| Boston, Dec. THAT Il widespread cur

| during the next few months. on account
| of the great cost of the raw material. is
| the opinion of leading mill men in this
city. from which the policy OF many cot

The market for finished material has
been unsatisfactory for months. and prices
have not risen correspondingly with those

pIoy fully 1890 hands. 65Oo0 Of whom
have had their wages reduced 10 per cent

within the next two weeks
A matter of great interest in New Eng

Southern States to bring about a general
curtailment A meeting of Southern man.
ufacturers has been called for next Tues
day. and II policy Of widespread curtail-
ment Is adopted 1t will have much influ-
ence the future action in large New
England mill centers.
Most manufacturers have agreed that
the cotton situation is the most critical
for twenty-five years. Arnold B. Sanford,
president of the Cotton Exchange here,
says:
1.-THE situation is very serious and the
rot see anything but a general curtaii-
ment. The conditions confronting the in
6ustry. owing to excessive speculation in
raw cotton, are the worst in many years.
The mills will not manufacture at a loss.
They must, therefore. curtail production
and reduce wages. This will result, I'M
doubtedly. in great suffering.
There are about 1000 cotton mills in the
United States. with nearly 100000 spin
dies OF this number. SO mills. with near
~ 14.50O0O0 spindles. are In New England.
About 2,1920O0 bales Of cotton are con-
sumed annually in the Northern States

Washington, Dec. 4.-The Democrats OF

Speaker Joseph Cannon was more foxy
imam magnantmous when he permitted the
minority leader. Mr.. Williams. to suggest
the names Of the Democrats for many OF
the committees.
AS this concession has worked out, Mr..
Cannon has received much praise for
rather cheap show of lbcrality; has
shouldered upon Mr.. Williams the onus
of whatever may have been unsatisfactory
to his party brethren, and at the same
time has enabled the Speaker to hold a
string on any minority Places which were
specially desired. At least. this is the way
some of the Democrats now regard Mr..
Cannon's ''liberality"

to be divided on this important question.
