At the time of the panic, the financial con-

depression 10 the market for cotton goods.
made it necessary to suspend operations en-
tireIy, or to work at less wages than had been
given before The great suffering among the
poor which would ensue if work were suspend
ed entirely, made him determine to reduce the
wages 20 per cent, and continue to give al! his
hands employment at these rates, until the I'm,
nrovement in the market would justify re-
turn to the prices paid before tho panic Even
ut these rates the mill lost money for period,

higher wages and were told that as soon as cir
cumstances would justify it the former prices
would be paid. Yesterday the hands deter.
