Issue of the Manchester weekly trade journal The Textile Mercury, dated December 27, 1890 (Vol. III, No. 88), the last issue of the volume. It covers the Manningham plush weavers' strike at Lister's, overtime in Kidderminster, tariff and retaliation debates (McKinley Act, French tariff), and the Indian Factory Commission's report on mill hours for women and children. Technical items include an American straight knitting machine with an illustration, a new bleaching process, dye recipes for cotton and half-wool, and printing with tetrazo colours. A design section on figured dress cloths and tartan checks and stripes has pegging plans, and the issue closes with textile market reports, company news, gazette news and patents.
