Among the Mills.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin says:
mo new cotton factories are reported this
week, though extensions are to be made to
the plants of two large New Hampshire cor
porations. A spinning factory in New
Jersey has been started up, to manufacture
fine cotton yarn As mentioned in the Bulle-
tin some time ago, the tendency of northern
manufacturers is towards the production of
finer yarns and finer goods, leaving the
manufacture Of the coarser goods to the
Southern mills. Everywhere in theNorth,
where new machinery is put in or addi-
lions made to plants, the object Is to make
finer goods.o
Consultations are a feature Of the manu-
featuring situation at present, and this
week two large ones are reported. One Of
the cotton duck manufacturers Of the
United States, with a capital 5000, 600 and
the other Of the plaid mills in North Caro-
lima. Neither Of these combinations has
been effected, and they are merely reported
as proposed. But one new woolen mill Is
reported this week, and that will be erected
in Vermont, on the site of a mill recently
destroyed by fire. A new knitting factory,
has been put in operation in Massachusetts,.
Both the wooilen and knit goods mills are
well employed. the latter especially SO.
1.-THE shoe manufacturing situation is I'M
changed Some Of the factories are being
run moderately on orders, while others are
closed altogether. A feature OF the situa-
ton Is the amount Of moving done by
manufacturers. This week four large New
England firms are reported as about to
move to some other point in that section.
The principal reason Of these changes lies
in the exorbitant demands made by the la
Dor element. Already several large firms
have been driven out Of Lynn by trades
unionIsm. and it is rumored that others may
soon follow No new boot or shoe factor
les are reported, but additions and repairs
are being made on o number Of factories in
this section and in the West The rubber
boot and shoe factories are being shut down
stock.
The Minneapolis linen mills are about to
be started up At first the machinery will
be run on crash and Afterwards on fancy
toweiing. American grown fax will be
used as raw material and American labor
employed. and it is said that the mill's prod

COTTON REPORT.
Nearly All the Cotton States Late in Plant
Ing, Owing to the February Rains.
Reduced Acreage.

WASHINGTON, May 9.--The cotton report
Of the department Of agriculture for May
relates to the progress Of planting. The
proportion Of the proposed breadth already
planted May was T.5 per cent which is
less than the average Of q series Of years.
Many correspondents report planting one
to two weeks late. 1t is especially late in
North Carolina and Tennessee, fully one
third Of the area yet to be seeded. North
OF the gulf states, from Georgia to Texas,
state averages vary only2 or 3 per cent.
The figures are as follows:
Virginia, 40; North Carolina. 6S; South
Carolina, IS; Georgia, so; Florida, SO;
Alabama, so; Mississippi, q; Louisiana, IS:
Texas, 20; Arkansas, IS; Tennessee, Il.
The delay is due in all sections of the cot
ton belt to excessive rainfall in February
and March, which made early blowing i'm
practicable and to very general deficiency
in April rendering the soil dry and cloddy
and hindering termination. The seed bed
rs q rule has been imperfectly prepared
and is in q relative poor condition.
Reports intimate, as result Of the un-
favorable spring, that reduction of acre
age may be expected. This may depend
somewhat on the opportunity for complet-
ing the area during this month and the
prospective profits Of large breadth of
cotton. sse3ss

DISCOVER A PLOT.
Great Excitement Caused by Numerous
Arrests in Russia.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Some surprise was
expressed in this city upon receipt Of a
dispatch today announcing that extraor-
binary activity was being displayed by
the Russian government In connection
with internal disturbances N the empire.
It was thought at first that the govern
ment's action was due to troubles arising
from the scarcity of food in many dis
tricts Of Russia, as for some days
past dispatches have been received de-
picting the terrible suffering of starving
peasants Many acts of lawiessness had been
committed by men rendered desperate by
the pangs Of hunger, and the statement
made that marshals of the nobility would
helo to strict accountability for any poll
tical disturbances in their districts was
taken to mean that the starving peasants
and small farmers were assuming a
threatening attitude.
The dispatch received this evening
however, puts all speculations to flight.
A short time ago it came to the knowledge
of the police that a conspiracy Was under
way. While silently pushing lnvestlga-
tions In ST.. Petersburg, the police found
the conspirators lie that city were only a
part of very numerous band, the head
quarters of which was located In Moscow
They learned, also, that the conspirators
had been very active IN securing adherents
to their plan and the conspiracy had
ramifcations which spread to all the
principal cities of the empire.
The object of the conspiracy, unlike the
majority of plots discovered in Russia, was
not to kill the Gar but was the organiza,
ton of a movement having for its end the
creation of a representative assembly--an
object which has been the dream of many
years Sixty members of the nobility and
of the upper and middle classes charged
with completely have been arrested.
Students of all the universities are under
strict surveillance.
The discovery of the plot and the arrest
of so many prominent subjects has caused a
decided sensation in Russia.
