seems that the following are the para.

not so conditioned as to be unable to

STEADY DECLINE IA DIVIDENDS

Ever cince 1885," says the Chicago
Timcs-icrald, there has been a
steady decline in the dividends real
lied by stockholders in New England
cotton mills. ~ report of the dividends
declared by thirty-seven establish
ments at Fall River shows that the
dividends paid during 1897 amounted
to $772,000, which was IN average of
3.S9 per cent. on the capital. The year
just closed was the worst for Thirteen
years. Thirteen of the thirty-scven
establishments at Fall River paid no
dividends al all for the last quarter OF
the year. This unsatsfact Glory condi-
ton has been brought about by the
increasing competition OF the Southern
mills. Mr.. Coolidge. OF the Boston
Journal, finds that labor in the South
ern mills is 25 to 30 per cent. cheaper
than in the New England mills and
that they have the advantage Of 10
per cent. longer hours. Such condi-
tons made it necessary to cut wages
in the New England mills or go out
of business"
Mr.. Dingley. speaking in the Sen
ate on Thursday of this week. de-
clared that the South's advantage in
the cotton mill industry is only tenn
porary, and that before long the New
england mill owners will regain their
old footing. but it does not appear that
the New England people agree with
him. and the best proof that this Is so
Is found in the fact that any number
OF mill owners from that section have
already moved their plants South and
others are preparing to follow.
According to the New Orleans Plea
yune the superiority OF Southern mills
is based upon the following facts: In
the first place, 1t says, the great ma
jorlty of Southern mills are new es-
refreshments, provided with the very
best and latest machinery. Many of
the Fall River mills are old affairs,
hence are not as economical houses
as their rivals. In the second place
the Southern mills have the great adj
vantage of being right at the source
OF cotton supply, hence are able to
save considerable in Transportation and
handling charges, which, in this day
of keen competition, affords great
advantage. Lastly, 1t is claimed, that
the Southern mills pay less for labor.
But why talk Of these things, when
everybody who has any interest in the
cotton manufacturing industry what
ever, Is aware of them. 1t Is not loo
much to sly that in time tie South
