Inquiries into Yorkshire and Lancashire Manufactories
York letters discuss the state of Yorkshire and Lancashire manufactories, arguing they are in a languishing condition especially in worsted and cloth trades. The writer notes wartime demand and high prices, then peacetime price rises and wage pressures, warning of consequences for the landed interest if trade cannot compete, with concerns about land rents and provisioning costs.
