THIS Company has been formed for the
THIS
purpose of making by power-loome strow matting of the same description as that now produced by Land-looms in the neighbourhood of Canton (China).
The export of Mutting from Chins to the United States has of late years become most important trade, inving risau in the last 10 years as follows:
From 179,472 rolls shipped in 1899/1800 370.107 rolls shipped in 1898/1899
Το
but, as umal, the quality of the goods has fallen away with the increased demand, while prompt delivery, tocontrac tins, is become increasing- ly difficult.
Many attempts have been made to devise a loom which could be worked by steam to tako the place of the crude hand-looms, used by the Chinese and Japanese, but success has only been attained by a loom which became the property of the Kofe Aauufacturing Co. and which has since been brought to a high state of perfection by father inventions and improvements,

The promoters of this Company, having orperimented with a small trial plant of 56 of these power-looms and introduced various fur ther improvements suggested by their know-9 ledge of the Matting trade and requirements of the market in the United States, are now satisfied that Matting made by such machinery, giust supersede that made by hand-looms, and have Accordingly entered into an agreement with tho Kobe Manufacturing Co. to acquire all the rights to the invention.
While experimenting with the 50 lorana, some 10,000 rolls were made and shipped, and the zo- ports on the later and better made shipments
were all of a highly favorable and encouraging nature, the evebness of the fabric and the great improvement on the old hand-loom waiting especially as regards the selvage or edge. being praised and commented on. One particularly grant difficulty was to get the machines to turn ever the straw so as to produce a clean surface at the odges of the Blatting; this difficulty was. overcome some few months ago, and the looms can now, in the opinion of experts, turu out a perfect fabric.
As each power-loom can produce about 30 yards a day as against 6 yards produced by hand-loom, the saving in time is obvious, while the advantage of being able to rely on unetual delivery will be a great boon to dealers at home, who at present have to put up with much delay and loss of time in getting their geode.
The advantage is still more obvious to-day in view of the political unrest all over Chins and the great probability of the present troubles in the North spreading to the South, in which case the matting industry in the districts around Canton is likely to suffer to such an extent that it may take years to recover, matting being entirely dependent upon the labour of this pea- sant cinss when not engaged in their ordinary farm work.
It is proposed to erect a Factory capable of ruuning $50 looms, producing about 100,300 rolle per annum, on which it is estimated, at the prices recently obtained in the United States for the Mutting sent there for sale, there would be u net profit of at least $1 per roll, or say $150,000. In course of time further experience and economies will undoubtedly improve upon | those figures.
