2742. You have pointed out some differences in answer to my questions with regard to several of the points, but you don't remember anything else on which you incline to differ from him?-No; I think there is very little in which I would be inclined to differ from him.
2743. Is there anything else you wish to state?-I should wish to make one explanation with regard to the evidence given in Edinburgh about the cost of the worsted for a 30s. shawl.
2744. That evidence has already been spoken to by Mr. Laurenson?-I did not hear his evidence.
2745. He stated that the worsted for a 30s. shawl would come to at least 10s.?-If it is Shetland wool, the worsted for a 30s. shawl would cost me about 12s.
2746. If a 30s. shawl is made with any other kind of wool, is there a difference in the cost of the wool?-There would be a difference of about 3s.
2747. The English wool would be about 3s. cheaper?-Yes.
2748. And the shawl would sell for how much?-I suppose for about that much less, or about 27s.
2749. A shawl exactly the same in other respects would be made out of English wool for 3s. less?-Yes; for 2s. or 3s. less.
2750. And it would also sell in the market for 2s. or 3s. less?- Yes.
2751. The knitting in that case would be paid at the same rate?- Yes.
