ROSS NEWS.
(From a Correspondent). We understand that the two mills of Messrs Stuart and Chapman Ltd. have closed down indefinitely for want of orders. We learn that for the past two months they have been chiefly engaged fij cutting stock in the hope-that the demand would improve. The yards now being full and no further orders being obtainable, it has been found necessary to close indefinitely. If the mills remain idle for any length of time the position of Ross will lie very serious, as the majority of the malcj population, amounting to between fiO and 70 are employed at the mills.
