MANUFACTURE OF LINEN. 77 



As merchants and shippers can judge of the value of linens 

 offered them by bleachers only by a comparison of the prices 

 and quality of goods placed before them, it may be interesting 

 and useful to them to know the exact expenses incurred in the 

 manufacture of the article, and as the prices of light four- 

 fourths export linens are now in the bleached state as follows : 

 Set or Quality 8 JO 9 30 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 



Price /8 /81 /9 /9| /10 /10| /111 ,/ !/|

Price 1/2 l/3 1/6 1/8J 2/2 2/7 2/11 3/2 4/0 



I shall now add to this the first cost prices, in the brown 

 state, with the description as to quantity and numbers used in 

 making such goods.
