AMERICAN SILK.-It Is very Interesting to
watch the slow but real progress that the art
of silk manufacture has made in this country.
1t was not one that originally seemed to have
great advantages for domesticatlon here; nor IS
il vet demonstrated beyond cayi that 1t can be
profitablv pushed so far as many among Its pro-
motors believe. And yet the measure of sue
cess that has attended the planting OF the null
berry and oak that is.Sweet to the sllk-worn;
the health ofthe worms and strength OF their
silk, and the employment Of Chinese in the
management of the silk plantations, has certain
" raised the silk interest to a position that
entities it to regard There is now about
$3O,00O,OO0 capitol invested IN this country,
against less than S3,OGO,00O when the war
broke out. The sixteen thousand operatives 10
the factories earned about O,OOO, and Wove
between $50, 900 900 and S4O,OOO,0OO OF silk
goods last year. If it we're not necessary to
send the California silk to Europe to be reeled
there is every reason to believe that the ,mprov-
ed machinery created since French and German
operatives came here, and the more remarkable
improvements 10 dyeing, joined to the special
quality of the California fibre, would really iu-
sure for us an established place in silk fabrca
ton. The American silk that has been pro-
duced has commended itself for beauty, strength
and finish; and the Paterson weavers show as
much ability as those of the Tyrol. Germany,
France or England. California has factory,
and once more promises to attempt an increase
in preparing cocoous. The European market
has not been prosperous for variety of reasons
and is not gaining. So soon as we can reel
what We raise, and send it from the farm 10 the
factory, it is probable we shall be able to hold
what we have unexpectedly gained and held SO
long and improved 10 so much Philadelphia
