Two pages from The Textile Mercury, August 23, 1890, with the weekly "Designing" column for cotton and linen fabrics. It gives nine numbered dress-material, shirting and stripe designs with warp and weft particulars, drafts, colour orders and pegging plans. A second section on gauze fabrics explains the relation between healding (threading), pegging and sketched patterns for Figures A, B and C, with notes on doup crossings. The first page also carries trade news (US tariff, Fall River and Paterson mills and strikes, jute bagging) and a short queries and replies section.
