that is one reason they have succeeded.

IN speaking of the cotton situation in
ssachusetts, who, by the way, is a cjttnn
ter day on the growth OF the industry and
how. it has affected prices.
Only the agreement between m;tnll-
facturers has held UP the prices of cotton
goods since the South has put her capital
INTO factories, he said, .'and even al
that the combination has not been en-
ltfely successful because some of the
Southern factories have refused to hold
up prices, and as a result have competed
ether factories to drop them. The result
o. this cotton manufacturing in the South
mas been bad for the East, because up
there we have to pay freight on the raw
material and then ship it back at a
smaller price than is good for us. while
the Southern factory has no freight to
