Considerable improvements had taken place already 

 in the ten years 1884-1894. " India shows us, since 

 1884, extraordinary developments," Schulze-Gaewernitz 

 remarked, and " there is no doubt that Germany also 

 has reduced the number of operatives per 1,000 spindles 

 since the last Inquest." " From a great quantity of 

 materials lying before me, I cull," he wrote, " the 

 following, which, however, refers solely to leading and 

 technically distinguished spinning mills : 



Per 1000 spindles. 



Switzerland 6-2 operatives. 



Mulhouse 5-8 



Baden and Wiirtemberg 6'2 



Bavaria 6-8 



Saxony (new and splendid mills) . . 7'2 



Vosges, France (old spinning mills] . . 8-9 



Russia . . . 16-6 



The average counts of yarn for all these were between 

 twenties and thirties." 



It is evident that considerable progress has been 

 realised since Schulze-Gaewernitz wrote these lines. 

 As an exporter of cotton yarn and cottons, Germany 

 has made rapid strides. Thus, in 1903, she exported 

 1,625,000 worth of cotton yarn, and 15,080,000 

 worth of cottons. For 1910 the figures given by the 

 Statistisches Jahrbuch for 1911 were already 2,740,000 

 and 18,255,000 respectively.
