bat, as usual, the quality of the goods has fallen away with the increased demand, while prompt delivery, to contrac. time, has become increasing- ly difficult.

Many attempts have been made to devise a loom which would be worked by steam to take 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 Kobe Manufacturing Co, and which has since been brought to a high state of perfection. by futher inventions and improvements.

The promoters of this Company, having experimented with a small trial plant of 50 of these power looms and introduced various fur ther improvements suggested by their know. ledge of the Matting trade and requirements of the market in the United States, are now satisfied that Matting nada by such machinery must supersede that mile by hand-lovias, and have accordingly entered into an agreement with the Kobe Manufacturing Co, to acquire all the rights to the invention.

While experimenting with the 50 looms, some 10,000 rolls were made and shipped, and the re- ports on the later and better made shipments were all of a highly favorable and encouraging nature, the evenness of the fabric and the great improvement on the old hand-loote matting, especially as regards the selvage or edge, being particularly praised and commented on great difficulty was to get the machines to turn over the straw so as to produce a clean surface at the edges of the Matting; this difficulty was overcome some few months ago, and the looms can now, in the opinion of experts, turn out a perfect tabric.

Canton is likely to suffer to such un extent that it may take years to recover, matting being entirely dependent upon the labour of the pea- sant class when not engaged in their ordinary form work.

It is proposed to erect s Factory capable of running looms, producing about 100,000 rolls annum, on which it is estimated, at the prices recently obtained in the United States be a net profit of at least $1 per roll, or say for the Matting sent there for sale, thers would
