3084. Then the No. 1 veil which you sell at 1s. 6d. would cost 9d. for the knitting?-We pay 9d. for the knitting of it.
3085. You give out the worsted: what will that cost?-I should think for the coarsest, about 5d.
3086. Would that be the price you pay for it, or the price you would ask for it from a knitter?-It is the price we pay for it; it is Shetland wool.
3087. Which you don't sell?-Which we don't sell. We sell no kinds of wool.
3088. What does the veil cost you for dressing?-11/2d.
3089. Is there any other expense connected with?-There is not on that identical veil, but there is other expense connected with the trade.
3090. Have you to pay freight?-Not freight; but when we get a quantity of goods of that kind, perhaps one-half of them cannot be sold as they are. The colour is so uneven, that we have to send them south and dye a great part of them.
3091. Do you send one-half of each lot south?-Sometimes one-half, and sometimes more and sometimes less.
3092. What is the cost of dyeing?-We pay 1s. a dozen for dyeing; and there is the freight south and the freight back again, and we require to re-dress a great many of them.
3093. So that some of these veils may actually cost you 1s. 6d.?- Yes; and some of them cost less.
