Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 7 May 1892, containing part XII of the series "The Analysis of Pattern", on calculating the weights of cloth. It gives worked rules for the weight of warp and weft, of each colour in a striped warp, and of warps mixing yarn counts via average counts. A "New Designs" section describes a cotton dress design (Design A) and a broken-diagonal cotton suiting (Design B), with drafts and pegging plans for dobby looms. The first page also carries the end of an item on Massachusetts versus Southern US cotton mill competition, hours and wages.
