The Cotien Trade

OF ST. JOMN ON A HEALTHY FOOTING,

'

ee

(St. John Sun.) + We announced in the Sun this morning, said a reporter to John H. Parks Wednes- day, that the annul meeting of the New Brunswick cotton mills showed the affairs of the company to be ina gratifying condi- tion. Was the year’s business above the average ¢

| Yes, indeed it was. Last year’s business |gave a net protit of 10 per cent. and a divi- Idend of six per cent. was declared. Some ‘improvement has been made and new ma- chinery added, consequent upon an _ in- _creased business. We have worked a little over 49 weeks during the year, which,

' when holidays and time consumed in _ re-

pairs to machinery, etc., are taken into consideration, it will be seen, is very steady |work fora big establishment. The num- ber of persons employed was 325 and the wages paid out in that time was about $80,- GVO. | You have purchased the St. John cotton mill ? | Yes. That mill is excellently situated and has.11,500 spindles and 250 looms, with every facility for doubling its capacity. St. John is a good place for manufacturies. \1t has a good climate, cheap fuel and the jworkpeople are intelligent and _ easily taught. The freight arrangements to all | parts of the Dominion are really excellent for transport, and the difference in freights ‘between St. John and Winnipeg and Mon- 'treal and Winnipeg are trifling. The raw material can be landed here at all seasons lof the year without difficulty, and only a short time ago, I am pleased to say, 1 made such arrangements that the freight on cot- ton from the south to St. John is no higher | than from the south to Boston. Then, St. ‘John is a good place to get workpeople for a cotton mill. The elimate is healthy and the life so pleasant that they much prefer a city to a small town. In our mill we work sixty hours a week, with Saturday half holiday, which they also very much like, while in many other mills the empleyes have to work sixty-six hours per week. Then, again, we are now running in ac- cordance with the Factory Act, introduced at last session, and which I hope to see car- ried into operation at an early day, as it is andoubtedly in the interests of the working ple, and there can be no doubt sixty urs per week is enongh for any man to work.

aT do you expect te start the St. John m

Oh, in the couse of a few weeks, Mr. Beamhall, the manager of the wills, left England on the 10th inst., and I have just received this document by mail. [The document shown to the reporter by Mr. Paiks was the articles of agreement be- tween Mr. Bramhall and a firm in England acting in behalf of the St. John company, wherein Mr. Bramhall is engaged to take charge of the mill. At first we will confine ourselves to the manufacture of the grey cottons, but I hope before long we will be able to put up dye houses, as there is abun- dance, there being some fourteen acres of land. We will employ about 200 hands at the start.

There can’t be the dullness existing in the cotton business that is made to appear jin some quarters, suggested the reporter.

Not at all. The cotton trade, on the whole, is in a healthy condition just now. In fact, for the last six months, the busi- ness has been better than ior several years. The demand is equal to the supply and all the mills in Canada are profitably working full time and some over time, and I see no reason why any well managed mill would not make six to ten per cent. on their capi- tal at the present prices.

You say present prices,Mr, Parks. Do |] understand from that cotton has advanced in price /

Yes slightly, but cotton was away below cost before the advance was made—in fact it was even cheaper here than in Manches- ter for the same quality. Butlet me add, in this city and throughout Canada, cotton is cheaper to-day than ever before under any other tariff.

What do you think of the future of your business /

Well, I don’t like to be too sanguine, but I hope to see 1,000 persons employed at the St. John cotton mills in the uot far distant future. You see the demand has now become equal to the supply, and with our increased population I have no reason at all to believe that there are too many mills now in Canada.

The National Policy has benefited the cotton as well as other industries, has it not/ queried the reporter.

Unquestionably it has. I do not wish to be understood as meddling in politics, but I do hope that whatever happens in politics no change will be made in the National Policy. It has been a very great benefit to manufacturers, and I think any change in it would be injurious, not only to the cot- ton, but to all manufactories. In our busi- ness we look to the Upper Provinces as an important market, and I think the same remark will apply to other mills in this Province and Nova Scotia, end I am quite within bounds when I say three-quarters of the manufactured cotton of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia goes to the Upper Pro- vinces. We have agents in Quebec, Montreal and Toronto. lam just now ar- ranging for agencies at Winnipeg and Vic- toria, British Columbia. We do consider- able business with Winnipeg now, and it is gradually increasing. Besides these mar- kets, we are opening up quite a little busi- ness with Newfoundland. We have orders in now for delivery this month and next to St. John’s.

What is your opinion of the future out- look for St. John in a general way.

I believe St. John has a future before it and | am extremely sorry that some peo- ple in this commeanity are not more hopeful of St. John as a manafacturing point than they are. They do not seem to realize that we y a fine nu for the pursuit of mantifactnres. If fhe ptople were only

more hopeful we woule. be better off. [ find no difficulty whatever in competing with the ‘apper province people, and the only trouble is we have not quick enough despatch of goods. I find no fault with the Intercolonial Railway. The rates and des- patch ou that road are ail right, but it is the delays on the Grand Trunk which cause all the trouble. This matter is hardly worth mentioning now, for we will soon have the Short Line completed and then those difti- culties will be very much lessened. That, line, have not the least doubt, will be of great benefit to New Brunswick, particu- larly St. John.

Murdered at His Desk.

A WINNIPEG BOOKKEEPER MYSTERIOUSLY KILEED WHILE AT WORK IN THE OFFICE OF HIS EMPLOYERS.

A mysterious and dreadful murder occur- red at Winnipeg on the 13th inst. C. A. Schofield was bookkeeper for D. H. Me- Millan & Co., who operate a large flour mill at the foot of Lombard street, a lonely part of the city. Schofield took a few hour's drive yesterday afternoon, and returned to the mill in the evening to put his books up. At midnight Night Watch- man Miller, while on his rounds, saw him at work at his desk, and later at one o’clock noticed that the lights were extinguished in the office, and supposed Schofield had yone home. This morning Schofield had not appeared at his home and search was made for him. Investigation showed that he had been murdered at his desk. The furniture in the oflice was broken, disarranged and covered with blood, and the room showed sigus of a Cesperate struggle. A train of blood ran from the office to an ice hole in the Red River, about a hundred yards oil, into which it is supposed the body was thrown. An Italian dirk covered with clotted blood was found in the snow near the river. The safe in the office had been blown open and about a hundred dollars taken. Miller, the night watchman, was arrested on suspicion, but protests his inno- cence. Schofield was a married man, about thirty-five years of age, and leaves a young wife who is frantic with grief. The affair has caused intense excitement in the city, and a large party of men are cutting away the ice and dragging for the body. Fully ten thousand people visited the scene of the murder this afternoon.

Harvest of the Sea.

os

(Toronto Mail.)

The fish harvest of the Maritime Provin- ces for 1886 is valued at $8,400,000. This is an increase of about $150,000 over the value of the yield on the year before. It would seem that our Eastern countrymen are taking annually more and more out of the sea. In 1871 their harvest was put, in round figures, at five millions of dollars ; in 1878 it reached six millions; in 1882 seven millions; and now it is eight millions. There was an increase in the yield of every kind of fish caught except herrings and halibut. Of mackerel there was an increase of two thousand barrels, and of lobsters an increase of nearly a million pounds. The mackerel increase is noteworthy at the pre- sent moment, because the American fisher- men report adecrease in their mackerel catch. It shows that the three-mile limit, from which the Americans have excluded themselves, is a fishing ground of some con- siderable importance after all. Prince Hd- ward Island, with its 108,000 inhabitants, does one million dollars’ worth of the fish business. One of the great industries of the Island is lobster canning. This busi- ness has been pursued so vigorously that the lobsters are becoming scarce, and some- thing in the nature of *‘ protection for our lobsters” is urgently needed.

eer = AEG RS St A Streng Indication,

The rapidity with which Mr. Blake abandons one after another of his pet principles as the batile grows in intensity, is the best evidence in the world that the shoutings and boastings of the Liberal press are all put on. If Mr. Blake were sure his party was going to win, would he, for instance, promise to abandon his long-held opposition to the National Policy! Would he write a letter to Mr. Murray, the Re- peal candidate in Pictou, Nova Scotia, declaring that if he succeeds in the battle he wil] not take off the duty on coal? Yet such is the fact. Driven to extremities he profes:.s his willingness to drop every dis- tincti - feature of his opposition to the present Government. Has he been sincere in his attacks upon the Government during all these years! Is he sincere now? It is impossib!+ for him to have been sincere jn the past and also sincere in the present. He is sincere in one thing—his greed for office and power. There is doubt about everything else. There can be no doubt about the greed of office which possesses his soul.

Catholic Statistics,

The ‘‘ English Catholic Directory ” for 1887 gives some interesting statistics as to the strength of the Roman Catholie body. For Great Britain and Ireland it is given at 5,820,- 000, Ireland alone having a Catholic population of 3,970,000. Scotlanc has nearly 350,000 Catholics, of whom nearly 160,000 are in Glasgow. England has 1,500,000. The Catho- lic population of Great Britain, Ireland, and the colonies and dependencies, is placed at over 10,000,000. This portion of the Church is ruled over by twenty-two archbishups, ninety-three bishops, eighteen vicars apostolic and nine prefects apostolic. There are eet: two Catholic members of the House of Lor«'s, and eighty of the House of Commons. Of the latter England sends five; Ireland seventy - five and Scotland none. ‘*SadJer’s Catholic Directory ” for 1887 places the Catholic popula- tion of the United States et about 10,000,000.
