iisbments operating 2l22 sets of cards, total
Of 1851 for the country. The result Of tho
inquiry is in brief that in Massachusetts the
cnrtalment OF production amounts to the stop
page OF 39S sats; Maine, 35 sets; New Hsmp-
shire, 80; Vermont, 1S; Rhoaa Island, 1888;
Connecticut 130 sets. Total 100 sets, or more
than one-third OF the entire capacity, and the
total reduction in consumption of wool will
thus amouns TO 230700 pounds per day, or
about seVen millions per month, which would
have serious influence upon the wool market.
There are undoubtedly more sets of cards in
New England not being operated than here re-
ported, but replies to circulars indicate concIu-
svely that many woolen mills are shutting
down, that the depression in that industry Is
not Idle talk. IL d fair proportion of the 2o0
