The tenth annual report ofthe Silk association
Of America, just issued, says: Inc IMPORTS Of
any preceding twelve months, except the year
ending in 1872, and they will closely. approach
the amount then imported. Although the year
prices of raw silk, there have been important
changes in the character of the supply. The
| imports of raw silk at New York and San Fran
valued at 81, 29S S45; from May 1881, to May l.
| 1882, 81, 5S2,667 The amount of sewing and
machine twist silk manufactured in this country
has increased considerably during the year, the
! production being estimated as being from ~ to
10 u cent greater than that ofthe previous year.
The manufacturers of broad ELK goods have
had to do their best to hold their own and to
meet prices, owing to the large imports OF for
eign goods on undervslued invoices and domes-
tic competition. The business this spring in
| the ribbon manufacture was considerably larger
than usual the demand for somber
ribbons being exceptionally brisk The heaviest
decline is in the production of fringes and dress
trimmings In many instances stocks OF goods
have sold for less than the cost Of production.
In regard to the entire business OF SILK manu-
facture, the report goes on TO say that while
there were fewer radical changes demanded by
fashion than in some previous years. there has
been much done in replacing the anhquated
machinery of mills with that which is newer
and more effective. New Localities have been
sought by manufacturers, and large mills have
been erected in Hawley and Allentown in Penn
sylyania, BOonton and Dover IN New Jersey,
and in other places. The growth OF the indus
try at Patterson has been cramped' partly by the
insufficient number of hands and partly by the
shOrt-sightcd policy of the town authorities,
which contrasts strongly with the liberal induce
ments to manufacturing enterprises That are
offered In other localities. Or the silk goods
brought into.tnis country. "a to % per cent come
to New York. In 1851 the American manufac-
turers contributed about one.third OF the silk
goods used In this country SILK goods stand
