Hopeful Signs,

The cotton factories cf New England
show healthy signs of the gradual ini-
provement in business. Forty nine of
the largest of those mills. which turn out
thirty per cent of the whole Northern
product, have for the arst six months of
1877 used about three per cent. more raw
material than In the same period in 1876.
Their average annual consumption il
about 3S5, 900 bales. During the first half
of last year they worked up se. sos
pounds of cotton. For the corresponding
time this year, they used s9,2as. .942 lbs.
But as the quality Of the cotton used this
year was superior to that Of last year.
the actual amount of manufactured goods
exceeds that of the first half of 1876 by
fully FIVE per cent. And, though the
manufacture has been so much larger. the
goods have all found ready markets. there
being no considerable accumulation on
hand, while the demand is still percepti-
bly, improving. If prices continue at the
present low figures IT is expected that all
the New England mills will be kept run
ming at their highest capacity during the
fall and winter to meet the demand. Al
present throughout the United States there
are annually used 1,iOO, 900 bales of raw
cotton, while from s,gee. 900 to 5000, ,00(
bales are exported.
