The prevailing sentiment among New
England manufacturers seems to be one
of decided conservatism, and while it is
thought that trade conditions will improve
somewhat during 1908. no full revival is
looked for until after the presidential
election. 1t is estimated that from 20O,-
600 to 100000 employees of New England
industries will be on a short-time basis
during the first part of the coming year
This is partially due TO the arrangement
now being made by cotton manufacturers
to curtail the output % per cent from
Christmas to March l.
