SECTION III—LINEN, &c.
This section includes raw fibres, yams, corclage, and other manufactures therefrom, as

A.—FIBRES.
No description of raw produce is more industriously sought after by manufacturers
than vegetable fibres, and India is a field to which they have long and hopefully directed
their attention. Undoubtedly the vast resources of our Indian Empire in this branch
are as yet but partly known, and there is good ground for believing that a large numher
of fibrous plants grow with luxuriance, which would yield a material commanding a
constant demand in western markets if a large and regulär supply could be secured.
