featuring In this city, 1t is expected
that more than 100000 spindles will
be idle during the month of August,
due mainly to the high prices in the
cotton market and the hesitancy of
purchasers of goods to agree to any
marked advance while any raw materi.
al purchased before the rise remains
In the storehouses.
Attempts have been made to induce
all cotton manufacturers to enter a
general agreement to smut dSwn for a
stated period or on certain days OF
each week, but owing to large num-
Der of unfinished contracts an iron
clad agreement was deemed inexpe-
dent at this time.

ket have caused much Inconvenience
