Manufactures.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 2G Most of the cot
ton and WOO factories are in full operation at
reduced wages The carpet manufactures,
with very few exceptions, arc all closed, owing
principal to differences existing between the
wcavcrs and manufacturers caused by the latter
making a reduction 10 the price Of weaving OF ,
cents per yard. The manufacturers, as gene :
raj thing, say that the price Of carpets has been
reduced so much, and sales arc so low, that
they are not very anxious to start up even If
the men would agree to work at the proposed
reduction.

CHRISTMAS Christmas was observed in this
city, and, it is to be hoped, always will be- as
general holiday. Work of all kinds was sus.
pended, and everybody, apparently, did their
best to enjoy themselves and afford enjoyment
to others In the moroiug appropriate services
were held iu the Episcopal, the Catholic the
German Lutheran, and in the NJ E. Churches,
the music in all of which was especially excel
lrut. King street during the whole day was
crowded with people Of all ages, sexes and col
ors, all of them with happy faces, and many of
them engaged in firing powder-crackers aud
torpedoes, blowing loot horns, trumpets and
mouth-organs, aud beating miniature drums.
Egg-nog,, apple toddy, and all sorts OF drinks
were inhibited freely, and with no serious re-
suits; turkeys. oysters and mioce-meat pies
were INDUCED in to repetiou; Christmas gifts
passed about 10 increased numbers; and great
deal Of money was spent, but az it was made
solely for that purpose, it fulfilled its proper
part, and those who spent it wished they had
more to spend.
