FLAX AND LINEN.
The Manufacture from the Fibre to the Finish.

The Manufacture from the Fibre TO the Finish
ed Fabric.
A gentleman who is prominently con
nected with the manufacture of linen in
Europe and WHO is the representative in
New York of one of ths leading firms on
the other side of the Atlantic, was asked
by representative of the Daily Dry
Goods Reporter to give few facts CON
corning fax culture aud linen maui
facture in their relation to each other.
"Well," said he Il do not believe that
it will hurt my business to give you a
few points. The question of fax culture
has been SO thoroughly discussed in this
country of late that there Is little for me
to add. The Economist has been on the
right track all Vie time, but there is one
point which you have not yet touched
and which is of the utmost importance,
as showing what relation exists between
the agricultural aud the industrial side
of the question"
"Will you enlig hten us on this'subjectP
"Certianly. The amount of work which
is done on linen from the field to the
finished fabric is much more than on
perhaps any other textile with the ex-
ception Of silk. The manipulation of
cotton is very easy aud almost nothing
as compared with flax in all stages of
manufactures. To show you what
importance fax spinning mill can have
for agriculture, | may state that mill
having say ten thousand spindles and
spinning the finer numbers, can consume
annually the product of a5 least two
Thousand acres, while a much larger
acreage would be necessary 70 supply the
same number of spindles working for
coarser yarns. The greater difficulty in
the manipulate of fax as pared with
cotton reuders IL necessary to employ
nants, and as an employ in
dustry the linen is one of the foremost,
if the prop ortionate amount of wages
as com pared with material in the finish
ed fabric is alone taken into considers
ton"
care you believer in the future of 30
American linen Industry"
az am an i'm porter and my interests
are more on the other side of the Atlantic,
but do not see what should be in the
way TO prevent the development of such
an industry here. Mind, it will be slow
work, but the outlook is not very favor
abs Just at present. II it was, | should
be one of the strongest advocates of such
industry here and would be the first to
make beginning and invest some cap
ital here. It is, however, too soon yet"
The number of q X spindles in the
various countries ia interesting. The
fax industry does not come up to cotton
or woolens. II is, nevertheless, very
important industry, to the magnitude OF
which the criterion of the number of
spindles caunot be fairly applied when
com Dared to other textile industries. In
fax, as we'll as in cotton, Great Britain
also takes the lead in the number of
spindles, as seen by the following figures:
Great Britain aud Ireland, 100000;
France, 500, 900; Belgium, $50 600; Austria,
10000; Germany, 10 900; Russia, 10000;
other states, $4,000.

The most tart fruits will make the firm

be used. But in the case of peaches,

water must be added TO them for the fret

and would burn before any juice could

Between midnight March Bid and neon
March 4th, the B q o r r carried into
Washington, sixty thousand excursion
passengers, in addition to its regular local
and through travel. From three O'Clock,
afternoon Of the 4th until midnight of the
9th, an equal number was carried from
Washington. Allowing an average Of so
passengers 10 the car, including Sleeping
and ParloT Csrs, it required 200 GERS to
accommodate the multituies Adding to
this the necessary number of Baggage
Cars TO take care of the baggage Of passen-
gers and the supplies and paraphernalia of
military companies, bands and marching
clubs, it will he seen that the B. & o.
hauled a train of cara into Washington
every fifteen minutes from midnight March

Washington every fifteen minutes from 3
p. m. of the until midnight of the 5th.
In handling this immense volume Of
business, in so short time, net single
accident occurred and not passenger was
injured; not a car was derailed and not on
engine failed to perform it allotted task.
During ell this time there was an inses-
SAINT fall OF rain and sill out door work was
invested with very depressing conditions.
The satisfactory manner in which this
great movement was conducted reflects the
highest credit upon the operating depart
ment of the B. q o. Company, and indi-
Gates the promptness and intelligence with
which each member of the entire rank and
