 The Central woolen and Riverside companies start their mills this week with uniform scale of prices at the two mills for weaving and drawing in: The price. for weaving heavy goods will hereafter be I 65 cents at both mills, this being the same price heretofore paid at the Riverside, while the price at the Central has been 7 cents. For drawing in on heavy weights, on the other hand, the Central employees get an advance from 90 to 90 cents, the same price that has been paid at the Xiv erside. The proprietors explain that the different scale of prices for weaving was originally made because the weavers on the new looms at the Central could not produce so much as could those at the Riverside. Now, however, the prodnct averages at least equal, and the change equalizes the pay of the weavers at the two mills.
