Notwithstanding the impulse given to trade
by good times in our country. The ex-
PLANTATION Is found in the fact that 3O7
textile establishments were constructed or
enlarged in the United States during the
first six months of 1900, of which forty
two were exclusively for knit goods,
hosiery, etc. Gradually. but surely. says
the consul, the American manufacturer is
claiming his home market. AS to imports
into Great Britain, he Says:G
Most noticeable is the increasing popu-
