Issue no. 146 of The Textile Mercury, a weekly British trade journal published in Manchester, dated 6 February 1892.

Technical content includes an installment on wool dyeing principles, nickel as a mordant, recent dyeing patents, a drying-machine reversing gear, and a page of cotton dress goods designs with weave drafts. The issue ends with regional textile market reports, company and patent news, abstracts of specifications, and a directory of machinery makers.
