Porto Rico.
The Madrid dispatch announcing the
arrival of the Spanish torpedo fotilla at
Porto Rico Friday was quite unexpected
in Washington and created considerable
comment in navy circles. The arrival of
the tlotilla% surpasses all forecasts as to the
time necessary to make the trip and indi-

partment received information during the
day that the Vizcaya and Oquendo, the
Spanish cruisers which have been at Ha-
vana, had left that port. Their destina-
ton is not known, but there is reason to
believe they have gone to join the torpedo
1lotilla.
A Havana dispatch states that the Span

maintained in the harbor at Key West by
the Cincinnati and two torpedo boats.

Bradstrect's Weekly Review.
Bradstreet's Weekly Review says: A
week of rather quieter general trade and
of smaller distribution, due to easily ex-
p%tainable causes, closes a quarter which
has been eminently satisfactory to nearly
all the branches Of trade and productive
of an unprecedented business in many
favored lines. The heavy foreign demand
for our products, particularly agricultural
staples, and the active domestic movement
in most lines are evidenced by the heavily
increased bank clearings reported for the
quarter, and the effect On the commercial
mortality is favorably reflected in a total,
for the first three months of 1898, of
failures and OF liabilities, involved,
smaller than the corresponding
period for four years past. Current de-
,nand and distribution at the east have
been interfered with by the uncertainties
growing Out Of our unsettled foreign reia-
lions. This has been particularly mani
fest In a most pronounced in%disposition on
the part of buyers to anticipate future
wants and some cancellations OF orders for
WOODEN goods are attributed directly to this
cause. Little or 40 improvement is found
IN the coarse cotton goods trade, and print
cloths have marked q new low record in
quotations OF 2l-lG for regulur goods.
There is a rather more quiet condition as
regards new demands for iron and steel in
most markets and some shading in quo

NORTH CANT COMPETE
ASTONISHING GROWTH OF THE
COTTON INDUSTRY.
Evidence oiven Before the Lcs,.la-
tive Committee ON Labor At Bos.
ton-New York Detectives Inves-
eating Shooting of Laura Booth.

North Cannot Compete with South
The legislative committee on labor con-
tinued a hearing on the reduction Of wages
in cotton factories at the state house in
Boston the other day. Agent W. 5. South
worth Of the Massachusetts mills of Low
ell, took the stand. He said that when a
southern manufacturer claimed that times
were hard he meant that he was making
but 20 per cent, where he used to make 40.
His concern was negotiating a contract
for China goods to be made at the Lindale
mill in Georgia at q price which would
just cover the cost of manufacture in
Lowell.
There are $1,000 spindlcs in the compa-
ny's southern mill. Day wages are 80 per
cent less than in the north; that is, price
per hour. On the piece price the differ
encc varies from 90 TO AZ per cent. The
material costs from one-half 10 three
quarters of a cent less for the southern
mill than it would at the north, mainly
from the saving on freight.
The product of the Massachusetts mill
in Lowell is using 100000 pounds per
year, so that difference would mean $780,
600 per year saving OIL the product, or 10
per cent on the capital. The saving at the
Georgia mill is $4,000 OH its 7,0OO,O 900
pounds product. Then q great deal of this
product goes to China, via Vancouver, and
the freight 10 81 a bale less from Lindale
to Vancouver than from Lowell.
