PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IS
the depressing effect If the present
condition of the cotton trade is
making itself felt in Frankfort and
Remington. The managers of the
various mills are trying to avert the
suspension of their entlre plants by
laying off the employees of one room
at a time, hoping that the trade
will take a boom. But two large
plants in Frankfort have finally de-.
cided to shut down for month at
least, and others in Kensington, it
is rumored, will soon follow their
example. The mills first to suc-
cumb are the Calcutta mill and the
Berkshire mills, both operated by
the Berkshire Mill Company, and
employing about 900 hands.

CRY OF MExrco, June IS A
tremendous drop in the price of sill
yer, bringing exchange on New
York to 6 per cent, has created
much discussion among Mexican
bankers. They generally regard
the present situation as Offering a
great opportunity for the United
States to force bimetalism upon
Europe.
1t is suggested by one man that
the United States might issue a
gold loan of $500, 600, 900 four aud
half per cent bonds, which, it is
said, would be Immediately taken
up in Europe, where all other gov
eminent securities would immedi-
ately drop heavily, not being abe
to compete with the American
bonds.
Then, according 10 the theory
gold would flow into the United
States and in short space of time
bimetallism would have to be adopt
ed by Europe and the enormous
quantity of silver held by the Amer
lean treasury would rise in value
and the transaction would be i'm.
mensely profitable to the United
States.
The United States, it is urged
could afford to undertake the 81
gantic financial operation without
being able to feel it, and has now a
wonderful opportunity to settle the
silver question permanently.
1t is said here that if nothing il
done to bring about bimetalism all
silver using countries will begir
manufacturing for themselves anc
the United Ststes will lose enor
mously in their foreign trade.
