MILLS WILL RUN.

The Augusta Chronicle in long
and timely article, throws this light on
the mill situation in the south.
Great hope is expressed in informed
quarters that the cotton mills will not
remain idle very long and that when
they do start not minute will be lost.
The only condition now which forces
idleness on these splendid properties is
the great divergence in the prices of
raw cotton and cotton goods, All in
d1cations at present point to coming
together of the prices of these two COM
modities. Yesterday the price of raw
cotton began decline and the price of
cotton goods began to advance. Just
as soon as they gain anything like a
reasonable distance apart all the mills
will start up at once, because the man
agements of all of them are anxious to
continue operations.
A gentleman prominent as a cotton
factor and also connected with several
mills as director, IN speaking with 9
reporter for The Chronicle yesterday
spoke as follows:
The cotton situation just now is very
peculiar, more peculiar than I have
ever seen it during may my long exper
fence in cotton. No one can say witt
any certainty of Judgment what cotton
will do from one day to another, yet,
have an idea that the staple will get 6
fixed price of about 10 cents for the
season and that cotton goods will
advance somewhat above the present
figures. If this condition comes about
you will find all the southern mills, al
least, running on full time in short
while. know that the southern mills
are not only anxious to swap dollars,
but in case of pinch would run a slight
loss for a while sooner than remain
idle for any length of time. This latter
proposition I know to be true from my
connection with several mills.
