564 Monthly Agricultural and Muteorological Reports. [ July t» 
By accounts from America, it appears, that during the laft year, fome-of our linen mer 
chants thipped off a confiderabl quantity of rotten linens to that country; fome of them. 
looked well tothe eye, others were full of holes; which were concealed in the folds of the 
cloth, and when wet they went to pieces like brown paper. The Americaris cannot get a 
full fupply from afiy other market, or they would probably buy but few Irith linens. Many 
have fubftituted cotton for linen; andif fome method is not taken toput aftop to the prac- 
tice, whatever it may be, that is fo pernicious to the cloth, the Irifh linen trade will be mas 
terially injured,
