RUMORs OF A NEW THREAD MILL.
Americans said to Intend Building

Glasgow, June 1S.-The most careful In
quiries among the leading cotton dealers
do not justify confirmation or a con-
tradlction Of the report that an American
syndicate has completed arrangements
whereby 1t will shortly begin the opera
ton Of large thread mills at Paisley to
compete with the thread manufacturing
establishment OF ]. & p. Coates & Co. It
Is generally admitted that the high prices
now prevailing would offer a tempting in
ducement to such an enterprise. but taat
the opinion of those best qualified to
judge is that the project would be ven
turesome owing to the wide connection
now enjoyed by the thread manufacturers
OF Paisley. II an opposition to the thread
monopoly were threatened IL is believed
that that Americans would be more like
ly to begin operations at home, for II is
known that arrangements are almost COM
plete for thread agency here, absorbing
the WilIiamantic (Conn.) mills. As the
Mile End Spool Company works were ac-
aulred some time ago, Il follows that there
Is now only one important mill on the
other side.

certainty.
There has been a marked increase In
the price of coal within the past few
days and It is claimed that a 10-cent
rate per bushel in boat load lots will be
reached within the present week. The
retail dealers, as we'll as the operators
in general, concede that famine is
imminent, and look for prices to ad-
vance beyond the limit reached dur
ing the previous general strike of the
miners in 1894.
The operators OF the IS mines I'm
Marion county, w. Va, which consti-
tute the Fairmount coal region, on
which the result of the great miners
strike rests, gave an advance of 8 cents
q ton yesterday to all men. This in
crease in wages, with the cents given
the men last Wednesday, brings the
price to 40 cents a ton running coal,
which is 10 cents more on the ton than
the Pennsylvania miners are striking
for, when the difference Of railroad
rates and cost of screening are taken
into consideration. Notwithstanding
this advance, the sympathies of many
Of the miners in that region are with
the strikers, and the organizers may
yet succeed in getting the men dut.
