Movements in the Quality of British Cotton Textile Exports, 1815–1913

Author

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate trends in the quality of British cotton textile exports during the period 1815-1913. “Quality†is defined as real value per yard of cloth and pound of yarn exported. Thus, a reduction in export quality does not mean that a specific type of cloth has deteriorated. Rather, it means that there has been a shift from more expensive to less expensive types of cloth. It may also mean that the same type of cloth is being ex-ported in a different state—white instead of printed or gray instead of bleached.
