THE MORNING POST. AUGUST 10. 1899. THE HORID'STIXTIUGEHTER i Manchester's Great Cotton Milling Industry. Suggestions for the South In a Let ter to the Baltimore Manuf actur ers' Record- A staff correspondent of the Manu facturers' Record, who is in, England Investigating the textile and iron in terests, writes to that paper about the. cotton manufacturing business of (Manchester, as follows: 'Within an area of fifty miles around this city are located 1,700 cotton man ufacturers, controlling 42,101,000 spin dles and; .C3S.000 looms. Manchester bas indeed the right to bo called the great textile manufacturing center of the world. In and near it are numerous other itwintrifw. but-, the manufacture of rtnHnn .fnh-Mps is so extensive that all f the oWier work is insignificant Jn comparison The famous ship 'canal wilvip-h connects it with the ocean owes, litis infp.nt.imi .nrincinally to the efforts f the spinners to cheapen the cost of transporting the raw material and fin ished products, altliougn Liverpool, which is still the principal seaport xor receivine1 the cotton, is, but thirty m-riles distant, and connected with it ihv spvpral lines of railway. But Liv erpool's cotton commerce will steadi ly decline. This is the prediction of hose best in a position to know, as they show by statistics how the Amer ican, Egyptian and Indian cotton is "being received more and more at the (Manchester wharves, where it is dis tributed to the mills, some of which are built directly on its banks. Of all these plants", not one is op erated 'by water-power. Such streams as are to be found in the 'Carolina s and Georgia, for example, are unknown in this part of Great Britain, where most of the cotton goods are finished. Neither has this' district any special advantage in the way of fuel, for the fcoal, although im'lned in the Avest of England, costs from $2,50 to $3.50 per ton, and is much poorer for steam pro ducing than the George's Creek, Poca hontas or Alabama coal, as it contains a large percentage of slate and other impurities. It comes by rail and ca nal, and is used almost entirely- to the exclusion of other grades. Lancashire, (however, has an abundance of pure water, and the population of this part of the Queen's domain seems espe cially adapted to handling the loom and spindle, inheriting the trade from ancestors ranging as far back as 150 years. Yet they are extremely igno rant and much lower than the mill (hands of the Carolines, for example, in natural intelligence. These factors have played an im portant part in the development of the cotton industry hereabouts, for The water supply and quality allow the poods to be bleached where manufac tured, 'and not sent to another part of the kingdom to be whitened at an ex tra expense. The hands work for a very low scale of wages, and though anany of the plants are in small towns, where the employes have some of the advantages of rural life, even in the hamlets land is so 'high in this crowd ed country that they are huddled to gether in blocks of tenements and (have no conception of manner in which Southern mill hands are favor ed when compared with them. The ship canal, although recently completed, has had a most beneficial liffect on the Manchester factories. (Although six plants, representing 90, 000 spindles and 2.000 looms, discon tinued business in 1808, thirty-one new enterprises were established," so that an actual gain for the present year 5s recorded of 395,000 spindles and 9,000 looms, in spite of the number ceasing operations. Several plants now being erected will further in crease these figures by January 1, next. And the prospects of the spin ners, according to the most conserva tive statements, are very bright. Nev er in their history have the companies had more demand for their product, and many of the largest plants are doing -double time." When asked as to the reason of this demand and the possibility of its long duration, one of the most extensive manufacturers said to the writer: "We have orders for our product for the next five months, and as far as I can see, will be compelled to operate our mills with a full force for the next year, if not ilonger. The demand comes largely from British "and Con tinental consumers, but we are also shipping much to East India. There is no demand from any particular quarter. Orders are being received in the same proportion from all parts of our territory." It Is unnecessary to say that this should be gratifying news to the American cotton-growers, since the Southern States contribute in such a measure to the supply of raw material in this district. The disastrous management of some Of the larger cotton mills of the Man Chester district is familiar to readers of the 'Manufacturers' Record. So greatly was the confidence of invest ors shaken by these reverses that cot- ton-m'iu stocks until recently have (been regarded with much disfavor for speculative or investment purposes. Today these securities, paying 10 per cfiOt, annually in divdiends, can be l-Snght readily at from 150 to 175, ac cording to the.jauctuations of the mar ket. Experience, though a batter teacher, has been thorough, and ihe loose and reckless methods of financier ing "haye given- place t'o prudence and conservatism. , The writer learns on excellent authority that fully 75 per cent of the active miJIs in this district are earning enough to pay . the divi dend mentioned-and 5 per cent addi tional to pay for' new equipment. MICROBES IN THE BEARD. Here's a Doctor Who Has Found a New Home for Them. In the earliest and, perhaps, the best of all "Books of Nonsense," remarks the Cleveland Plain Deajer, the reader was entertained with the embarrass ment, of a certain "old man with a beard, who said it Is just as I feared," the apprehension thus realized Deang that the fowls of the air would build their nests in the temmting thicket of hair which depended from that old man's chin.' The beard of real life does not, of course, afford such ample har borase for the feathered race as this Its invasions and appropriation by "two cocks and a hen," "three larks and a wren," is not really to be feared; ve'.t it mav. it appears, have tenants of an infinitely smaller size, but of in- vM-elv -nmnortionate Bowers of mis- x i - . chief. Dr. Schoull. of Tunis, has dicovered that it is simply a happy huntin ground of bacilli. He has proved it upon the guinea pig, whom he has in oculated with "the material obtained from beards and moustaches," with re sults distressing to the guinea pig and alarming to all those who had been in move or less close contact with the beards and moustaches aforesaid. .This is a very disagreeable discovery, and may seriously affect the popularity of a form of facial adornment which has hitherto been regarded as open -to no other objection than that it is a nuis ance to its wearer when in the act of taking soup. But what are a few stray shreds of vermicelli compared with a whole army of able-bodied bacilli lying in ambush for their victims, and, what is more, ready to make victims of any body who happens to come within their range? No wonder Dr. Schoull insists on the thorough disinfection of all beards and moustaches which their wearers refuse to remove. The next step to be taken by the Royal Society for 'the Prevention of Tuberculosis is to require all persons who have been certified as suffering from consumption to be clean shaven, a well-skilled bar ber being for that purpose added to the staff of each one of the new sana tori a for tuberculosis which are shortly 88 Strengthens4 System Body Brain and Nerves.

A well-known curio expert states that there are factories in Europe for the manufacture of all kinds of works of art that are likely to attract the col lector. Modern articles of China are stamped with old marks so cleverly that even experts have been deceived says the Tottery Gazette. Arms and armor are treated with acids which eat away the metal, thus producing the same effect as the ravages of time. Carved ivories are stained with oils to make them yellow, and are subject ed to heat to make them crack. Pieces of furniture have holes drilled to rep resent the worm holes, nnd fo on. until there will, in time, be very little in the way of curios which aTe themselves really curious. Paris is one of the strongholds of this class of forgers, while in Hungary there is a factory where Dresden phinn. is imHittwi i fair manner.
