COTTON GOODS
PRICE CUT THIRD
BY AMOSKEAG co.

Manchester, n. H., Sept o2.-Cot
ton goods manufactured by the Amos
keag Company have been reduced
onc-third in price. The present pro :
duction of the company, which EN-
pioys 10000 operatives in it's cotton
divisions, is four million yards each
week.
Ihe company gives as its reason for
the reduction the fear that the cotton
market, unsettled. because of heavy
cancellation of orders. might reach q
condition similar to that of the wool
market, as a result of which the
Amoskeag wooden department has
been closed for several weeks with no
immediate prospects of reopening.
