Owing to considerable distress pre-
vailing in many agricultural districts,
writes Consul-General b. II. Ridgely,
OF Barcelona. the purchasing power Of
the Spanish peasants has been great
ly curtailed. In former years a large
trade was done throughout Spain In
hleached linen and linen yarns. No
household. however humble. but
owned its set of linen sheets. which
formed part of the dowry Of every
peasant girl on her wedding day. On
account Of the greater cost OF linen.
which has placed It among the list Of
luxuries, this once important branch
of trade had dwindled down to an in.
significant figure.
