THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

THERE are 10000 unemployed work
men in Albany, n. Y.
THERE is project on foot looking to
the establishment of another watch fac
tory at Elgin, ILL., III
MAINE offers premium of a cent a
pound for sugar made from beets grown
within the State.
THE accounts of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company, from Jan. l,
1874, have been examined, and the re-
suit found that an actual loss had been
sustained of S., 273, 495. 81 in three years.
THE shipment of beef to the English
markets has proved SO profitable
that cattle-dealing firm in Hol-
land has started the enterprise of
transporting live stock from this
country. The Rotterdam steamers have
been engaged for this purpose, and It's
head Of cattle, purchased at the Jersey
City stock-yards, will be transported as
soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made on board the steamers.
THE import trade of England has re-
manned stationary for four years, as far
as values are concerned. It was, in 1876,
9374 ,003, TIL. Her export trade has
fallen off one-ffth in the same time, be-
ing, in 1876, G200, SIC, 1856. The guam
tity of goods handled was, however, a
little larger than usual, showing that the
principal trouble was the fall Of prices
all over the world. The Poll Mall Ga

England's trade as follows: eff, however,
our export trade is doomed total off, it
ought surely to be consoIng and not a
discouraging reflection that our import
trade shows no falling. The export trade
is, after all, test of the condition of
our foreign customers. The import trade
indicates the condition of our own fellow
countrymen.
The accounts in the English newspa-
pers up to the LIST of February give but
few signs of improvement in the manu-
featuring districts. The coal and iron
industries continued in pretty much the
same depressed condition as previously
reported OF the former, supplies were
largely in excess of the demand, with
stocks still accumulating; thus strik-
ingly rejecting the condition of
the trade ON this side of the At
lantic. Prices Of about all kinds of
iron are reported easier, and merchants
who had been making speculative pur-
chases for rise, finding that the iron
stays with them, were forcing sales, in
order to meet their engagements with
makers. At Birmingham ordinary work
is almost at a standstill; for shipment
there was nothing doing, and the demand
for domestic consumption was dwindling
down to next to nothing.
THERE is a wonderful revival of the
print-cloth trade. We read that every
mill at Fall River, Mass, is in active
operation, and the manufacturers have
forgotten all about the hard times. The
produce last year was 343, 375, 900 yards,
consuming 139, It's bales of cotton This
year the out-turn will be much larger.
The consumption of cotton goods has
again caught up with the production.
Nothing has done more to relieve the
overstocked market than the exports to
England. The treasurer of one of the
Fall City companies made one sale in
Manchester of 245, 900 pieces of 5Syards
each. One result of this has been that
Cuban and South American buyers have
begun to go to New York as they used
to go to Manchester. This revival of
the cotton manufacture indicates a re-
vival in the dry-goods business, and a
revival in the dry-goods business goes
with recuperation Of general prosperity.
