
the operators from two-thirds TO full time.
All departments of the immense iron
works at Boonton resumiug work on Mon
day. For the last two months only the blast
furnaces have been ip operation, the pud-
ding furnaces, nail factory, keg factory, &C.,
being closed. The number of hands en-
2loyed, when these works are in full blast,
is something over 500.
The Fall River Mills, 5000 spindles, at
Providence, is running full time on print
cloths. So is the Anawan Mill, also 1000
spindles, making print cloths. These mills
have been running full time for a month or
