 nual average quantity of linen cloth, therefore, 

 of.all descriptions, made in this county for the 

 last ii years, will amount to 5,155,8145- yards. 

 And as a large proportion of the cloth manufac- 

 tured for private use is of a fine fabric, the ave- 

 rage value of this may be estimated at i s. 4 d. 

 per yard ; consequently the annual average va- 

 lue of the whole will l?e 223,556!. 135. 2 d. 

 And the medium value per yard io-/ T d, 



Of cloth of a coarse fabric, one loom is com- 

 puted to make from noo to 13 20 yards per 

 annum. But as the above calculation includes 

 all diapers and fine linens, the average quantity 

 wrought by one loom may be fixed at 1000 

 yards 5 consequently the whole number of looms
