BY EDSON B..SMITH. Special Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, February 13.—Orders on manufacturers’ .books have shown & sharp. inorease since the turn of the +| vear and particularly since the 1st of February, and there can be no ques- tion that business throughout New England Is growing better. The bank clearings and car loadings, usual in- dexes of trade, are increasing and now are running well ahead of fig- ures of the corresponding. period of last year. There is a feeli in local banking ciroles that the p ge of & solliers bonus will mean her period of in- flation. It is believed a considerable part of the money pald ex-soldiers in such even' would be immediately put into circulation again, creating a de- mand for wearing apparel which would put the textile mills and siroe factories on a capacity basis. Thousands of textile workers in New England are on strike today as a consequance of a wage cut of 20 per cent in some sections. The greater part of the Rhode Island mills are closed down and many locals vdted to EO out in New Hampshire and Maine mills, where the cut became effective today. Many of the northern New Engiand mills are expected to close temporarily. Best Week of Business Experienced This Year BY JAMES R. RECORD. Speclal Dispatch to The Star.
