Two pages from The Textile Mercury (4 October 1895) with a column of foreign correspondence and a "Designing" section of new fabric designs. The correspondence covers the US tariff bill, the Canadian cotton and woollen trades, and asbestos protective clothing. The designing section gives drafts, pegging plans, reed and yarn counts, picks per inch and colourings for a linen dress or towel design, a fancy diagonal gingham, worsted trouserings and coatings (designs 184-186), a woollen cheviot suggestion, and a cotton or worsted dress fabric (design 187).
