A Chinese Joint Stock Company for
the Manufacture Of Cotton Cloths.
NEw Yopv April 4

Z YORK, April 4.
A Shanghai letter, dated February 21st,
states that a joint stock company Of Chi
nese merchants is being formed for the
manufacture Of cotton cloths, and q very
large mill will be built at Shanghai. 1t
is also proposed that another wooden fac
tory be started at Tientsin. The selection
Of q northwest frontier tow for a wooden
mill is accounted for by the fact that in
that region Tartar sheep are very numer-
GUS, and wool can be got for the gathering,
and their fleece has not hitherto been
properly utilized. The establishment Of a
cotton mill at Shanghai is done with the
intention and determination to extinguish
the trade Of foreigners. A prominent per-
son in the movement is one Hing, who has
written strong appeals to the Chinese Gov
ernors and Generals, urging home anu
features Of cotton and wooden goods. He
says foreign workmen of renown have
already been looked out.
The Herald" commenting, says: China
is founding factories Of wooden and cotton
goods, which will hurt America more than
our ffteen-man travesty Of legislation
could hurt China.
