situation at Pawtuckct.

Cotton manufacturers In Pawtucket
were asked this morning regarding the
PROBABLE effect upon their bpsin css OF the
agreement OF Fall River manufacturers to
curtsil production. They say tnat Rhode
Island manufacturers have beer asked to
curtsil. but those in Pswtuckst probably
will not, ns the cloth manufactured here

Are Not Favorable to the Fall
River Scheme.
Shortening of Hours Will Not Over
come Difficulty.
Over $50, 200 Pieces Sold Last Week and
the Price Was Advanced.

There has been no concerted action on
the part Of Rhode Island manufacturers
OF cotton cloth to cooperate with the
of production and according to the state
ment of indi .idusls there is not likely to
he.
The suggestion from Fall River is tina:
the hours of labor tie reduced from go to
AZ hours a week for 81 weeks beginning
with FEB. l. The concerns which have
agreed to this in Fall River control
approximately 900, 900 spindles, but there
agreement is conditional. They want the
cooperation of other New Engand manu-
faoturers to the extent of at least ], 500, 900
spindles in addition. With curtailment
as general as this it is claimed that the
production of cotton clotn would be re-
duced by 1900 pieces a week.
One of the largest handlers Of cotton in
this city said today that ne does not te-
leve that the proposed eurtailment would
remedy the evil and he suggests as a bet
ter method the complete shutting down
for 60 days. There is sufficient demand
for goods, ne said, sno prices are better.
The sole cause of the troubls Is in the
accumulation Of stock for the last is
months, taxing in the squeeze OF Decem-
ber, 1895 and the periods affected by the
results OF the Cleveland bond issue. In
cidentally the gentlemen clsimed that the
bond issue had cost the industries Of the
country as much as was realized on the
bonds themselves and that it would have
peen ches per in the end il the manufac-
turers had avoided the issue by contribut-
ing the amount desired for the national
treasury.
Returning to the subject OF the present
situation in the cotton market he said
that in New Bedford where there are
practically as many spinoles as there ere
at Fall River the mills had been running
for some time on short time, 40 end AZ
hours a week, without bettering matters
to any spprecis ole extent.
The trou Bile ori isinaied with the manu-
facturers themselves in not selling before,
even at the low prices or else in not n.y.
ing colt IN. On the contrary they psr-
sisted in buying the cotton and paying
for il and manufacturing the goods and
holding them while the cutters and con-
verters merely waited for the inevita BILE
surplus which would enable them to reap
all the benefit that there might bs under
such conditions.
In this State there were ESQ, coo pieces
of eieth seId last week and yesterday the
price was advanced Ia of cent by the
Knights.
The prices for raw cotton are good as the
result OF an enormous demand for export
and also big domestic trade. The pres
ent quotation for middling cotton is 8 Ia
cents which is an advance of l-2 cent in
20 days.
According to Dorkham's report for 1897
the number OF spindles in the cotton
mills Of the several New England states is
divided as follows:

The young man referred to in the foregoing
dispatch is thought 10 be Irving W. Adams of
this city, who was cashier for the }. B. Barn
ably Company for the past IL years. The de-
scription tallies with that of young Adams,
and the circumstances attending his recent
actions would tend TO strengthen the possibil-
ity of suicide. Adams was trusted en-
ploye anG handled great deal of cash in the
clothing house Two weeks ago he created
considerable surprise by announcing that he
was going 10 change his occupation and place
of living. He left the establishment of his
own accord and quit the city. no one knowing
where he had gone. He gave no hint of his
place of destination and left the city in a very
peculiar manner. He had the notion of sui.
eide in his head and talked about self-destruc-
tion in a calm and deliberate manner.
He said 10 one OF the girls in the store that
he was going to shave OFF his moustache and
60 away where no one would know him. He
told her there was no use in living and he
guessed he would commit suicide.
His actions have been peculiar Of late and it
was mattfr Of comment among those init
mate with him. On the evening he left the
Barnaby Company his fellow worlxmen pre-
sented him with fine umbrella, and it was
noticed that he forgot to thask his, friends.
The men of the Rarnsabby Company feel sure
that the remains found at Alton, ILL.,, on the
banks Of the Mississippi, are those of Adams.
They are somewhat strengthened in their be-
lief because the body was clad in clothing of
more than comon good quality. Adams al
ways isisted on having the very best the store
contained and was scrupulously neat in his
personal appearance. When he left the store
he wore as fine garments rs wnere in stock.
Adams has an uncle who is employed by
Henry T. Root & Co., and brother Arthur
who lives at so Ship street

Professor Munyon, the head OF the
Munyon Homeopathic Home Remedy
Company, Philadelphia, arrived in the
city yesterday bringing with him a
number of his skilled specialists, who
will be located at the City Hotel, Provi-
dence. In order to educate the public
how to doctor and cure themselves. the
professor proposes to treat patients at the
hotel absolutely free. He says he can
demonstrate that his Rheumatism Cure
will relieve rheumatism in a few hours.
He guarantees that his Dyspepsia Cure
will cure any case OF indigestion or
stomach trouble. al will demonstrate"
says the professor, "by this test that more
than 80 per cent. OF all kidney COM
plants, including Bright's disease. can
be cured with my Kidney Cure. know"
continued the professor, 'that my Catarrh
Cure will cure catarrh of the head, throat
and stomach, no matter how chronic or
long-standing. will prove by this test
that deafness can be cured by my new
system OF treatment. will show that
nervous affections and diseases of the
heart are controlled and cured by my
Nerve and Heart Cure. will prove that
my Cold Cure will break up any form OF
cold in few hours. l will convince the
most skeptical that my Headache Cure
will correct any form Of headac he in from
3 to 10 minutes, and that 1t is a splendid

that my Asthma Cure and Asthma Herbs,
taken according to directions, will relieve
any case of asthma in five minutes, and
cure in few days. i claim that my rem
edies for Female Complaints and chill
dren's diseases are positive cures, and
should be in every home, / will prove to
the medical faculty that my remedies are
absolutely harmless; that they will cure
more than 80 per cent. Of ali diseases"
Thus it will be seen by these statements
that Professor Munyon does not claim to
cure all diseases with one remedy. but he
has q separate cure for each disease.
