New Neutrality-suspicious. from New
Bedford to the Journal of Commerce
says considerably more than half of
New Bedford's 10000 odd cotton mill
operatives are idle, either wholly or
partially as result of the constant
~ increasing curtailment that had been
forced on the cotton manufacturing es-
adjustments by reason of the absence
of any demand for their product. Yarn
markets were very dull at the end of
the week, but unless there is a further
series of breaks in raw cotton, mer-
chants believe that buying on the lower
plan will soon be resumed in a moder-
ate way. In cotton goods circles there
seems to be rowing opinion that in
the next four months there will be
good active business at much higher
prices.-F. & B. to w. & G.
