1,000.000 taels has quickly been subacribed In 10,000 shares of 100 taels each. To show the confidence felt in the future of the mills it need only to be stated that 2,700 more appli cations were received than could be met. At the same time prospectuses have been issued of two mora cotton mille: ope by Messrs. Holliday, Wise & Co., (the capital $1,000,000, one¤alf; of which is taken up in England and the other reserved for China) and one by Messrs.
