WARD. New, Jan. 16, 1877.
Mr.. EDITOR: I would have written
before but l have been waiting for no
thingto transpire that would interest you.
A remarkable change seems to have come
over the spirit Of our dream; a sort of
stiffness pervades the atmosphere, (not
that the camp is going down at all. for it
isn't you know, bnt men don't seem
to cali up all hands as they used to do.

bar-room without being asked to smile"
Faro banks don't run all night now-not
but what there is plenty of money, but
it's SO cold; and every now and then
there is a restaurant for sale. A few gam
blers have left for greener pastures, and
a few more would if they could tear them
selves away, but 1t is hard to leave q place
that is in such a prosperous condition
Just because it's cold. In fact owing. to
the cold snap, the grass is getting short,
and the chickens roost 30 high that the
festive ChlEaman is compelled TO wear
stills. The industrious Mormon sells
his truck now at reasonable prices, and
has his heart made glad by the many pas.

take exercise on an empty stomach walk

packing their blankets for fear Of being
caught out in the night air. The poor
over-worked clerks are regaining their
former good looks, for now they have
time to get their regular meals. In fact a
Sabbath quiet seems to have settled over
the place-not that the camp is less pros

porous, for it isn't you know but it is
curious to see men walking around in
such a dreamy kind of away, wondering
when they are going to get their checks,
and how much discount they will have
to suffer. The men who were out in the
coal and wood camps are nearly all in
town now waiting to be called up to the
Captains office; some are growing a lit
tie, not that they are afraid of losing
anything, but it is SO convenient to have
a little coin in one'spocket.
The mill is all ready and will start up
to-day or tomorrow. Buildings are
~springine up in every direction like
magic and several merchants are here
trying to get lots in desirable locations,
SO you see everything is colour de rose.
We have a theater, aud a talented troupe
Of amateurs who play to crowded
houses once O week.
The enterprising editor OF our nice
little paper tells us that b is going to en-
large, but we are given to understand
that the Phoebe Record is to be published
here before long; SO a daily will be next
in order. A social club has been organ
lied by some of the first gentlemen of the
town. and a-society OF Pioneers is talked
of. What we need most now is tele-
graphic communication with the outer
world. We are not kept wholly in the
dark because we get the White Pine
News, but then we want to know all
about it every day. Should our town be-
gin to fall off any or get at all dull, !
will drop you a line. In haste.

American Cotton Goods for Export.

There has been a disposition to pooh
pooh the idea that our American manu-
facturers can manufacture cotton fabrics
at a cost which will enable them to COM
pete with English producers. The sta
t~istics, however, tell a very different
story. They show that the quantity ex-
ported is not only large, but that it is
increasing at a very rapid rate. The
official statement of American exports
for the first seven months of the fiscal
wear 1867 show that the number of
Yards of colsred cotton goods exported
in that period was H. 500, and of UNI
colored cottons A ,731,2 33 yards; total,
S. 56, 1856 yards. For the corresponding
period of the fiscal year 1886 the num-
Der of yards of colored cotton goods ex-
ported was 4,515,716, and of uncolored,
81, 652, 6O6 wards; total, 80, 16S, 1922, show
ing an increase of %, 9SS, 4l3 yards during
the last seven months, compared with
the corresponding period of the year
before. This, says the Boston Journal,
| shows that whether or not New England
manufacturers are able to compete with
the old England manufacturers, they are
doing so, and moreover the increase in
dicates that the cottsn fabrics of America
are finding favor in the markets where
they go. 1t may further be presumed
that the manufacturers of New England
find this trade remunerative, else they
would not have increased it nearly
seyenty-fve per cent. in the period above
stated. The difference in wages between
This country and England is not so
greatly to our disadvantage as it was five
Years ago; but our better machinery,
cheap power and greater varieties OF
colored cotton goods put American man
ufacturers on an equality with the En-
elish manufacturer.
