The May number Of the Home
Market Bulletin contains the result
Of canvass Of the textile hiahuhct-
urers Of New England, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania as to
the conditions Of their business. An
swers were received from 481 establish
ments, about evenly divided among
the States named, and fairly represent
ing city and country and large and
small establishments. Those answers
compare April, 1893, with April,
1895, and are summarized as accurate
ly as possible in q liable.
As to Reduction and restorations Of
wages, 1865 of the 481 establishments
did not reduce at all. Sixteen reduced,
and have partially restored; and 252
reduced and have not restored. The
Fall River and New Bedford mills,
which have recently made partial res
torations, do not enter either of the ag-
gregates above. Nearly all concerns
which did not reduce at all are either
small mills in the country or are pro-
duces of specialties In which there is
little competition, or for which fashion
has made IA good demand. In many
cases, too, where the wage rates have
been maintained, there have been re-
ductions of running time, or of hands,
or of both.
The table fairly shows that the vol
ume Of production and employment and
the wages paid are still 5 per cent, on
the average, below the coalition of two
years ago, while the orders for goods
are not quite one-halfso encouraging as
they were then; the cancellations are far
greater, and the profits are almost out
of sight.
