At no time during the year have holders been able to force up prices to a paying point, on account of the high price of cotton, and the over production of goods, and generally speaking, all kinds of heavy goods have netted a loss to the manufacturers. The stoppage of mills in all directions has been the consequence of this state of things, and thousands of people engaged in this branch of industry have been thrown out of employment. Judicious steps have already been taken to insure a more prosperous return to this department the coming year. |
