REDUCTION or THE PRICE OF GOODS by Drown IVES.
The LOusdale Manufacturing Company, which Is con-
troed by tho house Of Brown Iv5s runs five mills at
Donsdae and Ashton, manufacturing villages IN the
valley Of the Blackstone, few miles from Providence
Here are manufactured oambrics. Lonsdae beached
shrtings iaoonets etc. and In these five mills are
$4,000 spindes and about 5000 operatives. These mills
still running full time and with no reduction of
wages employees The agents state that they desire
to keep with them all their operatives, Of whom
have been in their employ years and MORE and
have yet decided on curtameD on account OF the
financial troubles Unless matters soon mend, how
over they will be forced 70 Tetrench The reduction
would probably be made in the rather than in
hours force. The agents assert that the operatives
have been getting such very high wages that they can
well stand reduction. They look. however for
an early revival Of business The LOnsdalc Company
tins week reduced the price " their goods cent
yard Other manufacturers following the example have
given orders TO their selling agents in NewYork to
duce prices cOrrespondingy. The agents Of the Ions
dale Company say that cotton is falling Of cent per
p0nud daily, with reduced wages they make fair
profit at the lower rate The reduction has not been well
coined by their competitors who say that they could
keep up their mills at full time at She old rate but must
now curtail Brown q Ives also control the Hope Mil,
at sctuate, which makes shrtings. The mill contains
2CC0 spndes and employs $50 hands They also control
the Berkeley MIL in Cumberland, miles from

spindes employs about 400 persons. Here made fine
goods sixties, eighties. and one-hundrcds. The Hope
and Berkeley mills running on fun tme and at the
latter place nob looms being frequently added. The
manufacture OF the class of goods made at the Berkeley
is SAID TO bo in this country. The same policy will
be pursued these mills at LOnsdsle and Ashton.
Beside these a print cloth mandatory in Blackstone,
Mass with $1,000 spindles aud some coo hands, is con
trolled by Brown & Ives. This mandatory shut
