THE NEEDLE INDUSTRY.
Germany Is Rapidly Coming to the
Front As EngIand's Rival,
From the Journal of Commerce.

From the Journal of Commerce.
The export trade of sewing needles forms
a very important part of commerce in
Germany. Formerly England supplied that
country with needles; this industry, ac-
cording to the United States consul at An
naberg, has, during the last few years.
developed to such an extent that the
Germans are able to meet their English
competitors, not only in the markets of the
world but in the British colonies and in
England as we'll The principal seats of
the industry are Aix-Ia- Chapelle, Burt
scheld Iserlohn, Altoona, Nuremburg md
Schwalbach. The factories of Aix-la-Cha-
pelle alone produce $4,000, 900 needles week.
ly. The following figures show to what
extent the exports from Germany of these
needles have developed. During the eight
years, from 1880 to 1887, the German ex-
port of needles of all kinds-embrodery
knitting, darning, sewing and sewing ma
chine needles-amounted to II 900 900
pounds, valued at $l2, 100000. The follow
ing eight years make a still better show
ing. During this period the quality ex-
ported was 100000 pounds, valued at
$l5,O00000. The enormous growth in the
production of this article is due principally
to the export trade to China, where Ger
many seems to entirely control the mar
ket. Other coutries importing German
sewing needles are British East Indies.
France, the United States, Austria Hun
gary Italy, and Turkey. In conclusion.
the American consul says:
Under the production of their govern
ment the Germans have built up a needle
Industry which commands the respect of
the world. At first they initiated the Eng
lish methods of manufacture, but their
superior technical training soon enabled
them to discover the defects of the English
machinery, and they adopted new and i'm
proved devices and followed their own
course of manufacture. The infant indus
try Of few years ago has become one OF
national Importance. The manufacturers
go into the markets of the world pre-
ferably into new countries, and compete
successfully everywhere"
