July 1.-The Guardian IN
: It's commercial article says the tone OF the
market IS somewhat dull. Many sellers eX-
pected higher rates, owing TO the good bust
ness done recently, but it was soon evident
that it would be possible to place but few
orders at better prices. There was much
steadiness, however, and in most depar.-
ments there was hardening tendency.
Export yarns We're quiet and there was
little inquiry. The recent transactions
were sufficient 10 relieve the most pressing
sellers. Stocks are much reduced.
There was little success in raising prices,
and Fridays best rates We're barely sup
ported. the close becoming more active.
Much business has been done for China and
India in the last two or three weeks,
especially in the favorite plain goods. Wider
widths are attracting special attention, and
manufacturers are about 10 produce these
goods all under contract. The other de-
partments of the cloth trade, especially that
for narrow printing cloths and other light
narrow goods, are neglected and orders are
wanted The best makes Of heavy goods,
especially for China, are well sold.

Last night town site company was organ

f. Gates, vice president; Rev G. S. Hardy,
secretary and treasurer. The company mad
previously purchased $50 acres of land two
and one-half miles east of Frazer and had

charter and go TO business right, as they
represent value of more than million
dollars They have paid in 5000 towards
starting the wheel to rolling. This orgaui-
Zation is the result Of the overflow at
Frazer and will either kill the place or the
company will lose nice little pile of money.
They have not christened the new child vet

Situation ofTextile Mills.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin of Sat
urday last says: ''rhe cotton mills con-
tipue to be well employed though they are
nor rushed with orders. They are operat-
ing under favorable circumstances as re-
CARDS cost of cotton, price of goods, condi-
ton of labor market, etc, and there could
be no reason why the present season should
not be a profitable one. Not many new
mills are being erected which is a fact
more to be thankful for than otherwise
There We're, however, several new enter
prises set on foot this week, though not of
large proportions, and news is received of
the resumption of several mills, one OF
which, Rhode Island cotton factory, has
long been idle.
The print cloth mills of Fall River have
reached the point to which they have long
been tending, where they must either cut
down wages or cease production. OF the
two policies the latter is the one that should
be adopted. The difficulty TO be overcome
is an excess of goods, not high cost of pro-
ductiop, and this difficulty can only be met
by closing the mills. 1t is not cheap goods
that are wanted, but less Of them.
The wooden and worsted goods mills are
well employed on orders for next summers
wear. The styles and varieties of cloth
manufactured do not vary much from what
were made last season.
The hosiery and knit goods factories are
running moderately, though the business is
by no means depressed. It is only the slack
summer season. Wooden manufacturers
are very confident as to the future of their
business, as is evidenced by the unusual
amount of increases to plants and ma
chinery that are being made. American
made goods are coming moro and more into
prominence. and there is no reason in the
world why we should not manufacture as
fine cloth here as across the water
The silk industry continues depressed,
but shows signs of reviving. OF course IN
der the circumstances new mills would not
be in order and are not being erected. One
factory, recently completed in New York
state, made its first shipment of silk this
week, and it is reported that Chinese silk
factory will be started in e. Paso, Tex,
though 1t is not probable that the factory, if
erected, will be of large proportions. The
silk-plush industry continues to enjoy
boom, and the machinery in the industry is
well employed, especially in the vicinity of
Philadelphia. Within the past three
months considerable additions have been
made TO the plush plants there, and this
week the news is received that the Victoria
mills will soon increase their capacity.
Manufacturers could not desire the Industry
10 be in better position.
