LACE Curtains.

Less than a dozen years ago every pair or
lace curtains sold in this country was imported
from England. To-day there are dozen mills
and 100 lace making machines in the united
States. These machines represent an invested
capital OF more than 81 100000 and turn out
at a rough estimate about 100000 pairs Of
lace curtains annually.
The firms controlling these mills and their
enormous products. together with the firms who
handle all the lace curtains imported from Eu-
rope have their headquarters in New-York.
They have their offices in the very heart Of the
dryeoods district. and their yearly business foots
up 10 millions of dollars.
The introduction OF lace-making machines In
America and the natural competition which
followed have worked a revolution in the lace
curtain industry Ii has increased the volume
OF business to an enormous extent. although
cutting the standard prices almost In half has
made the manufacture of lace curtains more
profit al BILE than ever AS a matter OF course.
the public has reaped its share of the beneht.
Twenty years ago curtains. even Of the cheap
est grades. were expensive. To-day dollar
will buy pair Of curtains that few years
ago would have cost five times that amount.
And in the opinion of conservative men. VINO
are in a position to know. the prices Will be sttil
lower when certain additions and improvements
to the existing plants are perfected Although
the industry naturally suffered during the ~
cent dull times. tn, heads Of the leading cur
tain houses In this city say that they are moro
than satisfied with the outlook and anticipate
big revival in the trade during the next month
Few people understand the difficulties and
| risks Of manufacturing lace curtains said the
head Of one Of the leading firms. Indeed. there
are few people who have even the remotest idea

would probably show that the present Indebted
ness OF the manufacturing interests to the sell
ing houses Of New-York for advances Is not far
short OF one-half OF their capitalization. The
Importance Of a market holding such a power ms
this. to say nothing of Its stock holding inter-
ests. cannot be overestimated. 1t makes the
New-York merchants paramount I'm the DISPOSE
ton OF merchandise. and as they are always
working under the incentive to realize against
their advances selling houses are always az
fordng buyers such opportunities as other cities
have not the power to afford
There are some textile products which are al
most entirely sold by New-York houses to the
exclusion OF other cities or direct business by the
mills. This Is particularly the with printed
cotton goods. Probably not more than l per
cent of the printed cotton fabrics used in this
country reaches the consumer without having
first been put upon the market in New-York
In dress goods Of the bingham sort the per-
centage Is not much larger.
