TJhae stock of all the Coimpaniies is fronm twenty to thirty per cenit, above par, and the ntat earninags range all the wav fronm eighteen to twenty-five ad a hialf per ct. oat invesqtmnats. It is also shown that cotton cenn be mranufactured here for a cent anid a qiuarter a pound less thani in New England. a starthinag truth when it is remembanered that OVer sixteen mnillioni l)(unds aire eoni verteed lito eloth yealy. T wo lan dred thousanad dollars Itnf a pit al of only two anid a quarteir milliota is a heavy gain ovor the proflts of New Enigland. -There are now in thue State sevena teen factories, ruintag niunety-live thousand spilaes and( twvo thoasanad looms, emlploying over t wo thousnand operatives, anid conasuminag thirty-six thousand bales of cotton a year. Toun tiames as mauny spiunlles and looms would .be required to utilize the whole crop of the State, from which athe Increase would be toen times as great as at presenat. Now when cottona sells at twelve cenats yarn sells at twenty cents, a proof that at least sixty-six per' cenit. could be added to the increase of tho State by the estab iishtmenit of factories. It is mnuch to be hoped that the magnidecent ef'oirts of the News ond Courier to adver tiso and delopel~ the resources of the State will be crownted with success.
