The profits are not excessive in view of the vicissitudes of the business, the changes that are necessary in the way of new machinery and new methods, and the probability that in the course of a year or two there will be a renewal of the conditions of overproduction. The present market price of the shares is about 161. There are about 600 stockholders. One of the...
16 페이지 - China grass cloth of commerce is only to be woven by hand labor, in which, of course, the Chinese themselves are beyond the reach of competition. Large quantities of the grass have, therefore, been in store in London and elsewhere for years. Some enterprising manufacturer would occasionally purchase a few tons with which to make experiments, but the only result for a long time was, that he who experimented the most lost the most. Thousands and even tens of thousands of pounds were sunk by one and...
17 페이지 - It seems certain that the manufacture of the grass fibre will be established in our country at no distant day; but in the mean time there is a market in England for all that we can conveniently grow. It is for our planters simply a question of experiment with the seed, having in view the market price of the raw product. Successful experiments have been made very recently in Java and in India, proving that the grass will grow in any climate warm enough for the culture of cotton and sugar, provided...

17 페이지 - America we have, on the other hand, vast tracts of country which, being in the same latitnde and with very much the same climate as those districts of China of which the grass is native, should be able to grow this production to great advantage. Why not, then, introduce its culture...
16 페이지 - Chinese have for centuries made, by hand labor, various descriptions of " grass cloth " well known in America and Europe, and often of great strength and beauty, from the fibre of the Boehmeria cordata, or Urtica nivea, known in commerce as Chinese grass. Large quantities of the grass have at various times been brought over to England, and probably also to the United States, in the hope of finding a market among the dry goods manufacturers who are always on the lookout for new materials ; but it...
