VOTE TO LIQUIDATE
 BIG COTTON MILLS
DIFFICULTIES OF MASSAcHU- SETTS MILLS ARE ASSIGNED LARGELY TO SOUTHERN CON- PETITION.

Boston, January 9.-The stockholders of the Boott Cotton mills of Lowell voted to authorize the directors to liquidate the company at a special meeting here today To unsettled conditions in the cotton mar ket during the past year, and to southern competition, are assigned the difficulty the corporation has met in continuing business at a profitable figure. The mills were shut down for three months last year, involving not only a loss of quick capital, but an addition of $160,000 to the liabilities. The company is capitalized at s, 100000.
 President Arthur Lyman said tonight to liquidate on account of the unsettled condition of the cotton market. and be- cause of the growing competition of the southern mills with their larger build ings, more modern machinery and lower priced labor He said that against those two factors it was impossible for the Boott corporation to do business at profit.
 He added that the experience of his company has a direct bearing upon the present deplorable conditions in Fall River, inasmuch as the Fall River mills are confronted with the same adverse ele- ments that have proved too much for the Boott mills to resist. The Boott com pany was incorporated in 1885, and of late years had produced annually about 24,OOO yards of cotton goods. It has employed as high as 2OOO operatives, but of late only 1500 hands have been on the pay rolls.
