'''Hew Eeoord for Profit
!"'' er Spindle
(front lh New York Journal of ComiMrei.)
The Ttltile World-Rcord'ii anauai report
of mlD construction for 1W7 reads as fol-
lows: '.v '
Tw' lundi-ttl and glxty-tlire new mills
are rcportrd om having ti ti:ilt In the
United States In ml a romparad with 30J
'.n ISM. An Inert use is found In Ilia number
of new allk mills but cotton worltn nd
knitting each show da-miaM. This slackMi-
ing In new mill construction In what has
i .'H despite tlte flnanrlal flurry the moet
f mapenaa twelve mouths In the hlmory of
i ne sountry Is explained by the ehortas of
nulled help that has prerailnd up to almost
me end of th yenr. This shortage has ex-
isted not'tinlv.tn mills but In machine shops
end new mill enterprise? liflt; boeu hold ba'k
r-ot only by the probability of difficulty In
1 "Ulna help to operate them but by the
u luai difficulty In yetting help to build the
inoi'hlnes with which to euulp them.
The docrease in new mill construction ran
onJiequeutly be anc;Ueil to j rospprlty
; ittier than taken as an Indicate. n of a alucn-
:ing In the text(le trade. The Ions time
t . '-eeaarlly occupied In plantilni; nud huilri-
ii.ir a mill along with the tact that a mill
!ic stnrted must be finished makes our
.cord for iStfl an indicator of th condition
'..-availing In the labor and good market
1 tha latter part of 190 nnd thu lirst half
. r this year. Tim effect of present conditions
1 mill construction will be reflected In thu
rd 'of. the coming year.
. early 9 per cent of the spindles In the
v cotton mills are reported from the
th where the record is practically the
- as ta 1906. Jr
t ue tendency of the various branches of
textile manufacture to concentrate Is plain-
ly seen In the record of 107. Tbe South and
New England claim all but U.0M or thtf..
(KM cotton spindle and all but 100 of the IS.
624 cotton looms. New England and tha
Middle States bava Zl of the new weolen
and worsted milk. The Middle Btatas alone
bava of tbe SS knitting mills. Three
States New Jersey. Pennsylvania and New
York have 41 of the 61 silk mlllst
Comparing the 101 record with the years
1W1 to 1306 Inclusive we find that Uie U
new cotton mills In 107 number three more
than the annual average forTnat fire-year
period. The 26 new 1M woolen and worsted
mills are lust half of the five-year average.
The knitting mills In 1907 come well up to
the annual average of K for the preceding
five years. Tha M silk mills In 1997 are to
be "omnared with the annual average of
45 for the same five years. Comparing the
totals we find the average number of mills
per year from 1901 to 1! Inclusive to be
tai. as compared with SS: In UV7.
The record for 1907 can well be taken as
highly satisfactory although It shows po
such boom as that which has added 10.000000
spindles to Lancaster's total In the last two
vears. Mill building In the United States
has certainly not been overdone. This 1
not due to the greater conservatism of Amer-
ican manufacturers. It Is the result of the
cause mentioned at the beginning of this
article. The moderate pace In the building
of Amerhau mills In 1907 la an auspicious
flpn for a prosperous 19ISJ.

Fallg Eiver Profiti
FALL RIVKR Maan.-Ttvj year 1907 will
stand umong the "red letter" years In the
Mstory of cotton manufacturinc; lu our city.
The profits per spindle have never been ex-
ceeded. Save In Its very earliest days when
soms of the mills then running paid 6 cents
per pound for cotton and sold its K"ods at
6 cents per yard. That Ulatorj however. Is
very ancient and taking the years since Fall
River kaa become a prominent factor In the
coltou Industry the year now closing will
stand among the brightest during its history.
The product of the year at Ita opening Was
sold for several months ahead and as tlte
months came forward this was largely added
to until when the summer months came more
was but Uttlo of the product of the year un
sold and very soon contracts were being
made that ran well Into the year 108. Tnla
Includes both the "coarse" as well as the
"fine" yarn mill producti. Prices which on
a basis of 4 cents for regulars (28-lucu.
44-4 7 yards) were considered very gooU.
continue to advance and during the year
that special grade rvaxjhej 6 1-4 cents.
On many of the old lines particularly of
the wide loom products t including uo.h Uie
"ooarso" and "llne'Vyarns) advant-es of or
3 cents per yard were established. Tha
product of this year lias bocn closely sold
and the year close wltu our mills practical
bare of stock; and a at tits close of last
year quite a large amount sold for delivery
early In the year now at hund.
To forecast the days to come Is difficult
owing to tloVeculmr abnormal financ.al
situation througn which we are aasln. but
which seems to be returning to a normal
stats. Laavlng that particular point out uie
year ha developed tbe fact that the ordinary
needs of the country will call for tne product
of our looms and spindles and while prices
mag not remain where profits will bo abnor-
mal the general position Is favoraUe to a
good business for the coming year. a.id there
or possible factors that will not only prevent
accumulation of stocks but are Ua le to de-
velop a lack of supply similar to that of the
twelve months now drawing to a close.
The closing paragraph of the article writ-
ten for your Issue of January 2 of the cur-
rent year had this Item "and If the Eastern
trade should during the year develop even
to a moderate extent the market can not
fall to rule In sellers' favor." As the East-
ern trade did not develop during tha year
that factor re mains as an element of th
ntarket for the coming year: on that should
k figured ea tbe ouUsok one that is
more probable than a year ago and with In-
creased power If realised.

SOME EES0LTJTI0NS OK THE PANIC
Meeting at Comanche Becommends a
Special Legislative Seuion.
(Houston Pail i'ron.1
COMANCHE Texas January 11. At a
masn meeting at the court house at 2:30 p. m..
called by Hon. J. M. Prcsler and others the
following resolutions were adopted by unani-
mous vote:
Whereas The country has lately experi-
enced and is still distressed by the most un-
warranted money panic and unjustifiable dis-
turbance of normal business conditions
known In its history due in a large part to
the fiiuliv and detective banking system
both htini: and National whlcn permits tirst
nn unduu ci ncentratton oi' the money of tne
country In the banking centers of the Last
and allows use of It Injurious to the trude
and commerce of the country after It la
conceniruuil depriving the South und Wet
of th; in cessary currency to move tne crops
and nufil' me needs of knitlinate business
creating distrust on the pari of bank de-
positors and s general disposition to with-
draw deposits; and
Wheniis We believe- that the present slt-
ttatl'.n curt b greatly relieved and a simiiur
occurrence prevented by the National mid
State governments taking such measures as
will In t it. ct guarsntee deposits In National
and State banks against all risk of luss by
reaH.n . i such deposits and that It la due
the peop.e so long as 11 remains " pomj
of the .National and State governments to
oliaiter audi institutions and uold tnem lortti
to the people as worthy of the.r business and
trust to provide such guarantee and Im-
munity against loss; and
Vk liar. iih. We further believe such guaran-
tee of bank deposits would more quickly re-
store the mutual confidence between the
banks and the people ncoessary to the re-
storation of normal business conditions.
which can not be brought about so Iciig as
the people are afraid of the banks and the
hanks of the people that the depositor must
bo mndu to feel absolute sate In his de-
posit on the one hand so as to secure the de-
positor of hla money in the bank an'! the
bank on the other hand must be made to
feel secure that such deposits will not ba
withdrawn except In the ordinary course t
huMness' that there will be neither hoarding
1 f money by the people nor by the banks but
tlte imn'ey of the country will find the leg t-
lu ate channels of trodu and commerce aicl
so remain unemployed without being sub-
jected to unexpected stringencies and panics;
therefore be It
Resolved By the citizens of Comanche
cotinty Texas In masa meeting assambled
that It Is tha sense of this meeting that thu
governor should convene the legisleture In
extraordinary session at an early date for
the purpose of enacting suitable legislation
to guarantee deposits In State banks against
risk of loss as contemplated In the State
bank amendment to tbe constitution; be it
further
Resolved Thst we believe that congress
should at the present session enact similar
legislation guaranteeing in effect depositors
In National banks against risk of loss and
that our legislature. If convened should by
Joint resolution memorialise congress to this
effect; be It further
Resolved Thst a copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to the governor to the Dallas
Mews and ths Fort Worth Record.

PROGRESS OF ZI0NISTIC W0EK.
Jews Will Ultimately Reach Their Goal
but Must Exercise Patience.
(Hotuton Pott Srtciai.)
BEAUMONT. Texas. January H.-At tho
Friday night service of Temple Emanuel the
local Jewish minister Mr. Klkln spoke on
Zionism. The only real Zionists remarked
the speaker wero the so-called "Hoveol
Zion." Lovers of Zlon who claimed that the
enly solution of the Jewish problem was
the setting up of an autonomous government
In Palestine. Colonisation throughout the
world had been going on ever since the time
that the first Zionistlc movement had been
started by Bar Cochba (the nan of a star)
but tho failure of which rebellion had em-
bittered his followers against him so that

Rome lias a Jewish mayoc. For Russia also
will dawn tho lUht of liberty and freedom.
This day of awakening may be acme time In
ccmlng. for "a thousand years are in God's
sight as yesterday;" but It will come. In
the meantime we must have patience. What
thu spirit of freed' m and liberty has don
for the Jew In our own country. In England
in France and Germany the same will bt
dene for the Russian Jew. The manifest
dt stlny of the Jew la dlspers'on. Truth does
not confine Itself to one land and to A 'raham
tha promise was gven "In tTiee Tall all
the families of the earth be blessed."
