Japan and China Now Manufacture Their Own Cotton Goods
Washington reports an interesting view from Thomas Jernigan in Shanghai that falling US and British cotton imports coincide with rising domestic Chinese and Japanese cloth production. He notes Japan’s mills grew from 1 mill with 450 spindles in 1863 to 46 mills with about 600,000 spindles by 1893, and predicts China will reach 360,000 spindles and 3,000 looms by year end, with labor paid in gold or silver, altering international value and competition.
