THE COMING WINTER.
WORK and wages In the East.

work ana wages IA the btNt-
From The N. y. Commercial AdrertiSer.
We stand upon the threshold of a
Winter which weather prophets pre-
dict will be tedious and severe. The
chilling Northern breezes bring us,
early in the season, foretaste of what
%e may expect wien the days grow
shorter and the shadows of the meri-
dian lengthen. Under ordinary circum-
stances the great majority can protect
themselves against the severity OF the
elements, but this season there Is too
much reason to fear that the weather Is
not the least Of the evils that we may
have to cope with. It is probable
that we shall be called upon to
endure dullness of business and
scarcity of employment. 1t is many
years since employment was so scarce
In this city rs now. Not since the first
winter of the civil war have SO many
men been out OF work as at the present
time. But this Is not all. Many OF
our manufacturers are continuing oper-
atoms, not because they are remunera-
tive, but because of a reluctance TO dis
charge their Eands, and IA hope OF bet
ter times. They are thus accumula-
ting stock upon u falling market, with
probabilities OF worse results than
might occur If they suspended work at
once. As for business, II is extremely
dull. A few special branches of retail
trade are active for goods for winter
use. But generally there Is very little
doing, and 1t looks rs II the extraYa-
CANT rents Of landlords would expert
tence a collapse. The comparative fail
ure of the Fall trade hasa depressing
influence, and there is general want
OF confidence in all departments OF
business.
In the country We lind nearly the
same condition of affairs. The New
England and Eastern manufacturers
arc contracting operations, and are
either running short time or are sus-
pending, work altogether; In New
England, Pennsylvania, New jersey,
and in this State, wages have been re-
duced from ten to twenty per cent
Even with this reduction employers
complain, and IA Convention OF Manu-
iacturers Is proposed 70 consider the
