For a completeseries of alpaca and mohair manufactures—(a branch ofbusiuess carried on almost exclusively in England),—which illustrate, very strikingly, the great capabilities ofthese materials. The articles are of much variety, in-cluding fabrics composed of alpaca with cotton warps, andwith silk warps yarn-dyed, and dyed in the piece: they areplain, twilled, figured, and Chines , or made with printed iwarps. There are, also, goods composed of mohair with :similar combinations. All are characterised by peculiar

lustre and brilliancy, equal in many cases to silk; theyare also remarkable for regularity of texture, softness,and fineness. It may be confidently stated that similargoods have never before been produced; and the greatincrease in the consumption of articles of this descriptionamong all classes of the community, renders the displayan interesting and important one. Mr. Salt was one ofthe first to introduce alpaca wool iuto the Bradfordtrade, aud by his enterprise and skill has mainly contri-buted to the extent and perfection which this departmentof industry has attained. In addition to the articlesalready mentioned, Mr. Salt exhibits an assortment ofmoreens used for furniture hangings; one series beingmade from English wool, and the other from the RussianDonskoi fleece wool. Both are w orthy of notice for theperfection of their manufacture; the latter, especially so,considering the difficulties in the way of successfullyworking up so coarse a material, which had never beencombed prior to Mr. Salt having effected that object.

The whole of these goods are adaptedfor foreign markets. Messrs. Schwann, Kell, and Co.,are merchants, and not manufacturers; but, as they have,at great expense and trouble, directed the preparation ofthe articles exhibited, as to texture, combination of mate-rials, and dyeing, the Jury wish to mark their sense ofthe enterprise, taste, and public spirit shown by thisfirm.
