Mixing Yarns.

By force of Industrial circumstances an odd and Interesting kind of internationalism appears in the report that Hongkong factories are knitting with a mixture of Japanese and American yarns. An estimate for the current year IS that American yarns to the value of about one million gold dollars will come into Hongkong and go out again Mil over the far East in knitted articles, the bulk, of them made of American yarns but a considerable part of American and Japanese yarns mixed. People in North China, the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, and In smaller number in South America and Europe will thus be going about in what might be called “American-Japanese hosiery “made In China.’ ”
