Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 24 January 1891. They carry trade reports on wool, worsted, flax, jute, hosiery, lace, carpet and dry goods markets, notices of new companies, and a list of British patent specifications published. The second page gives abstracts of specifications from 1889 covering spinning spindles, combing machines, looms, knitting, ramie treatment, and dyes. The technical content is mechanical and chemical rather than about weave patterns.
