A short 1908 article from The Modern Review on the pashmina (shawl-wool) trade of Amritsar in the Panjab. It covers the origins of the industry under Ranjit Singh, the import of pashm from Tibet via Rampur and Kashmir, the Kashmiri weavers, loom-woven (Kannikar) versus needle-embroidered (Amlikar) shawls, growth in shops and looms, and comparison of Amritsar and Kashmir quality, dyes and adulteration. It also notes cotton-wool mixtures (Garba), German imitations, brokers' sales practices, and a table of present prices against 1899-1900.

A 1915 article from The Modern Review on the economic history and condition of the Indian cotton mill industry. It traces India's early dominance in cotton textiles, the suppression of Indian cloth exports by British policy, and the growth of mechanized mills from the 1850s, with an index-number table of mills, capital, looms and spindles from 1879-80 to 1913-14. It then discusses obstacles: the managing-agent system, poorly educated mill owners, over-capitalisation, the excise duty, scarcity of capital and skilled labour, and competition from Japan and Lancashire.

A 1908 review article in The Modern Review that critiques a book on jute cultivation in Bengal by Nibaran Chandra Chowdhry, a government agricultural inspector. The author argues that government experts ignore the experience of jute-growing farmers (Rayats). He disputes recommendations on soil, manuring, crop rotation, spacing and fibre extraction, and recalculates the cost of cultivation (labour, ploughing) to show a profit of only about Rs. 3 per acre, not the Rs. 110 or more claimed. It also covers jute prices, middlemen, rents and rural indebtedness.
