Industrial and Financial Condition Of
England.
LONDON, December 2S.-A number oil
very alarming and sensational reports
have been received here to-day and dur
ing the last few days, respecting the IN
dustrial and financial condition OF Eng
land. The wages Of the miners andop-
eratives in all trades have been reduced
to what the men consider the lowest
living point; but the masters say they
cannot 90 on without still further re-
duction. and can scarcely see their way
to going on even with reduction.
Great uneasincss exists also among the
tenant farmers, who are iinding II al
most impossible to pay their rents and
10 keep out OF debt. The stopPage "i
the export trade to America and the
great influx of AmerlCan produce IN
crcascs the difficulties OF the situation.
The people in England thrown out OF
work are less able to buy food, and the
farmers find themselves confronted in
their own markets with cheaper Amer
can meat and grain. The future is
looked upon as gloomy in the extreme.
The Ne,r. this morning says; In
stead of Christmas turning the tile OF
events or reyiying the cotton trade at
Blackburn, the markets have gradually
dwindlcd, and this week there has been
less employment than ever. six mills
are at standstill through bankruptcy,
and others are definitely closed iorthrce
weeks. Those best verscd III the cotton
trade say the prospects "t improvement
are lar from immediate. The Oldham
cotton trade strike appears TO he aP-
preaching the end, as there are large
of operatives returning to work
at a reduction Of wages. 1t is cal 'ulatcd
that half n million spinples have been
started during the last tw" weeks at
reduced rate.
