| TEXT | William C. Snow, Esq., has been Agent for many years. It has been so long established, that, we are informed, nothing is known of its original capacity, or the exact time of its commencement, except that at the beginning its capacity was quite limited. Both Dyeing and Bleaching have been carried on from its commencement. When it was first established, and for some time after, the charge for bleaching was twelve and a half cents per pound, payable in cotton yarn, at the ticket price, yarn No. 12 at thirty-four cents per pound. In the year 1819 or 1820 the price was reduced to eight cents per pound, payable in cash. At present, in this as in the other Bleacheries, the average price for bleaching and finishing is about three fourths of a cent per pound. |
