To a far greater degree than prevails in the
north. The tolce of character, intelligence and
pride OF gaining success and appreciation of their
fellows causes rivalry between southern planters
which northern farmers do not have except in
stock raising aud other small pursuits. AS the
cotton crop is really Che great source of wealth
on which the masses of the south depend, hence
tits bnt natural that those who have large plan
tallonS III the DO oms and vast areas of a,rable
land i'll sections where the staple can be prohta-
bly, grown, look to it us their main crop, and so
long as IL proves profitable they will continue to
prefer the cultivation OtcOtton 10 any other kind
of production from land.
In speaking of the printing cloth industry the
New York journal of Commerce says the stock
is large, but 1t does not seem to discourage them
MS in the starting up Of printing machines, which
will soon be running to their utmost, the weekly
consumption of cloths will rapidly increase. Al
of cloths at Fall River since January l,
1882 have been 2,520000 pieces.
against 4,036OC0 pieces for the same period last
year. The cost OF production is much higher
than last year. The cotton had reached IL l-l6c
fiom 10 ZIG, and cloths were
steady TO firm at ic, while now
cotton isquoted at l. Use, but not 10 be had al
that price, and cloths only steady at 1880.
The Sprague works have been idle nearly year,
rs have their cloth mills 10 the extent OF 20c9C
pieces weekly. Tho Harmony mills, producing
nearly 1900 pieces weekl. have been idle six
weeks. In these wos.oppages there has been a
curt0ilment of supply TO the extent of nearly
100000 pieces, About Providence there has
been II diversion of production TO a greater de
gree than since 1877. And while prices are SC
Improbable there is no prospect of there being
any increase. We give this outline of the situa
tion as 1t is the best evidence that the invisible
supply is of smaller proportions than since June
1877, when the stocks the chief centers reached
1906, 900 pieces
