Two pages from The Textile Mercury of 20 February 1892. The first gives specifications for new power-loom designs (cotton dress goods in large plaid checks, a shirting pattern, and a figured mantle cloth made in double plain), including shafts, drafts, sett, yarn counts and colour sequences. The second continues a series, 'Analysis of Pattern IV: Fancy Combinations', on working out the weaves of stripes and checks from cloth samples. The first page also opens with trade news on cotton prices, the McKinley tariff, and US customs rulings on thread counts in fringed linen towels.
