Mr., Michael Davitt had very graft
flying story to tell the shareholders OF
the Irish Wooaen Manufacturing and
Export company (Limited) at their half
yearly meeting, which was held on the
IL Il inst. It is not often that a. COM
panY, alter being but eighteen mouths
in existence, is able to pay a dividend
of seven per cent per annum, and in
these times Of commercial depression
such result would be eminentlY salts
factory to the ordinary business invest
or; but when this profit has been real
lied by a new enterprise for Ehe deyel-
opment of lrish manufactures congrat~
uations on the good fortune of
the company must be extended
to the Irish woo!len trade at
LARGE. With bodness and an
enterprise q serving OF al!
praise new outlet was sought for
Irish goods, and in the markets OF the
Uoited Slates were found friendly pur-
chasers, who Acknowledged that the
Irish woollens were quite as good as
any IN the market. and that, while in
some Instances it was necessary to i'm
prove in a few minor matters, the man
ufacturers of Ireland were able to hold
their own with those Of England and
Scotland. In the past the wocten trade
of Ireland was one Of the staple i'll
dustrles of the country, until the Eng
llsh Parliament passed measures which
we're cnly zoo successful in destroying
il: but now that IL revival has come, we
hope that the trade Will continue to ad
vance, aud with even still greater
strides than it has made during the last
few wears, and that, as pioneers, tie
Irish Wuuilen Export Company may
continue to prOsDer.
