Boston, Mass.?It has not taken a t'ght money market long to have a mo it dopresiiog eff-ct on the cotton and woolen industries of New England. This influence was first fc't in the shape of a rapid decline in prices. It didn't take long for tho manufacturers to see that reducing prices did no good whatever. The merchauts will buy no goods at any price. It is not like piling up goods in . ordinary times for in tho usual trade de preisions many goods move and itissimply a matter for the mJiij t j run and ar- si range to carry the surplus. But latt.rly P price* went down rapidly to whore New 1' Eagl.nd hai no profit left and it is a g . nU.Uuof.jdiing up-th? entire production ri of a mill to lie ab'e to ru i at all. In tho a Jr^enco of this conditio! of things I many in lis lnvc shut down and many h othtrsarc hoping for 8>mo change for o the bettor. While the Sherman bill is w abu oil, there are yet those who think the ^ en '8j of the t-oublc is in no way con- v nee cd with silver.

Tbo Fall o River men ee m to be actually afraid to i< shutdown. It is customary at this sea- j sou to close for a shoit period in the hot " term for repairs, but at the prcsoot time ooly one email woo'en mill and one hat factory are cl wed. The forty four principal and large corporations are runnin; on,but in an unwilling spirit. The dolly tries on contracts are little or nothing Only this monuog the New York hanks ha e sent to a list of New England mills rab ut two million dollars on goods. This ^ loan was fiist arranged through Boston j b nks at seven percent., but when this ( fact was learned by tbe New York cap- ( ita ists they elllninated the Boston banks j from tho transaction and loaned it to the j mills at six per rent., on their own paper, { endorsed by the commission men.

In Liwrenoo matters are very much la 1 a the same shape and great hopes are held 1 V that the Sherman law will be repealed and that business will at once revive. , At the Orotnpton Loom Works, Worcester, one hundred men have been idle uow for some time and the Knowles Loom Works have discharged as many faiore. The shutting down of the Amoskeag j mills has hid a very depressing effect and at Bi ideford, Maine, the Pepperel and iJaconia mills have 5,000 hands who may any day be notified of a shot-down and the same uncertainty prevails io LewstoD, Auburn and Waterford, Maine. The New England mills have, without ^ doubt, reached a close net cost of pro duel ion aod a further scarcity of orders or a reduction in price means that there must be a general abut down. Thirty days more will determine this matter. D. A. T. * OUR WORLD S FAIR LETTER. i Midway Plaibance, ( World's Fair, Chic ado. Ia my last letter I teld ot my visit to the Irish Village, and of the textile exhibits thero. Pursuaut to my promise I now give some statistics concerning the lri6h toxlilo industry. This under the 1 oppressive laws of England was almost 1 extinguished; Recent efforts to revive the fabric industry on the Emerald I?le liavo been attended with much success. Tho most prominent of these is the Donegal Industrial Fund, which was ft muled iu December, 1883. Tho initial capital was ?50; the bank, hope aud ieterminmtion; tho motive, pity; the aim, redress; the object, industrial rcgcneia,ion; the founder and honorary manager, \lrr. Hait.

Various knitting agencies were 'ormed in Couuty Donegal, yarn and citterns supplied aud the goods sold ia L.ondon. iiomkspitn woolens. This ancient industry had, as au indusrv, almost died out during the period >f acuto distress in 1879-83; but the icople still made a rough cloth ouclumv lo iius for tl sir own uso. Wool was enrce and there was no market for tho mall cjuantity of cloth made. The m. t- i cr was t.kcn up by tho Donegal Indusrial Fund and the industry organized ,nd revived.

Tho result of < Mrs Haifa technical teaching in Co; lonegal has been that the homespun > adustry has been revived and has taken j n a vigorous existence, so that whereas I a 1883 it was difticult topurchaso 1000 1 nrds of ill made stuff, now not less thai. 1 ?? < A JAPANESE TEA HOURSMOO,000 cimes into the county for the lomcspuui that the people have been au_,bt to make.

Inthis factory the farmer1* wool is taken and worked up into blankets, flannels and tweeds as may be required. The whole mill is worked by local labor trained on the spot. TIIK KKLL? EMBROIDERY Were invented in 1881. Classes for teaching them wcro opened in B*llioakillo, Parsons Town, Lurcania, Downpatrick and Gwicdoro. They are now mostly worked in Co. Dublin. The litions are woven by hand in county Armagh. Tho Industry gives employment at good wag. a to over 100 persons, and is rapidly increasing, chiefly ewieg to the demand in America.

Pabis.?lio reply of the Siamese Minister of Foreign Affairs, In the name of his king, to the French demands is couched in most courteous terms, but Siam only agrees to give half the territory demanded by France. Tho reply says: "His Mfjcsty, therefore, consents to the delimitation of frontiers between Sinra and Cambodia. All territory on the left bank of Mekong river, south of tho line drawn from tho most northerly of Siamese military po.ts, recently occuuied by the Franco-Annmite troops, to another point 4il"ded in the same latitude,"^TmlxTs on the eighteenth degree north latitude, will ba regarded as Ana mito and Cambodian territory, the rivci below the point indicated becoming the line of division between neighboring States, as far as to tho point at which the river enters Cambodian territory, and the U80 of the island iu the river being common to thrco coberminus military posts."

Turner, of tho African Methodist Church, who has been in Africa in the iutcrest of the mission work of his church since January, lias returned to his home in Atlanta. Bishop Turner while he did not go to the Dark Continent in the iutsrest of the colonization of the nogro directly, yet he made that question an important part of his observation. He comes back to this country advocating colonization earnestly as the great bopo of the negro. He CAme in contact with some who had gone to the land of milk and honey, as it has bceu held up to the colored brother by emigration agents from Georgia,and says they are doing fairly well. Many of them are prosperous. The Bishop, however, docs not believe in sending the scum of his race to Africa, but he thinks the chances for prosperity are best with the inteili geut negro. Common laborers, he says, can be had in Abundance there for 25 cents a day and the negro in this eountry could not compete with them. His idea is to encourage the colonization or emi gration of negro?3 capable of employing the natives and helping to civili/.e them. The great drawback to emigration, he saya, has heretofore been the lack of transportation facilities, there being no steamship line to Africa. This, however, Bishop Turner is at werk to overcome. Ho says he is now negotiating with European and New York capitalists to establish a lino of steamers from New York to Liberia and says the outlook for early success in the movement is good. When this line is established, Bishop Turner will lend his influence toward in* ducing the emigration of the better class of negroes from this country. ARMED MEN SMILE AT GEORGIA.

Denver, Col.?Two thousand hungry men were satisfied at the Ilnyainrkct at noon sad as many mure went away hungry. Now hundreds of mon with families dependent upon their oxcrtious have been compelled to seek Parson Uzzel's and Dean Peck's mission and sit with the bums until food is passed to them. These men are not tramps. They are men suddenly thrown out of work, and their money is spent. They do not tulk unreasonably as a rulo. They arc too helpless for that. T^cy aro simply waiting and womb-ring if there is to be an immediate relief. The young men say: '"We shall go back East. There is no work here for us t> do, and if we cannot get work we will have to get our living without work. "Wo certainly wou't starve." A Cornish miner stood at the Iluyrasrket Mission, waiting for his turn to receive a bowl of beans aud a half loaf of bread. "I want to get out of Colorado," lie said; "I waut to go Eust, where there is plenty." "What would you do tlicr.*?" ns'?cd mother. "The factories are closing down "iid there is no work for us." "Well, thcro is plenty for starving meu, and it is more than you can say for Colorado." A girl of Scotch birth walked all the way from Colorado t'prings to Denver and asked for aid. She said she lnd come from Boston under a year's contract to work in Raymond's Hotel in Qleuwood Springs. 8he was to get return transportation If she was discharged at any time. This she did not get, and she had ninnag'd to reach Douver without asking assistance. Women are walking the streets rsking for work in order to get food for their children. The State militia opened up qunrttrs in Rivor Front Park for the des'itute, who may sleep In tents until some means arc provided to get the people out of the State.

Some time agon rtlf styled Northern ft xtile manufacturer visited Basic City, Va , and give out the information that I e had come South to ptck out a suitable locality to establish his business. lie looked urouud aud said that of all places ho had tho pleasure of visiting in the ouuiu) diisic \^i\y uiifircs&uu iiim us mj most favor iblo for his onterpriso. Other places lie staled had offered to guarantee him big bonuses, but the facilities thai were rcccssary to fully carry out his de j-ign were in each place wanting in oue w ly or another. The stranger had an imposing appearance, and a plausibility el 9| eech that was at once convincing. Niturilly enough,the Basic City people was delighted especially thoie who had dipI ed rather deep in land futures when the great land boom was on in the South. Tuc-se specula1 ive gentleman, without any investigation as to the stranger's character, means, or ability to carry out the scheme proposed, hastily convened a meeting of the citizens of Basic City and laid before them in glowing language the opportunities offered them by the imposing capitalist, who would establish a textile business which would not only enrich but adorn tho city. After a fev proposition, approvals, and rebuttals, the sense of the meeting was taken which was found favorable to the agreement drawn up between the stranger of the first part and the citizens of Basic City of tho second part. To Wit: that the stranger of first part agrees to erect a substantial brick building upon a lot of land horoaftcr to be designated, said lot to bo in or nearly Baste City. Said buildiug to ba exclusively used for the manufacturing of textile fabrics and to cost, machinery included $75,000 and it is also agreed that the foundation of tho same is to bo laid ai onco. For which consideration the citizens of Basic City of the second part agree to pay to the stranger of the first part $25,000 when said building has been raised to the second story. Everything being stisafactory the agreement was signed and scaled. When the second story of the building was reached, which cost the stranger something like $3,000, he received the $25,000 and skinned for parts unknown. Printed on Spiders' Web.

On account of this laxity, which still threatens to bring disaster, 1 am satisfied that the national government shni'd assume control of this quarantine, in accordance with section :> of the act of February 15th, 180:1, which states: "If the State or municipal authorities shall fail or refuse to enforce the s>, 1 rules and regulations, the President shPl cxecut'i uud enforce the same, and adopt such measures as in his judgment shall he necessary to prevent the introduction and spread of such disease, and may dcta 1 or appoint oliicers for that purposo." | -1 win ana tin', tr.c state of Ueorgia has no State hoard of health, and that the qnarrntine at Brunswick is of a local character altogether.
