way, each defendant Is expected to take care OIL

been fellow -cOnspiTators there obvious reasons
why they cannot draw very far apart.

report Just issued by the Silk Association of
America, summing up the statistics of the fiscal
wear. ending June 80 1852, shows that the manu-
facture of silk goods has attained the highest
point in its history III the United States THIS in
dustry is PECULIARLY subject TO great fluctuations
In bad times it will fall off onehaf in single year.
In good times 1t will expand rapidly even in the
face of high wages. During the sunny
season of business prosperity following
the return Of specie payments 1t has
grown year by year and it has now reached
n development of which hose who are pushing its
fortunes may well be proud. The American makers
have the satisfaction of knowing that they have now
doubled the product of the very best year they ever
had before the panic of 1873 The fact is the more
gratifying because it is attended with the cir cum
stance that the gain in the Importation of foreign
silk goods by foreign makers since the year last re
ferred to is almost nothing and that the importa-
ton of many lines of goods is now being rapidly
cut down.
THE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR.
Il is hard to ascertain the exact product of the
American makers, year by year. But there is one
nfalible index to its relative amount. The goods
are all made out of imported raw silk and the ex-
act amounts of the yearly importatiOns of the raw
material are easily ascertained. American raw
silk is not yet produced in quantity large enough
to figure perceptby in the industry. 1t amounts to
n few thousand pounds and that is all. Foreign raw
silk is the cornerstone of the industry. The num-
Der of pounds imported and consumed runs up into
the millions. The import of raw silk in 1873
amounted to $6,46O,62 in value, or 1,159,42O
pounds It fell off nearly one-haf the next year.
Since 1s76'77 the importation at New-York and San
Francisco (which is fully 90 per cent of the whole)
has been:

1t is the opinion of prominent members OF the
Silk Association that Europe can never compete
with Asia in the production of raw
silk. There appears to be one insuperable
affection the same which renders it so difficult 10
carry on the raising of silk iii America as reg
uar industry 1t is the cheapness and excellence OF
labor in ASIA. Bancroft speaks OF the superiority
of labor and the redundant population Ie-
ouired for the culture of silk and these conditions
exist nowhere as they do in China and Japan.
Even in Italy the slk-raisers cannot hold their
own against two countries where wages are II
cents day. Asia Is therefore the source OF prnci-
pal supply.
WHAT CAME FROM ABROAD.
When the people prospecting they buy silk
goods, and if the market is not supplied by domes-
tic makers, then the deficiency must be purchased
abroad. The foreign manufacturers still have the
lead in the American market. They are gradually
losing ground. but they still have the bulk of the
trade. They have increased their sales largely
since the return of the good times. 1t is to be
noted however, that the importation of IL S1-'S2 Is
the first which has reached the high figure of 1873
The total importation TO the United States in 1873
was 1886 44S,01S; but il fell off TO $19 S3S. 900 in
1878. aud It has only now again gone up to the
original figure Fully 90 per cent of all
the foreign silks sold in America, and sometimes
the WHOLE are brought in by the steamers arriving at
the port of York. the trade being in the hands
of New-York merchants. The Importation at New
York has been

The value of the goods made out of this raw
material in the American factories was, in the year
inst ended, probably about $35,000,OO0. What
ever be the exact value, it is certain that the pro-
duct of the $40 American factories exceeded any
thing known in history. The demand Tor domes ic
silk goods was unprecedented. Silk dresses rib
bons. velvets handkerchiefs, and all sorts OF soft
and pleasant fabrics sold readily, and the whole
industry appears to have enjoyed salts
factory and prosperous year. In these
DAYS tho question is no longer
asked who wears an American silkP Evidently
a great many people are glad TO wear an American
silk for it is estimated that nearly $5000,000
worth of dress goods were produced and sold, and
the manufacture and sale of ribbons and handker-
chiefs reached remarkable proportions. The old
prejudice in favor of foreign made goods has nearly
been conquered.
The raw silk appears TO have come chiefly from
China and Japan. The Italian and other European
sources of supply sent very little raw silk to Amer
lea. The figures for 1sS1'S2 are as follows:
