Article from the Indian Textile Journal (October 1896) reproducing Robert P. Porter's account of the rise of mechanized cotton spinning in Japan. It gives statistical tables on yarn imports and domestic production, per-head consumption, spindle counts (1890-1895), and numbers and daily wages of male and female mill operatives. Two illustrations show a Japanese hand loom and a hand gin (churka) with an ancient spinning device. The scan also includes short unrelated trade items on wages at Howard and Bullough's Accrington works, Turkey red yarn imports into India, and clean small castings.
