2848. 'One large hap, 18s.:' would you have a profit on that?- Yes; I might have about 2s. That article was made specially to order.
2849. Was it made with, your own wool?-Yes.
2850. 'One white hap, 9s. 6d.?'-There might be about 1s. on that hap.
2851. Was it bought over the counter for goods?-I think that one was made upon an order; but it was paid for by me in goods.
2852. There is another one at 9s. 6d.?-That is one of the same size and of the same colour.
2853. Suppose that 9s. 6d. hap had not been made to order, but had been bought over the counter and had been settled for with goods, what profit do you suppose would have been upon it apart from the goods?-I cannot say.
2854. Was 9s. 6d. the price which you paid to the party selling, or was it somewhat less?-It was 8s. 6d., and I would have a profit of a shilling on it.
2855. That was when it was knitted for you?-Yes.
2856. But I am speaking of articles which were bought by you: what profit would you have upon such an article then?-I could not tell unless I knew the kind of goods they were to take for it.
2857. But apart from the goods altogether, what would you give for a shawl that you would sell for 9s. 6d., if it was offered to you for sale?-Perhaps I might give 9s. 6d. worth or goods.
