PROSPERITY OF FALL RIVER.

cotton mllls-for years past its specalty-haVe

extraordinary OF s manufactures ana the enter
prise OF its inhabitants Fall River now mas IN opera
ton 80 mills containing about 100000 spindies, repre-
seutng some s25OOOOOo OF capital and employing some
l5Oo operatives The success OF the mills there mas
been almost unprecedented and may be inferred from
the nrevang prices Of the shares The stock OF the
Union Mill begun in 1861 has recently sold Tor 1880
M 900 being the par value) that of the Granite MIL be-
pn in 1855 for $3.50 the par value being slOOG the
Merchants MILL begun in ls68 for s2O par value, SOOl
chie that OF other mills which have Just gone IN 10
onsroton like the Mechanics Wampanoag, and slade,
IL held All the way from sl25 TO $3.50 share. In addi-
ZION 10 the mills already built, IL or is more are In
nrgress and projected. The fact that II has direct
water communication with York. and that II Is at

vantage in furnishing ample facilities for shipment
Fail River is not only the largest coton-manufacturing
