COTTON MILLS.

ing the Summer.
OKLAKOMA's NEW GOVERNOR
CaSslus N. Barnes Takes the Oath Of once
--Farmers' Wheat TruSt-TO Pay Cher
Okee Freedmen Railroad to BE
Built by CORViCts.

Boston, May GA movement which
is expected to develop into a more or
less general curtailment of production
among New England cotton mills is to
be inaugurated next month by the
mills of the Dwight Manufacturing
Co., at Chicopee, Mass, the Lyman
company at Holyoke, Mass, and the
Great Falls Manufacturing Co. at Sum-
mersworth, N. Il. The officials Of these
mills give as the reason for the step
the present unsatisfactory state Of the
cotton goods markets. All the mills
In question are engaged in the manu-
facture of sheeting, shirting and drills,
are capitalized in the aggregate at
"a, 40, 900, and operate $4,000 spindles
and about 1900 looms. The curtail-
ment will probably last during June,
July and August. Advocates Of gen.
eral shut down point to the meager
showing made in the report of the div
idends paid by the mills for the past
quarter, from which 1t appears that
SS corporations have paid to stockhold-
ers $l92,95O, or an average of seven
eighths of one per cent. on capital of
$s2, 13S,00O This is one of the slimmest
showings in the history of the business,
and indicates that the surplus accounts
from which dividends have been drawn
in the past have either been nsed up
or are needed for other purposes.

ForeoastIng the Weather.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The most
significant development in weather
forecasting for years, making it possi-
BILE to forecast for a period at least IS
hours longer than at present and more
accurately, has been attained by the
weather bureau and soon will bear
practical fruit. This is the result Of
experiments with kites flown at dis
tances one to two miles above the sur.
face of the earth. which have been
qui, ,ly conducted in this city for some
weeks. Meteorologists for the past
ten years have been impressed with
the fact that future data as to storms
must come from knowledge of upper
air conditions. The aeroplane investi-
cations, as announced to-day, have
reached that point where 1t can be
safely stated that within six months
the government weather bureau for
the first time in the history of any
meteorological service can construct a
Geographic synchronis chart based on
air conditions one mile above the earth.
The chart will cover the conditions be-
tween the Alleghenies and the Rockies
at the outset. Chief Moore says this
step probably will mark new epoch
in the weather forecasting problem.
