stopping OF the cotton Mills.

The Eastern cotton mills are maturing q
scheme to stop the cotton manufacture, and
compel rise In prices by scarcity in goods.
This was brought about by q breakdown In
prices at the New York auction sales OF last
week. A New York dispatch Of late date
says:
dry goods trade yesterday, owing to q break
in the prices of cotton shirting prints. Large
sales were made at reduced prices; Ameri-
can fancies declined to 81 cents, and cretons
81 cents, shirltings ~ cents, net robes 81
cents, net garden fancies S cents, and Cones
toga 5A cents. 1t Is believed this will lead to
curtailing production at Eastern print works.
1t Is said that nearly all the cotton and
woolen mills have been running full time, and
agents selling enormous quantities Of goods,
but at very small profits
