Latest Report.
Correspondents Of the Journal Of Commerce.)
Washington, juno 30.-Consul Schoenhof,
at Tunstali, England. has furnished the
State Department., under date OF June 5,
1883, with very interesting and instructive
comparison Of the cost of manufacturing all
wool dress goods in America and in England.
The goods selected for comparison are known
as ''sackings." In America they are largely
used for ladies' dress. They arc made Of
carded wool. and are Of plain flannel weave.
They represent, therefore, flannel manufac-
turing ia the different items ,f labor, a. we'll
as sackings or ladies' cloth.
The American mill selected for comparison
uses mostly Ohio and Michigan X fleece, the
price of which at the time Mr.. Shoenbof's
calculations were made stood At thirty five
cents per pound. A shrinkage of fifty per
cent. takes place in ths wool in the securing
and manufacturing which brings the cost Of
ths wool in the cloth to seventy cents per
pound. The cost of carding, spinning. weav-
ing. dying and finishing was obtained by d.
vidlng the actual expenditures for these sew
sral purposes for half year by the number
of pounds of finished product turned out in
that time; and the additional charge per
pound of cloth, including general office e4-
were ascertained In the Same way.
(d) The total cost In Massachusetts Dor
manufactured pound Of goods Is described,
i. e., all-wool sackings used for ladies' dress
goods Is a. follows:
