Issue No. 65 of the weekly trade journal The Textile Mercury, published in Manchester on 19 July 1890, covering the cotton, wool, silk, linen and jute industries. It contains editorial comment on labour disputes and weavers' associations, reports on the Japanese cotton and silk industries and the Crefeld velvet and silk trade, dyeing and bleaching recipes, and a US correspondent's letter. The designing section continues a series on sateens and their derivatives with point-paper drafts, a fancy dress stripe and a zephyr tartan pegging plan. The issue also has machinery notices (a Bolton wool-spinning mill, an oiler, a drill), local trade news from Lancashire and Scotland, markets, patent abstracts, company registrations and a directory of machinery makers.
