The statements of the Fall River
mills for the quarter ended July 80,
this year, indicate that the long-de-
pressed cotton industry in New Eng
land, especially that part of it located
in Fall River, is coming in slowly, it is
true, but surely for some of the bene-
fits of better times. In the first three
months of the present year all the mills
paid out $265,525 for dividends-a rate
of 1.21 per cent on capitalization of
$22,023 900, as compared with rs per
cent for the preceding quarter. During
the quarter in question all the mills
are credited with having made money,
though nine out of thirty-eight cor
porations passed dividends-a fact that
is explainable on the ground that they
have decided to devote their earnings
to the wiping out of debts or to the
purchasing of new equipment. Unless
present Indications are incorrect the
next quarters report will reveal a
much healthier condition of affairs.
