although. at present, with the exception of the mixedstuffs, an ordinary fabric only is produced there. InDalmatia and in the Military Frontier this branch of in-dustry can scarcely be said to be carried on at all; andHungary , together with the Yayvode and the TameserBanate, Transylvania, Croatia, and Slavonia , produce hutcommon stuffs, for which the neighbouring Austrian pro-vinces furnish the principal supply of yarn; for theaverages of the five years last referred to show that14,728 cwt. of yarn were exported thither, whereas theimports from thence amounted only to 594 cwt. Thenumber of hands engaged in the occupation of cotton-weaving amounts to 300,000.]

[The production of wool and woollens is a most impor-tant branch of industry, and its export trade is onlyReceded by that of silk goods. The raw material of
winch, besides a large quantity exported, is entirely ofhome growth. Nearly half the wool of Austria is Hun-garian; next in importance are Bohemia , Galicia, Moravia,Silesia, Transylvania, Upper and Lower Austria . Thewoollen yarns are usually spun in the cloth manufactories,and several spinning-mills have been lately established.
The shawls, which are manufactured almost exclusivelyat Vienna , combine durability and tastefulness with cheap-ness, and have long been extensive export articles.
Some specimens of woollens mixed with cotton, silk, andthread, as well as carpets and similar articles, are exhibited.]

[The woollen manufacture is most extensively diffused,and the raw material receives its greatest increase invalue in Silesia, where 230,000 cwt., in Bohemia , where150,000 cwt., and in Lower Austria, , where 40,000 ewt.are annually worked up. With less enhancement ofvalue wool finds a considerable consumption in Hungary ,amounting, together with that of the Vayvode, theTemeser Banate, Croatia, and Slavonia , to 100,000 ewt.;also in Transylvania which takes 40,000 cwt., and on theMilitary Frontier , which absorbs 20,000 cwt. In the otherprovinces of the empire the manufacture is carried onupon a smaller scale, their consumption being about equalto their production ; but Galicia and the Bukowina con-stitute an exception to this remark, for these scarcelywork up one-tenth part of their production of the rawmaterial; and, with regard to its enhancement in value,they will probably stand between the first-named pro-vince and Hungary (excepting, however, Dalmatia , whichfurnishes only the commonest articles). Among the par-ticular towns, Beichenberg, Briinn, Vienna, Iglau , andBielitz stand in the first class of producers of woollengoods. Vienna manufactures scarcely any cloths, whereasin the other localities both cloths and other woollen goodsare extensively made.
The manufacture of worsted yams is not adequate tosupply the requirements of tho monarchy. It is mostconsiderable in Bohemia . Altogether about 10,000 ewt.of worsted yam arc wound off 30,000 spindles from 2o,000cwt. of wool. The imports of worsted yam are almostexclusively furnished from Saxony and brought mto Bo-hemia ; on an average of the same quinquennial periodlast referred to, they amounted to 12,900 cwt.
Thus there remained for woollen yam and hand spin-ning about 600,000 cwt. of raw material. Of this quan-tity something more than the half, or about 350,000 cwt.were spun, for the most part in Moravia, Silesia, Bohemia ,and Lower Austria , by machinery on 550,000 spindlesinto 250,000 cwt. of yarn; the remainder, representing avalue of 18 millions of florins, is hand-spun.]
